A vintage technique to make your boats watertight is to rub crayons between the bricks to act like a sealant.

Can you remove the material afterwards?

@@brickandgear With a bit of effort, I'd assume. It's just a wax coating, and honestly it kinda mirrors what would be used on real boats.

Fantastic, my childhood dream ship starting to swim, can't believe it !

I want other LEGOpirate ships to float as well.

-Pro- amateur tip if you want to make any lego watertight : drop it into a hot bath of melted candle wax (not too hot though, don't melt your LEGO lol). Get it out of the container to get rid of the exedent. Let it dry (it solidifies quick), and all the interstices between the bricks will be filled by "joints" made of dry wax 😁. This is what I do sometimes when I'm too lazy 😅. This works well for masking too (when I paint things). The cool thing is that you can easily remove the wax and not destroy your build. (sorry, I'm French I hope my English is not too trashy ^^) _edit_ : you can also use plastidip or car covering wrap. Works pretty fine too, and cost nothing is you have some spares from an old project.

That's a bit risky. Even for me! 😅

for a bigger ship take a styrodur plate instead of the small styropor, much more boost, for the holes under the boat I took some book binding foil from the outside.:_9

What a wonderful job, I loved the idea of using sellotape for sealing!

Thank you! It kept the water outside quite well. I used a temporary silicone sealant for my latest build, and that did a much better job!
