  1. A subtle, but worthwhile upgrade, are you planning to add cloth sails, or keep the brick-build furled versions?
  2. I agree, these musings are interesting to read, seeing how all the details get worked out.
  3. Love all the subtle details here, looks great.
  4. The price is lower than I expected, being comparable to the Pearl, but a much more attractive model. Eager to build this and add it to the fleet.
  5. Shame it isn't available on pick a brick, it'd be a great rifleman torso.
  6. Thank you for the summary, that sounds pretty straight forward. The brown gives it a nice weathered feel, similar to the sails in the flagship.
  7. Perfect little pirate ship there, scales much better with the port building than the larger official sets would. I like the texture you've achieved with the sails, how'd you achieve that?
  8. The hull looks good and ship-shape now, having struggled to move large single part models to shows, I agree modularity is the way to go. The new door is lovely and compact, the sunken hinges are a great detail. Finally, I love the little sketch you've done to plan out the build, makes it look like such a normal ship without all the sea life and craggy pieces.
  9. That is a tantalising theory, the little merchant ship is perhaps my favourite piece from any Pirate set, so an entire wave of similar style would surely be a sight to behold.
  10. That's awesome, the purple window really works nicely to contrast with the natural tones of the rest of the build. The new(?) clam piece is perfect for the back of the organ. Would be a shame to bury that all inside where you can't see it so well, definitely worth showing it off before that point.
  11. Great looking faction there, and suitably orange! Are you going to make a home port for this ship?
  12. Nice to see a comparison between old and new, I like all the extra crew you've made. If you wanted to bulk out the crew further, you could add some East India Trading Company troops, who could be more uniform. The stary windows are a great look, not sure if they suit the Dutchman, but they are very pretty.
  13. That's off to a superb start, looks even better in the bricks than the digital renders. I tend to focus on the external appearance of a model when building on Studio, structure is easier to do with real bricks.
  14. Other than the old glory days, pirates have always been an intermittent theme unfortunately.
