I still need to take the pictures from my camera.....

Sure was great to meet you and the ship looked even better in the flesh!
Did you manage to do any more work on her in the meantime?

Why do you need TLC to make sets for you, all you really need is parts...be creative!

No but I will in the vacation, first booms and sails and then I'll see if I can find a good bricklink shop to complete the port side :pir-classic:

My Cuusoo project drew attention of a rather influent youtube lego reviewer (has over 12000 subscribers) :pir-oh:

I'm not really into youtube, I use it purely as a tool to upload video's. This person however, BrickQueen has quite the influence, my cuusoo project gained over 100 supporters in one day .
I might get an official LEGO comment when it reaches 1000 supporters. I do not think my little ship will ever make a real set but I'm very interested in what LEGO has to say about it themselves, maybe some explination why there was no official Flying Dutchman in the first place ?

Feel free to support my Flying Dutchman at Cuusoo... if you're in a good mood :shark:

I think there is some kind of deadline, it's not published anywhere though, but there used to be an official comment for 500+ supporters already, now 1000+ are needed so I suppose if it takes long it might raise to more supporters :pir-sceptic:

Nice review she did there Sebeus! I had never heard of Brick Queen before but she has some good stuff on youtube. Any publicity seems to help with CUUSOO projects so I hope this helps you get up there. Good luck!

This is a FANTASTIC ship! It's the best Lego Flying Dutchman I've ever seen, hands down. POTC ended much too soon, and I'd be thrilled to see this released. I'd buy it in a heartbeat! I hope your project does well. Best of luck!

Having only just watched all 4 POTC films in one sitting at home, its such a same Lego has not made this ship yet. Your ship is stuning, and I'd buy it in a heart beat. Amazing ship with all the stuning details in the film, just showed it to a friend and at first he thought it was a picture of the real thing. I've got a few questions. 1. Do you have the offical Dutchman crew? 2. If you do/don't, do you plan on adding them/buying them? Good luck on reaching 10'000, and what ever you do, don't drop it! :thumbup:

Have you ever wondered what it looks like when 100 minifigures are aboard one ship ?

Yep, that's right, 100 minifigures are occupying the weather deck, I had to place a few in the waist (which is luckely kind of an exterior deck). This got me thinking, in the movie Davy Jones wanted 100 souls from Jack, I really wonder how that would look :pir_laugh2:

Anyway, the occasion for this picture is the fact that the Cuusoo Project reached 1000 supporters yesterday :pir-sweet:

Thanks, sorry for the late response, I don't have the official Dutchman crew, it's strange but I didn't even ever come across a Black Pearl while I went to different ~~ships~~ shops :pir-grin:

Today was terrifying, I had placed the ship in the living room and then I went away with some friends, then I realized my ship was very vulnerable and the case of Captain Blackmoor and Admiral Croissant's ships came to mind.
Furtunatly nothing happened :monkey:

So, can you find Jack Sparrow ? or the squid alien ?

How difficult is this to make and how much wold it cost as a set? If Lego pieces are averaging 1.65 cents a piece I can imagine it being quite the price tag mate. Good luck with Cuusoo!
