| Wait, you mean the minifigs come with their headwear permanently attached? That's just . . . wow . . . :( (18 years ago, 17-Aug-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

| (...) I also like that set a lot, I have two myself. (...) I also have used one of the hats, and I loved the look of it. I have only used one so far because it was so difficult to remove from the head. I don't have any fancy tools, so I used a sharp (...)

| Ahoy, It's no secret that I'm a fan of the much maligned: [LEGOSet 7075] But the figures included have been an issue for me, so I finally decided to write them off, but make some use of them: (URL) It's not easy to use the hats.

| | | | | Re: The Marathon
|
| (...) Ahoy Sean Marathon is very nice looking! The white and blue colour scheme sets off some really nice work. I'm not convinced about the 'reverse tumblehome', but it certainly yields more usable deck space. I'm thinking that Marathon would look (...) (18 years ago, 6-Aug-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| Ahoy again mates. My second go around at a ship, I was able to throw some ideas I had after I finished the Corinthian into this. I think it looks better not being as tall and being longer, but I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinion as (...)

| | | | | Re: nearly done my frigate..oops!
|
| (...) As far as the rigging goes, what you have on the foremast looks great. Unfortunately, there's not an easy way to turn groups of stays into ratlines... and if you use Lego ratlines further aloft, the lower rigging will look oddly thin. I've (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | nearly done my frigate
|
| Well after my frigate being dismasted and wrecked by the twin storms Joshua and Riley (my two boys) my ship is once again nearing completion. Still working on the rigging and the captain's cabin. What do you think? any suggestions for the rigging? (18 years ago, 27-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates)

| | | | | Re: The brig Seatop
|
| (...) Thanks, Sean. Once twelve cannons are squeezed into the main deck, there's not much space left for detail (though there is some for recoil!). And the after part of the Seatop is mostly filled with supports for the deck and the angled (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The brig Seatop
|
| (...) That is a really nice looking ship. I like the slanted cabin in the back, it was an effect I had tried to do on my ship originally but lacked the pieces (or at least the patience to find the pieces) for it. The colors flow well also, I haven't (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | Re: The brig Seatop

| (...) Nice MOC, Richie! I especially like that you made your own hull instead of just using the prefab ones that lego makes. Do you have any plans to make a 36 or 44 gun heavy frigate version sometime? Now that would be vool! The more cannons, the (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
