This will be a brief report. More later in this thread (including hopefully a link to an extensive writeup of the games). ESPG was a smashing (almost literally - we had several hurricane accidents) success. We ran over 20 hours of ESPG. We ran two (...)

(...) I don't know much about historical accuracy, but this is really neat. The way you achieved the curve is impressive. Well done. Jason Spears | (URL) BrickCentral> | (URL) MichLUG> (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Just a quick post to show the latest in Port Brique's defenses, the gunboat Sentinelle du Brique: (URL) Temporarily equiped with an 18 pounder (yikes!) until a purpose built 9 pounder carronade can be cast at Port Brique Foundry, all concerned are (...)

(...) Thanks Richie. The stays also function as 'I can't believe they're not ratlines', since I didn't much like the look of the official Lego ones (and they're much harder to put at funny angles too). Using lots of hinges makes a construction (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Most modifiers of the Black Seas Barracuda add masts, guns and centre sections... not so the shipwrights of Port Brique By Port Brique standards, the stock BSB is certainly undergunned for its size, but rather than go the obvious route and add a (...)

Ahoy! (URL) me, I'm a link!>> The 6285 Black Seas Barracuda ("Schwarzhai" in German, i.e. "Black Shark") has been my all-time favourite pirate ship.

Hello all. Long time, no post... This is my first ship in a while. It's supposed to be a Spanish Caravel, and since there's nary a right angle on the things, I've used a few unorthodox methods to try and create some curviness. See watcha think: (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates)

Its cheaper doing stuff like that in CAD, isn't it :) I hope you build the real-life version soon. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. (...) OK, that makes sense. I'll probably spend a lot of time looking at the Supply and Demand when I'm building.
