X Marks The Spot! by Walter Boy, on Flickr

Upon reaching a patch of land inside the cave, the crew got out and dug at the specified location, hoping to unearth a trunk of treasure. Eventually the crew members dug far enough and hit a solid object.

"Treasure!", they all exclaimed.

Captain Bananabreath commanded it be opened. After the lock was shot off, the treasure chest was opened. At last! Treasure! Gold! Riches beyond belief!

...Or so they thought until the contents of the chest were revealed to them!
"Bananas?" they all declared, perplexed and dazed.

"Oh yes! Rich, golden, delicious bananas! These are the greatest bananas in the entire Caribbean, ripe and ready to be eaten. A fair share for all the crew members! Eat up me hearties!" replied the Captain as he enjoyed the spoils of his treasure.

Well, that's the end! Rather short and sudden, but I hope you've enjoyed it. This entire process was rather short, taking (off and on) 2 weeks to build all the scenes and roughly 1 week to photograph.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to follow it. :jollyroger:

Nice, I love the expression on the minifigures' faces, spot on :pir-classic:

Edit: btw, I see you also posted this at forbidden cove, It's a bit awkward to post a comment there too, considering I already said it here :pir_wacko:

apologies

I knew it had to be bananas. Too bad for the crew they weren't golden bananas.

Which chest-piece is that on the mini-fig with the green cap? (His face kills me! :pir_laugh2:

He's so disappointed with that banana.)

The torso is an IJ Cairo thug torso.

The expressions and posing in this MOC are great!

I now possess a depressing, and largely unexpected, absence of ideas for what it is that I could write in this space that would encourage, inspire or amuse any man, woman or child who takes the time to read this drawn-out and mindless drivel. I remain painfully aware of how this same passage could have been written in a far shorter and simplistic manner, whilst still maintaining its message and key purpose to all who take the time and effort to exercise their mind in understanding these words; however, this would barely give me half as much pleasure as the satisfaction that a large number of members on this website will soon or late find themselves working through this increasingly large collection of rubbish at least once, perhaps even twice if they begin to forget its contents. I hearby grant myself 500 bonus points for every unfortunate victim, now and in the future, that takes part in the aforementioned psychological experiment by bothering to read this huge tosh, excluding the numerous times that I myself have trawled through this... mess. Woah, I got a bit carried away there, that short message has transpired rather differently to how I was predicting it would. Actually, the bigger the better, I might as well increase its size even further by adding a long, torturous final sentence that is only as unnecessary as that whole lot of stupid, pointless waste of time was to both write, re-read, proof-read and then open for viewing by the general public. Have a nice day, folks!
