6285 compared to 6268: the first one you own for the 'looks' (the original owner build it in real also mostly for show-off...!), the second one is best for playing. My kids (6 and 9) are allowed to play with all my Lego-sets, and the ships with easy (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) From a playability standpoint, definitely the SES is better, but as more of a modeler or wargamer, those "playability" features don't add much. The BSB is easily modified to have a 4 gun broadside (check out my RSB). The capstan on the SES is (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Hi, it's Jono..... I've been noticing that there has been NO even RELATIVELY interesting talk here!!!!! ...lol......anyhow, I figured I'd start something up: Which set do you think is better, the 6285 BSB, or the 6286 SES?? Give reasons why. Jono (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.pirates)
