This is a set inspired by the Pirates and the more recent Asian themes released by Lego. I have already designed a Korean Turtle Ship under Bricklink, I wanted to go further in the design and to challenge me to build a building along. I also would like to give something different to our community with a set able to give playability and diorama capability.

The set is also made to be constructed by 2 different people and is balanced :

- the tower is made of 1008 pieces with 3 minifigures

- the ship is made of 1170 pieces with 4 minifigures

- you can build it with your kid (above 8/10 years)

On the technical side and for the construction, I tried to have something of a low difficulty but with some suprises for each part of the sub sets. The build is sturdy and each floor of the pargoda can be removed to see the interior but are held tightly. The pagoda has a kitchen, a bedroom and the watching room.

The ship has a working access trap, the mast can be tilted like on the historical ship and the roof is removable for easy interior access.

The minifigures are though of an army building with 1 captain and the 6 soldiers with him. All of them have differents expressions.

I also limited myself strictly for the amount of pieces. I did not wanted to go above 2200 pieces to keep a low price. I aimed for the average piece part of BDP8 because I wanted to keep the set affordable for a maximum of people. Unfortunatedly, I made the decision to keep the island simpler without vegetation (one of the version was above 3000 pieces !)

All of the constraint above made me feel like a real Lego designer ! I spend more than 70h on the design, correcting the defects in real life with the pieces and on editing correctly the instructions.

Thank you all !
