rmcwmn Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 This my version of the mini set. Being a pirate survivor on the open sea is a struggle between life and death. Survival of the fittest. Managed to grab some supplies just for the trip until he can safely set foot ashore. In the meantime the pirate needs to pull out all the stops for staying alive! The set is build with exactly 30 pieces Quote
iragm Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 I like it! Clean and simple, just what's needed, no more, no less. I would like to see a couple more pics if possible, just to see the techniques used for the mast, and what provisions the pirate has managed to plunder. Quote
rmcwmn Posted August 14, 2023 Author Posted August 14, 2023 Thank you for the reply. The mast is brick build based of an 12 long technic axle. Further a few modern pieces hat we have today. I'll show some pics soon of the pieces used. Quote
Mazin Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 Lovely! Nice set of elements and colors, Black boat corresponds nicely with his own outfit, and that box full of supplies is a simple, but realy cool idea to bring more life and playability into it. That sail is kinda placeholder till the proper piece gets produce tho, i guess? ;) And think that You could perhaps sacrifice one element from a box to add someting on the bow of the boat, like a simple figurhead that would bring color into all that blackness. A red parrot perhaps, if it would fit in there. I can't see much on this single photo, but i do believe that cover on the barrel could be the first piece to go if You'd like to consider this suggestion. Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 Another nice small vessel set. I think there could be some more brown or dark brown thrown into the mast to add some contrast. Also I'd put the flag on a bar for the antistud on the top looks a bit out of place. The shape of the sail looks nice but I'd try using some fabric or bricklink one of the Silent Marry ones. This one looks like it's made of a too thick paper or some other stiff material - like the TLG plastic ones no one is a fan of ... (: Quote
rmcwmn Posted August 15, 2023 Author Posted August 15, 2023 https://tinypic.host/image/x1a.af6aOhttps://tinypic.host/image/x2a.afQwk The color department can use a bit more variation. But most of the time I'm somehow limited to the pieces I have at the moment. About the original cloth sails They are too expensive. It's actually nappa. Quote
Rogue Redcoat Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Another great small boat for the contest, my only suggestions are adding a rudder to the boat and perhaps another oar so he can row properly, other than this Happy building :) Quote
durazno33 Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Is that a blue or a black boat piece? The lighting is really low. Maybe brighten up the picture. The top flagpole holding the jolly roger is a bit too long as the jolly roger sticks up a bit too far. Maybe consider getting a shorter pole to hold it? Quote
