Posted June 29, 20204 yr I had already announced it, I am currently working on a new edition of the 6286 ship, the Skull Eye Schooner.(Even if the ship is not actually a schooner) I'm still designing it with the studio program. Here I have the first pictures: For the amidships, I used the Barracuda as a guide. Here is a comparison of the old figurehead to the new one! I am extremely satisfied with the result! Since this mast is unfortunately not available in the studio program, I had to create a dummy.^^ Now "only" the rear is missing. Actually, the ship hast 173 building steps^^
June 30, 20204 yr Excellent idea! And is coming around very good! I can't wait to see the final result. Do you plan you share the Studio file? Edited June 30, 20204 yr by Brickander Brickumnus
June 30, 20204 yr Author I don't know yet whether I'll share the studio file. What I will definitely publish for everyone is the complete instruction as a PDF. I did the same with the Imperial Flagschip and the Renegate Runner too. Edited June 30, 20204 yr by Raziel-117
July 8, 20204 yr Author I'm finally done! I still have to order a few parts via BrickLink. When they are still here, then I can build the Ship! Then you also get the final pictures! In the end there were exactly 500 building steps ^^
July 10, 20204 yr Author I'm still missing some bricks. There are a total of 7 BrickLink orders - of which 5 have already arrived today. Hopefully the other two will come tomorrow, because then I can start building on Sunday ^^ The Skull Eyes Schooner is by far my favorite set from Lego. I also don’t remember in which year I got it. But an estimated 22-25 years ago, I would say. In order to say goodbye to this old friend (before he is reborn in the form of the reaper), I made up a little ministory. But I did not make the greatest effort. I think I would have made up a whole story earlier, 20 years ago. ^^ Something would have happened, like, the Skull Eye is in the Caribbean when the Navy suddenly appears. Panic spreads ... A battle ensues, but the pirates are outnumbered ... But then an allied ship comes to the reinforcement! And together they defeat the enemy and start a big celebration! Unfortunately, the Skull Eye didn't survive the battle! Fortunately, the Allies have a capable shipbuilder and the Reaper is bored ^^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something like that ~ I also renewed the crew! Although I have kept some figures. There are also 3 officers, with the middle one setting the tone. It's amazing how the print quality of the characters has changed in the 30 years! At the time, I didn't care that Lego had given the characters names. I knew his name was Captain Redbeard, but I never called him that. Just see his hand! It's Captain Hook! End of discussion ^^ The guy to his right was Smee. Well, if everything works out, you'll get the final pictures in the course of the next week!

July 19, 20204 yr Author The Time has come ^^ The Ship is finally finished! On my Flickr Page I have a lot more Pictures. You can find the Instruction >here< as Download! Here are a few Comparison-Pictures with the Original:
July 21, 20204 yr I thin k this looks as a great update! The comparison shots show how much you managed to improve on the original! I specialy like the new bow section with its fore castle. And the extra layer for the midships deck gives the whole ship a better line (stern less 'sticking out and up'). Edited July 21, 20204 yr by jan kusters
August 8, 20204 yr A wonderful update! still looks like the original, but also looks like something completely new! Well done! EKnight
September 2, 20204 yr Author Thank you all for the positive feedback! In the studio program, the Ship-Parts are unfortunately quite buggy. You can't align the bricks properly. I always had to create a few auxiliary constructions
