Well... not any more. I recently ordered hulls on BL and they should have come by now, but I'm on a vacation in Florida so my mail was stoped to keep the stupid neighbor kids from stealing them (They allways try to barter my rare parts off me but I've resisted and I think they would be willing to steal my things.)

That's allmost all it is... I dosn't open at all, but now because I got BATP and the big dors that come with it, those might be the new doors...

Actully, I allways the ship in ITP was a merchant because of the anchors and barrels on the sails, plus, that figure may have been on the SES but he is a merchant to me.

Well, In the new version, there is an 8-stud long veranda where the cannons now, and the two offical cannons have been replaced with 6 smalller customs (I'd say 9lb.s, but when I post pics I'll get all of your more experienced eyes to determine it.)

Pretty much. They were just rebuilds of the same principal design of a sloop.

Well, I didn't have time to make a whole new custom J.Sparrow, so i improvised with one of my exsisting pirates...

Well, even if you don't occasionly take your models and do a battle (Before the begining of both their reconstruction, Fort Victoria and the Sabre would routinely do battle for the Governor's entertainment), Surely you would use minifigs for display value.

Well, I want the Imperials to have a Large 20 flagship for once, and a nice port with an over looking fort, perhaps a modular town...

Bones-apart:No, this ship was destroyed in December. Though in all honesty, the Red-black was inspired by the HMS Exscalibur (now the L'orient).I was going to also have white stripes (For a napoleonic color scheme) but the red-white combination reminded me of a candy-cane too much. Mr.Phes: The Sabre was built sometime in the winter of 2006 a.d. I got bored with it and later rebuilt it numerous times, but those were boring and thus destroyed and is now being rebuilt as a either (1.)36-40 gun frigate, or (2.) a 50 gun 4th rate.

I'd say add an actual deck, a small fo'c'astle, remove the stern castle, and add a new qaurterdeck about, 2 plates higher than the main deck, then add a railing on the fo'c'astle and stern castle.

Yeah, pretty much. In fact, thats why you would buy a Lego set in the first place, for playing and or ammusment. So yes, you would play with it, not just by throwing it around and going 'boom!', but by just positioning them in your models. In fact, when you build, if you are happy with that model, you are playing in a sense.

26c Well, these pics are pretty old, so I'll have to take new one's when Sabre V.2 is finished. An overveiw from the stern: In Fort Victoria's side dock: Umm... The rest of them aren't coming up in the Photobucket folder I made, so just go to my Brickshelf or Mocpages for more. Comments and criticisom (creative only please) are of course welcome.

Well, Sorry I didn't get around to this until about a year later, and the consequence of that is that these pics are outdated and the fort has drasticly changed. First, an overveiw: An inside veiw of the main fort: The outside cargo dock: Governor Broadsides wife Aunt Prudence: Spanish manning the cannons: What be going on here? Uh-oh, PotC all over again: "Then they made me their cheif..." For more pic's visit my Mocpages via the link in my sig. Comments and criticisom (creative only please) are of course welcome.

You know, I am American, and by beating, I mean I shoot out his knees with a pistol so he can't run, then give him lashes, then savagly beat him, then he is hung.

Hmmmm... Maybe a savage beating would have put that Brutax character in line...

No I mean keep the old front part (in addition to the armoury) and have the new section jutting out of the old fort in the water.

So, any more changes to share with us Sir Phred? The ship is coming allong great, though one thing, is it going to have a poop deck (Any one who laughs at that is immature), or only a qaurter deck like now?

HMMM... I think both forts are very nicly designed, so why don't you not destroy your all ready magnificant fort and just add the new one on. like in the first picture, just pernament? That way the fort would be twice as big!

Castle or not, as long as it's using old ship peices so it may be retro fited for the Imperial Navy. I think I have an Idea with what to do with the skeletons. Make a series of vigs based on POTC (Ride)'s haunted caverns sequence! I.e. Hurricane Lagoon, Cap'n's qaurters, Crew's qaurters, the treasure room, and Dead Men's cove. Remeber, DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!

You know, a Tudor village would be wonderful! In fact, if you'd replace some things on it (Medival accents), gave it a harbour, and a fort overlooking the harbour, it could be Old Port Royale...

HMMM... Finger-lickin' good

Well, Mr. Emperor, that was very rude! You don't invite your self over to otherpeople houses!

Did you just say guesstimate? GAAAHHHH!!! I hate the word 'guesstimate'!!!
