Fantastic build, I love it! You got my support.

As a fellow ship lover, you got my support for both ships. They both have great curves, the right amount of seriousness and plenty of playability packed inside. Best of luck!

I'm interested to see that, but I'm not able to find that topic on Eurobricks, perhaps you could share the link? @The Undo @GeoBrick Thank you both for compliments, and yes I agree, the central staircase turned out really good. Thank you @Pirate_King_1982 , I'm indeed proud and have mixed emotions which one I prefer better of the two. You know, now several people, including you, suggested Queen Anne’s Revenge. I never paid much attention to that ship, never had one, but now I will look into it deeply and consider it a possible future project. Regarding your question, I avoided real firing cannons because they are bulkier and longer, and mounting them would require a redesign of the gun deck floor. It could be done, but at the price of sacrificing more space in an already cramped deck. ------- Here I made s a short video of the interior and possible playability.

Indeed, we do not. I was really under impression that he made instructions, now I see I was mistaken. I will consider your suggestion and add the beloved ship on my project list. I never owned BSB as a kid, but I did get Caribbean Clipper instead, I still have it dismantled. Currently I'm in the early phase of designing quite another ship. This will probably take several months which will give me enough time to play around with ideas fo CC. Thank you, I'm honoured You spy correct. Yes, to implement all interior and larger fire power (more cannons) I decided to make it longer and more formidable which led to addition of another mast, the mizzen mast. I'm glad you like it, and thank you for your feedback. No, you were right, some galleons did have suggested arrangement of the sails. I used this because it worked well on my previous design (The Pearl), so I never gave it much thought. At the present I will retain the sails as they are, but on my next ship I will probably go with only one big triangular mizzen sail as you suggested.

Great use of the old-masts! Seeing them I get overflowed with nostalgia. Add some life inside the cabin, a map, compass, bottle of rum.

Enormous amount of fine little details can be found in every part of the ship. Those I like the most about this upgrade. Well done!

Simply cute and adorable build!

Thank me? Nay, thank you! I'm deeply touched by your kind words and will aspire to maintain and improve my building skills in the future. When I think about it, it seems to me that has been already covered by Babyteeth HERE Thank yee Captain, thank yee! I learned much from studying your galleons and I'm happy now it turned out so well. Thank yee! Thank you kind Sir! Thank your for feedback! I see your point and will try that and see how it feels.

THE LEGEND IS BACK! In the early 2020., while traversing the Brick Seas, Black Seas Barracuda was hit by a tempest and broken to pieces on the sharp razor rocks of the Barracuda Bay. Then, using all of their wits and everything at their disposal, it took nearly four years for Redbeard’s crew to rebuild the infamous ship. When finished, Captain and the crew were so amazed by the fruit of their labour that they unanimously voted for the ship to be renamed simply Barracuda. Now the legend is back, the flag is hoisted and the course is set for the new El Dorado fortress where the treasure awaits the return of the Classic-Pirates. DESCRIPTION Barracuda is a three-masted galleon, easily recognised by a set of distinctive red and white striped sails. Specially built for pillage and plunder, she is fast and nimble, even when overloaded with stolen cargo. Equipped with 18 deadly cannons, a well trained gun-crew and one cunning captain, she is a dread to all who dare to traverse the Brick Seas. To maximise playability and allow easy access to the ship interior, this up-to-date remake features a removable quarter-deck, fully furnished captain’s cabin, spacious crew quarter, kitchen with a rat, and one deadly gun deck. WHY BARRACUDA? Barracuda is based on the LEGO 6285 Black Seas Barracuda, arguably the most beloved LEGO ship ever made which I never had a pleasure to own. When earlier this year TLG announced the Re-Make of Eldorardo fortress, I knew what my next project will be, a ship which will supplement the fortress and give my tribute back to the Classic-Pirates theme. BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE Instructions are available on Rebrickable. As always, there is a 25% discount code for all Classic-Pirates fans: CP25 LINK to Rebrickable SAILS by TIM BEGOVIC Sails were made by Tim Begovic, also known as @custombrickstim . I have only a highest praise for Tim’s work and quality of the sails. I should point out that sails are not stiff and sturdy, but this can be easily fixed with the use of some hair lacquer. I used Schwarzkopf hair lacquer, applied it on both sides and left it to dry on a curved surface. Thirty minutes later, the sails were dry and stiff in a desired puffy shape, and the smell now is quite nice. Get in touch with Tim via email: tim@begovic.co, or via Instagram account: @custombrickstim where you can see some of his skilfully crafted magic. The price for the Barracuda set of sails is: €62 (shipping costs included). NOT FINISHED YET Still here? Great! Let’s end with a quick build animation where you can clearly see all the ship's curves and lines, after which I invite you to give me your two pieces of eight what do you think about this Re-make.

Captain Braunsfeld has built this fortress which was inspired by a MOC he saw on a brick-event. Set sail inside the LEGO Pirates Forum.and find more pictures of this eye catching build!

Always nice to see your work, even if it's somewhat older build. I already told you how I admire the clever technique you employed on the stern. Add more images inside the first post, only one cannot capture all the brilliance of this vessel.

Looks good! Does it come with interior, and is the back side open to allow easy access or you made the tower modular?

Very beautiful ship with nice curves and lines, and with many beautiful details. Hope you'll be able to rebuild it as it was before disaster.

Amazing work! Really well done
