You should open all those sets and start building them. Then, when you take them apart, you'll have more space since the pieces won't be in separate boxes, but on top of each other in drawers.

Hi, I haven't been on euro-bricks for a while, but I had a question about bricklink. How many people use it, and is it reliable? Do you have to register to buy? I am about to buy my first thing on bricklink, and I'm unsure about the normal procedure. Thanks in advance.

How does a kid shoot himself in the eye with a low power Lego cannon, that's ridiculously hard to operate, and get hurt badly enough that their parents sue Lego......

I thought this was a fake "what if" set until I saw the box! This has to be the best ship yet.

This is CRAZY! I went back to Lego because of Pirates, and now there taking a "break". Wonder how long that's going to be......

Wastedgrunt36 Signed. Would it hurt them to send a few airplanes and boats across the pond?

I just set it to that!

Again, thanks for clearing that up.

It may not be a gigantic 100 gun Ship of the Line, but I like it, it can be a nice sidekick. Edit: This is your first ship! Wow. Great job. I was convinced you were a seasoned MOCer.

Thanks for clearing that up. Haha, sorry I had a blond moment. Yea I noticed that when I was making a video time-line of British soldiers a while back.

I like the castle fort the best, but the sloped one is definitely the hardest to defeat.

I am a bluecoat, but I have NO french ancestory at all, and I'm going to get my first bluecoat in the 3rd vintage mini-figure volume. So the British, the privateers, the pirates, the Mamluks, the Austrians, the Spanish, the Germans, the Russians, Malta, Italy, and the Swiss! The only people that don't hate the french that I can think of are the Polish.

This might clear some things up, its pretty basic though. 1600's- The main European nations wore fedora-like hats,(sorry, I don't know what they're called, I just have this info in the back of my head, and even searched on Google to check my brain's reliability ) and Morions, (infamously worn by conquistadors) not just the Spanish. People still wore metal helmets in this time period, and in the 1500's, (guns didn't completely dominate the battlefield, because they were still pretty unstable and, well, sucked) and they still had pike-men. 1700's- Tricorns by standard infantry and bicorns by officers. Of course certain countries might have different hats, and and certain parts of the century might be different, not to mention different jobs, special groups, and elite regiments might have different uniforms/ hats. Early 1800's- Shakos for the grunts, and bicorns for the officers. You've probably seen Napoleon with the bicorn on, or General Washington with one too. Lots of European nations had varying types of shakos, but if you want to get that specific, get decals and custom hats from the AFOL community. Mid 1800's- I don't know about the rest of Europe, and all the martial races the British had, but I know for a fact that the American cavalry units had fedoras, the infantry had kepis, and depending on rank/position, the officer can have either one of those. The martial races usually have hats according to their religion/culture(Exp. Sikhs-Turbans). ( You know what martial races are, right? ) Late 1800's- This is about when helmets came back into use, I think a white archeologist helmet would do you good for the British in the Anglo-Zulu war time frame. Note: Tricorns were also used by the civilian population during the late 1700's/ Early 1800's. Additionally, the helmet used by the British in the late 1800's would work well for a civilian, particularly an archeologist.

If you use the cylinders that narrow towards the end as opposed to the regular cylinders that come in the official sets, it will go farther because there's less wind resistance.
