(...) I don't think it's actually Lego. I even looked at some of the newer sets, but didn't see anything like it. Check this out: (URL) isn't it? I think the sail is cute. (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

What does this hull come from. This is the second time I've seen it on eBay. I don't think it's LEGO, but I could be wrong. (URL) (21 years ago, 10-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)

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)
