[MOC] I wasn't happy with the official Black Pearl (10365), so I gave it the "UCS treatment" it deserves!
BlockTalk Summary
LEGO fan /u/OneIndependence7262 wasn't satisfied with the official LEGO Black Pearl set (10365), so they took matters into their own hands. They rebuilt the set, giving it a "UCS treatment" with significant modifications to improve its accuracy and overall appearance.
The builder started with Rebrickable instructions from ShineBOI to extend the hull, but ultimately added over 600 extra pieces to achieve a more movie-accurate look. Key upgrades include a fully tiled and redesigned upper deck with realistic railings and stairs, as well as redesigned upper cannons. The upper deck is also completely removable. The builder used an inverted SNOT-technique to recreate the iconic wood ornaments on the bow wall, which was originally a flat wall in the official set. The stern was also detailed with statuettes and refined carvings below the lanterns.
The project presented challenges, especially in keeping the inverted bow section stable while connecting it to the main chassis. However, the builder was pleased with the result, noting that it's more solid than expected. The project is still a work in progress, with the builder open to feedback and further refinements.
If you're inspired to create your own custom LEGO builds, you might find a brick separator helpful for making adjustments.
