    this ship is modular! So I can (quite) easily split hull up for the 3 parts (front, middle, back) and also remove each side to get more opportunity to play with!

    Its interesting, how this beauty reminds me my own creation in some technic decisions! 
    Do you like this new one?

    The custom sails look amazing. I would love to know what kind of fabric you used for them

    Thank you! The sails are made from linen! Suitable material, I will definitely demonstrate them closer. Stay tuned

    Photos are a bit "dark".  I'd love it if you could upload some more "sunny" photos.

    Ahoy Eurobricks!
    Let me introduce this build, based on classic 6285 set - the one and only "Black Seas Barracuda"

    Inspiration
    I took 4 mid  sections, and add mast. no less or more. For this setup the hull has no need to be widened to look right in my opinion. Also, I don't like much general view of the well known builders technique, which I call "minecraft style", so I tried to make as much as possible lower profile, (frigate silhouette) of the 18th-19th Century with flat decks to avoid stairs of pieces and so on. The next step I realized that can't put as much detail into it in that scale as I wanted first so I decided to make this ship look more simple, classic without crazy rigging or something. Just similar to official Lego old but gold ships sets and between realism. 

    Build
    It’s build to transport as strong as possible and at the same time this ship is modular! So I can (quite) easily split hull up for the 3 parts (front, middle, back) and also remove each side to get more opportunity to play with! And yes! All known Lego original play features are on board. A place to store chest, cannonballs and cargo, lift crane, a capstan to raising and lowering an anchor with my own design, access to gun deck and firepower and captain cabin with full interior, working compass and of course working ship wheel which turns the rudder (similar to 6286 set). Also added customs sails total of nine.

    Absolutely love the technic (of my own? Please correct) that I used for the front. There is often a tons of slopes I saw on other ships builds. The back (under the cabin) has also some replace technic for the slopes which I never saw before. (pls correct). The middle uses simply slopes technic to get the right angle, and mount, which I designed. Seems nothing to add here

    Hope you enjoy! Let me know in the comments !
