Dannylonglegs Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Beautiful, a work of art, this is marvelous! The roof is fantastic, the cheese slopes were a great idea, and the rest is just as great. ...And did I mention it's HUGE!!! The virtues of this piece are nearly endless ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited January 17, 2010 by dannylonglegs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonas Posted January 17, 2010 Excellent MOC with super-realistic design!!! How many cheese slopes have you used for making the roof? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBrick&BoB Posted January 17, 2010 About 2500 pieces. Not to build was the problem, but to buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badboytje88 Posted January 17, 2010 I love the broken wall effect on the side of the building. How did you do that? It looks lovely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted January 17, 2010 Very nice! The tan mixes well with the light bley, and the roof is outstanding. I too love the broken down look given to some of the areas, it is done very well. The foliage is nice too, with the vines winding through the bushes. Very, very cool. :thumbup: ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commodore Hornbricker Posted January 17, 2010 Holy cheese John Silver. Fantastic! I am "inn" love with the entire MOC but the roof is amazing! Truely a great creation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legorski Posted January 17, 2010 Amazing, this EPIC creation might have just blow out what brain I have left! XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanotrooper Posted January 17, 2010 Outstanding work, the colours match perfectly. I assume those are a lot of cheese slopes on te roof? TT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueandwhite Posted January 17, 2010 There is an understated quality about this MOC that I absolutely love. The entire scene is incredibly beautiful and the use of cheese slopes on the roof is simply brilliant. The end result is a building that looks more like a model than a LEGO MOC. Truly a masterpiece!

samurai-turtle Posted January 18, 2010 Very nice, I am wondering if their is an inside (my guess no). (I think your pictures might a little to big for the site.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curtisrlee Posted January 18, 2010 Cheese slopes + Roof = HOLY F***ing GOD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex the Great Posted January 18, 2010 I'm blown away, I saw you're castle port on the frontpage. The roof on this is AMAZING!!!! Very good job, I saw you're already a MOC expert, deservingly too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted January 18, 2010 Wow! This is truly amazing. Just to layer the entire roof with cheese-slopes must have taken days. The overall appearance is aesthetically pleasing, and the details fantastic. Excellent job on this. Will you be sharing some interior images? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Bricker Posted January 18, 2010 Really well done. I liked the tile you used for the roof and I like how you did the wall texturing. I also like the overal color scheme. Your blind pew looks great too. Great MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted January 18, 2010 Extremely good work here. It's size is very impressive as well as what everyone has said, I must comment on the door closest tot he ladder, I love the multicolored look in the arch, great technique used there!

Hound Knight Posted January 18, 2010 Wow, awesome MOC! I love the roof, doorways, and all the little details on the outside. And you get extra points for MOCing one of my favorite books ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Croissant Posted January 18, 2010 You are a very promising new member, great work on this MOC, it looks marvellous! I hope you will make more MOC's of the pirate theme, you're very good at it. The use of the cheese slopes is ingenious, as well as a lot of other details. Nice job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Gecko Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) *Climbs back into chair, implying that he fell out* How many Gajillion Cheese slopes do you have? But really, great work, I love the roof and doorways most. Edited January 18, 2010 by Sir Gecko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennimator Posted January 19, 2010 Whoa! Incredible! I love how you did all the details, like the occasional brown cheese slope in the roof, and the surroundings! About 2500 pieces.Not to build was the problem, but to buy it. I understand completely. I´m currently building a MOC which uses the same roof technique. It won´t be as big though, so I calculated how many I had to buy, and it was in the high 1400s, so I bought 1500 black cheese slopes. My wallet hurts... One thing I´d like to "steal" from this design though, is the half-stud offset in the roof. I´m planning to use it too, but so far I haven´t figured out a way to do it without making the roof too thick, or use hundreds of jumper plates. How did you build the half-stud offset? Do you have any pics? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrBrick&BoB Posted January 19, 2010 Yes, this is the way we build the full roof. As you can see, we have used many "jumpers" or 2x4 plates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
