dr_spock Posted October 7, 2014 Avast, everyone. Presenting my latest Friends build, the Pink Pearl. It's a galleon type sailing ship in the style of pirate theme ships. The Pink Pearl is friendly. If there are pirates around, she has 4 shooting cannons to defend herself. The Pink Pearl by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Captain Mia's cabin is cozy. She has a comfy bed, desk, treasure map, sword, pistol and a lip sticks rack. The Pink Pearl by dr_spock_888, on Flickr In preparation for their journey, our Friends-ship is docking at the Imperial Trading Post for supplies such as, meat. Hey, where's the beef going? Imperial Port by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Weigh anchor and set sail on the high seas for a friendly adventure with the Pink Pearl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Braunsfeld Posted October 8, 2014 :laugh: A someone who tries to include monkeys whereever possible I cannot really say something negative - and why should I? My sons would probably hate it What I really like is the imperial port. Is there more to see? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jody Meyer Posted October 8, 2014 sweet, great build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted October 8, 2014 Shouldn't this be in Pirates section? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 8, 2014 AWESOME 'dr_spock'........a very Freind'ly ship there eh ? Brick On with your Friend's 'dr_spock' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VintageLegoEra Posted October 8, 2014 A nice ship but i see the sails dont make sense with this frindly theme. I think if you use the one from the Imperial flagship set number 10210 then it will look Awesome. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted October 9, 2014 Uhuh! Totally digging this dr_spock. The figurehead is fantastic! Thanks. Mr. Bunny appreciates that. :laugh: A someone who tries to include monkeys whereever possible I cannot really say something negative - and why should I? My sons would probably hate it What I really like is the imperial port. Is there more to see? Thanks. Funny, my son said, "Lipsticks, really?" I tried to make it not too girly. Arrh, I forgot to put in a monkey or two. The port was part of the teambuild contest over at the Pirates section. It is now kind of parted here and there. The contest might be in their index. sweet, great build Thanks. Shouldn't this be in Pirates section? I struggled with where to put it. It is hard sometimes with cross-themes. It might be a bit too pinky for my fellow Redcoats. I guess the moderators can move it if they feel it belongs there more. AWESOME 'dr_spock'........a very Freind'ly ship there eh ? Brick On with your Friend's 'dr_spock' ! Thanks. LT. A nice ship but i see the sails dont make sense with this frindly theme. I think if you use the one from the Imperial flagship set number 10210 then it will look Awesome. Cheers Thanks. I picked up the QAR salls and boat hulls for free. Unfortunately, I don't have a Imperial flagship. Imperial flagship sails would probably work well too if the ship was built with white ship hulls from the Friends Dolphin Cruiser set. Actually that might make a nice tall ship. Somebody should try to build one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notaromantic Posted October 10, 2014 Not enough pink. There, I said it. And believe me, I'm not a Friends enthusiast. Nor a pink enthusiast. But a Pink Pearl, well, it should be pink.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted October 10, 2014 ^I agree. I expected more pink and "girly" colors. I do agree about the different sail usage, but can't beat free. I had considered building a ship from the white hull of the Dolphin Cruiser, but never got around to it. It might be a good idea to use the female pirate hat from the actual QAR ship to give the captain some true colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted October 11, 2014 Definitely needs more pink and purple! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the feedback. Lets try some more pink and purple. Is it worthwhile to tile the rest of the deck pink? Would that be pink overload? Captain cabin is now the pink room. I think I like dark brown outside and pink inside. Edited October 11, 2014 by dr_spock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted October 14, 2014 What a nice build. The look and feel of the ship is wonderful and maybe this is the push I need to leave my dank/dark world of building scary black and white trains and move back into town building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splatman Posted October 16, 2014 Try making sails for it, out of pink or purple construction paper. Tile the deck pink; see what it's like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
