(MOC) Black Pearl

Hello,

My name is Stephan, come from the Netherlands and I am the typical ‘coming out of the dark age’ AFOL. When I was young I always played a lot with these wonderful bricks. A while ago at the age of 25 I just saw that big box with lego again and just wanted to build something. And I began to look at all these nice sets that came out the last 10 years. When I saw the Black Pearl I had to buy it. Once I build it I found the ship a little tiny in comparison to the grand ship in the movies. So I decided to go to Bricklink, made some orders and began to build my own version of it. Hope you guys like it.

Fantastic! It's instantly recognisable, FAR better than the TLC one! I love the deck! This is a great introduction MOC, welcome to Eurobricks.

Obviously much better than the official set, but what dedicated MOC isn't? Maybe you can buy another topsail of bricklink since your foremast is lacking one. The same applys for the foremast rigging.

As for serious improvements: some modularity would be nice, maybe a removable topdeck like the Imperial Flagship? I also think the gundeck places the cannons a bit too low.

The stern is looking very good. As others have mentioned already: What a great way to introduce yourself!
