Mister Phes

Freakin ignorance! The books have been appearing in my eBay searches but I've been overlooking them because I'm after the DVDs. Do you happen to have the titles of the 11 freakin books, Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn?

I can tell you that the Australian catalogues will have the same name as the English catalogues because I remember growing up with entirely different names to the ones used online today (I.e. The American names) and sometimes I still refer to a set by its UK/Australian name out of habit. If you have a camera or scanner it would be good to get images of the Pirate catalogue pages so we can put them in our Great Library.

It will be permanent so long as Mr Tiber permanently participates in the Pirate Forum. It would be sad to have to replace another Pirate Moderator. :'-(

Yes, you're thumbnail link works fine! Here's an image of Davey Jones and Maccus

Yes, I agree that would be fine but Oo7 already has a similar thread covering almost the same MOCs, so I guess what I'm saying is do we really need two threads so similar?

I concur that this is a good idea! But who shall volunteer to create and maintain it?

This must be a first... Vader posting in the Pirate Forum hasn't been seen before!

We could possibly modify the first post of this thread to discuss just one MOC, such as the MOC Phred has pointed out.

There seems to be several MOCs in that folder, as this thread doesn't seem to focus on any particular one is there much point to it? We might as well merge this with Oo7's Bored of BS ships unless specific direction can be found.

I thought you were going to say "Jolly Jumping Junipers" My what big sapphires and rubies this jeweler has! Can't help but notice the lack of gold though.

I've been pondering these ships with oars... Overall is having oars an advantage because apparently it reduces the ships maneuverability. Since the hull needs to have open ports to allow for the oars it can't turn too acutely or the "oar ports" will slip beneath the water level. Henry the VIIIth discovered this was a bad idea the hard way.

Can't say I've ever had that problem, but I also understand that concept called "gravity"

Gretings SavaTheAggie!

"Recently" is obviously a matter of perspective, for example; from a geologist perspective 1 million years is considered recent. However, I did in fact mean 07 but for some reason my keyboard put a 6 where the 7 should be. I must look into adjusting it before it makes any more typographical errors.

So they're just standard rubber bands? Not the rubber bands that have been included in some LEGO sets?

Then you two best get back to the Pirate Forum and figure out what's changed...

I know what you mean about lack of space! However, I think I shall get my Islander Poster laminated and hang it on the back of the wardrobe door.

ZCerberus raises a few good points because generally (not always) when users see pictures of a MOC at the top of the thread they are more inclined to write about it and therefore your thread gets more responses more quickly. We also have a How to perform a batch image resize TUTORIAL if you're unsure how to resize your images to 800 x 600, but ultimately its up to you whether you feel this is necessary.

You ever consider adding a few more hinges?

Is this thread a conversation between me and ZCerberus or something? Why are ye other laddies commenting?

I really like how this MOC opens up down the middle providing access to the interior. It makes things so much more accessible that just having a normal tower. Mr Willems, was the "opening capability" part of your original plan or was it something you incorporated later?

Mr Willems you could always laminate or frame your posters so you could display them without fear of ruining them... Must be a pity to have all those great posters that don't see the light of day...

Is there any other additions you will be making besides adding sails and rigging?

The first thing I be asking is are you going add sails and rigging like the picture in the book?
