Do you have to use the hull from the IMTP ship, or can you make the hull with the 6-wide at the front?

You only have to use the bow piece, the rest is up to you!

[Axle]

I may enter if I can find that piece :-|

Looks like I'll have to give this one a miss too... *Thinks of my poor little ship in ITP locked up in a box with all my other lego 10 000 km away* :'-(

I was wondering for the benefit of people who do not own the Imperial Trading post such as Col. Whipstick

Could they use the 7416 Emperors ship?
Since the way its built is nearly the same to the IMTP ship?

Hope you consider it

The hull from the 7416 Emperors ship is idential to the one from the IMTP ship, only the color is different.
So that's allowed !!!

Cap'n Greenhair, maybe you can change the first post a bit to make clear that the color of the hull doesn't matter.
Make it clear that also people who don't own the IMTP but can participate when they own the right hull piece. Maybe that's not clear enough now.

Also you can add this link which contains a list of sets that contain the hull that's needed for this contest:

List of sets containing Boat Bow Brick 6 x 6 x 1

It's a long list of 31 sets, so a lot of members should be able to participate this contest.

You're right B, i hope this clears things up. The color doesn't matter indeed, so you can use any one from the sets in the list.

[Macoco]

Sounds like a very fun contest!! *sweet*
Just one question, can it be a pirate, imperial soldier, armada and so on? Or is it one theme specific?
Thanks

Off to think of ideas

[Captain Blue Hair]

It can be of any theme within the pirate series as you like.

Good luck!

As far as I know, I do not own this particular hull peice. If I do, its in black, but I dont think I do; I may be remembering something else.

And anyway, about half my collection is still unsorted :P

Goodluck all!

And I reformatted the first post so the information is more orderly...
