That is a just perfect scene! *wub* Great find.

[Mister Phes]

Does anyone know how to contact Jcasterman?

This MOC is worthy of frontpaging on Classic-Pirates.com!

[Asuka]

A lovely work full of nice and charming details, thanks for that find, Captain green hair! *y*

[Shadows]

Absolutely beautiful, great find! Someone really does need to contact this builder and get them over here if they aren't already.

Looking at their other work you get a very professional, well polished feeling from the planning, construction and all the way through the photography.

English Pirate Port On! *y*

[Joey Lock]

I saw that ship a while ago actually its a nice cosy pirate harbor.

I reminds me alot of the port of Tortuga on the online pirate game Voyage Century.

Its nice *sweet*

[Hinckley]

Great find Captain! Thanks for sharing. *sweet* *y*

This is a smart little layout. It would be great to see LEGO produce a modular village for Pirates or Castle that could achieve this effect...

[El Bucanero]

Great find and thanks for bringing this to our attention!

The tudor style buildings are a very nice change from the white and yellow millitary buildings.

I gotta love those details, like the cart, all those crate, and especially the shark-fishing pirate! :-P

I wonder why this isn't discussed?

Where not all as fast as you Green hair! :-D

[Chenben]

Wow, pretty town !

[Capn Frank]

Great find Cap'n! *y*

Added this baby to the Land-based MOCs Index.

I *wub* it!

I saw this a few days ago but forgot to bring it up as I thought this had been found already. Not, so it seems. Oh well, maybe next time.

And I have to agree, excellent harbor scenery with nice detail.

[Captain K.]

that looks very good.

a little like a pirates village in old Europe.

and very beautiful details good I find it.

[Bonaparte]

Holy cow! This is just fan-megablocking-tastic!!!

This is most certainly worth the front page of Classic Pirates.

But maybe it is better to wait until the new contest has been headlined.

Too much great pirate news... what a luxury.

Great find Cap'n !!

Wow. Just....Wow. Amazing!

[Norro]

Ohh, ahh, really evokes the feel of Lego's comic! Nice find! I like the mix of architecture and tapered design.

God Bless,

Any word back from him yet?

[SirNadroj]

I've seen this before. An incredible MOC. I feel that it's unique because not many people do harbours in that tudor-style. It's superb! *wub*

Hi there!!!

My name is John (jcrasterman is my nick)... I'm the builder of "The Black Anchor"

It's very nice to see that you like The Black Anchor... I'm very proud of it.

Sorry about my poor english, I will do my best.

So, my name is John and I came from Spain.

I'm a Lego fan since 1975 (the year of my birth *sweet* ), and after my "dark ages", I return as an AFOL since 2000...

In the past I have build some castle and train scenes, as you can see in my brickshelf gallery. I have never done any pirates MOC until now, but I love this theme too...

I'm member of the spanish Lego user group (Hispalug), where I post this scene for the first time. You can see the post here (sorry spanish only, but If you like, I could make some translation, hope good enough)...

I have been "out of lego" world the last 3 years, but now I have return again with new "strong".

Now I'm working on a new diorama (castle theme this time :-( ), but I have spend so nice time in the build of "The Black Anchor", that I'm sure I will done other Pirate's diorame soon... I will post here too...

many thanks for your feedback...

Welcome to the forum John!

I took the liberty of posting your MOC, it deserves a good discussion!

Have fun here!

[ZeekyBoogeyDoog]

Welcome to Eurobricks, Raster!

Very awesome port X-O ! The tavern and lighthouse are my favorite.

[Siegfried]

Hi there!!!

Thanks for joining Eurbricks. If your new castle diorama is as good as this one it will be worth the wait! *wub* I like your Santiagos Gate castle.

I'm a Lego fan since 1975 (the year of my birth *sweet* )

You're about the same age as me! *sweet* (Your English is great too!)

[Col. Whipstick]

Now that thing looks hot!

Given the Tudor architecture it would have to be an early English colony, circa John Smith of Virginia, Jamestown deal. It also looks very neat, the more cramped building and dockyards might imply the English hadn't worked out that it wasn't the Plymouth dockyards anymore and now they're in the New World they can build out a bit and there's time to breathe :-P

But someone must have put a lot of work into it.
