[MOC] Spooky Cannon Calamity

[thewatchman]

I’m currently challenging myself to create a pirates 5 collection using the spooky pirate island as inspiration. 
 Starting with:

Spooky Cannon Calamity

Featuring 2 minifigures, and 39 pieces.

All pirate themes to date have included a small cannon battle involving a small wall or fortress and wanted this run to be no different. 
 Any ideas for builds in this “theme” would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a fun project, looking forward to see the rest of your creations.

This set totally gives me 90s vibe, simple yet playful. My only suggestion would be to swap the plates for one piece 11213 (Plate, Round 6 x 6 with Hole) - it would make it feel more "finished"

The round floor plate is a great suggestion, I’ll change that for sure. 
 I’m thinking a raft or small ship, a heroes and villains “armoury” style sets and maybe eventually a skeleton ship.

You're off to a good start!

Spooky Pirate Island badly needed a complete skeleton so including 2023's BaM pirate minifigure is a good choice - but who's the other minifig?

Neat idea for a MOC series and a good start. Spooky Pirates is definitely a theme I wish LEGO would explore more without the PotC license. 
One thing you could do is to expand the GWP island into a full pirate hideout like the big hideaways from the 90s. Next, the spooky pirates need a pirate ghost ship! I’d also like to see what an imperial fort or outpost that is overrun by these pirates would look like!

A few minor mods to make it look a little more modern.

I really loved the 2023 skeleton pirate, absolutely deserved it’s own build!

 The pirate is “Mr kidd” due to his youthful appearance. I think a few core characters like monster hunters would be cool; including a truce between a pirate and imperial characters against the skeletons.

Looks good! Ye captured the essence of a small Pirates set. Well done!
