Worked fine for me.

It's very model-like somehow

deeply loved the hull.
 :hmm:
not so sure about the masts...
thank you, playmofire, for the link.
in other threads i have been talking about the neeed for a new #royal navy" ship - always expecting to convince the playmobil spies to suggest one to their bosses.
this one is another fantastic attempt.
thank you again.

 :) :)

:wow:   8-)  8-)  8-)

I've seen this trimaster while being on the German forum. The ship is build with Macgayver's pictures / instructions for The Unicorn in mind.
The colours of this ship are very nice, but from a historical viewpoint they place the ship in the 2nd half of the 19th century. For trimasters based on the 3940 Pirateship, I prefer colours more common for 17th-18th century ships (like the new 4290 pirateship, hehehe  :P).
I also think he made the masts a bit too long for the length of the ship...probably he wouldn't shorten the original length of the riggings. Nevertheless, a very wondurful creation from Nobody_AE!!!  :)9
