New 5135 Pirates' ship: 360°-view available !

[Giorginetto]

Oh, and what's that big gold medallion hanging on the stern rail supposed to be?

Rubbish this is. same with the new pirate island, despite som nice details its really weird looking. The first pirate island was by far the best

I'm not seeing the 360 button....is in deutch?  I'm not spotting it somehow

Click on the item, and then click on it again, like you do to see the boxback, and the 360 button is right under the image.

I know a blackbeard ship was already released in the 3050 mould, but I wonder if it's a coincidence that, with the release of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, this new 5135 ship bares the same historical colours as BlackBeard's Queen Anne's Revenge ship:  Black, yellow, and red.

I think not.

Your flagship "Licorne" is a beautiful creation, I love the golden unicorn bowsprit and the trimasted configuaration.  I do not do any of the custom work that so many of you do, but I love to see the wonderful pieces that each of you create.  Macguyver is such a craftsman, and some of the projects he tackles are immense and so cleverly executed.

The box art image is quite different from the 360 view one.  Note all the stickers on the gunwhales are absent.

The image on the stern is interesting.  They actually used a Playmobil face unlike in the Egyptian theme.

Thanks for the information, Hadoque!  Your custom ship looks amazing!  I really wish Playmobil would make something like that.  Your navy sounds impressive too.  I have a similar idea, albeit smaller in scope.  I'll be using the older red and blue version of this ship as my French flagship and this new one as my British flagship.  I'm using the older Playmobil ships as merchant vessels for the pirates to capture and possibly occupy and the smaller ships as pirate vessels.  The really small ships make good gunboats for all sides to use.

I was very much against the fake cannon at first, but now I'm not minding them so much, although I'll have to see them in the flesh before I make a final decision.  I never fire the cannon and these fake cannon look better anyway.  I'm really loving the new redcoats too.

Martin, I like your ideas!

did i miss a review of this ship yet?  And am I correct in believing this ship is a European release first before USA?  I'm not sure why I'm so excited for this remould of the 3490 when the 3490 (3286) is still easily attainable on ebay....  I guess having a the ship moulded in new colours excites me, even though a 3286 could easily be repainted to any colour one wants, hehe.

All your ship are belong to us!

I'll be using the older red and blue version of this ship as my French flagship and this new one as my British flagship.

I'm having the same idea; the red/blue-decked 3940's (US 3286) will be my French Fleet, while I'm planning to buy 5135's for use as an English Fleet. And a few of each version will serve as major pirates' ships, supported by smaller vessels. The Unicorn will remain a French pre-Revolution ship-of-the-line.
I've cut the hulls of a pair of 3940's and started to glue them to build a 2nd Unicorn-class French ship, but it's the first one of this kind I want to build myself (as most know, Macgayver did the Unicorn) and it's going slow... Also I'll probably have to defer working on it till next year or so, as we're selling my dad's (uninhabited) house and I can't really work well on such custom-ships in my place  , I'm hoping to move again to a bigger house with a garden and such.

Coming hopefully somewhere next week if nobody else is quicker with it; I've ordered 2 5135's on Playmobil-Belgium's site yesterday 
On the German Klickywelt-forum there are already a few images of the inside of the 5135, I'll post a pic in a separate thread.
