The Terror - large 3187 pirate ship MOD - main
This 100% build-able model was inspired by set 3817 (Flying Dutchman) from the Spongebob Squarepants theme. It has been seriously up-sized in scale, and now features four masts (three square and one triangular) with Technic panel sails and 16 brick-built cannons. The ships also has a crows nest and a removable rear upper deck for access to the captain's cabin.
Fictional background:
Built in 1716, this sailing ship was originally intended for use by the English navy. The ship (named the Terror) was outfitted with 16 cannons to fight off pirates while raiding other nations ships as a privateer. Ironically, the Captain of the ship, a man named William Greenwood, quickly grew tired of sharing the stolen loot with the English government and became and outright pirate, painting his ship green to go with his last name and to mark his ship as belonging to no country.
After a period of the about three years of plundering, the Captain and his crew discovered a strange shattered dagger on a forgotten island, which he believed would bring him luck, so he had a crew member blacksmith it into a more modern Sword. Captain Greenwood then set sail into the horizon, not to be seen again until 1925, when he suddenly appeared near the coast of Ireland. It was then captain realized the dagger he made into a sword contorted time.
The story of the mysterious ships' re-appearance spread round the world like wildfire, and soon Sam Sinister's and his evil cronies and the Adventurers representing the forces of good would set in motion the biggest manhunt in recent human history: the search for the Sword of Time was on!
