I upgraded the sails, look way better now:

Yeah it is packed. But the biggest surprise for me was he plays the Trade Ship most right now. He loves when he can move around and stuff. I would like to change it let me see if he let me do that

I forgot, a picture of the cabin:

Update August 20th Caribbean Clipper 2019 and Bigger Caribbean Clipper 1989 As for my son's wish we had to change the Caribbean Clipper 2019 because we needed the sails for the Caribbean Clipper 1989, just to make it bigger. He badly wanted to have the blue coats also at least one bigger ship. So here it is, Gouvernor Broadside's Caribbean Clipper 1989 in big, strictly to the plan from the OriginalOne, and the New 2019 for the French Admiral: The Caribbean Clipper has been my very first lego ship when I was 8 years old back in 1989. So it had to stay the same even with one mast and one cannon added. So the old rivals Roger and Broadside can meet again, this time played by my son... 30 years later :-)

Renegade Caravel 2019 Update August 21st 2019: My inspiration: The Ship with the new parts I bought, well some update will follow just to the mast as this parts did not arrive yet. As maybe some of you have recognized... this is Breathren of the Brick Seas HMS Annettania... different sails different crew. I build it as close as I could with the parts matching Christoph Columbus' Santa Maria. As you can see I tried the same shape of the ship, the same stairs in the same side and with details as much as I could. This is still my Renegade Runner 1989 to Renegade Caravel 2019 MOC. Just used it as my characters ship in BotBS

Great one. As the most realistic pirate ship lego released, pirates never had big ones with big cannons on board, it was also very easy to play with. Solid build and as I had this one instead if the schooner it was them pirates fighting the red coats Sea Lion in the second wave for me. It's funny as I build also a new one because of my son's wish

My son's biggest wish was a small trade ship for the pirates to hunt. So here it is, orientated on the trade ship from 1992 within the Imperial Trading Port.

I will do that there thx

Coming soon in the Moc Forum, Renegade Runner 2.0, Civil Trading Ship, Carribean Clipper 2.0

...I will do that project with the renegade runner probably today or these days. But I just have the sails of the Redbeards runner as bought in eBay because I don't have the old sail just the front one left. I mean it has been in the basement if my nephews in Poland for more than 20 years. I will try it with the different sails, had to change some small parts in my Carribean Clipper too and have 2x new sails that's why I could still rebuild that one: As you can see, the yellow front plate is slightly different. Couldn't find the original one. P.S. I have added a lego compass to the clipper. Even if I had to destroy my beautiful moc for that and left out some middle hull parts for the small clipper, it not only rebuild one of the most beautiful lego ships, it also opened up the way for the other moc. But like I said it will be the renegade runner again leaving out another mode hull part.

Here are some pictures of the Blue coat moc: The red coat fleet, but like I mentioned the Barracuda is back at it's old self, Captain Roger'spirate ship...

Hello. It's been a while. My son, almost 6 is playing regularly and I had to destroy my pirate mocfor rebuilding my old Carribean Clipper. And to answer the question I have the 2010 flagship it's my and my son's favourite. Here are the list of the ships we have, by age: 1. Carribean Clipper 2. Black Seas Barracuda 3. Imperial Flagship 1992 4. - Renegade Runner - but with extra hull parts build as a new blue coat ship something between the 92 Flagship and the Carribean Clipper. The mini figs are the blue coats of 2015. 5. Brickbeard's Bounty - back as a pirate ship for Captain Brick Beard. 6. Imperial Flagship 2010 7. The Brick Bounty serving as redcoat ship with the 2009/10 redcoats. Future plans changed as my son doesn't want me to build another big ship, he wants to have smaller, playable ships. For him even the size of the Barracuda is way too big to play proper as a child that age. His wishlist is to rebuild the most realistic pirate ship, the renegade runner, and the Armada Flagship. He likes the way Lego made the Spanish soldiers and he loves that many colours on the ship. But most he likes the playable size...

Made a new pic of the BSB where you can see the sails closer. I bought them online and they pretty look like the one he is doing here. They are very nice quality

My son wanted the red sails badly so we changed it again. Not the ship itself just the front and masts / sails. That's the end product of my son's improvements to the ship: The inside area wasn't changed at all: Compared to the other sails... I made a good ship but my son made it look excellent. ?

They look great and I think all my new aquired sails like the Carribean clipper 2x for my BSB (Blue Coat) and my Pirate Moc are exactly that kind of sails. The burn marks on the sides are really barely to see when you play or display them on the ships. The colours are even better brighter deeper than in the original ones, see my blue coat BSB here:

The British Red Coats look really like Lego Figures as real humans.

