[MOC] El Dorado 6276 (one year later)

Recommended Posts

About a year and a half ago I posted about my mod on the original El Dorado 6276 set and I also talked about my love for classic lego, classic lego catalogues etc. For more on that thread follow this link:

But let's get back to a year and a half later aka now. So I was adding bits and bobs trying to make it feel as a part of a lot bigger caribbean bluecoats port City and still remain true to the classic feel of the classic lego catalogues, hopefully I managed it. Try to enjoy the photos and give comments if you find room for improvement (of which there always is):

The complete overview of the El Dorado City-Port-Fort:

Close-ups of the docks:

And more or less the same bunch of gold digging pirates at the beach:

Caribbean Clipper is now Caribbean Brig and on top of that it has changed colours! Now it's a Redcoats ship which is moored for trading:

With an added bonus of monkey Island easter eggs:

(yes the kegg is filled with grog and yes Palido Domingo has a map on his back)

Cheers :)

I like it very much!

Honestly, though, the thing that struck me the most was the parasol :-)

I like the hustle and bustle of the place, and the ship feels very classic-y as well.  Lots going on there, as should be the case in a busy harbor.

I'm surprised to fins so, much detail and activity in such a small space. I think, in a good way, you've gone far beyond the classic feel. As for anything missing. I can't think of anything, it all seems rather complete to me. I like the guy in a barrel too, there's always got to be a guy in a barrel. :laugh:

This looks very good! You paid a lot of attention in creating little scenes which makes your city/outpost look very lively and appropriately colourful. Just how I would expect the  Caribbean around that time. I also like the loose translucent pieces for the water. That creates a wonderful glittering effect with nice colour transitions. :classic:

Sadly both monkeys were resettled to the pirate island which I 'll be featuring soon, once I plant another few palm trees on it. But a good idea, could do a monkey stealing treasure scene :D

Thank you, still trying to do more little meaningful scenes to make it all look logical :)

Thank you :D had my doubts about the castle. Wanted to make it look childlish but still recognizable of what it is at the same time :)
