(...) Yah, so i guess i shoulda cross-posted to a few more relevant groups as well! 'Cause, although the Harry Potter ship is of Jack Stone (4+ and up age) origin, it's still a nice hull that's in black with gray trim. And the Shark head that fit's (...)

Thanks. Ive been working on this for about 9 months now. Usually I have two ships on the go, a "sacrifical" one for my kids to build using the traditional brown pirate ship hulls, and then my main project. After 3 rebuilds I'm fairly pleased with (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) A nice solution... am I right in thinking the 2x2 with handle (that holds the gunport lid) is mounted studs outward? The recolouring of the bow piece helps make the gunport look like it belongs, too. Cheers Richie Dulin (20 years ago, 1-Feb-05, to lugnet.pirates)

Hm, it seem's they're changing something. A déjà-vu again... Ahoy! I like that. The vessel makes a very maritime impression, well, rather flumitime (I know, this word doesn't exist), that's "belonging to a river", somehow. It looks like a river (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)
