Barney, if you're looking for authentic stuff bear in mind that most of the repros readily available are too late for GAoP.

There is (or was) a company that made rather attractive astrolabes and nocturnals, but I'm jiggered if I can find them on the web...

Captain Cutlass did send me a link for an astrolabe but I think it was a genuine one and quite expensive. Hold on I'll just go check................

...............Hmmm, now I can't find the e-mail. Must have deleted it by mistake.

Tradition Acording To My Brother Scrounger Dictates its my Round

Cheers for that, the prices are pretty good on there. :angry:

Hi all,

I'm looking for period navigation equipment but cannot afford antiques so am looking for a place that does decent but sensibly priced replicas, preferably in the UK. If anyone knows of websites/companies/traders that do any such stuff I'd be pretyy well grateful.

Very nice but way out of my price range unfortunately. :angry:

*sigh* yew mates ave all th fun!

Great pics under th Jolly Roger! :angry:

We do indeed, we do indeed. :)

Any news on a release date for the UK?

I did order it though.

Except I forgot to complete the order. :angry:

Then I found out it had dropped another £6 to £8.45 the next time I checked in. Result! I used the money saved to order Star Wars: The Phantom Menace at the same time.

Well seeing as I only be havin' the one bandana - the rest of me pluner bein' spent on grog an' all - I would have to be sayin' that it's me favourite one. :angry:

I Hear We May Do More Here

I be hoping so matey.

T'was true we be havin' a whale of a time on our last voyage to Stockton. :)

As most everyone here knows, I am an unabashed Star Wars fan (e.g., "nut"). Since Blackjohn was kind enough to start a thread for the Star Trek 40th Anniversary, I thought I would start one for Star Wars's 30th Birthday.

Ye gads, that means I was 9 when it came out.

So what are your Star Wars memories?

Being blown away by such a visionary science fiction film was mine when I saw the first film in the cinema. Such a step up in quality from what you'd been getting most of the time until then. Been hooked on Star Wars ever since. I do have to confess, though, that my favourite science fiction film ever was Bladerunner.

Barney, you've clearly been photoshopping these pictures... Look! That damn joke gun you gave me even looks like it's firing!

Ed I wouldn't even now how to Photoshop a picture. Personally I reckon it was operator problems!

Good To See Royal Navy Or Are You Pirates In Sheeps Clothing

No, you are correct in that the Royal Navy put in an appearance. They did get soundly beaten by the pirates though!
