-DoNe- Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) [pid][/pid] 244D Hello everyone! It's kind of crazy to think about it but it have been 2 years since my last pirate MOC was uploaded to this awesome forum. Of some strange reason I haven't built any pirate related stuff until a couple of weeks back when I woke up one morning and just felt that it was time, time to bring life to my beloved pirate collection. Best. Decision. So.Far. The first place I went to was of course Classic Pirates for some inspiration, another great decison After just 15 minutes of lurking around on the forum I was motivated enough to start the building process, and then I realized I had not decided what to build yet After another fifteen minutes or so lurking around on Brickset I decided that I wantet to make the Eldorado Fortress! I had a blast putting it together. Especially since it uses a bunch of different colors that I'am not used to use in MOCs. Neither could I use many modern technics since I wanted to keep the classic feel of it.

Sebeus I Posted February 17, 2014 A nice clean build, I loved the original set as well but I never had it...yet, I like how you rounded the small battlements platform with the cannon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolonialbeamter Posted February 17, 2014 Beautiful interpretation of my all time favorite Lego set. You captured the 'feel' of it very well, I can't wait for more pictures, and future MOCs of yours! And you made yourself a great birthday present, Happy birthday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tycho McKorley Posted February 19, 2014 Great work. I was actually thinking of doing something similar a while back, but decided on other projects. I think your interpretation is fantastic and pays homage to the original set while bringing modern building techniques to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think your interpretation is fantastic and pays homage to the original set while bringing modern building techniques to it. I would still love to see you do one aswell! It would be really fun to compare two custom models of the same set! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 22, 2014 Very good - and old favourite set of mine (luckily I was able to build it once I got hold of the baseplate) - and this is the appropriate 2014 version! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
