 | | Ugh, smokey Lego!!
|
|
I ordered a 6274 from some guy over eBay...I could see a few pieces were substituted, but what I didn't know was that he was a smoker! So, today I got my first smokey Lego. It REEKS! I mean, it stinks up my whole room! I threw everything (save the (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I really like the idea of using draught as a quality--it would slow down the really "big" ships in and amongst the islands, and allow maneuverability to mean something. But it also would give the cutters an advantage in getting to the treasure (...) (20 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates)

(...) I'm sorry, that sounded really arrogant. What I meant is that I just bought a TON of gold for the pirate game, and that it seems like a waste not to use it.

I wouldn't go with the draft idea, unless it was minimal. If anything, I'd say class minus three inches. This would make big ships use boats, but allow cutters to pull right up next to the islands. Ports would of course be deep enough for anything (...) (20 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates)

(...) That sounds a lot more like a gong than a bell. ;P The closest I can figure out is to put a 1x1 round brick, 1x1 cone, minifig head, or micro-motor pulley on top of the 2x2 radar dish, but that pretty much rules out using the chrome radar. (...) (20 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

It occured to me recently that, while Lego has given many ships a lovely compass, they've neglected one of the most symbolic pieces of a ship, which every [large] ship ought to have: the ship's bell. I'd like to hear you guys' ideas on how we might (...) (20 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)
