Hi guys I was inspired by this flying island: (URL) ...to make one of my own. I haven't built it yet due to space constraints, but I do have a few ideas floating around. ;-) Then I got to thinking I might want to try an airship to go along with it. (...)

Hey folks, the castle, space, and train guys are all setting up big displays, and we only have one person besides myself indicating they are bringing pirate MOCs.

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)

(...) Funny you should mention that, Wesley - I AM running out of pieces :( I'm building two more ships right now - the first is smaller than the Kestrel, and the second even smaller than the first! It's not just the bricks, either - suitable plates (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to 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)

(...) Har-Har! Seriously, Micheal, you don't have to be so hard on yourself :) Pick up a good book on sailing ships from the public library, or find some images on-line and give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised on how well you do! Aaron (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Thank-you, Richie, for the nice comments! As for the era of pirate hulls being over, no, I don't think so. I use bricks for ships larger than the pirate hulls, but still use pirate hulls for the smaller ships - bricks don't look so good on (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

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)
