Mister Phes

You're quick to jump on this one which great! *y* But as usual your title graphic really sucks :-P You lads really need lessons in fundamentals of graphic design and how to create eye catching text...

Just in case anyone is wondering what's why the first dozen posts of this thread are different, it's because I've merged two threads together. They were piratically the same thing so there was no point having both. Though I assume nobody will really notice.

So it has! I've never noticed that before - well perhaps I did and just forgot about it. All the same good work for bringing it to everyone's attention! *y*

We seem to have become art admirers of late! This fellow in the left corner brings new meaning "bending over backwards" X-D Ok, so it's a clever innovation for a mini-figure kneeling.

Your French torso is everything I imagined *y* and everything I wish The LEGO Company would actually produce.

Blast those exams! They're always detracting from more important things like resizing pictures for the pirate forum X-D All the best with those anyway!

The torso of that soldier leaning forward is what I'd imagine for the torso of solider in a French sub-theme. Distinctly different from the blue coat Imperial Guards.

And they look like this... This IS a whipstick... So quite a noticeable difference there and any seafaring lad shouldn't confuse the two...

Or more likely you have an evil identical twin and we'll never be able to tell which is which! X-O

Isn't a dipstick the device used to measure the amount of oil in a car?

Project Manager of what?

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Bonaparte's sigfig smells! Wait a minute... Aint you South African?

Much better unless someone is still using 28K dialup connection and a resolution of 800x600. X-D Let's compare Bonapartes shall we? X-D Which one is the most handsome?

Yes, resize your images using our wonderful tutorials before uploading them. 800 pixels wide is usually sufficient for "landscaped" images. Ummm, which torso is this? It looks kinda futuristic.

What be the name of your ship Col. Whipstick?

This is indeed a nice lot but if you were really patient (and I mean 5 year kind of patient) you probably could get the same amount of LEGO from winning several poorly performing auctions. Of course finding these auctions is rare.

Headline it now and we can release the results at the end of the week. They don't have to be posted the very minute the competition ends.

You for voted for me? You're too kind Mr. Lt. Col. Thok. Oh wait a minute, you mean Mr TinyPiesRUs's MOC.

Yes, I think that sharpening really brings the MOC out of the picture. You've done well Mr Bonaparte. Very well indeed. Well enough to upload the image at least.

Ahhhhhhh so that's why I've seen it referred to as VOC. I've also learnt there's also two different East India companies, the Dutch East India Company which we've been discussing and the Honourable East India Company which was British.

Then it's your job to make sure he does know the SYSTEM Pirate sets exist - he should most certainly like them more than the 4+ poop. Do they still enjoy it? If not perhaps you could get them to donate it to you. If so then tell them to get their butts to this forum!

Oh leave us all wanting more why dontcha! :-D

He must be the equivalent of the modern day Paparazzi X-D

Yes, much better. Now all you need to do is sharpen it a little to compensate for it begin slightly out of focus X-D

Late! Never! You don't sleep. Sure you may be fatigued and become more liable to fall over board but that's never an excuse for not building a huge ship. Oh wait... Yes it is...
