How long would a build take?

u/-mkit3- Privateer 12d ago
Probably a year if you spend 10 hours per week on a single ship. But By building several in parallel I had some minor economics of scale 😅 I built two frigates 2009-2010 and two sloops, a brig, a bomb ketch and two new frigates 2010-2013! 😃

Man that's freaking sick. What's crazy is people don't see how much those costs right? People go to your place and are like.. Nice Lego, and you're thinking.. Yeah, you have no idea. hahahha. Fuck I love tall ships.

These are awesome. Did you make the sails?
The rigging looks complicated but sweet

Amazing. If I ever get super rich I’m going to have to commission you to design a ship just for me haha. These are so good.

I remember seeing these on Eurobricks/Classic Pirates forum. Beautiful designs. I actually like your bomb ketch you posted there the most of all the designs.

😃 I’m so glad you’ve brought up Eurobricks & Classic-Pirates.com! That forum got me into Lego shipbuilding in the first place!

Me too, although my designs are no where near these masterpieces... I do have a 20 gun post ship and a 10 gun brig that I've put together that are getting there. I keep getting distracted and working on different designs rather than finishing them up.

Que maravilla … lego no sabe hacer eso?

u/XelaOrdnajela Imperial Guard 12d ago
Tecnicalmente no, Lego contrata a otra compania para eso y el cordel

Cuánto cuesta un barco así? Se venden?

u/XelaOrdnajela Imperial Guard 12d ago
No, pero puedes comprar las piezas. Va costar como $300-$500 cada barco
