| (...) Thank you. I had originally planned to make this a sailing ship for the 'Bulls' theme, but as time went on I realized the colors didn't fit too well with the Bulls. I'm pleased with how it turned out, but I'm still unsure of which lego castle (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| Well I've saved this post to last, as rightly or wrongly, I've got a bit of a soft spot for Port Brique –– now especially that British ships are putting into harbor. And what marvelous little ships, too -- Demand is incredible, I must say! What ship (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

| Sorry, owing to my whirlwind posting spree I'm going to economize this: 1. "Nelson and his Captains", by Ludvic Kennedy -- just great entertainment (with history)! 2. Naval history in general -- from Athens to Japan, it all draws me back to the sea. (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| Well here's a topic after my own heart... But first (and pardon me for drifting off topic here) offer deep apologies from my absence from the board over the past... oh... say two months. I've been insanely busy, and I just managed to sit down and (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) my apologies, my question must have been too vague. i meant it more in a personal sense. in other words, what do you like to build, what gives you the most satisfaction? otherwise, i would agree with you. it takes a different type of building (...)
