Here's my variant of the Skull's Eye Schooner. At first, I was planning on just piecing it back together, but I never liked the use of greys on the hull, its lack of an upper deck separate from the gun deck, and the inefficient usage of the hull-space just to install the movable rudder mechanism. And lego's always designed all their sailing ships with a high quarterdeck for some reason, so I wanted a different design for variety.
The end result was this variant. I also reduced the mast height so as to fit it in my shelves more easily. I haven't added sails and mast yards though because I haven't made my custom sails yet.
