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.

Hi people, I'm sorry to respond to my own post. However, I wondered, is it normal that noone responds to my topic for a week?

The various crew and bystanders are also beautifully positioned. The shield (...) (18 years ago, 26-Sep-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
