Much much later ... 10040
Finally got around to putting this together this -
It does look great when finished.
The pirates though are likely to be overwhelmed by the massed ranks
of imperial soldiers who have got fed up waiting for their own ship to come in

What's with the string tied at the rear (aft:) ?

cone part will not stay long on the single-stud 1x2 with or without the monkey
fooling around up above ... or am i doing something wrong ?
