I'm still not a floating rock fan, but this definately takes it in a new direction! Well done! God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf gallery: (URL) (pic=link) (18 years ago, 7-Nov-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Hey, nice idea, taking floating rocks in a new direction. Nice construction too. The masthead and sky barnacles are great touches, and the overall shape is quite nice. I like that there's a tall lookout perch even though they'd presumably all have a (...) (18 years ago, 5-Nov-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Read about it (URL). No pictures in the article, but it's still a pretty cool write up. And there's a brief mention of an old treatment for syphillis that makes one shudder, even three centuries hence. Dave! (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Was there a 5 mark coin for the original pirate sets? If I remember correctly the coin denominations were something like 5, 15, 25, and possibly 50. Can anyone confirm this or is this just my imagination? (18 years ago, 29-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates)

I've been preparing to run a session of Evil Stevie's Pirate Game, and I just realized that the ship classes are set up slightly oddly. For wide-hulled ships, the classes are 3 (no middle sections), 4 (1 middle), 6 (2 middles), 7 (3 middles), etc. (...) (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.pirates)

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)
