For BrickSlopes 2025, thirty-four ULUG members came together to build an up-scaled version of the classic LEGO pirate ship, the Black Seas Barracuda. At a 6-to-1 scale, the final ship was nearly 12 feet long, 5.5 feet wide, and 11 feet tall!
Each piece of the original 1989 set was rebuilt at six times the size, resulting in a giant ship that was assembled on-site using the original instructions. The ship also included up-scaled pirates, an up-scaled minifig mermaid for the front, and an upscaled classic LEGO monkey!
