Thanks very much Hadoque, a great collection of ships. I too would love to see more of El Lobo's ship.

Here a trimaster with double gundeck in late 18th/early 19th century English Navy colours, made by Klickywelt-member "Graf Georg" from several 3940s. He builded the ship before Macgayver finished the "Unicorn" and "Dolphin", and it seems he now updated the ship with 4290-masts & sails.
The picture was posted on Klickywelt, and was taken at the "Luxplaymodays"-exhibition a week or 2 ago, were the ship was part of a big pirates' display were also Macgayver's "Dolphin" was to be seen.


There were better pics of this ship available on the old German predecessor-forum of Klickywelt, but I can't find them anymore... :-\

Another beauty; a 1900-era steamship named "Nomadic" made by Klickywelt-member "Victorian".

More pics available on Klickywelt:

Hadoque, I was wondering, for you proud owners of trimaster ships, about the masts:

with the masts stacked atop each other like that, are they prone to being wobbly if you pick the ship up and move it?  Real masts as you know go through the deck and are seated all the way at the bottom of the ship at the keel, whereas stock playmobil masts rest in a hole less than 2cm deep on the deck itself.  How are the top masts mounted to the course masts?  And does it involve functional standing rigging (like back stays) to brace it on the toy so it doesn't topple over easily?  Or are they just glued in place?

That british ship is awesome looking.  I've always wanted to do a double decker multi-hull like that, or at least a single-level multi-hull like your unicorn.  I think the spanker from a "schooner" (sloop) would look good on a ship that has multi-level masts, since the sloop spanker is bigger than the regular 3050/3940/4290 ones.

I'm jealous of you multi-hull ship owners!
