Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 13, 2019 Having started a new job in January, I have found less time to pay visits to Eurobricks. Then it took me some time to clean up my flickr account so I would not have more than 1000 pictures there. Which means, now (mid of February) is the time to present you (very late) my new ship for 2019: I fear she has not been named yet... Sails are yet to be done - on the other hand the absence of sails allows a better view of the ship This was created in a long building session together with the famous Legostone (thanks again!). That is all for the moment, thanks for viewing, and, as the pirates say, ARRR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koalayummies Posted February 13, 2019 Oh wow that is gorgeous. I never would have considered that blue but you have made it work so beautifully. The brick yellow works great for the masts too. Such a wonderful smaller ship, can't wait to see it with the sails! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leafan Posted February 13, 2019 Lovely mate. Very nice colour composition and shape. If it were an official set, it would be mine; no question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems they don't care much for those old classic themes much these days, and a second-hand Pirate ship costs an arm and a leg these days. There are some good ships though, such as the Ninjago Movie set 70618 Destiny's Bounty: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iammac Posted February 15, 2019 So.... are you looking for any names? Because I think the Claudia suits her well. MAC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted February 15, 2019 Captain, I really like this ship! Great shape, lovely color scheme, nice stern gallery, and good crew posing! I'm already working on how I can copy some of the features on my next ship. Well done! Will we get to see her sail the Brick Seas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ninjago has come and gives us some Eastern/Pirate/Steampunk... etc stuff. And the series has a high quality standard. 15 hours ago, iammac said: So.... are you looking for any names?

At least, I remember seeing a red rudder on a Duplo boat from back in the eighties. The ship, she's a real beauty. And I'm insanely jealous at your white hull parts. ;) Edited February 16, 2019 by GeoBrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have mistaken Fabuland for Duplo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted February 27, 2019 Lovely vessel and lovely color scheme. All those different blues are beautiful on the white hull (hey, blue is my favorite color). The standard rigging parts work nicely with this design and the stern is very pretty. Oh, and naturally there's a monkey climbing the shrouds with a pistol. Keep it up.

Faladrin Posted March 3, 2019 I didn't had time to comment on your ship until now ! Sorry That's an excellent shape for a ship this size and the colour choice is top notch ! I like this light blue ! Great idea to use it for the cabin ! The captain cabin seem very well and I would like to have seen an interior, but well, not sure you've got one in this ship. I like the way you made the masts too. The bowsprit is really nice in this position ! Great job ! An excellent ship ! Great job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
