That is a true shame. Then again, I have not seen a single episode since Capaldi's time.

A great take on this well known vessel! Good use of space below decks. Not every model requires a full set of cannons, I too have found this option as helpful when needing to fill out more detail with different rooms. The transition from broadsides to the galleries and to the stern skull is smooth and quite dynamic. Good job on this original design!

Indeed, these parts seem worthy to experiment with. That aspect can be extended to other details on the Flying Dutchman. The amount of detail this project affords and also demands is incredible!

Good progress on her! The rack looks lovely, somehow I had never though fo such a simple solution. Recently I have been experimenting with multiple designs. One part I have found to be more accurate is the new wand piece released two years ago: However currently it be available in just two colours - reddish brown and medium nougat one pictured above. Would ye ever attemp another design for the belaying pin rack, one that has them going accurately through the rack?

Aye, but the fact that we are finally getting boater hats is astounding! I have been waiting for these a long time.

Good to see the mechanism up and running! It may not be completely accurate and the motor might be hotter than a sugarcane boiler but ye have accomplished an impressive feature most would not even bother with. I think it works good as it is, as the feature is not what defines the model itself, rather a lovely addition to showcase.

It has been some time since I last checked yer MOC progress and it seems very much impressive! The facade brick imitation detail is certainly something to admire. And lovely to see ye moving on to Hogsmeade. Good work!

Aye, those rail plates seem like a common solution indeed! Good work on her so far!

Perhaps ye may wish to consider taking some notes from option 2, in terms of maximising captain's quarters, as the room itself is a highlight in the whole vessel. However, it would be lovely to keep some idea of the original bulkhead. I do wonder, are ye going to cover the gaps in the deck that appear from hull offsets? If so, what method would ye use that'd interfere as little as possible with the tiles?

Good work on her! The stern is certainly beautiful and I like the solution for the figurehead. Good job!

It seems ye have the POTC film set version at the moment. Seeing both at the same time, the new one certainly seems more dynamic in the respective aspects, that and the colours at the stern stabd out more. Good work so far!

Aye, could be. But I imagine that children might have such perception due to consumption of Disney media. It be strange that there has not been a remake of, say, Sphinx Secret Surprise. Such a model would look wonderful.

It would seem LEGO has settled for safe profit in recent years. The Adults Welcome line has completely changed every direction they ever took, as it allows for single big models from a classic theme (speaking of which, we are yet to see an Adventurers icons set ). This is complete speculation, but I have noticed it being in line with major fusion of distinctive objects/themes into one big ball. Could be that this is just the change of times which demands something more like Marvel with its single combined universe, rather than individual themes which might seem... scattered.

Impressive mechanisms, I be eager to see how they will work in the end! The flickering lights are a lovely touch too. I take it the old version is still intact, yes?

That cannon mechanism seems quite complex, I love it! She is taking a lovely shape. As always, yer detailing is impressive! I must admire those stairs, such a simple solution and yet it never crossed me mind, it is beautiful. I must ask, will ye include some form of Liar's dice as well?
