LEGO shipwright and Pirates fan Marooned Marin has created several impressive tall ships, from a remake of the Black Seas Barracuda to take on the Black Pearl. The builder’s latest is a cut above, and not just because of the saw-toothed prow that looks ready to rip through seas or rival ships. This time, it’s Captain Hook’s Jolly Roger that gets reimagined, but while the minifigs used are all from Disney, nothing about the ship’s design is taken from the animated classic. Instead, Marin finds a boldly original take that blends cartoony curves and nautical authenticity.
Marin built out the ship’s interiors with as much detail as the hull, with bunks for the crew, a galley, and an impressive captain’s quarters complete with an organ. There’s even a jail cell for oversized fairy prisoners.
Perhaps the most impressive feature it the ship’s stern that’s designed to look like a skull, complete with it’s own prate hat (with a smaller skull on it also wearing on a hat!). I love the rudder sticking out of the toothy maw like a blackened tongue. The skull motif was inspired by the Charon’s Chest from Pirate builder legend Captain Barbatos.
Instructions for Marooned Marin’s Jolly Roger are available on Rebrickable.
