Skipper Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) 181B Thanks to Phes for the awesome background. Hello, After taking apart my ITP for a review, I decided to try MOCing something else rather than rebuilding it. The result is this Imperial Outpost, built in the classic style. Two cannons, a drinking area (), and a small dock. Front: Back: I hope you like it! -Skipper Edited December 21, 2011 by Skipper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Roger Posted September 6, 2011 great MOC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really love it...i only suggest you changing old 1992-1995 redcoats for 2009 redcoats...i think new redcoats look better. I really love it because that MOC could be a real lego set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ardelon Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Neat! It does look like it could be one of TLG’s own sets, elegant and simple. I’m not really a fan of those oversize MOCs you could fit a ship into, I prefer the slightly unrealistic "official" LEGO scale. Good job! Captain Roger, I respectfully disagree on the new Imperial Guards; though I admit the back printing and printed shako is an improvement, i didn’t see it as necessary. Furthermore, this is meant to be in the classic style, as Skipper writes. Edited September 6, 2011 by Ardelon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Posted September 6, 2011 I like this very much; as the other two posters have said, this would be believable if you posted it up as a 'lost' official set from the 90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks everyone! I actually like the new Imperials over old, the printing is so beautiful. However I associate this bright yellow/red colorscheme completely with the older figures, so to me the new looks out of place. That being said if this was built with tan/dark blue yes I would use the new figures. Edited December 19, 2011 by Skipper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain BeerBeard Posted September 7, 2011 This is awesome! I think I built almost the same thing when I was beardless and non alcoholic drinks where my drink of choice. What program did you use for the background in your first pic? Lookin' good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hartfan Posted September 7, 2011 Very simple but so nice. Love it. Great work ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Becker Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Simple, Classic, Small and Easy build= Fantastic! Ijust love the feel of it. Abd the photoshopped picture is just lovely. I think this could have been an offical set. Great work! Captain Becker Edited September 7, 2011 by Captain Becker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weil Posted September 7, 2011 Nice work! Like others say this could have fitted in seamlessly as an official set in the early 90s. Nice to see a MOC in the true classic pirates style. Like you I also prefer the 2009 wave redcoats but again like you I think it's much nicer to include the classic ones as they're a much better fit for this MOC. Good to see someone showing off that you don't need to build something complicated for it to still look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjornu Posted September 7, 2011 Looks like a real Classic Pirate MOC! I always try to make my MOCs look like it could fit with the series from 1989/1993. In this case you Aced the feeling. I hope to see more of these Classics From you! Greetz Bjornu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warhorse47 Posted September 8, 2011 Really nicely done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hiawatha Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) I agree also that this looks like it could be an actual set. Edited September 18, 2011 by Hiawatha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted September 18, 2011 This could be a set a few years ago... You have managed to capture exact the same building style! Not many people can achieve that in such a way. This kind of MOCs make me happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel Posted September 30, 2011 I like it so much! It has the great old 90's Pirates appeal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
