You are right, the Wales has 58 guns. I updated the description. Thanks!

As already stated, it is extremely hard to make a selection out of these ships. Here's my vote: 6. La Mort Royale --> 1 point This ship is unique as it's the first one introducing a number of revolutionary building techniques that are now copied by so many. It is the mother of an entire fleet of ships. 3. Le Requin --> 1 point Another ship from the great Captain Green Hair (the best ship builder of all times IMHO). Great color scheme, line, stern, etc. Wonderful ship! 11. Le Sang Royale --> 1 point Using techniques from the 2 previous ships, Admiral Bejaune has made a fantastic 64 gun ship of the line. Perfect hull and perfect rigging/sails. Can a LEGO ship look better than this? 22. Guerre de Roue --> 1 point Before Captain Green Hair found his way to our forums there was the amazing Richie Dulin (Legeaux) who spoiled us with some great ships. Richie often went for less common ships (we see a lot of warships/frigates already) and this armed sidewheeler has a pretty unique design. And I even like the color scheme 23. Egregious --> 1 point A Whaling Brig . Do I need to say more? What a great looking ship! I loved this ship from the first glimpse I saw. Thanks Richie, and I hope you didn't abandon your LEGO hobby completely and return one day with some new creations. 2. RTS Zavala --> 1 point This is the masterpiece of RTN LNA (Kurt). Before Kurt made this ship he already created some nice ones, but this is really the best he ever did. I'm hoping we'll see some new work from this amazing ship builder in the future. The fact that he managed to make the deck of this ships so wide without making it look bulky is a great achievement. Also I like the working propulsion system. This is a true masterpiece! 15. Vesta --> 1 point One of the things I admire in ship builders like Admiral Croissant, Captain Blackmoor and Perfectionist are the details they put on the deck of their ships. Maybe their deck innovations (and ornaments) are as big a revolution as the techniques introduced by Captain Green Hair. I didn't consider any points for the ships that I worked on (often with Captain Green Hair) because I've been too close with those and don't have an objective view on them.

It's time to vote and decided which are the best "minifig illusion scale" sailing ships ever build with LEGO. As explained in the nomination thread, "minifig illusion scale" means a ship that's usually build on existing LEGO hull pieces (or with a brick build hull of similar size). These ships create the 'illusion' of being minifig scale, but are usually a bit smaller. More than 30 ships are nominated and you can divide a total of 7 point over them. We do put a limitation of maximum 4 points per ship. For each ship that you give points you must clearly indicate the number + name of the ship and the number of points you want to give to it. This will make our lives easy when counting all the votes. Go HERE and cast your vote now!

Granted! Yes, that's alright.

I'm getting the same error.

I like this set. The color scheme is great and the set design is quite good. Only I don't like the Technic round thingy for turning the wings being so visible. Nice review, thanks!!!

You are entitled not to like this contest entry, but there are more polite ways to communicate your opinion. Your reply strikes me as aggressive and extremely unfriendly towards TinyPiesRUs (one of the friendliest members of this community). This is not the first time you behave like this, so consider this a final warning.

Granted! This thread is not the place to asks such questions as it's purpose is to ask access to the reviewers academy. Please note that we are an adult community and using proper punctuation/capitalization is mandatory! Granted!

I haven't seen the movie, so you might be right. But judging from the pic it looks like a wig to me. A lot depends on that little thingy at the back of the 'wig' being a tail or not. If it's something else (light in the background or a part of the cage) then the wig theory might not be so solid.

Seems like we are getting the wig which we requested (see slide 4).

Seems to be the season for sales because I found today a "7573 Battle of Alamut" 28% off the regular price. So I finally own a set I wanted for some time and I'm glad I waited for the sales season to get it.

I must say that Hinckley has made a real masterpiece this time as I think the new Harry Potter banner looks amazing. We are fortunate having a highly talented graphical designer like Hinckley on-board as in my opinion our graphics are an important factor to the popularity of Eurobricks.

Thanks Admiral for all the work you invested into this! I think we are almost ready to make the official voting thread

I prefer a karaoke competition this time! And I'm not joking

Amazing work They look just like real LEGO headpieces! I even checked Bricklink to find the set they are from (couldn't believe how I could have missed this).

Impressive army and town!! Where did you get the wigs?
