The Jolly Roger - a photo on Flickriver

The Jolly Roger

One of my first big MOCs was a ship which I finished in 2014. I remember it was a challenge to design and I wondered how I would approach building a ship this time, 7 years later, with a lot more building experience. One thing I knew for sure is that I didn’t want to make custom rigging, flags and sails anymore; the ship has to be 100% LEGO.

I thought Captain Hook’s ship, ‘The Jolly Roger’ from Disney’s Peter Pan, would be a fun and colourful ship to build. So, that’s what I did! It’s design and colour scheme is based on the ship in Disneyland Paris as it was when I first visited the theme park in 1992. I couldn’t find any blueprints or proper side views which made it hard to determine the dimensions. Luckily there is still Google Earth which enabled me to measure the ship’s width and length. Combine that with a load of pictures and Youtube videos and you get a long way!

Once again, the bow and stern proved to be the most difficult parts to build because of all the angles coming together at these points. Making the rigging was also a challenge without resorting to non-LEGO elements. The standard mast rigging pieces wouldn’t do for the shrouds because of the length, but instead I built them with bars, weapon hilts and droid arms. Various lengths of ‘string with end studs’ were excellent to use for the stays.
