Sailing the Spanish Main aboard Nuestra Señora de la Concepción

Tom Jacobs (Bonaparte) and Rick Bewier (Captain Green Hair) have collaborated to bring the world this gorgeous Spanish galleon, the Nuestra Señora de la Concepción.

Rather than paper or existing LEGO sails, the ship uses real canvas, complete with sewn seams. I also love the checkered patterns on the hull.

    The rigging and sails look fantastic. Also a big fan of the look of the hull. I expecially like the technic pieces used for block and tackle rig. The rope doesn’t looks so great up close. I realise it’s probably more realistic to use the twine than a waxed string but when you look at it it looks like packaging twine, not rope. I think a thinner diameter string with cleaner weave would make for better modelling.
