[BDP] Broadside's Brawl

[TomSkippy]

Well, the BDP is back, so here's my pirate entry. I'd love to thank all those who have commented on previous posts. The suggestions and support helped make this build possible.

A couple of quick notes:

• Capstan works (the anchor raises and lowers), as does the larger ship's tiller
• Captain's cabin bed opens for storage.
• Minifigures are not included in the palate. I included them anyway in the photos for several reasons:
  • They help give scale
  • The build is very minifigure friendly, it feels fun/playable, the figures highlight that
  • The majority ordering already have crews OR know where/how to order them
  • Most importantly, one of the best parts of the build is the price: these are supposed to be cheap ships. Under 1200 parts, only 350ish unique parts (many of the "unique parts" are interior colors, released hinges, and stickered parts). This build could be $99, why make it $125 to get non-theme torsos that look terrible anyway? Everyone is tossing those as soon as it shows up.

So here are some pictures, comment and let me know what you think! Voting link is here

Ingenious little pair, they certainly capture the classic styling at a smaller scale.

I like these very much. You have my support. It is a big shame that those minifigs are discontinued.

These are brilliant - especially those brick built sails! I hope you’re successful in the BDP!!
