LEGO 10210 Imperial Flagship

Product Information

Leigh Tierney has a double-sided face. The set includes two slightly different dress pieces (steep 2x2 slopes) for her; both are blue with golden print at the front, one with blue ornaments and one with red ornaments. Some sets did not come with both dresses. The red ensign is reserved to merchant ships and Australian and New Zealand ships have alternate ensigns for Government (blue), Naval (white) and merchant (red) ships. All ships have a nationality. Civilian ships have a document which is similar to a passport called a Certificate of Registry. I have recently had the privilege of sailing in the replica HMB Endeavour during the eighteen-day delivery voyage from Sydney, Australia to New Zealand. The replica HMB Endeavour has been chartered by the NZ Government to take part in the Tuia – Encounters 250 commemoration.

Fascinating review! One of the big obstacles I’ve struggled with when discussing ship sets (or even reviewing them, in the case of Naida’s ship from the Elves theme) is not knowing a lot of the technical terminology or historical details relevant to sailing vessels, and so often having to look them up as I write. So it’s good to see a review like this which goes into a lot of detail about that stuff that I can really learn from! The comparisons to a real ship similar to those which inspired the set enhance the review even further!Read on as I share my experience in a replica 18th-Century ship rolling across the Tasman Sea. Parts Let’s take a look at each of these excellent LEGO ® ship sets: 1. Maersk Triple-E Container Ship LEGO® Set The Imperial Flagship is a fully-rigged ship: she has three masts - foremast, mainmast and mizzen mast - all of them square-rigged.

My father won the sextant in the above image when he was a cadet in HMS Conway in 1954. This image is Jim Wardle aboard mv Crusader in the late 1950s using his sextant. Compare this with the model 10210 Imperial Flagship and you can see why I have made the connection. There several parts unique to this set. In particular the dark brown hull pieces and the cloth sails. One of the most striking features of the parts list for Imperial Flagship is the number of parts: it has 1664 pieces.A sail is reefed to reduce sail area. The reef points on a square sail are the top of the sail, the head, and the sail is lifted up to the yardarm when reefed.
