The five sets that make up the 7th Series of the BrickLink Designer Program were revealed in all their glory earlier this week, let’s take a closer look at the Privateer Frigate Fortuna by BrickPerfection!
Embark on an epic voyage with the Privateer Frigate Fortuna — a swift and graceful 18th-century warship crafted for daring expeditions and high-seas adventure. This stunning 4,000-piece model is perhaps the closest a LEGO creation has ever come to a historically accurate sailing frigate from the final years of the Golden Age of Piracy.
Whether proudly displayed as the centerpiece of your collection, integrated into a larger pirate diorama, or starring in a stop-motion film, Fortuna is breathtaking from every angle. When looking closely, you will find a host of innovative and largely unique building techniques and an extraordinary level of detail and refinement.
Fortuna comes with 20 Minifigures (including a magnificent figurehead). These include, Captain, captain’s daughter, lieutenant, midshipman, Boatswain, cook, sailmaker, carpenter, six sailors and five marines. They are joined by a goat, a cat, two chickens, and one mischievous stowaway — a monkey!
Raise the colors of the Redcoats, Bluecoats, or go rogue with an exquisite pirate flag.
I designed printable sail templates (A4 or US Letter). When printed on heavy, natural-textured paper (single- or double-sided), they rival the appearance of real fabric sails. Assembly requires only scissors and a standard hole punch — no additional LEGO elements are needed.
Open the gun ports and slide out the cannons for realistic naval battles. Working Capstan & Anchors: A clever selector gearbox lets you raise or lower either anchor. The removable capstan can be turned with Minifigures on it. When unselected, the anchor can also be dropped.
Remove the top deck in sections for full access. Minifigures can stand and move below deck, and there is storage for all of their weapons and utensils. Prepare food for the crew in the galley, read maps in the captain’s cabin, or look after the treasure chest below deck.
Accurate, three-piece masts complete with standing rigging. The yards can turn into the wind and Minifigures can climb the shroud. The graceful curves of an 18th-century frigate are captured in all three dimensions using hinged sections, slopes, and half-a-plate high offsets for a smooth, historically faithful shape.
Pre-ordering starts on February 16th, 2026 at 8AM Pacific time.
