I can't help thinking that Hinckley's Pirate one looks suspiciously like my avatar... :-D Get it right! X-D

Innocence versus aggression. I did have the Barbarian killing the baby, but then I toned it down... >:-) Well, y'know, I've got too much Pirate and not enough Castle. As for the US torso, as long as you ignore the US on the buckle, I don't think it looks too bad *sweet*

My entry for the Classic-Castle Battle Contest: Tirachinas The Barbarians are attacking the city, but the soldiers' best efforts won't get them far if they fail to guard the drains... Then his eyes fell on the infant... Enjoy! *y*

You do. He kept the half arches from the back of both boats present, and this formed a full arch in the middle, which stores a boat ;-)

*y* It kind of looks like a Slave I...a bit :-D How do you think it would look with the large panel from the Mega-Core Magnetizer? Nitpicking, but the antennae off at angles don't look very TLC...but was it meant to? ;-)

And frontpaged on Classic-Pirates... Here's a link to his webpage on it...clicky

Well...Yeesh!

This tells me you had some way of finding out about it - catalogues, perhaps...these older ones can fetch quite a price, maybe even enough to get a ship - you don't happen to have any lying around, do you? >:-)

Actually, your avatar has an "action" face - Grimace/Grumpy! This could be used for someone in a fight ;-)

I would just add that very few AFOLs have that many tags in their BS folders...

You are missing ye olde sticky up thing on the top X-D As for moulding, as discussed in The Great Shako Debate, minifig headgear is very difficult (and therefore expensive) to produce, because of the extreme precision required. But someday Imperials will triumph. But when they do, red, blue and yellow epaulettes will rocket even further in price... :-|

Are you Bricklinking for this? Perhaps you could add on some heads... Other suggestions: -Fishing (boat/off dock) -Fight -Patrol -Drunk -Trading -Fire

Brickadier General's mortar? ;-)

Welcome! Get yerself a suitably Piratical avatar! What became of your past collection? Sold? :-( Given away? X-O Or at your Mum's house? :-P Do you want to collect Pirates, Imperials (Guards, Soldiers, Armada) or Islanders? *y* I'd suggest all of them! X-D And may I commission you to build a vignette? You should be able to do that with limited pieces... ;-) *y*

Do you own any of those toy soldiers? -Just on a whim, would it be possible to cut the shako off them, drill out a hole for the minifig's head + stud and then paint it black? Or not, maybe *sad*

Yayz I got me my first title given to me by someone else - I chose my last one :-$ Hinckley modified my last one - BBQ King - to King of Clever...& BBQ after I used the same wheel configuration as him in a MOC :'-) And my new title - Baby Boom - comes from my putting 4 babies in my last 5 MOCs... *skull* And my new title - Made a Giant Poo - comes from just that.

Bang yo' up blad! >:-) For those who don't know what that means, it means that I would be willing to do some whacking ;-) ...Or get whacked myself *sing*

Well, I guess you're referring to the old-style cannon, the Octan logos, the blue Explorien cylinders, the use of Dark Grey instead of Bley and some of the older parts in the litter (like the older version of the bevel)...but when you consider that I've obtained just 5 current sets within the past 5 years (3x Crossbow Attack, Skeleton Prison Carriage, Viking Warrior challenges the Fenris Wolf) and not a single Town/City set since 1997, you get the picture :-$ , you get the picture - I couldn't have gone modern even if I'd wanted to. Anyhow, I prefer most of the older sets, but that's another story... >:-) As for believable, I would have gone with 1x6x5 bricks to make up the walls of the tower, but I don't have any in grey :'-( , although I think TLC would do it, hence the SB sets... My votes remain hidden for the time being... *pirate*

*sweet* I'll update the entry once I get round to photomographing it; I've got a slightly adjusted idea, and a better built computer... >:-)

Just to say that I don't think that "foreign" characters aren't working in peoples' titles - alex54's is confuzzled *wacko*

Sorry guys, but I don't like it *sweet* It's killed all the links on Classic-Pirates... And I can't really see what was wrong with the original... And now there are lots of annoying things like: :- D everywhere, as the smilies have nearly died out too... And my avatar reset and I couldn't upload my current one off my computer for some reason, and so I had to BS it... Sorry, my two cents :-$

Ye olde eBay.

There's a competition in the Lego magazine for England this issue, where you have to build an eco technic vehicle of hte future. First prize is a day meeting the team ;-) I'll get more if you want... Hopefully I'll be entering X-D

Well, just so we can get an idea, a rough list of the "action" faces you have would be good - e.g. scared, angry, grimacing, n00bish... For example: Angry: 5 N00b: 10 This is what I do before a large MOC; sort out all my useful faces from the rest. Then we can get a rough idea of what sort of scenes are possible, like fights or calamities ;-)

In due time, but for now I'd pressurise your Bro, not me, to build ;-) Favouritism! X-D
