Well, after some weeks of work here it is my Harbor MOC! Thanks to everyone in this forum who has helped me ;-)

ENJOY:

Oh, and by the way, do you remember my "three dead pals"? Try to find them in the harbor! *skull*

Please, comment! >:-)

:'-) That is amazing! Great work. >:-)

[Cpt. Pegleg Blockbeard]

I found em all, he he sneeky, made me look at all the pictures didn't ya...

GREAT WORK! to see it through development into this great MOC! well done hold your head high your first big MOC is also you first big MOC success

My Favs are the guy about to be robbed, nice camera angle ;-)

The guy chopping down the treasure, although when he does cut it hes going to have a head ache :'-(

And obviously the poor trapped general banging on the floor for his dear life X-D X-D *wub* X-D X-D

[Mister Phes]

Oh yeah!

Some more frontpage MOC material! I'll be sure to examine this one more thoroughly after 40 winks.

[Bonaparte]

This is absolutely stunning.
How long did it take to complete this Harbor city?
It looks great. And all those details make it even better.
Especially I'm thinking of the accordion (never seen that before in Lego) and the guy who's pissing :-D

[ZCerberus]

Very nice indeed!

I like that there are several building all with their own color scheme and purpose, and yet they all still fit together nicely.

I have never had a MOC make front page news, so if Phes adds yours, you should consider it quite an honor!

I see that the buildings are all labeled in the title of each picture, but perhaps you would like to tell us a little about the function of each building, your reasons for adding each one and what you like about each one so we can all enjoy your MOC a little more!! A little "walking tour" of the harbor for our enjoyment!

I hope you keep up the great MOCs!

As you are the pirate MOC expert, all your MOC would fit well on the headlines of Classic-pirates.com.
It's never too late. Wouldn't you agree Mr. Phes?

That's a good idea. I would also like a tour in this fine harbor.

Incredible! I must admit, early on I had my doubts, but you clearly had the vision to pull it all together in the end. *y*

I love the fact that you managed it in very non-traditional pirate theme colours, yet it works well. I also love the huge variety of minifigs used in the project and the way that they are used to depict scenes of daily life. Wouldn't it be tacky for me to mention that some of those decals are mine? Yes it would. That said, I absolutely love seeing them used, it makes me very happy! *sweet*

Thank you for creating and presenting this incredible project, and I must continue the theme here and request a tour of your work, there are a lot of fine details that need further exploration.

[SlyOwl]

Wow! X-O I need to go big now! X-D
I can't find those skeletons! :'-( Guess I need to do more Where's Wally? *sing*
However, I don't think the roof of the red and yellow building (and some others) looks too great with a variety of techniques; I would go for an all-plate roof instead, lying on top of the slopes, which fill in the gap. I also see you borrowed MicahBerger's goat X-D

How long will you keep this? Will it be expanded?

Only there isn't a frontpage... ;-)

Thumbnails with a description would do well! Alternately, in the BS folder you could add a number before each of the picture names, so they will go in order as you would view them, not alphabetical ;-)

I actually didn't notice that any were decals until I went looking for them! :-D I guess you've got a steady hand! *y*

Hey! Thanks to everybody for your comments! *sweet* I didn't thought you would be so fast!

I agree, I'm going to add some more pics and, as many of you have said, make a quick tour on the buildings and scenes (which are a lot of them inspired in other MOCs... :-P)

By the way mr.SlyOwl I agree with you too when you say the roofs are not very great but I was really out of bricks so I improvised what I could... X-D but I don't think that find the three skeletons would be so hard 8-| Try to look closely *skull* Oh, and I hope your comment about spaniards and goats would not be offensive... |-/ LOL

This MOC won't be expanded but it will have a second part: "The Pirate's attack" If you look well, excepting two mini-figures (my avatar, for example :-) ) you don't see any pirate in the harbor, and you see an admiral looking for something in the horizon...

Thanks for viewing! >:-)

[QuartermasterRobert]

This is great. Good use of decals, almost professional, and all sorts of characters, from drunks to a lawyer to adventurers to even a pastor. Very good.

[Asuka]

A very fine harbor scenery indeed, with interesting and varied buildings like that neat tavern and that distinct fort with its
charming lighthouse and really great and well placed MF characters. An original and striking creation! *sweet*

[kaboom4]

Wow, great job for your first MOC! Saddly, I cannot fin the three dead guys.

[Benk]

Impressive! *wub*

It has a really nice feel to it, well done *y*. I can only find 2 dead guys though 8-|
I am actually working on my own port at the moment, but it won't be nearly so big (in fact it only has 3 buildings X-D )

Anyway, great MOC! keep it up
