Treasure ship, a brick build

LET’S MAKE A LITTLE SOMETHING

Treasure ship

40 pieces 19 steps

A cream sail rises above a brown ship with a rounded bow, deck rails and a hidden treasure hold. Lift the cream rear deck as one piece to discover the three treasures inside.

Free instructions. No account needed.

Have these shapes handy: Curved brick, Picket fence.

A little before you begin

The cream sail and mast are fixed. The cream rear deck lifts off as one connected piece.

Three square bricks are the treasures. The separate Treasure chest model is not included and is not claimed to fit inside.

Use the ship for dry tabletop play. It is not designed to float.

Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →

A LITTLE PREPARATION

Gather your pieces

Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.

WHEN THE BUILDING IS DONE

Now for the little story.

Hide the yellow, red and blue treasures in the hold, then close the deck. Make a paper treasure map. Sail to the island and unload the treasures by hand. Give the ship a name and tell a story about who found the first clue.
