[MOC] Journey to the Skull Rock

[Tezclatipoca]

Hi fellow Pirates ! Or should I say ARRRRRH !

Here is my take on a "Piratisation" (alright; not a real word, but it's quite a funny neologism... )

So, My "Piratisation" of one of the new Ninjago set : The 71717 Journey to the skull dungeons :

The original set is really Piratey so I wanted to try a real change towards a more piratical aspect of the set.

I obviously removed the lava to replace it by water and I had nearly all the job done.

Some foliage here and there; a Pirate ghost as the bad guy and a gigantic crab to fight and : Voila !

Hope you like it !

Let me know in your comments what you think of it !

I've think it's awesome! I've been inspired to do the same, but one bigger: the skull-face of the dungeon itself is calling my name!

I think what I'll do is replicate what you did, add it to the right of the skull dungeon itself, and use it alongside my upcoming pirate ship MOC as a Goonies-inspired take on a immortal (undead, or cursed?) pirate crew's lair for my Adventurers.

Thanks for inspiring me!

I think this looks great. I was wondering, those 'stepping stones' (modified tiles with 2 studs) almost suggest a sort of game, taking steps with dice rolls. Is that an option? Could we make a pirate game that way?

Nice work, Faladrin - you've put a Ninjago set to good use!

I've shared your MOC in the Classic Pirates Facebook Group.

You're welcome... 

I have the project to transform all the Ninjago serie. So when I get my hands on the Big skull dungeon set sure I'll Piratize it ...

It is already a game ! 

The official set is using the ninja wirl thingy to use it as a dice.

But it's better to use a Real dice instead. So A pirate game with it could be possible.

That's the way to go!  The new ninjago sets seem to be pretty ok, but turned into piraty sets they are perfect!

More!
