Joel, All of your work is fantastic and impressive. I'd like to hear more about how you built the maxifigs. Is it all trial-and-error freehand? I'd love to have one of those Spidermans. :) Corey www.brickitgood.com (20 years ago, 4-Jul-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.pirates)

(...) True. Although I made the hull as sturdy as I could, it still needs to be supported at both ends when I lift it (not often!), and even then still flexes somewhat. The main issue with pirate gaming isn't the strength, though, but the weight - (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.pirates)

These look nice. The first looks a bit square from above. I like the use of the wall panels on the 2nd one. That looks like it would be a good basis for a class 1 ship for the pirate game. Frank (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates)
