(...) I agree with George, this is far and away the best sailing-ship MOC I've ever seen on Lugnet. Awesome! (I can literally say my jaw dropped when I first saw it.) You get a great image of the almost gaudy opulence with which these ships were (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Ahoy Nicely done indeed! Big, ornate, and armed to the teeth. The sterncastle is perhaps a bit too square, but the presence of proper galleries is an authentic touch. Cheers Richie Dulin (20 years ago, 17-May-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Hello Volker, This is incredible! I remember seeing this in the background of pictures from what I assume was the Bavaria gathering you mentioned. I wished at the time that the builder would show us some close-up pictures, and here you've fulfilled (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Hello James, there are 98 cannons in the whole ship, but most of them are somewhat "faked" - they are only light-gray minifig heads or 1x1 round bricks, fixed into technic holes inside the ship Marmaris (20 years ago, 16-May-05, to lugnet.pirates)

I am a fan of large sailing vessels, and I have several around the house, and a large appetite for shipbuilding supplies... BUT: [LEGOSet 7075] $A50, 132Pcs – Am I crazy? That’s nearly 38c a piece! Well, perhaps I am crazy, but then I am a fan of (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-05, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.reviews, FTX)

The new Juniorized pirates are a HUGE disappointment as they are intended for 4 year olds. They just don't compare to the superior 1989-1995ish traditional minifig pirate sets. They have zero appeal to me, but I think perhaps there may be a few (...) (20 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.pirates)
