Well, I grew up with Lego. My first set was when I was in 2nd grade or
before, I think. I remember it was a little Blacktron II fighter. I always
wanted the pirates though. I had a friend who had a 6274 (I think...never
saw it assembled) and I loved it.

Did you notice it's a home-made cloth sail? I made a few experimental ones
before I deployed. I want to get back into it and make a whole bunch of
sails, both of the standard and new patterns. I used the 6 studs on the side
of the masts to place 3 1x2 modified plates with hook (a had a bunch after
converting my spars to studs-up), to create a ladder for the mast guy to
hanging onto.

Thanks. My castle and ninja figs work together as town security and
government. The dragons and blue samurai own the yellow castle, and the
other knights have the white one on the left. The red building is the hotel,
where the ninja sisters (3) and Imperials sleep.
As a side note, I just bought 700 new pirates, so the town is going to be
REALLY crowded soon. Once my ships are all completed, I will attempt to run
the ESPG with some local friends of mine. Arrrr!!

| (...) I did, yes! (...) I'm a fan of home made sails. I've made myself a set of sail templates (out of Lego boxes, naturally) of all the standard Lego sizes, and then gone on to extrapolate some larger and smaller sails to suit. Check out the five (...)
