The log of Captain Silas McShea:

As we passed the south-eastern tip of Holders Rock, we saw a fleet of ships in the distance sailing south down the eastern coast, set on a course that would intercept our convoy. It wasn't long until we could make out the black Jolly Roger flags and their purpose was evident. We immediately changed course due south hoping the winds would favor us and we could outrun them and after several hours it was apparent that the pirate ships were falling behind. By dusk we no longer could see their ships on the horizon, so they must have given up the chase and turned back.

EXTRA PICS:

Just beautiful. The micro ships are fantastic and the landscape is really good. The tower is a neat feature too. Good work. :classic:

As others have already commented, this is a fantastic mirco-build! Great way to tell your MRCA story.

Really neat microbuild. I like the differences between the two ships, plus the fact that the pennants are flying in the right direction. This island is a nice addition and adds some interest to the ocean. Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments everyone! I really couldn't think of any other way to show this scene as minifig scale would have to be really huge...pirate_satisfied.gif

Well, Mike, once again you show us that thinking outside of the box can give some really nice results! Is it the Black Marlin? pirate_blush.gif

The rocks are great, polished by wind and weather, as is the lighthouse and the ships, obviously! The effect on the first picture is pretty nice (for the "painting") but it is also nice that you included the clear pictures afterwards. pirate_satisfied.gif

Great work!
