Hello to all can't wait to see the nearly finished Island.
Two things definitely come later. A ruin church on the east end near the beach and a Pirateship of course!! :)
On Brickshelf are 30 pictures with lots of views and details.
Here are 16 of them, try to show all aspects of the whole islnd.
If it is to heavy, I will delete some of them.
Now its dark outside, but tomorrow I want to make some pictures of the detail opening on the left side of the mountain. In this you can see the tunnel down from the mine entrance to the cave.

Amazing! This is definetly gonna be frontpaged! The secret tunnel is a nice touch and the detailed houses
fit in perfect. My favorite building is the one with the red roof, I cant wait to see more from you
Excellent job!

[Emperor Claudius Rome]

Wow, this is the best port i've seen (Bonus points for it being pirate )

That looks amazing, MayDay! The buildings really go great together, and the terrain is excellent! This port design will really help me with mine. Amazing work!

[BlueBard]

Really impressive job, specially because of the huge size of your island! Great detailed structures here and there (even if I recognize some inspirations from other pirate builders, but I would be too hypocrit if I would criticize you ), beautiful places like the rock mountain or the captain's home and a lot of possibilities if you want to enlarge the town in the future 10/10

Amazing work maydayartist! Frontpage stuff indeed. Potentially the best harbour MOCs I've seen, certainly up with Z's fort. Tops mate!

[Raven Brickroft]

It's beautiful. It's a simple layout, with lots of character.

[Phred]

Great work Mr. Artist!!

There is so much detail in all of your work!

I love the gallows, the fishermen, how nicely integrated everything is.
The cannon wall is simple, effective, and nicely done.

All it's missing now... ...is a shrubbery!
One that's nice, but not too expensive.

It's...Beautiful...

I have to say, that is one of the best executed ports I've ever seen, and I particularly like the signal fire in the harbor. Also, the way you've chosen to do stalagmites and stalactites is very cool, and surprisingly realistic for LEGO. Also, the noose is a realistic touch, but I doubt they'd leave the corpse in the sun like that (you could pull the "pirate" card here), as it would make for an awful smell.

With a nice white picket fence. (Just call me "Roger")

Great! And it's huge... love all the little details in there and the unpolished look of everything, like the roofs on both towers.

[frontbeast]

Great GADZOOKS! This is one of the most impressive MOCs I've seen in a while.

The layout of the island kind of reminds me of this game I play occassionally... Curse of Monkey Island.

Well there are similairities but the islands are quite different.

[Commodore Cheng]

Very cool ! Super Detail. Thumbs up !

[brickzone]

This is astounding! I love the scale of it, and the detail is very attractive and evocative. Some details are simple enough and yet used to great effect! So many things seem very doable (compared to some insane things that some builders do) but yet it is the imagination and knowing just what to use in each situation that really makes this! The sheer amount of little design choices that fit perfectly is impressive. Also small things really add to the appeal of it - such as the stone buttresses on the building (SNOT 2x2 plates with curve and 1x2 studs). I couldn't believe it when I saw there was a tunnel and cave also! The buildings on the waterfront alone are a fabulous scene.

This MOC makes me want to go disassemble a bunch of my MoCs and start over and build a new scene! I don't know if I could achieve something as convincing even though I might have the parts for it.

Well done indeed!
