Description

The other side of the story

The 1996 pirate world is not only about buccaneers, because the Armada soldiers guard the coasts and ships as well. The Armada Sentry stands for that side: a small outpost with one minifigure on watch duty. With 74 pieces it is a quick and manageable build. As an add-on to larger ships and forts, a set like this supplies the opponents your shelf needs and brings scenes along the shoreline to life. That adds tension to pirate scenes, because both sides are on show.

White, black and green

The colour list names white, black, green and light grey. That gives a calmer and lighter look than the darker pirate models and clearly separates the sentry from the buccaneers. Green suggests vegetation and terrain, while light grey covers masonry and stone surfaces. If you build scenes on an island or along a coast, these colours mix easily with other sets from the range without making the result look busy or hiding the minifigures. It also keeps the sentry easy to spot between darker ships.

38 part types, plenty of variety

Of the 74 pieces, 38 are different, so most elements appear only once or twice. That keeps the build varied because hardly any two steps look alike. When you rebuild later, you are left with a mixed selection of small parts that suit terrain, walls and accessories. The complete parts list on this page shows the colour and quantity of each piece, so you know exactly what is in your hands. That is handy when you later look for a particular element.

Collecting, playing, rebuilding

For collectors of the classic pirate range, the sentry is a way to complete the Armada side. As a play set it is good for small skirmishes on the beach. If you want the parts for something else, the “What can I build?” tool helps you find new models from your own collection. So even a small set from 1996 holds a surprising amount of potential for scenes and ideas of your own. On a shelf next to ships, the outpost looks fitting and adds some story to the picture.
