(...) I sure hope it's six wide... I have been after one for ages! They are very hard to get in anything other than pink. (Which migh suit some, of course, but not me :P) New mast piece things too, it seems, which is weird. Aren't the old mast (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I don't know what the scala ones look like, but I'm pretty sure this black one is 6 studs wide (meaning 6 in the bottom of the boat, just like how the regular LEGO Pirate ones are 4 wide) The boat in that set with the island is 4 wide though I (...)

(...) I don't know. I'm tempted to get them from Germany, though. The "big" pirate boat looks super-deformed (like "chibi" characters in manga), but the pirate island and the little boat look cool. Do you think that's a normal boat in black? Or one (...) (20 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) (20 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 (20 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 (20 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)
