Legostein Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Hello everybody! Today, I would like to show you a possible theme expansion for the Armada sub-theme of classic pirate theme of 1996. I am sure most of you can remember the blue/white Armada Flagship (set 6280). Here we have a smaller companion for it: a small caravel with two lateen sails, built in the same color scheme as its larger cousin. Some similar design elements from the larger flagship have been used, intentionally, to make it clearly a possible addition of the theme. Have a good start into the new week! More images on FlickR.

Feuer Zug Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Good looking little caravel. The colors fit the armada theme well. Quote

Filibbooo Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Nice little "agile" caravel! I like the positioning of the sails! Quote

Elephant Knight Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 You got the colour scheme down perfect, and that is hard to do for the Armada. Lovely little ship, fits in perfectly with the sets. EKnight Quote
VaneStream Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 I really like these little ships and you built a very nice one! As others have mentioned, great colour scheme! Quote
Legostein Posted June 19, 2022 Author Posted June 19, 2022 Thank you everyone for the kind comments! All of you who mentioned the colors are right! Getting them right, and let the ship look like a set that could have been released those days in the 90s, is an important aspect of the moc, too! See you around! Quote
Third Navigator Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 I think You made great remake of the set 6280. Because each parts of ship looks like the summary of it. But it is definitely different from the Original. The lighter hull and white-blue stripe sail make me feel fresh. Quote
