Description

A sailing ship of medium size

Between the small boats and the big flagships of the Pirates range the Clipper holds a middle position. At 387 pieces it is clearly larger than a dinghy, yet it still fits comfortably on a shelf or a play table. That makes it a handy model to stand beside other ships. If you want to assemble a small fleet, this is a solid building block for the middle of it. The modest size also keeps the build straightforward.

Black, blue, yellow and brown

Black sets the overall mood, blue recalls water and flags, yellow adds bright accents, and brown stands for timber and equipment. With 106 different parts the mix is versatile, and for its piece count the model holds a lot of variety. For collectors that means plenty of details to discover while building, and for tinkerers a stock of special shapes that can go into other ships or harbour scenes. The brown elements in particular are not in every set in this quantity.

A crew of four

Four minifigures make a fair crew for a ship of this size. It is enough for a captain, a few sailors and perhaps an opponent trying to climb aboard. For play the deck offers enough room for the figures to move about. If you would rather display the model, the crew is a nice way of bringing the ship to life without making the arrangement feel crowded. The figures can be rearranged quickly whenever you like.

Parts list and new models

The parts list on this page shows every brick sorted by colour. It helps when checking a used Clipper or looking for individual replacements. The “What can I build?” tool adds to that by showing which other models your own stock allows, including in combination with further sets. The black and brown parts in particular suit custom pirate ships, harbours or small islands, in case you do not want to keep the original standing for good. That way the ship stays a useful stock of parts even after a rebuild.
