MOC/MOD Imperial Bluecoat Fort, Trading Post, Coastal Battery

Recommended Posts

Here we have a project I've been working on over the past few weeks. Its a MOC/MOD of about 10 of the new 2015 Imperial soldiers outpost sets, 4 of the Soldiers Forts, and even a set or 2 from the 2009 Pirate line. In the background is one of my 2 Imperial Flagships, and all the sets have been combined, MOC'ed, and MOD'ed, into whats supposed to be a giant Imperial Port and trading center. This MOC is supposed to create the feeling of a very busy, hustle and bustling fishing port that's controlled by the Imperials.

This is my first time showing a MOC here. I hope you all enjoy it, and there is a link to my flickr with over 100 pics to enjoy.

Wow, there's a lot of stuff going on there.

I am impressed by the huge treasure and especially by pic 3 - what baseplate did you use for this?

Yeah, finally that ship's flying the right colors!

Nice combo you got there, I like the 'official-style-yet-actually-useful' concept. And especially the amount of detail you put into your minifigs!

'Female soldier torso' plus judge's wig work well for higher ranking bluecoat personal. Did the same myself. And the idea might catch on pirate_wink.gif

LOVE the treasure!! Must have spent a fortune on these gold ingots. pirate_oh.gif

Gotta continue watching now.

Keep it up!

At first glance I thought the guy in the middle boat was trying to whack the seagull with the oar instead of the octopus. This is a great layout that I'm going to have to spend some quality time studying to get all the little details.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it. The baseplate is one I had sitting around, but I believe its from a town/city coast guard line from a few years back. To those who want to see more detail, and take it all in, I recommend clicking on my Flickr link, you wont be disappointed.

The area with the baseplate is supposed to be the "entrance" to the interior of the island. The harbor master is sitting at his desk with his slave boy at his side. All transactions go thru him, and he keeps his "stash" hidden under the loose boards to the left. behind his desk.

The area all the way to the right, depicts another transaction where merchants are selling whale bones, teeth, and horns from rare sea creatures. Behind the merchants desk, the "prison" cell actually holds stacks of gold for the days transactions. The picture with all the treasure depicts a weeks worth of sales from the port.

The fisherman swinging the oar is trying to fend off the octopus, lol. Fishing life back then would have been a bit macabre.

That's quite a lively 'town' you've made. Lot's of action and lot's of stuff happening. Kinda reminds me of Nassau from the Black Sails series I'm watching.

Btw, I've changed the title of your topic into lowercase (titles in all uppercase are not allowed per our forum regulations)

Thanks for editing that for me Bonaparte, sorry bout that. I won't lie when I say that I am a fan of the show "Black Sails", really any Pirate fan should love it. While I didn't design this layout based specifically on that show, it was indeed responsible for the "feel" of it, and that's pretty cool that you noticed that.

You did a great job with this moc Dunedain!! Maybe you should change a bit the water and put some transparent pieces on it to make it more realistic?!

And another good thing: The imperial flagship is blue pirate_classic.gif !

Blue coats for the win!

Thanks for the kind words, believe it or not, that is actually not all the treasure/gold, that I own. In fact if you look at the pics with the transaction containing the whale/sea creature bones, teeth, and tusks, the "jail" cells behind the transaction is full of even more chrome gold ingots stacked up behind the bars. If you look closely you can see the shine of the gold, lol.
