Hello, it's me, your friendly Dread Pirate Clangador again. =) I have several ships I've built over the past couple weeks that I've not taken pics of yet. I hope to do that soon and post them. I just have a comment. Do you know how rare the small (...) (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Same suggestion came to mind when I looked at it - needs a rowboat of some kind, and a capstan on the deck. I suspected that you left off the mainsails for visual reasons. Very nice overall, really looks the part! -->Bruce<-- (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Basically, the British are to blame. They used terms in conflicting ways, and then got sloppy (or is that sloopy?) about it. It's a "sloop of war" (class of ship, rather than rigging type), but since that is kinda tedious to say it was simply (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Hi Again, I spoke before checking bricklink for the sets. You can find 7 copies of set 4176 on bricklink. You'll have to pay about 20 bucks apiece for them and you only get one chrome 2x2 per set. There is also 1 copie of 4177 but it sells for (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Hi Daniel, As far as I know, this part only came in two sets: 4177 and 4176. I believe both of these sets are discontinued. I managed to get a small supply of these off of bricklink and ebay. Last I looked, there weren't any to be found. You (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I really like your guns, I might have to use some. If it's one thing I need way more of, it's guns. They are just too expensive for me now on eBay. I've been fooling around with some ideas for guns, but i've only really come up with two good (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
