legoMoccer Posted March 7, 2020 i have been busy these last few months on many prjects that i will be submitting to lego ideas, such as the Lighthouse and Guard house you may of seen on here, whilst uploading those i noticed that Pirates of the caribbean was once again allowed back to lego ideas, many people have been making ships - which honestly was my plan too but then i thought what was my favourite and most visually stunning scene and for me it was the Maelstrom Duel between The Black Pearl vs The Flying Dutchman so i decided to take a shot and recreating that here in my submission, i think it would make a really good display piece for anyone who is a fan of ships as well as PotC and id like to think it is unique enough to stand out (movie concept art) also an alt version im not sure which i prefer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted March 7, 2020 AWESOME! I'll just move this to the Pirate MOC Forum with all the other Pirate MOCs.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoMoccer Posted March 7, 2020 ah thanks i didnt notice there was a subforum for this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elephant Knight Posted March 7, 2020 Those micro ships are beautiful. A great MOC, however, I see a little problem with it. One ship is going clockwise, the other is going counter clockwise. In the movie (And in the concept art) they are going the same direction. Your ships are going to crash together, and we won't get epic Jack Sparrow moments.

Your MOC would make a fine social media story at some point in the future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Medzomorak Posted March 9, 2020 I myself would submit the half build version. It's better for display and also too many redundant elements are not a positive thing for an IDEAS set. Anyway you'll get one supporter in me ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
