(...) Yes I did. I may live to regret it ;) (...) I have made my own mast platform without using the Lego piece, by putting those 1x4 plates with the bar in the yard-holes (they are exactly 5 studs apart if you use one on each side at the top of the (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Too late, I've already got more hull pieces than I currently need. =) (...) Right now I'm just working on class 4 and small ships. Once I get enough built, I will slowly work on larger ships. I had a RBR at one point, but my son razed it. (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Very nice ship. I look forward to seeing some more detailed pictures. I like the angles windows in the stern. How did you make you cannons? They look like standard round 1x1 pieces to me. Just curious as they look really good. ~Clangador (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I agree, on both points. The color scheme uses more brown than I would have used (Black with the white stripe is my favorite, of course) but I wouldn't have thought to use grey. Overall, the effect is nice. It's a monument to the old colors! (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) You can, they're just more expensive. I bought some of mine over Bricklink and Ebay as 6285 and 6286 sets. Others, I built from scratch. A word of warning: Don't overbuy on the hull pieces if you're making ships from scratch, becuase you'll (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

Wow, so much more posting in .pirates than usual... can't comment on all the models but nice ships all round! Thinks we should start a 'ship-building techniques' thread, to get more ideas so I can get a ship back on the sidebar ;) Michael (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Nice Work :) Though the deck looks a little 'square' to me, but then I am the sort that tries to make ships as curvy as possible, to the sacrifice of everything else. Still looks great! And deck guns. Could carry many deck guns ;) Michael (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)
