| (...) Stephen, Thanks for your compliments, I really struggled as to whether to include the crows nest, I was nervous it would be a little too much. I'm really glad you enjoyed that bit! Jon (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Thanks for your kind words Jojo. The praise of the praiseworthy is the most satisfying sort! I did fret a bit over the black trees but figured that if they were good enough for the forestmen, then they would work for the pirates. I can't (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) This is fantastic!!! I love the color scheme - the brown and tan just go so well together and the black works nicely for the trees (making the brown/tan stand out even more). What is the color of the 1 x 1 cylinder bricks by the windows - is (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Good work, Jon. I was a big fan of SFR as a kid and now you've got me wanting to go watch it again. Also, I've wanted to make a village in the trees but always wimped out, worrying about having enough parts to make the massive trees. But your (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Now that is neat! Reminds me of the glory days of Pirates, when we'd get nifty little playsets like this: [LEGOSet 6270] This was always one of my favorite pirate sets. Very cool, and very playable too. Adrian (URL) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| I haven't posted in awhile, but this MOC made me sit up and grin (even at 5am) :) Favorite parts: - iron winches - deck-style fencing - tree leaves (palm-style) - crow's nest (awesome!) Keep up the great work - better to post gold periodically than (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Oh hey...that's a lot of fun! Great meshing of the galleon bits into the structure. How you've also interspersed the levels to give it a nice flow from section to section. I love the placement of the figs 'in action' as well...really captures (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| Hello! This is so cool! Looking at your MOC I instantly got the feeling I was in a Monkey-Islandish cartoon scene. Very atmospheric, very detailed and of course very skillfully built. Well, I wouldn't have expected the opposite. :-) I didn't even (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Thanks for the compliments Richie. I was just down in CA during the Holiday and I must admit that I did take a lot of inspiration from the Tarzan Treehouse (it certainly was much more detailed when it was SFR). Especially the Ship's bow as an (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Pirate Tree House

| (...) Ahoy! Nice work! It reminds me of the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse (now Tarzan's treehouse, I believe) at Disneyland - whimsical, but also believable. You've achieved a good tropical feel (great choice of foliage for the trees), and I love (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| Hey Bruce, How is it going for you? I hope you are doing well. It has been a while since my last MOC posting, but I've been lurking and posting here and there. I had a lot of problems with lighting and sharpness during the picture taking (I'm not a (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| Hey Jon, Long time no see, welcome back. Arr, this be a great MOC, matey (though shouldn't you be busy making Minas Tirith? ;) ). I love the incorporation of ship elements, and the use of tan rounds really looks like they used bamboo to make the (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| These were posted at EuroBricks, (URL) but someone put the pics on BrickShelf (thanks!)... (URL) set to castle although arguably vikings predate most castle stuff.

| Greetings all! Over the I built a new ship, and improved on two more. The new ship is the aviseo, a small messenger ship made from the small pirate ship in the 4 Juniors line. The other two ships of note here are the brig and the xebec. I finally (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

It will be great if true - the Fury of the Northmen descends on us at last from their homeland. Looks like movie vikings (horned (...)
