I should've worded my first post differently. I meant that TLG would probably use the boat piece for simplicity if they released a set like this. But maybe not - they have done several brick built hulls in recent years. And due to the simplicity of the original, I pretty much expected a brick built hull for this when I saw the title.
-
The lunacy of the original set was half the fun. That and the rare plain bicorne. Nice remake. The hull shaping is good, although for the sake of simplicity in an official set I think you could use the standard boat and just replace the full cannon with the howitzer - if you had room for the 2 men, that is.
-
On the one hand, this looks like a pretty cool set, but... On the other hand, when the only offerings are remakes, it feels like this theme is dead. Somehow I can't muster much excitement. In 5 years maybe they'll do a reimagined Armada Sentry. That would just be glorious.
-
I loved the original and this remake is cool too. You've managed to stuff a lot of details into the available space again. I didn't watch the video, but it appears the floor is ingots on plates? Cool technique.

Interesting set design and fun crocodile concept. Looks like a fun play set.

Go home, Mr. Chat. You're drunk. Tell me more about the famous Oleander, Count Mesabi of the Westface Trading Company.

@Robert8 After recently acquiring multiple copies of the Rococo Aristocrat I remembered your French Queen from past years and came back here to make the comparison only to see that @Eggyslav has already done it! I like your colors slightly better, but I'm just glad they made something similar. Your original design is still great. Historical accuracy notwithstanding, I like the official hairpiece better only because it's monocolor and will work with other outfits. And congrats on all that you did with this project.

You scurvy dog, you beat me to it. (Something like this has been on my build list for... several years now...) Fantastic layout. I like the overall view and the interiors look great, especially the floor patterns. And of course the detailed work stations are nice. I really appreciate the effort you put into the boring assemblies. Excellent work all around!

Here's a pirate town from the forums. Is something like this what you have in mind?
