[MOC] Redcoat Caribbean Fort

[AxelE55]

Hello Eurobricks, this is my first post! Built a Redcoat fort using some of my bricks (had to do some parts of it in a less than optimal way due to piece shortage) 

As you can see i used large tan BURPs ontop of two 32x32 baseplates to build the "island" that the fort is placed on. Next goal is building a small port/harbor on two baseplates near the stairway leading up to the fort :-)

Welcome to Eurobricks AxelE55! And what a pretty little piece to strike it out with too. This is reminiscent of the older pirates sets that predated my Lego experience, but you've capped it off well with a variety of earth tones. Don't get me wrong, green's a terrific color, but it's satisfying to see more than grass on an island. (No offense, Captain Green Hair!)

Keep on building!

I am a huge fan of the classic Pirates line, and this MOC is both a great build in itself, as well as a hommage to the Lego sets of my early youth. Lots of details to take in, while the overall structure is well layed out and believable. I love it!

 

I am looking forward to that harbour you mentioned, as well as more from you in general.

Wow thanks guy! Your comments made my day 

Will be sure to share it all with you when the whole project is done! And thanks for the photo upload tip!

Welcome to Eurobricks! Very nice classic-type fort. It looks like a fun play piece, especially with all the cannons  . The detailed BURPs make a nice base and the towers look neat in the two-color design. Overall it looks like it would pair well with the classic sets. Good work.

Thanks for sharing. I love the classic colors.  

I had moved this topic to the Pirate Mocs Forum.  Please share future MOCs in this forum.  Thanks.

Makes me want to dig out my prefab walls and make a fort to... Well done

I love it. Simple shapes, bold bright colors reminiscent of the 80s pirate line, good stuff.
