This is a set of pieces that can be used to recreate the  Captain Red Beard mini-figure at 500% scale.  This mini-figure appeared in 14 different sets between 1989 - 2002.  

All of the the stl files needed to create this have been included in the "stl files" folder below.

For those with Bambu printers, there is a Bambu project file located in the “Bambu Projects” folder to simplify things even further.  This file contains the parts in an ideal orientation for printing.  Parts that need painting have been painted in this file as well.  Note that you will need BambuStudio to open or work with these.

This minifig was remixed from the Mega Lego-like Minifigure published by Julia Ebert.  The changes made to the original design are:

  • All parts were scaled down 50% to work with other models we've published at a 5:1 scale from original Lego parts
  • A modified torso which includes cavities to hold the torso sticker parts provided with this design (the sticker parts will need to be glued in place at these locations).
  • Replaced the legs with a modified version of brick 3678a that was scaled to size and includes a cavity to hold the skirt sticker provided with this design.
  • At 50% scale, the pins were difficult to work with (and really not needed) so these were removed from the print list (Glue was still used to attach the connectors to their respective parts)
  • Modified the hands to print with their connectors attached (This will require supports but eliminates the need to glue these pieces).
  • Modified the Leg Wooden and Hand Hook parts from Thall72 to work with our modifications to Julia's design

The basic instructions for assembling the figure can be found in Julia's post. This is a fantastic model that's easy to print and assemble.  Special thanks to Julia for sharing this work!

All the accessory parts  were taken from thal72's Printables profile (or provided by thall72 directly) and scaled to 500%. He has a massive library of Lego compatible parts available at this location.  If you wish to do any additional customization to this mini-figure, this is a fantastic resource to find additional parts.  Special thanks to him as well for sharing this work!

If you decide to print this, we'd love to see it.  Please post pics of your makes, and please consider liking this design by clicking the "like" link above.

Happy Building!!
