I fell in love with the ship the first moment. When I transformed the wreck into the ship I also liked what was left – turquoise see surrounding sandy shallows barely large enough to support a few palm trees and an improvised pirate harbor. Romantic. The ship is such a class. It is a proper historical model. All her parts are nicely shaped - stern, bow, sloped sides, dual stairways, stately figurehead, proper railing, massive rudder, well designed anchor winch. These things differentiate her from all other pirate ships so far produced, including the famous Imperial Flagship. Lego made an unprecedented ‘giant leap’ here. The color scheme further emphasizes the ship elegance. Rich yellow color used for upper parts and black and white sides with red gun port covers are my favorite. The lower deck cannot accommodate cannons unless the equipment there is removed (it is possible to do so though). All cabins are nicely and interestingly furnished – the top being the captain’s. The ship has a kitchen and apparently also a toilet. The more I look at the ship, the more I like it. This will be difficult to beat. Congratulations!