Thanks a lot. I am receiving a lot of compliments on that stern I build. I used my old hull ends from the carribean clipper for that ship and hat the idea of the windows because of all that ships I watched at the battle of Trafalgar. I have another idea to modify it, will try that out in my blue coat ship project for January. They all have to be playable, because my son love the ships and sometimes we play 8 hours nonstop at the weekend when we are at my flat in North Berlin. When we are in the other flat, were we are 90% of the time, there he have his second love: lego train. He got his first couple of days ago at his 5th birthday, he loves that more than ships. But I haven't the same passion as I never owned trains in Lego. But I play the same time with him doesn't matter what and how. But my love stays with the Pirates theme. His too as we wanted to have something like a pirate gold rush at his birthday. A treasure with golf coins (chocolate inside) was made for him. So we will definitely be back there making ships. Will try to take some design elements from admirals eagle and add my own ones and the idea to variate that stern I made for the pirates. It won't be big like the 2010 Flagship as he have trouble to play it because of his age and the size of the ship. His favourite size are the bounties that's why the pirates received the same size. And I also think the next blue coat will get this handable size for him. Long term I really want to make another big Flagship for the Blue Coats, as the BSB is their Flagship since 1989 already - receiving new sails and crew recently. Another long term project would be a base for the red coats. But that comes way after the ships.

That's exactly what I will do next thanks. Use my parts that I still have left buy new parts that I can build a second blue coat ship beside my BSB. It will take a while because I don't have really enough time before new years, but I like the idea of mixing design elements from one of the most beautiful ships I have ever seen, the Admirals Eagle. Thanks!

It depends what you like. I would not givea cent to one of the most unrealistic and ugliest ships ever made what are the Skulls Eye Schooner and Red Beards Runner; along with the Crossbone Clipper topping the ugly scale of him realistic colour schemes and very ugly design elements I would never take a second and always would go for one of the most beautiful ships ever, the Black Seas Barracuda. That's my point and my opinion. If you can grab more money the Big Imperial Flagship is the best one you can buy but also the most expensive one. I know a lo of lego fans like that SES so it depends on what you like. But don't worry you will always find both at eBay

Looks pretty realistic and playable aswell. Like that one really much. It's a shame that the Spanish Armada end up as only faction without any kind of a real base, as they just had a single soldier on a one man mini building. The red coats had the Imperial Trading Post and the Blue Coats had Eldorado Fortress. The Islanders had a big base as had the pirates twice as the only faction to achieve that feat in Lego Pirates todate. And the Armada? As the only set a sad little man on a 1yard island. What a shame! Would like to see more of that builds like yours. Great job ;-)

Wow I love it just the way it is. I think of updating my Imperial Flagship too, the original one like yours. And this is a real cool work that inspires myself. Thank you for sharing this here. Appreciate your work. I like the white details paired with black and red instead of blue, I did that already on my one replacing all blue with red and the two blue lights with black ones (swiped them with the BSB which is my blue coat flagship. Love the way you designed the back in white and the entrance. Angled like the back of other ships. You came up with a real new idea and build it great. Only thing I don't like is the door, I would use a different one as I don't like that "farm" looking doors on ships, like the SES have that too. But that's just my opinion and should not take any point off from the perfectly nice designed project ;-)

Impressive! Just what a big Imperial power deserves. Love that kind of love for the detail and history paired together, and you did it brilliantly here. Can't wait to see more pictures of what this project took you to

Love this one. Looks pretty realistic with nice details. Great display of a ship part

You named it Napoleaonic Era 1798 to 1815. Here are British uniforms by late 1690 and through the whole time 1720 while the golden era of pirates where lego put the theme timed in. long before the Danish copied it and other nations too by the way. They even look more similar to the lego ones than the Danish. The Danish from that era look way different...

So it's official the the red coats represent the British by Lego itself with that sets like London Escape, but here is the fact that also the blue coats are British by Lego itself: The comic, released with the first wave 1989 with two mini figures. It's not only the name of the gouvernour, Broadside, but it's the place. He is the gouvernour of Port Royal, Jamaica, a then world wide known harbour for pirates tolerated by the British/English and ruled by England (from 1707 as Great Britain) as Jamaica was a British Colony until 1962. So Lego just made British and later Spanish (Armada/Conquistadores) factions. But as I like to play them as different nations I like them as French, it's funny that many use the tricolore for the French ships. The era lego refers itself for the pirates is 1690 to 1720, the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean. The French lost all their Norhern American colonies to Britian in the 7 year war later, the French still had the white flag with the golden fleur de lis on it. The tricolore was not the French flag until the revolution. And for those who think fleur de lis is just French: The English royal insignia are with fleur de lis too as it was a royal symbol not just a French one. ;-)
