OK this is my first MOC to be posted in the Pirate Forum.  I know it's a cruel, cruel place - full of scurvy dogs and salty tales.  My only hope is that the ongoing Redcoat vs. Bluecoat skirmishes means that this creation can pass under the radar and avoid the scorn and ridicule that it deserves

Anyway it's been a year since emerging from the dark ages and in that time I managed to plunder a few POTC bargains, but I found the sets a little disappointing so after several Bricklink orders and much building and rebuilding I present a Pirate-ridden Quayside.



There's a lot going on so I broke it into a bunch of snippets



It doesn't matter how many fish you catch I you can't get them in the bucket!



Look out below when you empty the nightsoil bucket



Not sure what Capt Jack's done to upset this man!  Maybe the Girl in the window is somehow involved.



Thanks for reading!

Hah!  I like that seagull stealing the fish.

[Grimmbeard]

Very nice! This deserves to be...

This is most exellent! I and REALLY applaud you for for taking the set outside .. gawd I'm so tired of seeing white/photostudios backgrounds

Everything looks good, the photos are wonderfull with a true LEGO colour!

My only critique is that the water is a bit too plain/too 'tiled'. Make some waves/movement

Just super .. if was a set, I'd buy it

[Captain Heineken]

I love it. Nice little scene with a color scheme which fits to the fleshies perfectly.

I had no choice! My workspace area had bricks and pieces everywhere.  I had this one to finish and another three in progress.

Water is so tricky!  I've seen some excellant water effects in MOCs in this forum and I tried a couple of different techniques, but they all looked so lame.  I think in future I'll stick to dry land MOCs

Thanks for the kind words...

[Capt. Stabbin]

Nice job on your first pirate MOC.  Really nice details, and I love that you put a border around it!

[Damaximus]

Great job!

There are technics to have a nice water effect but you have to trial and error a bit

Nice houses and figure set-up btw!!

[Bob De Quatre]

Nice build

A lot of details here, and I love the seagulls

[captain gabe]

Excellent job building this! I know it's not, but that looks like my avatar with the redcoat!
