Dan Jezek’s Big Big Big Classic
Pirate Ship — Dan Jezek
Witness Dan’s latest creation: a classic-style pirate ship as immensely
beautiful as it is beautifully immense. To this, Dan has committed nearly his
entire collection of Pirates sets, as well as three 1200-piece tubs worth of
yellow and black bricks. More than a dozen photos and descriptions detail the
intricate nature of the ship, which includes 30 cannons, a three-cell prisoner
hold, a floor-to-ceiling treasure map, a storage hold for ale, a weapons room,
and much more. The main cannons appear on the two decks below the main deck,
while the stern rises four stories above the main deck, making for an aft
total seven stories high! The bow and stern, specially hinged, both open up
to reveal several large rooms, while the main hull of the ship is multiply
separable, revealing the ship’s innards through several cross-sections. Very
cool!
Warning: The entry page for this ship currently contains a hidden frame containing an auto-starting and ever-looping sequence of cheesy MIDI
background music. To circumvent this feature, open the ship_bottom.html
frame in its own browser window and exit the original as quickly as
possible.)
