Admiral_Wig Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 No no its not just a case of what sets you have!!! I think this would be a nice place to see peoples collections all together, you know their ships and bases and forts or lil random things to do with pirates. I had the ingenius idea of rebuilding both my ships (despite one not even being finished) and so now i currently have a pile of lego and 2 BSB hulls with bows built up and thats about it! Quote
simonwillems Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Here ya go maties! Not my entire collection, just the vessels. (An old picture of my fleet, in the mean time I have aquired the 6280 and 6289 as well.... but still a pretty sight) (Click to enlarge) Edited October 8, 2007 by simonwillems Quote
Admiral_Jackson Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Those ships look all that much cooler together in battle formation! I'd suggest having pirates swing via rope onto the imperial ship causing havoc, but perhaps that's just the little kid in me. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 9, 2007 Governor Posted October 9, 2007 No no its not just a case of what sets you have!!! That's right! Like Mr Tiber said we already have a thread for that. So... Start taking pictures and posting! Quote
Capn Frank Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 ...Start taking pictures and posting! Ok Here's my pirate collection as of 3 weeks ago :-D I have nothing complete in all of my collection right now and this is my unsorted pile :-P P Quote
Joey Lock Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I like all your collections mates. Very very good indeed. Woot! My 100 Post!!!! Do do do do do do! 8- Quote
Wes Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 ISS Advantage 60a, ISS Adventure 60c Here's some pictures of some of my ships: My flagship, ISS Advantage. There are two 6274s behind it. ISS Adventure (Red Sides), a 6285, 6277, and a redcoat BSB-size ship in the mirror. Small vessels and an Imperial Base (sorry for the blurriness) An Imperial fort (somewhat overmanned) and a small vessel, the ISS Little Red Dragon. A BSB-size ship with sand green. Needs some windows. 6286 Misc WIPs and merchant ships Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 24, 2008 Governor Posted August 24, 2008 Well Wes! You're certainly a dark horse - I never realised you had so such Pirate LEGO! Awesome collection! I like how you've made the Caribbean Clipper into a decent sized vessel, your blue coats have something comparable to the Black Seas Barracuda and Skulls Eye Schooner. The other thing I like is your abundance of cutter sized vessels which is something the LEGO Group should really consider basing some sets around. Quote
Gen. Knowledge Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Hey Wes, You sure have a lot of ships and even more minifigs. Some of your ships looks like a scene of refugees fleeing a third world country. I hope that didn't offend anyone. Ever thought about combining some of your ships to make a much larger one?

Fluyt Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 That's a lot of ships , I only have 3, and they're disassembled Where they all once original ships, or did you buy hulls, sails and masts from BL or something similar? Because it looks like there's at least 4 CC, 3 BSB, 2 SES and 2 Armada flagships in there among others. Quote
Wes Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Well, originally I think I bought: 3x 6274 Caribbean Clippers 3x 6285 Black Seas Barracuda 2x 10040 Black Seas Barracuda 2x 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner 2x Imperial Flagships 2x Armada Flagships I have also bought at least 5 ship hulls on bricklink, and parts. Three of them are RBR hull parts, but with an extra center section (so they have 3 center sections each). I bought 800 to 900 pirates from torquay's bulk store on Bricklink, and I have about 120 or so bluecoats. I use red for the standard guys and yellow epaulettes for the higher ranking guys (to fit with Lego's sets). My bluecoats use the Western weapons, though, because they were cheaper at the time. One of the parts of my collection that I don't have a photo of is my treasure...I went on a spending binge one time and literally bought half the gold coins on Bricklink...so now I have enough gold to fill up three BSB-size hulls end to end, and enough jewels to fill up a fourth. I have too many ships and not enough docks and land, so my latest project is to build a large dock and many islands. As for building a large ship, there's another (not pictured) ship-rigged two-decker that I've slowly been working on. It has four center sections. I intend to use my collection productively by running Evil Stevie's Pirate Game in public venues like DragonCon. Edited August 24, 2008 by Wes Quote

You have way to many troops in the Ships, Mabye I could take some off your hands for space? I like your Forts, I wish I had them... Quote
legotrainfan Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Well, originally I think I bought:3x 6274 Caribbean Clippers 3x 6285 Black Seas Barracuda 2x 10040 Black Seas Barracuda 2x 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner 2x Imperial Flagships 2x Armada Flagships Wow, I'm heavily impressed! Were they all new when you bought them? You're absolutely devouted to Pirates!! And you must have the necessary financial means to be so tremendously devouted to it! I also like the way you have transformed the Caribbean Clipper into something bigger and amazing! Absolutely great that ship! And I'm looking forward to seeing your port! Don't hesitate to post it as soon as you have completed it! Quote

I Hope to post better pics of the 12-gun flagship sometime in the future. Most of the sets were bought used, but there were a few BSBs I got MISB. Nothing stays MISB at my house, though. I only buy to build with! Quote

Can't wait to see your port finished, which has to be huge to accomodate the very impressive amount of ships you have. Edited August 24, 2008 by Fluyt Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 25, 2008 Governor Posted August 25, 2008 Most of the sets were bought used Do you plan to buy anymore sir? There's a Skulls Eye Schooner on eBay looking for a new Captain but I suspect by the time you read this she'll have been sold. Quote
Wes Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) I do not plan to buy any more large ships -- I already have an excess and need to focus more on islands and small craft for now. Edited August 25, 2008 by Wes Quote

Commodore Hornbricker Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Some of it is sorted. Some is in bagged set form. Some is just loose mixed. The three large grey containers on the middle level contain elements of the port that are somewhat complete. The tranparent blue container in the middle has space, vehicle, train stuff that I am going to sell off. You can see the minifigures top left at rest waiting for a proper home. So this is my collection it is always growing as demonstraighted by the five islander sets in their original boxes I bought off craigslist for next to nothing just a few hours ago. Oh ya and the back end of the elliptical machine where I work out and get ispiration for future creations. Can you tell my wife and kids are out of town for the weekend? Quote
Zorro Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 That's an amazing collection you have there! I can only wish I had that much LEGO... Quote
Guss Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 wow, me too, just take 1 of the big grey box, that's my collection XD Quote
General Armendariz Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 My collections those two huge ones and thats all. Very awesome! Quote
Erdbeereis Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Lovely collection you have there! I can only imagine how much great stuff is in the containers. Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I am going to have to do something to better organize it. It is getting so that it takes forever to move around and get at things I need. Quote
