Can't wait to see new developments!

Great work so far! Congratulations! I'm following with interest.

The choice not to develop the interior in favour of full rigging is completely understandable. I myself prefer this solution. For me it is more important that the model is as faithful to reality as possible rather than being 'playable'. So I absolutely agree with this choice. Yeah right, it's illegal until Lego makes it... Like cutting hoses! 😅 It was just curiosity, I think it's an added value if the joints aren't forced. Anyway, congratulations again on the result, it's always nice to see your MOCs!

At first impact I said, 'Wow, beautiful!" Then I read the post and looked at the other photos and said: "Wooooooow, fantastic!!!". I can only congratulate you on this collaboration. The details and colours are very striking and I must say that a ship like this I would love to be able to build! One question: are all the joints 'legal'?

Thanks to all! You must do it!😉 You're the father of the flying dutchman mocs!

Thank you so much!

Wow! Thank you so much!! 💪🏻

Thank you! I don't know how many hours, on average one hour a day for 10 months...

Awesome ship! Maybe the curved stairs are a little chaotic but the rest is great! 💪🏻

Up to now I'm not planning to sell only the digital instructions. I've already had my work stolen some time ago and I don't want it to happen again. Maybe when the collaboration ends I could sell the manuals...

Thank you so much @Marooned Marin I don't want to make advertisement here, I ask the moderators to delete the comment if it's it is not welcome...

Thanks for the compliments! Glad you like it! Thank you so much! The set was produced in 12 numbered copies. I don't know who all the buyers are but I hope to hear from them soon! The box contains only original Lego bricks. There are only custom sails and ropes. A UV printed nameplate was also made on a Lego tile.

Aye pirates! Let me introduce you to my latest creation: The Flying Dutchman! Yes, I had already made one, but I was contacted a year ago by a group that makes exclusive limited edition sets that asked me to realise it. The prospect of seeing one of my creations usable by others and packaged with a customised box and printed instructions really excited me, and I jumped at it! The ship is 97 cm long by 29 cm wide and 70 cm high. It consists of about 7,200 pieces and for the occasion a seamstress was asked to create the sails using professional methods. The photos you see are of the prototype built to test everything before confirming it. Thanks for your attention, I hope you enjoy it!

Ahoy! Here you are a bizarre and grotesque ship initially made for Lego Ideas program. At last I opted to don't propose it, but however I realized a video on my YT channel where I show it in 360 degrees. This is the link and I hope you'll spend few minutes to watch it and enjoying it! https://youtu.be/GnKt0A6xp5M?si=QJEp6lQ-pZEOWpPC
