Endurance Expedition Ship (LEGO 10335)

About this set

This is LEGO Icons set 10335, a display model of the Endurance expedition ship, built from 3011 pieces and rated 5/5 for difficulty. The finished build is a three-masted sailing ship with a black hull accented by white lines, beige cloth sails, a bowsprit, deck detailing, rigging and ropes, all sitting on a display base. The colour scheme stays within black, white, beige, brown and red. When building, I would assemble the hull and deck in layers first, then attach the three masts and bowsprit, and leave the rigging until the end; the ropes tend to tangle once the masts are upright, so working mast by mast keeps things manageable. With 3011 pieces and that 5/5 rating, it suits builders who have already tackled mid-size sets and want a larger ship project. The black hull with white trim and beige sails reads clearly on the stand.
