Sauerteig Posted May 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Mencot said: Ah, I understand. That is reasonable to keep in store for the future to resell. Altough right now, at that price the Barracuda bay is at, it is a great price per part set and it may be that I will get a second copy later on just for the parts because I ordered parts from Bricklink from 3 different sellers and I don´t know but feels like that the price for parts on Bricklink has gone up since I last time bought parts a few years ago. Or am I wrong? At the very least, I am waiting to see if there is continued availability after covid19 dies down, if it ever does..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteamSewnEmpire Posted May 25, 2020 Assembling this model has made me realize something: I HATE building Lego. I like designing it; I live having it... I like showing it off. But I DESPISE building it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teos Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I finally got the rest of the tiles on Friday to finish this part of the project. I also made a simple wood base for it, so that I could move it around easier.

I feel like with so much water, though, there should be something happening out there - a whale broaching, or a few sailors clinging to wreckage, or something. Not ludicrously cluttered, or anything - just a few visual cues to balance the chaos of the model. Edited May 25, 2020 by SteamSewnEmpire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Silent Mary-style sails both in the colours and the size of the new BSB! Blowing one's own horn is absolutely appropiate when one creates such an awesome sails mod as you did. The fact that you also scaled them up in size is really great too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corweena Posted May 27, 2020 Super stoked.....been trying to find this set for weeks without crazy mark up, to no avail. Finally lucked out this morning and got one off Bricklink for just a few dollars over MSRP. Cant wait to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Becker Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) After displaying the set as whole, I decided its time to try out the rebuilded ship version, after fooling around whit it, I decided it would be fun to try out something, silly. So I ditched the middle secrion out completely and just connected the stern and the bow, and the result was so cute and adorable. It looked like comically Type of sloop of sorts. But ofcourse it wouldnt work as there isnt enough space for the deck and the stairs to the poop deck, as the capstan gets in the way. Still it would have fun to see how it would turn out whit modifications. if anyone would have LFX file to share I wouls love to have one, as I could experiment whit the model far easier that way.

Mafortune Posted June 7, 2020 Is the ship you can build from this set identical to the original barracuda? If not, how does it differ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a remastered version of the original BSB. So It has mostly the same colors and dimensions as the original but in a completely different package. Having an under deck and modern piece elements makes this set stand on it's own from the original. However, it keeps the original charm due to the colors and sails!

It's significantly better and more realistic in terms of shaping and details. It's still toy-like, but it's a lot closer to something that a pro-MOCer might produce. It's easily the best pirate ship they have ever done, hands down. ANYONE who is into Lego pirates and doesn't buy one of these is out of their gourd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicLook Posted June 26, 2020 Hi Everyone, Let me share with you my pirate vitrine! I can display the Pirates of Barracuda Bay set only this way at home: 2F0823A1-6D04-491A-BCC1-E39D2B44DEA2 by Gyula Herr, on Flickr I had to rotate the island, thus there was no place for the original azure blue plates. Therefore I've built the surrounding water with transparent blue tiles, like others did before (I always wanted to try this technic). There are three layers, so it's quite sturdy. The second layer consists only of tan and LBG plates. Other mods, specifications (mostly because of lacking space): - front mast is removed - main mast is 4 plate shorter - no flags on the top of the masts - one palm tree is removed on the right - no rock on the front-right side - custom background based on the box art - custom sails based on @Alazon's vectorized Silent Mary sails. I used my modified skull-crossbones logo for the big one - maybe it's a bit to emphatic... These are only prototypes made of paper, I'm still working on them. Thanks for stopped by.
