(...) Yep. Been away from .pirates for a few days... Advantage is being spyglassed too... (about two minutes away) I just came upon the Victoria first... but they'll both be there in a moment! Cheers Richie Dulin (3 URLs) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) You can go larger than minifig - many ships had figureheads that were 'larger than life' (in many senses of that term). I find a minifig head, on a 2x1 tile (with one stud) on two headlight bricks, with 2 1x1 round plates as breasts works (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Richie, since you're on and about to do some spyglassing for the Victoria, could you spyglass the [now refitted] Advantage again and link it to this thread? The older pictures are no longer current. Thanks! :) (20 years ago, 13-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 (...)

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)
