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 (...)

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)

(...) 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)
