I really like the brick-built hull in this set, especially the way you redesigned the bow. Now that I've recovered from my double Barracuda Bay purchase, I plan on getting three of these before they are retired. I love the brick-built hull... and something I'd love to play with is a widening of the hull as well as lengthening it, in order to accommodate cannons on both sides as you mentioned. I think the Skull's Eye Schooner (a set I didn't get as it came out at the beginning of my LEGO Dark Age right after high school) used sliding turntables to allow cannons to move smoothly from one side to the other without needing cannons placed on both sides. It's a neat idea... but quantity is better when it comes to cannons, as the Silent Mary demonstrates... that was the only LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean set I was able to get, just as I was getting back into collecting and building again at the end of 2019. I definitely regret missing out on the Black Pearl... but hopefully LEGO will re-release it when the sixth movie finally comes out. I admit I wasn't crazy about the brick-built sails when I first saw this set, and that's the main reason I didn't pick it up right away... but the more I see it, the better it looks.

Ha! You managed to slip in ‘pieces of eight’ - thanks dubz. I think adding a plank to one side of the ship would make it look less monotonous, and add interest for minifig placement. Your call x

Great build. Looks great with the custom changes you have made. Just shows that this is a theme that should come back. Would actually like to see Lego feature older themes each year and alternate them like have Pirates one year then Castle another year and then Space and so on. Think this would work well as you keep us AFOL's happy and introduce the next generation of builders to earlier themes. Cmon LEGO

I recently finished modding mine as well. I only used one set tho so i kept the original proportions. But i rebuild and redesigned alot of it based on old Dutch VOC ships. Its called The Mallard and its not really a pirate ship, more like a privateer/ bounty hunter ship

Great design choice, fits the bow design of the Lego model. Always great fun building your creation from the Lego design. I'm currently building my own castle from the latest castle 3 in 1 set.

@@DownUnderBricks fits well indeed. Old VOC ships were also brightly coloured like that. I kept the bow mostly the same. Only replaced the mermaid with a well, Mallard. Cause thats what the ship is named after. I always name all my ships after birds

Hey there I as a fellow Australian lego enthusiast am looking for your help. I am building a massive diorama/moc that is segmented so it can be a stopmotion set, and on one corner I will have my Eldorado fortress with Portuguese infantry (I couldn’t find a cool lego name) and custom brickish navy and ships. Another corner will contain a ww2 brickish infantry squad and an ameribrick tank squad. Another corner will contain a modern day ameribrick patrol base and for the fourth and final corner I want to do a medieval French or brickish fort or castle. But I don’t know if I should use three lego creator 3-1 medieval castles (not many figs but larger area and many more spare parts for outposts, ruins and modifications) or if I should get the lion knights castle and one creator three in one (many figures weapons and structures with a more realistic look). If what I am doing confuses you or you want to understand the storyline behind the diorama ask me in replies. And please let me know what I should do.
