I broke the tie. I have 5778 and I have to say that 3286 is superior in every way.

like bonniebeth I have a problem with the design of the captain's cabin and bridge (actually the complete stern); it doesn't fit with the design used for the rest of the ship. The bow looks like from a 19th century ship while the stern looks like from a 15th or early 16th century vessel.

Wow, my concerns over it were not heary so technical, as I really don't know much about the history of ship design. Mine was much more shallow... I just don't like the way it looks. :-[

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

 5778 is a cheap stupid reproduction of the mould nothing to do with 3750   :no: :no: :no: :no: :no:

In my opinion this ship has been done way too much and the molds need a rest. It is so easy to get a dozen of them in the post tomorrow for cheap prices and there were even different color combinations. 3550, 3053,  3705, 5778, 4424, 5736 are all based off this mold.   I would prefer if they would make a new ship a bit larger
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

When a person uses something too much they put it down as to not wear it out.

The old ones should be aluminum but I am not sure about the new high tech ones. They will wear out over time and can also get distorted due to heat/cooling cycles. Companies try to minimize the use and how many they need to make as it is a substantial expense

  • Greetings from USA :) Pirates, Ahoy!
if they "re-released" this ORIGINAL version as a collectible re-release, the way it originally looked, with CLOTH sails, the original crew, flags, and complete string rigging and metal bell and gold chrome lamp housings, then a definite YES THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS SHIP AGAIN!

Or, as an awesome re-vamped version like they recently did with the 3286 mould.  Anything less (ala Blackbeard's ship or skull ship) would be a "nay" in my book.

This mould, specifically, practically-speaking, is actually far-superior compared to the 3286 in terms of stability and sea-worthiness on real waters.  But I agree, for living room display use, the 3286 LOOKS much better.  On the waters, though, the 3750 is very stable, well balanced, and is nigh unsinkable (whereas the 3286 capsizes easily).

Best thing that could happen as far as ships go IMO would be to release a totally brand new ship (NOT LIKE THE 4290) with the stability of the 3750 and the pleasing aesthetics of the 3286, bigger, and with more guns :)
Ahoy, Pirates, Hoist the Colours!
