Sorry for nudging in on Pirates, I'm certain there has been concensus about the new 4+ Pirate sets NOT belonging to this newsgroup - but alas! there's no JackStone group! I've bought set 7072, the small black boat. The boat hull is the one known (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates)

Impressive! Kind of makes me want to build the HMS Surprise, the ficticious frigate from the Patrick O'Brien novels, and more recently the movie. It's a little smaller than Old Ironsides. I'm going to bookmark that for inspiration. (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

I knew I wanted to get the number of cannons correct so I worked off of that. I originally built a cross section of the hull in three different scales before choosing the final scale. I reckon it's closer to 1:72 or 1:60 scale in terms of the ships (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Further, grapeshot was only really effective from close range, and (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, FTX)
