Ohh, Captain Roger has a better avatar than Mr. Phes... :-D God Bless, Nathan

Go rent Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's hilarious. They're a group of people that wrote what are arguably the best comedic movies and TV show ever. You can't deprive Blackadder of its rightful place... God Bless, Nathan

You need nautical eye sight... :-D God Bless, Nathan

I had a fascination with this set once upon a time. I wanted it very badly. Then I got it and didn't like it as much. It didn't seem good value for its price. As I recall it was over A$25 to buy which is quite expensive for a mere 69 pieces. However 6270 Forbidden Island is bigger with a better assortment of pieces. So dare I say we jettison 6260 in favour of this one? With Rock Island Refuge that is a little heavy on the large pirate bases... 6260 only cost about 7 something us if I recall correctly and I bought a used one a while ago for $12... What are your 5? God Bless, Nathan

You can see it here...pic is link to larger shot in the gallery... God Bless, Nathan

Looking forward to MOCs from your quarter of the sea... When can we expect them? God Bless, Nathan

When you take a fig apart which part holds the soul...? God Bless, Nathan

I may need to rethink my avatar... I mean I love woodsmen and all but... God Bless, Nathan

Any thoughts yet... I just had to have two pirate threads by me at the top of the forum to force Mr. Phes on... God Bless, Nathan

Hey all, Thought this may be interesting, they are very 'lego like'... Pirate MOCs! God Bless, Nathan

Welcome... I hope I can extrapolate from the forum title that we are adding a Castle fan to the board... God Bless, Nathan

Yeah, that's my LEGO dealer. Conveniently he lives near me and he lets me come and pick the sets up so I save heaps on postage! Check out some of his current auctions LEGO Pirate 6281 Pirates Perilous Pitfall LEGO Pirate 6250 Crossbone Clipper LEGO Pirate island 6279 Skull Island LEGO Pirate ship 6268 Renegade Runner I got all those sans Renegade Runner from him... You should his place dudes... LEGO all over EVERYTHING! I suppose you wouldn't mind 'picking up' any fellow eurobricks member's order either? ;) ;) ;) God Bless, Nathan

I didn't have time to write up about the shops originally, but the one pictured above is an Expedition Supply Store and the sign was my attempt at conveying a large ship in sign form... God Bless, Nathan

I don't honestly remember... God Bless, Nathan

Just noticed that was your first post. Welcome! You can introduce yourself in the 'Hi I'm new' (or something like that) forum, and if you like castle feel free to look at Clifton Castle thread. (Forgive the shameless plugg :-D ). God Bless, Nathan

If I'mnot mistaken the actual hands are black rather than dk green. The pic on the box definately shows dk green... God Bless, Nathan

I'm glad you could tell it was a sausage machine :-D ! Thanks much. Furniture isn't a speciality of mine... This is my first serious attempt at any detailed pieces... So I am pleased it came off! The scenery is always my faviorite part (and normally the best). Though there isn't much BURP to it... ;) Thanks again and God Bless you all, Nathan

Just a thought... It seems lego have been advised to move towards more 'playable' 'hero' figs rather than background town/castle/generic pirates/western soldiers of the old minifig packs... They are focusing on individual figs not mass realism. A minifig pack of the four jelly-beans for example would leave people reluctant to buy the big set for the blue one... Whereas the old mindset just encouraged more buildings to be surrounde with basic figs.... God Bless, Nathan

First up Thanks... It took just over a month and a half... and I can only guess at the number of pieces... somewhere between 30 and 40,000 probably. God Bless, Nathan

Well... I am reliably informed by my parents that after the age of 5 I never had another toy besides lego (it adds up). And in laster years I cut grass (measured in miles in the no-mans-land of Canada) and did some other outdoor work like limbing... that added more. But mostly it is just slow and steady... My collection actually isn't that big. That MOC drains it and most of the tubs are now near empty... God Bless, Nathan

I always start in this forum as well... Completely off topic: This post heading looked funny on the main page because of the cut off, it read 'Just In case anyone's f......' God Bless, Nathan

Mine (which I got at Trus) also had thip problem... The box shows dk green hands so I was really squinting... I'll raise this on classic-castle... God Bless, Nathan

It looks just like I remember it, only a bit smaller... I got it for my birthday years ago.... God Bless, Nathan

Hi all, if you don't get out of 'LEGO Castle & Pirates' much (like me :-D ). Be sure to check this MOC thread out... it's worth the trip! My incredible, amazing, fabulous, ...I'm spent; link...

Hi all, I present Cliffton Castle: (pic=link to gallery) deeplinks at bottom of post : ) Cliffton Castle, known locally as the 'Castle of Three Trees' (all right, there are six trees if you want to be picky...), is an outpost of the great Black Knight Empire. It serves primarily as a heavily fortified beacon post but also has a small harbour front . Its name comes from Cliffton Lodge which once dominated the clifftop before the gradually expanding fortifications displaced it. Pics of the 20 odd interiors (with some location references) can be found here. And if you're really interested, my faviorite small details are in this folder (pic=link) Please let me know what you think... I normally include a few fun details but this time I can only offer you the chance to spot two cunning Wolf Pack raiders... Thanks for looking and God Bless, Nathan ohh... a few deeplinks: street, apple seller, Wayfarer's Inn Interior, and another street.
