This may be a stretch, but can you tell which lovely Playmo item I have defaced to create a shipwreck for my aquarium?
Your heart may gasp when you realize what I have done to my sacred Playmobil!

I intend to later include the actual Playmobil shipwreck set (the green one that looks like the stern of a 3050 style ship) along with the underwater scene set. :)

Yes indeed, one of the greatest playmobil pirate ships, but my God that looks good! :o :o :o
I like the way you have cut it so it looks as if it has just 'snapped' :)9

Were I a rich man I would sacrifice an ENTIRE 3286 ship and break her in two so I could sink her at the bottom of a larger aquarium, with masts still attached and whatnot. And have part of it buried in the gravel.
As it is, this was only a left over part of my custom Black Pearl in which I replaced the bow of the ship with a forecastle. My heart broke to have to hack up such a beautiful ship! At least I found some use for it's old bow :)
On a side note, I just won a 99% complete 3286 Ship off ebay just now for US$26 and only $12 shipping! SCORE!!!! I love my custom Black Pearl, but I did miss the original colours of the 3286, so when I get this one off ebay I will most likely restore it to its full glory :). Though I might still want to customize it a bit. I no longer like Playmo sails left stock.

A very effective custom. The way the rigging bows out suggests that there's a strong current running.

I really love it!! I may have been a massacre but the result is absolutely amazing!!! Very well done!!! I'd like to do something similar...

Yeah it reall looks great and as it is just a spare part it doesn't hurt me as much :-)
Why don't you use a Playmo Treasure chest?

The Davy Jones locker makes it more chilling Gis.... ;)

Aye, tis a reason thar be Davey Jones' chest rather than a Playmo one:

Lol...Davey Jones was sick and tired of humans tossin his heart all over the blasted place, so he finally got his wits about him and decided to hide it in a place where no human could go by sinkin it to the depths of....well, Davey Jones Locker! (Why didn't he think of that in the first place?) And to make sure no one got to it, he decided to guard it heavily by patrolling the waters directly above.
And I like to pretend that that's the Black Pearl (in it's red Wicked Wench form) before Davey Jones struck a deal with Jack Sparrow to raise the ship from the depths and give him a 13-year extension on life, before re-christening the ship as the Black Pearl.
Actually, all the ship parts in the aquarium are leftovers from customs. The 3286 bow was hacked off for my custom Pearl, and the stern from a Megabloks Pearl was left over and sunk as well, along with one of its masts. And the bowed rigging is the cheapo ugly rigging leftover from a Zizzle Black Pearl playset that I am currently re-rigging and re-fitting with new yards and masts. I bought the Zizzle Black Pearl (the really huge one) off craigslist for a mere US$10!
Want not, waste not, I always say, so I made good use of all my spare ship parts. :D

Was that the one with the missing bowsprit? I bid on that one, but wasn't sure how easy it would be to find all the gun port doors and other stuff it was missing.
In hindsight, I'm kicking myself for not picking it up.

yes it was, but as you can see, i happen to have a spare bowsprit sitting at the bottom of the aquarium :) i was going to fabricate new gun hatches, and i have extra sails and rigging. havent recieved it yet but it just occurred to me that it might be missing its ballast as i dont recall seeing it in the pics. :(
