Ahoy all, A little advanced technology from the shipwrights of Port Brique, the Guerre de Roue: (URL) More pics (URL) here>, post moderation. The Guerre de Roue was built out of parts on hand, and you can probably tell a few areas where I was (...) (18 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

(...) I agree that weapons traditionally considered medieval should be used sparingly in AoS (Age of Sail) MOCs, but they aren't entirely out of period, nor unheard of in Lego® models. Look just above the row boat in this image: (URL) I guess if (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Hi Richie, I like the basic look about this MOC but it seems a little square to me. All of your larger vessels have flared cabins at the rear which I've always admired so perhaps you could incorporate something like this here. The large axe (...)

(...) Avast you scurvy bilge rat! Uh, I mean... I like the simplicity of the design, clean white stripe, simple sail configuration. I've been planning to use the larger bow pieces for a pirate ship myself, so it's nice to see that it can work. Oh I (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

A very nice little ship. The sterncastle and rudder assembly has very nice lines and those swivel guns amidships are well done. The masts and sails are also well done. I do think the catheads seem a little too long but such a minor nit, not really (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Ahoy! Another vessel from the current shipbuilding frenzy at Port Brique shipyards, the lateen rigged Adroit Main: (URL) (More pics (URL) here> post moderation). The Adroit Main is an experiment in using the ten-wide bow pieces, an exotic rig on a (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

I like it just because of the unorthodox color and plate-built masts. David (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Hi Christopher! Some good work here. I like the lookout, and especially love the different custom designs you used for the cannon and carronades. Also, thank you for the historical write up. I always enjoy that sort of supplement. Thanks for (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I've been out of the loop, but I do get the impression that my old lugnet haunts get a lot less traffic these days, now that theme-focused forums are on other sites too. (I personally still like it here; maybe it's a generation gap (...) (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats, FTX)

(...) Holy moley--five months without a comment?!? Outrageous! I'm always impressed by Pirate-era MOCs, in large part because I have close to zero skill when it comes to building boats. The Inevitable is a fine looking vessel with a lot of (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)
