Raziel-117 Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 I had already announced it, I am currently working on a new edition of the 6286 ship, the Skull Eye Schooner.(Even if the ship is not actually a schooner) I'm still designing it with the studio program. Here I have the first pictures: For the amidships, I used the Barracuda as a guide. Here is a comparison of the old figurehead to the new one! I am extremely satisfied with the result! Since this mast is unfortunately not available in the studio program, I had to create a dummy.^^ Now "only" the rear is missing. Actually, the ship hast 173 building steps^^ Quote
Brickander Brickumnus Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Excellent idea! And is coming around very good! I can't wait to see the final result. Do you plan you share the Studio file? Edited June 30, 2020 by Brickander Brickumnus Quote
Raziel-117 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I don't know yet whether I'll share the studio file. What I will definitely publish for everyone is the complete instruction as a PDF. I did the same with the Imperial Flagschip and the Renegate Runner too. Edited June 30, 2020 by Raziel-117 Quote
Brickander Brickumnus Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Ok. How many middle hull pieces are you using? Quote
Raziel-117 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Posted July 1, 2020 As with the original, there are 3 middle parts: Quote
chofus Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Awesome build. I will subscribe for this topic to see final creation. Quote
Raziel-117 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Posted July 6, 2020 Thank you! The rear is gradually taking shape! Quote
Raziel-117 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Posted July 8, 2020 I'm finally done! I still have to order a few parts via BrickLink. When they are still here, then I can build the Ship! Then you also get the final pictures! In the end there were exactly 500 building steps ^^ Quote
Raziel-117 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Posted July 10, 2020 I'm still missing some bricks. There are a total of 7 BrickLink orders - of which 5 have already arrived today. Hopefully the other two will come tomorrow, because then I can start building on Sunday ^^ The Skull Eyes Schooner is by far my favorite set from Lego. I also don’t remember in which year I got it. But an estimated 22-25 years ago, I would say. In order to say goodbye to this old friend (before he is reborn in the form of the reaper), I made up a little ministory. But I did not make the greatest effort. I think I would have made up a whole story earlier, 20 years ago. ^^ Something would have happened, like, the Skull Eye is in the Caribbean when the Navy suddenly appears. Panic spreads ... A battle ensues, but the pirates are outnumbered ... But then an allied ship comes to the reinforcement! And together they defeat the enemy and start a big celebration! Unfortunately, the Skull Eye didn't survive the battle! Fortunately, the Allies have a capable shipbuilder and the Reaper is bored ^^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something like that ~ I also renewed the crew! Although I have kept some figures. There are also 3 officers, with the middle one setting the tone. It's amazing how the print quality of the characters has changed in the 30 years! At the time, I didn't care that Lego had given the characters names. I knew his name was Captain Redbeard, but I never called him that. Just see his hand! It's Captain Hook! End of discussion ^^ The guy to his right was Smee. Well, if everything works out, you'll get the final pictures in the course of the next week! Quote

Raziel-117 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 The Time has come ^^ The Ship is finally finished! On my Flickr Page I have a lot more Pictures. You can find the Instruction >here< as Download! Here are a few Comparison-Pictures with the Original: Quote
jan kusters Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I thin k this looks as a great update! The comparison shots show how much you managed to improve on the original! I specialy like the new bow section with its fore castle. And the extra layer for the midships deck gives the whole ship a better line (stern less 'sticking out and up').

Fraunces Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 It looks really good! The mix is very well done. Great job! Quote
Elephant Knight Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 A wonderful update! still looks like the original, but also looks like something completely new! Well done! EKnight Quote
Raziel-117 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Posted September 2, 2020 Thank you all for the positive feedback! In the studio program, the Ship-Parts are unfortunately quite buggy. You can't align the bricks properly. I always had to create a few auxiliary constructions Quote
