 | | Who says nobody builds ships?
|
| Hello hello! My name is Benjamin Harris and I'm a new poster here. I've been lurking for several years now, but I finally decided to work up the courage to share a couple of my creations with the folks here at Lugnet. Anyway, since both creations (...)

Maritime Museums. I love museums generally, but particularly (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: What inspires you?
|
| (...) My inspirations are rather all over the place, not from any one area. 1) Haratio Hornblower (A&E special TV series, very well done!) 2) Nelson's Navy -great reference book about the height of the British Navy 3) Pirates of the Caribbean -2003 (...)

| | | | | What inspires you?
|
| It was mentioned in a thread recently that inspiration for building pirate stuff is not as common as other threads. But if we all share our favorite movies, books, songs(?), etc then perhaps we can help inspire someone else. So list your 5 favorite (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: HML Brig Demand
|
| (...) -snip- (...) Thanks! The Demand is now fitted out with a suit of blue and white sails, and is looking even nicer (IMHO!). Although the number of nice looking British ships is not to be sneezed at. (Surely, they're all regflagged frenchmen, (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

| (...) -snip- (...) It really is a great colour scheme, LEGO really hit the nail on the head first time out! (...) My apologies... (I'll blame all the black) I missed that entirely! (...) They'd look really good with some extra fore and aft sails...! (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New vessels set sail!
|
| (...) thank you! (...) i really really like the red and white sails, even though they are not accurate. i also like the black white and yellow color scheme of the BSB, but when taking pictures, it is hard to make out details, because there is so (...)

| (...) WOW! This ship and your other ships are amazing! I'm planning on a pirate themed town myself, so this is amazing. Kepp up the fantastic work. (21 years ago, 13-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New vessels set sail!
|
| (...) Very nice work again! I love the look of the three tiered BSB sails. And the colour scheme is great, too. To my eye, the Orion's mainmast is too far aft, and I think both vessels could benefit from some tumblehome in the hull shape... but (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

|
| In lugnet.pirates, Richard Parsons wrote some good thoughts on some bits-n-pieces that would suit .pirate fans: (...) I could take-or-leave square lattices, but 2h windows would be great (fences are not that great), and 4h windows would be pretty (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
