Lego Flying Dutchman - a photo on Flickriver

Lego Flying Dutchman

The notorious ghostship from Pirates of the caribbean (Dead Man's Chest and At World's End). Captained by the cursed Davy Jones.
More pictures at Mocpages (a lot more, mocpages is the place to be ;) )

And for the interested; link to the WIP tread (at Eurobricks, classic Pirates)

The ship weights about 4,2 kg and has a lenght of more than a meter (which makes her the biggest lego replica of Davy Jones' famous ghostship on the net). There are still some rough edges but I like it this way.
Apart from the rigging this is 100% LEGO parts.
This is my biggest creation so far, it consumes an incredible amount of parts but I'm not able to make a decent estimate (I'm not going to count them -_- ).

I used a lot of the lego I already had but for this big ship I had to make some bricklink orders as well, I spent about 100 Euro on additional parts, mainly dark tan colored bricks. As you could probably see the colorscheme consists out of rather vague colors, I tried not to use any bright colors, I also wanted to reduce black as much as possible, which was not easy.
Overall I'm very pleased, the least I could say is that is didn't turn out to be a floating garden (using plant parts on a ship is risky).

I placed this ship on Cuusoo, the ship as it is now would probably not make a good set but a lot of people were dissapointed that there is no official Flying Dutchman.
