Tycho McKorley Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Hello Eurobricks/Classic-Pirates, This is my first post on this message board so if I break any normal conventions typical to this site please forgive me. I recently finished photographing a large fortress I made last summer. I have named it Fortress Redband because of the red band that encompasses the fort just below its crenellations. Anyway, here are some pictures (note that the pictures are links to larger images): This is just a general front shot of the fortress. And here's a general picture from the back. One of my favorite rooms is the dining hall. I also like the kitchen (with the woman screaming because of a mouse). The prison is also a favorite of mine. I tried to include a lot of details like pirates running from soldiers, monkeys in trees, and more. Let me know what you think. I'd love recommendations for improvement (although at this point I think I'll just tear the fort down and try harder next time). Thanks for reading most post and expect to see much more of me soon. Here are links to the fort's Brickshelf and Flickr folders: Brickshelf Flickr I recommend visiting the Flickr page because I went a little crazy with photographing this thing and it doesn't fit well on Brickshelf. -Tycho McKorley Edit: Shoot, I posted this in the wrong forum. Would and administrator or moderator please be kind enough to move it for me? Edited June 23, 2010 by Tycho McKorley Quote

Keep ypour eye on www.classic-pirates.com you'll be seeing this there soon. I really look forward to that! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I see Big Cam has beaten me to blog it. So all what's left for me is to move this topic to the MOC-forum. This fort is amazing, it is very detailed and all round just a very good build! I also like the studs I see everywhere, it gives the MOC that nice classic feeling. This fort looks like it is solid as a rock, and hard, if not impossible, to conquer. Good job and keep building! Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Welcome to Eurobricks! Your MOC is awesome! So large and with so many details I especially like the small cannons, the dining table and the ghosts Great job! Quote
fenris Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 amazing awesomeness... i really dig this. thx for posting... massice moc but still ver detailed... the force was with you! Quote
Aquolina Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I prefer the prison with the ghosts, nice work Quote
Skalldyr Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Great at all! I really like all those details packed in..... Quote
thelast Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Welcome to forums! Amazing work! So detailed, looks like a real fortress from back then. Keep up! Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Welcome. I love the fort! The design style is very nice and the amount of details in this creation are awesome! Are you a pirate fan or is this just a singular creation you had to make? Either way, it is most excellent! Quote
Tycho McKorley Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 I am indeed a pirate fan although Castle is my first love (blasphemy, I know). I figure that this fortress is a good hybridization between the two themes. Quote
Dan the Brickman Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I am indeed a pirate fan although Castle is my first love (blasphemy, I know). I figure that this fortress is a good hybridization between the two themes. Hey, im a cross builder too. As long as no M#g@3l#*** garbage gets in there Im fine! My main focus is on castle/pirate, which I often have integrated.(with a few ninjas in the background). ...and then i also do starwars. Those are the priority lego stuff for me... Anyways, i like it! My favorite is the dining room, and there's that hat sitting on a rack, or is it a candle/light-fixture? Welcome aboard! Arrg! Quote
Skalldyr Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Ohh, and I forgot,....Another great fort, for us Redcoats. That makes it even better! Quote
Cpt. Dan Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Really awesome from beginning to end, every bit of it is detailed. Looks awesome! Thanks for posting this up. Quote
TheCrimsonTrooper Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Ohh, and I forgot,....Another great fort, for us Redcoats. That makes it even better! You know Skalldyr, I must agree with you there. Perhaps Tycho Mckorley is a Redcoat under those blue wizard robes. Quote
Hound Knight Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 This is indeed an excellent fortress, all the details in it really make it stand out. One of the many features that stood out to me was your technique for the partially submerged crocodile, I might have to borrow that sometime. Your fort will also be a fun challenge when we Bluecoats decide to capture it. Quote
Brig. Brick Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I'd love recommendations for improvement I could stay thousands of years looking at every detail of the MOC , and I can bet that there is nothing else to improve This MOC should staying in a museum, is completely amazing Quote
Fires-storm Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Such....high...levels....of...detail...words...failing! But in all seriousness, excellent work on this mate, and the pirates in the tunnel about made em fall out of my chair laughing. Good work Quote
Sir Charles Walter Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Excellent MOC Love The Fine Landscaping Design! Quote
BrickClick Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Very nice work! And it has a full interior this is just coolness! Quote
Tycho McKorley Posted July 5, 2010 Author Posted July 5, 2010 the pirates in the tunnel about made em fall out of my chair laughing. Well thank you. That part is always a hit when I display it in real life. Quote
Gurbert Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Great breathtaking MOC mate, 11/10! I'm truly impressed with the details, so I got to come back several times to this :) Quote
