WIP : pirate thingy

[Grendelego]

Last update -> http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107350entry2182065

This summer I get my hand on Black Seas Barracuda and Caribbean Clipper and it make my wanted to do a little diorama with them.

With the recent wave a pirates, the urge to do it was strong so I started the project.

I wanted to do an Island, without a real blueprint in mind. I started to do some LDD test for the rocks and the beach, the I do the first stage.

I can only say: "Miau, I will get the rat"

Looks great!

Hi there,

wow, this is looking real good already. Nice rockwork, the texture of the walls is well executed, nice beach formation, great details at this stage. I think the water still lacks the same level of excellence. And the doors (and windows) look a tad too modern, imo. I'd swap them for latticed windows and custom wooden doors.

Looking forward to see more of this

Best regards,

KB

What KolonialBeamter said, I'd change the modern windows and doors, but looking good already. I love the beach part, I hope you add a drunken skeleton with a nice bottle of rum leaning against a palm tree with a treasure map at his side. And some custom seagulls?

Regards, Cpt. Edward

[Grendelego]

Thanks for the coms.

For the windows, I've tried rounded ones, but it doesn't look good on the thing I want to do with the "facade" (basicaly, shape of a skull, so the windows will be the nose).

Doesn't tried for the side, and I only have them in white, I don't think it'll look good)

I don't see how to fit well a brickbuild door (I've tried, but my LEGO are still poor for that).

Excellent!

This build will also work as a fine tutorial!

[LittleJohn]

Looks great so far!

[clm]

This is what LEGO needs to make.. Pirate era modulars! lol

It looks awesome, I would happily top ramen it up for a week or two to buy that set :)

I really like where you're going with this project, and I look forward to seeing more of it. You've also given me some ideas for ways to improve my own pirate tavern, which I have finished several times in the past few years but never managed to get just right.

What really interests me is how easy you make it look - like your beach, it looks amazing and easy, but I've found beaches hard to do, so I'lI be borrowing your method, if that's okay with you!

Thanks and no problems ;)

For the beach, I did a lot of test on LDD to see what'll looks like, then I took all my sand plate and wedge, and I Started from the sea and add the rock after, but I allready did all the left rock part ;)

Couldn't agree more

[Sebeus I]

I love it so far, especially the cave to the cellar, nice bar .

[2maxwell]

Wow, this is really nice. I love all the details. One thing though, I can't shake the feeling that this is like a pirate themed modern restaurant. I think it's the doors and just how nice the bar is haha.

[Grendelego]

Thanks all.

I'm almost done ;) Some things to change but mostly put people in it ;)

Amazing work! I love the texturing Excellent rockwork too

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Ah, I had not seen the update to the original WIP post.

Fantastic.

I am already awaiting your next MOC

[Grendelego]

Thanks ;)

I don't know what I'll do next, maaybe somethine related to super heroes or LOTR. Certainly another building (as you can see on my FLICKR, I like doing buildings ;) )

But to do another big project, I'll need to dismantle this one (or buy more LEGO ;) ).

[steentje]

you should buy more lego :D....nice built!...it's always frustrating when you have to break MOCs down for new projects (or because of space (lack of))
