LEGO 10210 Imperial Flagship

Product Information

I really appreciated the opportunity to sail in this authentic replica eighteenth-century ship commemorating such an important part of New Zealand's early European history. HMB Endeavour is registered in Sydney so she is an Australian ship. She flies an Australian Red Ensign.

One of the most striking features of the parts list for Imperial Flagship is the number of parts: it has 1664 pieces. You can see the ship is flying the New Zealand Flag - as a courtesy - from the starboard yardarm as the ship was berthed in an NZ port. A sail is reefed to reduce sail area. The reef points on a square sail are the top of the sail, the head, and the sail is lifted up to the yardarm when reefed.

Here are the chainplates in HMB Endeavour. The yellow platform is called "the channels", and they hold the shrouds away from the hull. The chainplates are under the channels. Given that this set is a "Flag" ship and my LEGO User name is Flags NZ. I would like to share a commentary on the two flags visible in the next image. The Imperial Flagship is a fully-rigged ship: she has three masts - foremast, mainmast and mizzen mast - all of them square-rigged. Both of these flags are considered "defaced" as they have a badge - the Southern Cross - in the fly. Though the initial thoughts of LEGO® indicate a favourite pass time for kids, the rapidly expanding “LEGO® Universe” clearly states that the LEGO®s are not just for kids.

I have recently had the privilege of sailing in the replica HMB Endeavour during the eighteen-day delivery voyage from Sydney, Australia to New Zealand. The replica HMB Endeavour has been chartered by the NZ Government to take part in the Tuia – Encounters 250 commemoration.I have a passion for traditional navigation techniques, and during the voyage in HMB Endeavour, I lead some celestial navigation and astronomical activities. All ships have a nationality. Civilian ships have a document which is similar to a passport called a Certificate of Registry.

Leigh Tierney has a double-sided face. The set includes two slightly different dress pieces (steep 2x2 slopes) for her; both are blue with golden print at the front, one with blue ornaments and one with red ornaments. Some sets did not come with both dresses. Many great LEGO® Ship sets are still not in the market for consumers, especially those based on the LEGO® Cruise Ship theme. However, a few cruise ship companies and individuals have made their cruise ship LEGO® sets. The jib (the foremost staysail on the bowsprit) is not attached to any cords and is instead held aloft by a pole that wouldn't be there on an actual sailing ship. We fired the cannon one clear morning, midway across the Tasman Sea. I used this opportunity to get some images of a minifig gun-crew in juxtaposition with the real cannon. In my opinion, 10210 Imperial Flagship very closely resembles a minifigure scale representation of a ship with celebrity status such as the original HMS Endeavour that was the centrepiece of James Cook's first global circumnavigation between 1768 and 1771.

Details

Read on as I share my experience in a replica 18th-Century ship rolling across the Tasman Sea. Parts There several parts unique to this set. In particular the dark brown hull pieces and the cloth sails. They are not just for kids but a great hobby during your free time on ships or during breaks at home. No.

Fascinating review! One of the big obstacles I’ve struggled with when discussing ship sets (or even reviewing them, in the case of Naida’s ship from the Elves theme) is not knowing a lot of the technical terminology or historical details relevant to sailing vessels, and so often having to look them up as I write. So it’s good to see a review like this which goes into a lot of detail about that stuff that I can really learn from! The comparisons to a real ship similar to those which inspired the set enhance the review even further! Let’s take a look at each of these excellent LEGO ® ship sets: 1. Maersk Triple-E Container Ship LEGO® SetThe sheer joy of building attracts adults and kids to these massively popular construction toys, which are now available in various themes, ranging from cities to trains to robots. Nothing is hardly left that has to be converted into a LEGO® set. Traditionally it was where the captain commanded his vessel. Imperial Flagship has a big wooden wheel to control the rudder. My father won the sextant in the above image when he was a cadet in HMS Conway in 1954. This image is Jim Wardle aboard mv Crusader in the late 1950s using his sextant. The Skull’s Eye Schooner is LEGO’s most giant pirate vessel ever constructed. It has everything a person can ask for. The 912-piece set is quite extensive and very detailed. It has six cannons, a captain’s cabin and nine mini-figures. 4. Which Cruise Line has a partnership with LEGO? The 135 cm long LEGO Titanic set is the company’s most extensive ship toy construction set in size. The 1:200 scale model of the legendary ship makes it the ultimate building set that comes with 9,090 pieces. 3. What is the biggest LEGO Pirate Ship?
