Bluecoat officer Posted April 30, 2015 If you were a captain would you sail a lego ship already made or would you custom one (if you do, what is it like) or do you think lego should make a real historic ship (if so which one, why, and what is it like)?

Matthias Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I would like to get a new Car.Clipper. But with 2 decks, 4 cannon and it should have a more military look. I don t want real Historie ships, because I think Lego shall be free of real nation, races, religions... Edited April 30, 2015 by Matthias Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 30, 2015 I don t want real Historie ships, because I think Lego shall be free of real nation, races, religions... Says the bluecoat... the bluecoats are obviously inspired by the British Navy and definitely not the French. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew_C Posted May 1, 2015 I wish Lego would make bow and hull sections 6-8 studs wider to allow for bigger ships to be made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Thomsen Posted May 1, 2015 6-8 studs wider would be huge! I don't think I'd be able to afford a ship made to a scale that size. I'd actually prefer a set of hull parts 2-4 studs thinner. I already have one huge ship (The Imperial Flagship) at the upper end of the scale I would want a Lego ship at, two mid-sized ones and I wouldn't mind a couple of smaller ships as well. To answer the actual question of this thread, I'd go with the Imperial Flagship. It has actual decks, a kitchen (galley?), even an organ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jreacher Posted May 12, 2015 The new imperial flagship..... but if i was to go with what i own then i would choose the SES. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted May 14, 2015 The title of this topic is slightly misleading and I've been avoiding it for that reason. I've stated elsewhere that my favorite official ship is the first Imperial Flagship: she's very sleek, the decorated sails are lovely and she just looks fast and agile. But it's hard to overlook the BSB, SES, and 10210 IFS for their size, detail and larger sail plans. Anything is possible with custom hulls, but I'd like to see 24- or even 32-stud-wide prefabs - with accurate sloping at the waterline! I realize some people are happy with the 12s and "wide" 16s but some of us would gladly buy large, minifig-scale prefab hulls in wider sizes if they were available. No brick-built approach is perfect for creating the complex curves (especially the bow) but large prefabs would come close. I know I'm dreaming... so I guess I'll have to make my own!

Captain Roger Posted May 15, 2015 The best Lego ship is 2010 Imperial Flagship. No posible doubt about that point. I admit I like BSB more, but being realistic, the Imperial Flagship is better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Proud owner of 10210 imperial flagship, best ship by far due to 2nd deck, seconded by 2009 pirate ship Edited June 14, 2015 by blackdeathgr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbeards_Rum Posted May 24, 2015 Definately the imperial flagship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Volt Posted May 24, 2015 I think I'd have to pick the 10210 Inperial Flagship as far as an official LEGO set goes, as it IS my most prized set and I love all the detailing and the plethora of cannons. However, as for a REAL ship I think It would be really cool to captain a massive early-19th century Ship-of-the-line, especially a wooden giant like the Santisima Trinidad or the famous HMS Victory.
