Description

A ship with rank

The name promises a ship that leads the fleet, and set 6280-1 delivers that as part of the Pirates I range. It was released in 1996 and has 291 pieces. Black, white, red and yellow give a strong contrast that recalls sails, flags and hulls. Ships need plenty of room, so a model of this size is a sensible middle way between a toy and a display piece, neither cramped nor overwhelming.

Three hands on deck

Three minifigures make up the crew, enough for a small scene on deck. You can stand them up as officers or soldiers and set them against pirates from other sets. Much of this range lives from the contrast between the two sides, and the flagship supplies the Armada's. The 107 different part types mean plenty of detail, such as rigging, superstructure and accessories, which bring the ship to life far beyond what the piece count suggests.

Complete or not?

Old ship models readily lose small parts such as flags, accessories or fittings. The parts list on this page helps you check a used copy and buy only what is missing. It lists all 107 types with quantities. It is especially worth looking at the red and yellow elements, because they supply the colour accents and stand out when they do not match the rest. That way you avoid paying more than the set is really worth.

Building up a fleet

A flagship only really works with opponents and escorts. Place it beside other pirate ships and islands, and the sea battle can begin. With “What can I build?” on Bricoria you can see which other sets your collection supports once this one is added. Black and white are in almost every collection, so you can add small boats or harbour pieces of your own that set the ship inside a bigger scene.
