El Bucanero 3188 posts Posted April 4, 2008 That's a true masterpiece!! What a patient that guy must have. Great design. Very creative. We must have him here! What does strike me though, is how low the oars are. I'd expect that particular part to be under the waterline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faramir 461 posts Posted April 4, 2008 Wow, nice! At least someone found a use for those skele horses... *sweet* Would look better with skeletons (instead of regular pirates) in my opinion, but sweet design and size, anyway. --Faramir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes 25124 posts Posted April 6, 2008 Here's an innovative way to "smuggle" a Castle Skeleton Horse into the Pirate theme. Hmmmm.... Now that gives me an idea for the "A Pirate's Life" competition... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plural 439 posts Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Now I ain't no pirate expert, but that's one damn fine looking ship there. I love the way the skeletons and horses are incorporated into ship. It's brilliant. Edited April 12, 2008 by Plural Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent Cheung 18 posts Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) And it's a maybe. He's a member of the upcoming Hong Kong Lug, but said that he may be around in due time... Hi all, I am Fvin, the designer of this skeleton pirate ship. I am so happy to note the discussions of my creation in this prestigious AFOL forum. Thanks so much for the notification & invitation from SlyOwl too! The ship was designed for a gathering of Lego Fans in HongKong, April 2008. As there are some members of less than 10 years old, I cannot say it is an AFOL gathering at all. =P The ship took me almost 30 hours to build, 2 weeks to complete. It was my desire to use Skeleton Warriors as sailors or replacing the sailors' head with skulls. But finally I chose to use normal sailors for this ship so as not to make this ship too horrible to some young members. This is the first time I build a pirate ship. I think there are still many places to improve. Please feel free to comment and suggest anywhere to improve. Thank you!! Just one question to all of you. Could anybody figure out the meaning of the sign on the canvas sail? ;-) Regards, Vincent Edited April 15, 2008 by Vincent Cheung Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlyOwl 2322 posts Posted April 15, 2008 Great to have you aboard! Just one question to all of you. Could anybody figure out the meaning of the sign on the canvas sail? ;-) It's mind-boggling! I can't work it out, no matter how much I tried! It looks pretty cool upside-down, with the E looking like a person Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair 5485 posts Posted July 31, 2008 Woa i missed this one, but thanks to our great newsletter i am looking at it now! Very creative, nice colorscheme and i actually like the life crew. They could be really dark, evil guys that had no money for wood and butchered a vilage just to make a new ship Welcome to EB Vincent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
