[Athos]

My second attempt at a miniland scale figure and my first Pirate MOC. Thought it would make Phes' day...

The talented Athos making a Pirate MOC is enough to make an entire week! X-D He's even got a parrot! The pirate that is - not Athos.

What inspired you to make a Piratical creation?

[Capn Frank]

Athos?

Is everything ok?

I hope you'll make it after making a MOC that isn't a vig, cause i don't think we pirates know CPR.

We just cut your leg off and give you an eye patch :-P

Nice miniland fig *y*

The brown epaulets are a nice touch.

[Mister Phes]

Of course Athos is OK, in fact he's just come right as indicated by the creation of this Pirate MOC X-D

[Pirate Maniac]

That's great, he looks just right to fit into miniland X-D

Thanks! I did up the bride and groom miniland figures (stealing Tony Sava's design) and wanted to see if I could do one on my own. And someone over at classic-castle chatroom suggested I try a pirate, so there he is...

What is this miniland anyway?

Unfortunately there are no LEGOlands in my hemisphere...

OK... anyway, Miniland is the main part of LEGOland.. you know that looks like this:

[Mister Phes]

I was not aware of this... Do all LEGOLands have a Miniland or just one of them?

[Pirate Maniac]

They all do, the one in UK has a great one of London, with the Thames, the London Eye, bigben everything. It takes about an hour to walk about.

Wow Mr Phes. I have never been to Legoland either, and I know what a miniland is! :) Back on topic, I have made a few miniland scale characters myself. I made myself, my two brothers, my rabbit, and a guy in a strait jacket. Unfortunately, I never took pictures, and now they are in a zillion little peices, scattered around my basement floor. :S

I'd never heard of minland either.

I've seen the miniland figs before (like George's miniland pirate), but didn't realize there were displays of them at legoland. 8-|

Although i don't think i'll be making too many miniland figs in the near future :-/

too busy in mini-fig land X-D

Edit:

Hey Athos,

is that a sword that the pirate's holding on the left hand?

[Mister Phes]

Thank ye lads for educating me on Miniland, now let us return to Athos's Miniland MOC for more fun and excitement!

[Athos]

Hey Athos,

It is a sword, but he's not holding it. Its actually attached to his hip/belt. It just looks like he's holding it, in that picture.

Steve

[Mister Phes]

I haven't mentioned this but I wasn't sure what the sword was either. Perhaps it would be more blade like if it were made from plates rather than cylinders.
