    Hello, would like to present one simple and classic design. I 'm pretty sure you are all well familiar with the Caribbean Clipper (set no. 6274). And while my dream ship was the Black Seas Barracuda, I always yearned for the blue sails of the imperial soldiers. Even though I never had the set, I always found it to be lacking compared to the big pirate ships. So once I had my hands on the complete BSB, I also got myself a 70ish percent complete set of the BSB that I used to modify and enlarge the complete one. What I was left with was enough pieces to build my own redention of the Caribbean Clipper. Where I found it lacking was not in the style itself, but I found it to be too short in lenght, and lacking a second full mast. And for the past years I 've been building it slowly with extra parts I was left with from other creations. It's nothing that special, it's quite simple actually, but I hope I managed to catch that "Classic pirates" vibe I really love :) Brig - Two Masts - Two Square Sails on the Main 21C And ofcourse the bow and stern I hope you'll like it guys

    Wanted to make a bit of an abstract figurehead. For some reason I don't enjoy the minifigures as figureheads that much Regretfuly the blue anchor was the only one I had left. Would've loved it if I had another black one :)

    Just missing the crew to make it perfect :)
  6. PeroTheLegoman
    Great, cause I love the idea :)
  7. PeroTheLegoman
    Did this project stop or is there still chance this might be presented to Lego?
  8. PeroTheLegoman
    Quite beautiful :)

    Yep thoes ships with tumblehome are quite beautiful but there are a couple of issues. Primarily they dont look that classic and secondly I'm constrained with the dimensions of my showcase, and would want it to look just right, and this way it's at the max size possible right now. @staslegomaster The red one is the 1992 6271, (6285 is from 1989) and the blue is MOC @cousarmy0001 thank you. The ship from your signature is a beaut aswell :) Thank you everyone

    Thank you guys! Btw, I 've added a couple of other pictures.. dunno, but it looks prettier in "flesh" then on the photos. Am not that good of a photographer, plus it's all captured by my cellular.

    Hello again everybody, while I might risk sounding a bit like a spoiled brat, I 'll still tell you the "story" of my first "pirate theme" ship. Remember drooling over those 1989, 1990 and 1991 lego catalouges with the great Black Seas Barracuda (6285) and while the Skull's Eye Schooner (6286) was a far more elaborate ship, thoes red sails got imprinted in my retina. The BSB was simply my dream ship, and I asked my parents if they ever get the chance to get me that "red sail ship" and they got me the "red sail ship", only it wasn't BSB it was the Imperial Flagship (6271). That was my childhoods first and only lego pirate theme ship. I really liked that ship after I got used to the fact that it is not the actual red sail ship, but I still remember the initial disappointment that it wasn't the BSB. You can notice the size difference on this photo between 6271 and the modded 6285: A year ago I got the BSB and really loved it, but felt it was a bit small now that I've grown, so I modded it into a bit longer three masted ship. And with BSB around I felt the Imperial flagship was kinda outgunned in every possible way, and didn't feel that, even thoe it looks faster, the ships commander would ever sail into an engagment facing a ship as big as BSB. So I decided to make my own version. Btw, I always preferd the blue coats over the red coats. So ladies and pirates this is it: Brig - Two Masts - One Square Sail on the Main 6C Just kidding :D This was something I built during my dark age, one night I was back at my folks home going trought lego boxes. My first idea was to try and see if it looked any better in blue coats colours and I'll let you be the judge of that: And then I started planing for the total rehull. Orderd another hull mid section and parts for another mast and a few windows, and this is what I came up with (ofcourse used my lego stash aswell), a blue coats version of imperial flagship named "Impérial": It actually isn't fair to compare it to my moded version of BSB since I made it quite bigger, but still think that the commander of "Impérial" could face the BSB with a fighting chance on the high seas: The ships bow with the figurehead: And the stern: Hope you like the new blue coats flagship!

    That actually bothered me. And am planning to move the higher gun somewhere where it will have a clear shot :)
  13. PeroTheLegoman
    Thank you guys. Currently working on upgrading the imperial flagship 6271, so I'll post the progress. @chofus pozz :)
  14. PeroTheLegoman
    Actually there is nothing on the inside except gangways. Was and still am planing on making one side openable and making a throne room, but won't be doing that soon

    Thank you guys :)

    Hello everyone, about a year ago I finally got my hands on my favourite childhoods castle, the King's Mountain Fortress (set no. 6081). If I remember correctly it was the 1990 Lego catalouge, and I remember drooling over it and trying to rebuild my sister's Rock Island Refuge 6273 into it. That ugly raised plate actually made the castle look that much more fun in my childs eyes than other castles that were available at the time. So as I was saying about a year ago I begoten the set 6081, the King's Mountain Fortress but in the same time I got my hands on a great deal for the Black Falcons castle the 6074 set. After all those childhood's hours and days daydreaming of it and finally building it, I was actually a bit dissapointed with it. The Black Falcon's castle was far prettier to me now. So decided to uncostruct both and try to make my vision of the classic King's mountain fortress. All the parts used are those two sets and the big ugly raised plate (added the iron railing gates and some minor pieces later), plus I partially used for inspiration one poster I admired when I was a kid.. a huge scene of "what you can do with castle lego", so this is what it turned into. Nothing special, just a classic rework of a classic lego castle. (btw, I really hate the raised plate, but it's good for something when you don't have enough legos to build the "mountain" yourself) That's it folks :)

    Hey Robert, really nice to see you here :) Thank you, but most of my collection was acquired not so long ago really.
  18. PeroTheLegoman
    It's a whole shelf 2meters x 0.5meters in dimension that I've placed my pirate sets on. So I 've calculated that I would need around 2,500 translucente round plates per 32x32 baseplate area of the sea. So in total it turned out to be somewhere around 20,000. Some parts are quite thick (2 bricks tall), and some are really thin.

    Thank you people. Well have been a quiet observer and a fan of the eurobricks for about a year, so I had some visual expirience but am really a newbie in actually building all of this. Am still working on the caribbean clipper and also am planning on modifying the 6271 imperial flagship I've got in my collection.

    Hello everybody, I 'll try to present myself as a classic lego sets fan by using this not that hugely modified El Dorado classic pirates set. The goal was to keep much of the charm of the classic sets and creating the atmosphere of those old style lego catalouges. Hope you 'll like it guys :) This is it, a small port town with its pier, tavern, fort, small mansion and a beach with gold digging pirates: A few close-ups And another shot with my redention of the anchored Caribbean Clipper in the forefront Please do give me suggestions and comments since I'm new at this!
  21. PeroTheLegoman
    How did u do the shakos and the bearskins? They are simply beautiful!
  22. PeroTheLegoman
    Yep, I love the classic sets and designes. My first love period with lego was end of the '80s and beginning of the '90s. Haha, well my name is a myst... j/k it's Hrvoje and if you aren't a slav chances are you won't pronounce it right :)
  23. PeroTheLegoman
    Not my real name since it would be too hard to prounounce it. Have been a fan of lego my whole life, but I just came out of my dark age a year ago. Also post my lego creations on instagram under the same name. Been a fan of this forum for quite some time, so I decided to join up. My favourites are classic castle and pirate lego themes. Hope I'll give my countribution to the community. Cheers!
