Legoking Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Make a space/pirate ship and have the pirates wear space gear also. Quote
Oky Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) I was planning on making a space pirate ship sometime myself, and here are some ideas I had: Instead of the jolly roger, the space pirates' logo could be the flag of the trolls from the new castle line. It looks kinda like an alien jolly roger, just without the crossed bones. Just as well, the troll minifigs are easily adapted into a mean alien race. Simply add some pirate gear and you'll have alien pirates! Differently shaped minifig heads can be used to create aliens, like the heads of the Harry Potter Goblins and House Elves or the Werewolf from Lego Studios. The Bionicle minifigs can be turned into aliens/robots as well. Try switching their heads with evil-looking skulls. This way, you'll get terminator-like looking robots! The Exo Force robots can be turned into space robot (pirates) too. Try switching their claws with weapons, like chainsaws. If you switch them with flames, it'll look like they have flamethrower arms! Substitute cutlasses with lightsabers. Substitute telescopes with the futuristic binoculars from Star Wars. Substitute cannons with laser cannons. Substitute firearms with those from Star Wars or Classic Space. Substitute eye patches with bionic eyes, like those from the Agents cyborgs or that of Ogel and the Evil Wizard. When you look through Brickshelf for inspiration, look up 3vil MOCs. With their skull-based design and dark color scheme, they have quite a piratey feel to them! This is it for now. I'll post again if I have some more ideas. Edited November 22, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote

Well, yes, of course. But since they are obvious aliens, I didn't mention them. Killer Croc and Scarecrow (or at least their heads) make for interesting, mean aliens as well. And Mr. Freeze and Doc Oc are excellent cyborgs to use! Or how about using Batbrick's fire swarm creatures as aliens : How is your space pirate gang coming along btw? Quote

Cool! But steampunk and lasers? That does not compute for me. I mean, isn't steampunk all about Victorian era stuff? I don't recall them having lasers back then. Three on each team? Isn't that a little small for a whole pirate crew? Why do you have two different teams anyway? Are they just two different kinds of space pirates or are they two rivaling factions? Why don't you use some of the parts from the Agents line? Those would be perfect for space pirates! You have almost all the sets, don't you? Something like Jasbrick's K3-Rmit in EVA Suit could be a nice addition to one of the teams as well. Some clarification and some pics would be nice. Quote
