The hats with gold or white rims are modfied, cloth coattails & jackets are custom, and colored hair pieces are custom. Under hair pieces are cut from official hair pieces
Thanks! It's fun to dice it up sometimes :)
Thanks! I actually started by using rubberbands for that detail first but after this build sat unfinished for 9 months they all dried out and cracked - decided ziplines would be more robust if I planned to keep the build around
Thanks! Yes, I have more pics but haven't edited them just yet. This ship will likely be included in a bigger pirate/colonial build in 2025
Sure! Here's a BTS shot showing the setup. It's pretty basic 3-point light set up: 1x LED ceiling light and 2x cheap $7 desk lamps with $25 daylight LED spotlight bulbs in them from the sides pointed up through the diffusion cloth at the top of the tent
Thanks @NOD! The ropes are medium nougat "zipline" pieces that I ordered from LEGO.com. And yes the foremast is very thick at the bottom :D Seemed like a way to let me boost the height of the old style masts that terminate at the bottom with a 4x4 plate.
Thank you! I took the photo in my larger 32" photo tent with LED "daylight" lightbulbs - I think they really help the color pop
Yes, they aren't for everyone and are more of a novelty than a castle-builder!
Sand red bricks cost between $1-$2 each plus shipping to source, plus CNC costs and time spent. We're making about 20% profit on each brick at this price.
