| | | I think I already know the answer to these questions, but I'm hoping I'm wrong: It seems like the pirate-ship masts go together only one way: base-mast, octagonal "crow's nest" platform, then the upper-mast. Is there any other useful way to put (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | (...) Hmmm, there's a mast base, a thick lower section with a built-in base, a medium section, a skinny top section, and a "technic" section (the Armada Flagship uses this). I haven't really experimented with trying to get a precise size. I tend to (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.pirates)

The only ships I've got are the 6289 Red Beard's Runner, 6250 Cross-Bone Clipper, and the 6493 Flying Time Vessel (well, it's got a hull and a mast). 6289 has the 4x4 plate/mast base, the large mast (...)

| | | | | | (...) There is a mast base that is 9 bricks tall. It comes in the two largest ships (Black Seas Barracuda, Skull Eye Schooner) and the Carribean Clipper. You also get one in the set #6270 Forbidden Island. With it, your masts (3 pieces) can extend (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | The parts I have seen discussed look pretty complete, so I will only add my support for the lashing idea. The tallest mast I use on the Agamemnon starts with the tall mast base, a main mast, the the smallest of the top mast, to which I have attached (...) (25 years ago, 10-Oct-99, to lugnet.pirates)

I was playing about last night, and discovered that the tall mast base is a firm fit on *top* of the thick mast section. So if you've got two of the bases, you (...)

And all I have to do to get these bits is to buy one or more copies of the either (...) (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.pirates)
