Many of you may know this ship as it had traveled to many shows with it's original creator Legostone since it's first appearances in 2018. Back in September of 2019 Legostone had posted that the rigging was in poor shape and that the ship had suffered some structural fatigue due to many miles logged in the back of a car. He had asked for advice on what to do with the ship.
It had seemed that the ships fate was her service had come to an end and she would be dismantled. However a new option arose! Another Pilar of the ship building community, Sebeus I talked Legostone into selling him the ship and he took on the daunting restorations. By the end of March of 2020 she made her reappearance. However she now sails under the black with some great renovations. This LINK will take you to the updated pictures, scroll to the top to see the original photos.

14 Gun Brig: Pinnacle
Mr. Townsend has shared his ship building expertise again with us, this time in the form of a 14 gun brig called the Pinnacle. He has displayed some amazing custom sails that look very authentic, and even used 5 different kinds of string to simulate the rigging. The blue flag is a great touch as well. Bow to stern this sailing ship is a masterpiece.
To view more pictures of the 14 Gun Brig: Pinnacle check out the forum.

A strong crew, some fierce guns and a fast vessel makes this ship a must for every fleet.

'A watchful eye'
Being inspired by the movie Master and Commander; the far side of the world and by the new game Napoleon:Total War, Captainkiwi has built an awesome privateer ship. The custom sails, the slanted stern and some other things make it look very good. The name 'Vigilant', meaning 'a watchful eye', really suits this ship and so does the figurehead. Captainkiwi has improved his building skills since his first MOC, the HMS Royale, and with a good result.
So check out Le Vigilant by Captainkiwi in the forum!

Teenage Fan of LEGO, Lamanda, has been producing quality custom cloth products, such as capes, for some time now, including some pirate flags. Recently she has been adding to her repertoire with sails following the templates of the official LEGO ones, such as this -

Although the current sail designs are based on the Castle factions, Lamanda takes commissions - got a design in mind?
Discuss future designs in the Pirate forum!

Logbo wasn't quite satisfied with the range of sails provided by LEGO®, so he decided to make his own. It's always nice to see some custom sails, but these are extraordinary! With a brilliantly stunning white and red Imperial pattern and a dark and forbidding Pirate insignia, these sails would fit nicely onto an ship!
So head on over to Logbo's Sailmaking thread and check out his custom genius!

Have you ever wanted to make custom sails but didn't know how to make them? Take a look at Paul Cantu's handy tutorial and discuss it on the Classic Pirates forum.

And yes, it is cheap as well!
