OT Playmobil Pirates

[capt_steele]

I know its off topic, but... does anyone here also own Playmobil pirate ships? I found a used 2 master (3750) and have most of the parts to repair it from Playmobil parts dept., but I'm trying to find the rigging directions -- anyone happen to have a set they'd be willing to copy and mail?

I'd be willing to offer anything reasonable on my trade list for the bother.

This one(released in other countries as 3053 according to the database)?

Under links, there may be something usefull, like a parts list, etc. and if they can find parts, they might be able to find instructions.

I have a really old sloop (missing rigging and sail work), which was repainted and re-released recently.

well I have a model ship that has instructions on how to make real-looking rigging, if that helps at all

That's the one Lord Denton. The Playmobil parts department and that site have been great for figuring out what's missing. I should have the last of the missing pieces by mail soon. What they didn't seem to have was the old directions -- there are other kits that use the same or similar parts, but I'm not sure if the rigging will be similar.

Is the same hull and parts, but the sails are plastic shown furled. There are a couple of current kits that are similar that aren't on that site, but hard to tell how the sails are set up.

Mostly this has to look ok and stand up to a kindergartener.
