Hey B, Thanx for all these great flags *y* I'll be saving them to my maj.com folder as soon as i post this Look forward to using them on a ship in the future P

I agree with Mr. P here. Yeah and college students out on their own without the support of their parents with debt past thier eyeballs have loads of money (NOT!) >:-( I don't think very many people are rich on here mate. P

Nice list B *y* , There's also a useful article in answers.com on the HMS Surprise http://www.answers.com/topic/hms-surprise P

Bonaparte, Mr. Phes, or Mr. Tiber; I'm not sure if its beens discussed here already (read 6 pages and didn't have time to read them all at the moment :S ), but... Just a thought on organization thingy here. (Mr. P likes stuff organized X-D ) Should ppl with larger fleets/armies of piratey legos (or anyone for that matter) post one post in the Fleet listing? Army listing? thread and talk about how kool their fleet is or what new sets they got in this thread? :) and talk about thier MOCs in Pirate MOCs, Does anybody have any to show me? thread or make their own thread in the Pirate MOCs portion of this forum. P

I like the new faces *y* but not all of them work correctly. :-/ - - - this one has the same characters that get typed in as the one to the right of it yet only :-/ , not the one to the right can be shown on any post. P

girls? B has girls for an advertisement? what are you guys talking about? X-O j/k :-/ They sung about history repeating itself or history not repeating itself :-P ? P

If that were true the HMS Surprise wouldn't have been such a lucky ship since it was originally a french corvette named Unit

I remember seeing MOC cannons using this technic piece: I haven't been able to find the cannon for months. 8-| If i remember correctly, this cannon had smaller gears for wheels like this: The cannons weren't pictured by them selves but were on a ship. They're a lot smaller than the standard lego cannon in length. P

Already done mate ;-) did it right after i did that post on this thread. Link to the cannon index It's the last thumbnail X-D It's a very inovative design with seemingly limited bricks for a cannon. P

Who destroyed them? I don't remember destroying them in the sea? :-$

i get as many as i can on BL, but not too much money 8-| college kind of limits my funding at the moment.

CC, Just so you know. If there's a pirate set in the future that i'd like on ebay and you want it too. I'm not going to stop bidding on it cause you'd want it too. Nothing personal. If i want it, i'll bid on it till it's close to BL price. P

Amounts of creativity!! *y* Nice lil' ship. maybe have the different lengthed plates to get the triangle effect. P

Would 3 sails look alright? granted it's not 4 like you'd like, but it looks like it'd work. P

Maybe have some Phred that's bored one evening to post on this thread the link to this tutorial that you guys are talking about X-D : Making Sails Tutorial Hope that helps, P Edit: Thanx Mr. Phes. OK i will. bye

the bottom deck is pretty much all black, plus a lot of the interior of the bottom deck is also black. and the black pearl would probably be a lot shorter than the dame du loup. but maybe close to the same width though. it'll be a while before i start construction anyways. P

O I C It all makes sense to me now :-/ Maybe i should be more specific in my question. Ahem :-/ Mr. Tiber, Is that a pic of the actual archeron or a pic of the one in Master and Commander. P

is that a pic of the actual archeron? P

Here's a quote from the Architect admin @ CC CC Contest categories are always based on the prize being given away. In this case the prizes are new 2007 Castle sets. Creations should not be direct copies of the sets or themes, but they should be influenced by the concepts found in the sets. Yes. Winners could quite possibly be the first fans to get their hands on a new set. Yes. Yes if one dragon was good and another bad. Creations should feature minifigures or be in minifigure scale (if you are using mythical creatures). Creating very large entries could harm your score since we will have a hard time seeing all of it in 3 800x600 pixel photos. No, it just has to be an opposing faction. Ben CC Contest Admin P.S. I will work on updating and clarifying the contest pages this weekend before we start accepting entries on Monday. If you have any further questions you can also check out the CC thread about this specific topic: castle contest P

Hmm. Instruction ay? I don't have MLCAD so i won't be able to show anything on there. :-$ I've never used it 8-| The stern on my frigate is getting a huge overhaul real soon. After looking at real sterns on my brother's books. Here's what it currently looks like though. * I think the windows need to be a lot closer together and a little more square on the top deck (oddly enough :-D ) And coloring too. gotta work on the color :) I don't really know of any good sterns for brickbuilt hulls. The stern shown above is my third attempt at it :-|| I like how the bottom deck has turned out, just got to work on the officers' deck area. Going to try real hard to make it look like a late 18th century vessel like this one: P

O I C Look forward to your carronade design. LOL :-D Nope not a cult at all. Hope your ships are fast or powerful commodore. P

To use bricklink, it helps a lot to have an active paypal account @ http://www.paypal.com. For the bricklink account setup: Well first you go to Bricklink Registration Click on register as new member Then follow the other four steps to becoming a user. Should be pretty simple ;-) Any question post on here or PM me. P

Congrats Norro, *y* that's a great find 8-o I wish i could have sniped that order :-$ Look forward to your piratey mocs. P

That's a nice looking ship Z. *y* If you ever decide to have a built-hull, it'd probably be a lot easier to have the now infamous tumblehome effect. I see the original Z-Swivel guns. *y* Sorry i hadn't noticed them earlier :-$ P Edit: Hey Z, Who's the cute kid in this pic?

I had posted this in the Progress of The Acheron Part III Thread. But i figured it may be useful here for those seeking to make brick-built hulls. :)
