Stoertebricker Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Hi mates! It has been some time, I only teased differend WIPs but never showed a finished one the last months... No honestly, I just had no time - but now it´s here: Davy Jones, do you fear the Black Pearl? The ship is fully motorized accompanying my "Rolling" Dutchman: Motorized Features: Rolling movement caused by waves (1. L-Motor) Motorized movement for- and backward (1. L-Motor, switched manually) Motorized steering with simoultaneously rotating ship´s wheel, rudder and steering mechanism (1.S-Motor) Motorized sail trim with turning capstan and changing sail position of all square sails (2.S-Motor) All features can be controlled by rc-control via 4 channels and two receivers The battery box can slide out easily to switch on/off and change batteries EXTRA: The lower cannons can fire a broadside automatically! General Features: Two decks with cannons (one side the lower deck is closed to store the motors) The two tripple-barreld chasers can manually slide backwards and then the gun ports can be closed Handmade sails or original Lego-Sails Two functional anchors Upper cabin minifigure size (illuminated by light-brick) The ropes between the masts can be removed easily to take them apart for transport Some videos in the flickr album, showing the different fuctions: Black-Pearl at Flickr Black-Pearl Full Broadside Firing 2 There is also a video on youtube showing the ship and its functions (german): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35WEGDM8yYE The functions are shown at e.g. 04:55 and the shooting mechanism at 07:18. I have the ship with self-made sails fitting the style of my "Rolling" Dutchman as well: I hope you enjoy it! My dream is a video reassembling the popular footage in the maelstroom, I hope I can arrange something similar in the future... Yours, Captain Störtebricker Edited March 5, 2023 by Stoertebricker Added some videos Quote
Jack Sassy Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 A jolly good version! I really like this version of the Pearl (there are so many of them nowadays). Amazing job! (Would be interesting to see someone build Black Pearl on a wider brick-built hull. I know that Babyteeth created one but I need more. ) Quote
thewatchman Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 I absolutely love this build, but as is the nature of a single colour build, a lot of the more innovative design details get lost. Stunning build regardless! Quote
NOD Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 This is a very nice ship with great additional functions. I also liked the video. Fortunately it was in German and I could understand everything. Quote

I decided to take partly the prefab hull for stability reasons. But I divided it at the front to accompany the front wheels and the back ppart is brick built do get a more curvy shape to the stern (You can see it in the last foto). 16 hours ago, thewatchman said: I absolutely love this build, but as is the nature of a single colour build, a lot of the more innovative design details get lost. Stunning build regardless! a black pearl is somehow black, true. The blue tiles scattered around give it some more reflections but yes, still black 3 hours ago, PxChris said: Very impressive!

Thanks @NOD and @ Henry from klemmbausteinlyrik, I think I would not had the time to make a video this long on my own. Quote
Stoertebricker Posted March 4, 2023 Author Posted March 4, 2023 Hi everyone, sorry for bumping up this old topic but someone wants to bould a ship with functions as well, so I dig through my harddrive and added some videos of the functions and how the mechanisms work, check out my flickr album: Black Pearl at Flickr Black-Pearl Functions Quote
