[Mister Phes]

First familiarise yourself with Brickster's Wizard's Challenge.

As I have limited castle pieces I decided to improvise with using Pirate pieces. For the workshop I created a pirate equivalent of 6020 Magic Shop, perhaps not a very original concept but given all the things I need to get done I don't really have the time to dream up some fabulous. :'-(

[oo7]

Nice castle/pirate custumation, I'm sure it's acceptable plus it's creative and looks good. I like the Piratized Castle set too. X-D I made my wizard the other day and also gave him Piratical influences. You know what they say; great minds think alike.

But remeber, he needs a name to be entered into the contest.

[Mister Phes]

I called him Captain Majisto in the competition. But maybe we can come up with a better name in this thread.

[oo7]

Oh. Somehow I missed that. :-$

So you're not happy with Captain Majisto? The first thing I would do is forget about 'Captain', seing he doesn't have a ship.

[SirNadroj]

Very clever- yours could win 'most creative', but it would have to beat mine! :-P

[Bonaparte]

Looking good Mr. Phes. You've made the first pirate-wizard.

But the wizard seems trapped on that little island since I don't see a boat.

[SirNadroj]

Bonaparte has a point. Give him a little boat with a dragon for a figure head!

[Mister Phes]

I can't really add more to it because then it would depart from the original concept of being the Pirate equivalent of 6020.

Besides, he can easily cast a spell and shrink himself small enough for the parrot carry him :-D

[WesternOutlaw]

A pirate wizard! Only your doing Phes.

[Mister Phes]

It was your inspiration that gave me the idea Mr Brickster! Without it there would be less pirate wizards in this world.

I think it's actually pretty good.

[Mister Phes]

I'm just wondering if I struck a the right balance between pirate and wizard. I tried various combinations of heads and legs to get the optimum apperance, but unless I said he was a Pirate would anyone realise it was supposed to be one?

Surely there's been at least one wizard with peg leg in past X-D

[Asuka]

That

I don't think so- but you've always been rather creative.

[Mister Phes]

You lads write such nice comments but to be quite honest I don't think I've been very creative in terms of LEGO designs this year. For this MOC all I've done is ripped off a Castle MOC by removing the Castle elements and added the Pirate equvialents.

The baseplate is just perfect and adds up to the overall nice atmosphere. *sweet*

Yeah, that's one of the major deviations I took from the Castle set. I thought it would really set it off rather than using a yellow plate.
