I've been too lazy to put 'em the right way and just followed the instructions.
My number three CC met a natural disaster (my son) and has been reduced to its
component parts which lie scattered about. Once the organize-all-lego-parts
project gets finished, I will reconstruct it with the ports the "correct"
fashion. I have a spare set of square sails, port covers, masts and spars,
but I still need to get a wide brown center section to complete the project:
the Imperial fleet needs a flagship that can take on a Redbeard Runner.
Since we are on the subject, how many of you mount the lateen sail on the
Armada Flagship backwards such as it is in the picture? I always turn 'em
around - when I'm not shanghaiing them on to my Imperial Trading Post size
mini-ships.
