Hello gents,
As I'm making progress on my Island town I am in need of a number of small ships. (smaller ships make the Island look bigger ). My latest one is actually based on an earlier model I built at Maxim's.
It seemed fun to use the small ship from the classic set Imperial Trading Post as a reference. As you may notice that is where those beautiful sails come from.
UPDATE: Building instructions at ReBrickable!
Note that helmsman has the original torso that was used in the set. Didn't they call that minifigure Steve or something?
Choosing the colours for this model was quite challenging but I'm satisfied with its current colour scheme.
Of course there should be a goat on board, how else would they be getting fresh goat milk?
The design was slightly altered for the building instructions and it does not include rigging nor sails.
But I am certain a pirate enthusiast should be able to craft those themselves.
Go check it out!
