| | | Aye! I've always been a fan of pirates. Prior to Lego's official Pirates line I was forced to create my pirate figures with non-Lego material. I leave out the link to those customized figs here. Anyway, in 1989 Lego came up with real pirates and I (...) (18 years ago, 17-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX) !!

| | | | | (...) Hi Jojo, I think I'm in love with the rubber band and cape sash. I can see many uses outside pirates for that. You have definitely got me inspired to start building some pirate forces (once I get ahold of some capes) so I can arm a boat. Tim (18 years ago, 17-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

I love your use of the fence as a balcony. Great idea! Great model! And I also love (...) (18 years ago, 18-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | Great work I really like these! The fence mounted horizontally as a ledge is also a great touch. I have long been a fan of the adventurer stomach torso for a pirate, but Aunt May's is really clever.... The backgrounds are also brilliant. I posted a (...)

| | | | | Ooh! Excellent set of minifig Pirates! Much more character than the official LEGO pirates, and like John, I am surprised how piratey they look without the obvious additions of wooden legs, hook hands, or even the skull & crossbones hat. And the (...) (18 years ago, 18-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | Hey Jojo, These are great. I particularly like the sashes you made out of the plastic capes and rubberbands - it looks good and has functionality in giving a place to tuck swords and pistols. On the torso usage, I thought the Spider-Man Aunt May (...) (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
