Boomchil Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) [pid][/pid] 245C UPDATE : Hi, at least it's finished! Here are the pics : Hope you like it :) Old post : Hi everyone, and welcome to my very first MOC! In fact, I've never been able to create something good looking using Lego, so I've decided to start from something already existing and create a Maxifig (based on the official 3723 one) of my favorite minifig ever : captain redbeard. However I should have chosen a different one since his head and torso were actually quite hard to render. Still I'm quite happy with the result : As you can see, it's still waiting to be built, this should be done before 2014 hopefully :) The torso is made from SNOT (to the left and to the right) and SOT, this alone took me many many hours, and it still has to be optimized. I hope you like it, feel free to comment :) Edited March 9, 2014 by Capt. Stabbin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickington Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Nice!, Surprised you couldn't make good looking things. Can't wait to see it in real LEGO! Edited January 17, 2013 by Brickington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captain gabe Posted January 22, 2013 I agree with Brickington! it is far better than i could do. (I mostly collect, im not a too impressive builder ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickPerfection Posted February 14, 2013 That's really well build and the proportions match exactly to the original minifigure! I'm surprised sbout so few comments since I believe it's not really possible to build a much better maxifigure. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomchil Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks for your comments. I was going to buy the parts to build it but unfortunately some of them don't exist in dark orange color (1x1 plate), I've got to find a way, change colors or wait till Lego does it... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomchil Posted March 2, 2014 Hello everyone! At least it is finished! I'm not really good at MOCing (it's my first MOC ever) so I'm sure there is quite room for improvement, any comments are welcome :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Stabbin Posted March 3, 2014 This is an awesome first MOC! The proportions are perfect! Great job! [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolonialbeamter Posted March 3, 2014 This is so fantastic, everyone should have one! Have you concidered making this a Cuusoo-project? Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomchil Posted March 4, 2014 Have you concidered making this a Cuusoo-project? Thank you. I'm not sure about making it a Cuusoo project, it would never hit 10.000 votes :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted March 4, 2014 Nicely done! You went pretty detailed on torso and face, I'd like one of those as decoration in my room . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunman Posted March 5, 2014 What a lovely MOC!! Givf for my room :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolonialbeamter Posted March 5, 2014 Seems, there are already some potential supporters for a Cuusoo project. Seriously, I understand if you don't want to go through all the trouble. But I think he is iconic enough to meet a large fan base. And in the end, you never know. Another idea is to ask at a local toy store, maybe they could be willing to finance one for a public display. Think about it. Again, great work. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DChizhon Posted March 27, 2014 GOOD WORK!!! I love this MOC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Posted April 6, 2014 I absolutely love this MOC. If you don't fancy going down the CUUSOO route, is there any way we could convince you to release the LDD file? I'd love to build him. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Townsend Posted April 7, 2014 You did a excellent job recreating Captain Redbeard. He is my favorite classic fig and I would love to have one of these in my home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted April 11, 2014 That is an awesome creation. I have considered building certain characters at that scale, but never got around to it. Just recently getting back into my Pirates love, this is really impressive. I'd love to build one, but I don't use LDD. But it would be neat to see how this was created. How many pieces did you use? How much did it cost, approximately? Thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomchil Posted May 18, 2014 Hi. Sorry for the late answer, I didn't see your post. It has about 2500 parts, and its cost was somewhere between 150 and 200€. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanduay66 Posted October 31, 2015 Hi Capt. Redbeard, wonderfull Maxifig you are! We'll need to introduce the new word MAXIFIG. I also create a fe maxifigs, based on others and change the way I want it to look like. Would you share your digital model with others who want to build capt. Redbeard too?
