TheDeeGee Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) After more than 20 years being a shipwreck in storage bins she's finally restored into her full glory! The white and grey pieces had a hydrogenperoxide bath for roughly 6 hours, including the printed pieces. The sails are in great condition as they had been stored in between the manual at the bottom of a pile of other manuals. Funny how i found this harder to build than a modern set, because they don't tell you which pieces you need, and you basically have to compare the previous image for differences ^^ Edited April 18, 2020 by TheDeeGee Quote

She's looking for a display case, but sadly enough i can't find a size, as she measures 66cm x 23cm x 49cm My current display cabinet has room on top, but it's limited to 76cm x 37cm, and i don't want the display case on top to overhang. https://www.idisplayit.co.uk/ doesn't have anything i'm looking for. They either have a really large one 78cm x 26x x 52cm, which will overhang on the side If i mod a little hoever and remove the rowing boat and lower the highest flag, i can get the size down to 63cm x 23cm x 46.5cm, which means https://www.idisplayit.co.uk/display-cases-for-lego/movies-tv/70618-destinys-bounty-display-case/ can work. It's a shame they don't offer something like 70cm x 26cm x 52cm. Quote
Corydoras Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Seems to be in excellent condition! I envy you. Quote
Totoro Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 This is absolutely stunning. I know you've done a lot of work to restore the bricks, but I'm stunned at how new the sails look! They look brand new. I'm actually in the process of trying to restore my childhood Caribbean Clipper, but it needs a LOT of work, and also has 84 missing pieces (including the sails). I was under 10 years old when I had it and it was well and truly played with, so it's in pretty rough shape. Quote
