Looks good. A wildly composed crew.

 

It's just my opinion, you can do it what you want:

 

The guy with the pink dragon head doesn't quite fit in with it. It would look better if he wore a hat, headscarf or hair. I would leave off the shoulder flaps on the captain's. He only wears a vest and no coat or jacket. What do you think?

 

Thanks Mate

 

And thanks for the Feedback. Yes the pufferfish-helmet looks a bit out of place. But i really like it maybe because its out of place..

 

The shoulder flaps i may remove. It should be a reminder for himself (the Captain) that some time ago he was in the navy. Like some Nostalgic approach. In my mind they would be very loosly attached to the former uniform (a uniform cut in pieces and discoloured by salty water, sunshine ...)

So after some new recruits came to the crew of Captain "Ursus" (latin for Bear) i present them to you.

 

Not the best picture. I think i will post a updated one next week or so.

The Captain:

Captain Ursus is famous for driving himself into difficult Situations. Here you see him stranded on a little island, behind him a big freakwave holding a grenade going to charge...

The Crew:

His trusty crew. The "Barracuda" behind is only the Placeholder.

Quite good - I like this guy with the tall hat. Has some kind of Voodoo flavour!

Hello everbody!

First of all, this is a GREAT topic!  Building authentic minifigures for the pirate theme is not as easy as it looks like (many hairstyles, clothing types, and hats were not invented yet), and you all did a great job on that! I would like to contribute, too, in presenting my first series to you:

Hello, and thank you! You can of course buy the torsos, and all parts needed. For example on Bricklink (part numbers are given above) or any other online parts platform.

Cheers!

I especially like how those two gentlemen with Lockhart's torsos look. Good job on all figures!

Thanks. Cheers :)

The question was meant, do you sell them like this?

 

[SerenityInFire]

Is that last guy on the right in Sand Red?

To be honest, the guy with the yellow shirt just looks like he's bare chested.

No he's not. He is wearing a yellow shirt as you correctly pointed out. 

But yes, it quite a challenge to have yellow clothing when using yellow heads and hands. 

[SerenityInFire]

At least he's not wearing yellow pants.

[Legostein]

So, here's my pirate crew! 

All figures have been assembled in order to have a "classic" look. In the background you see their brigantine.

Very nice! 

If you ever head over to the Brethren of the Brick Seas forum, you might be interested in a run of hypothetical CMF series we did along a similar vein:

BoBS CMF - Series 1
BoBS CMF - Series 2
BoBS CMF - Series 3
BoBS CMF - Series 4
BoBS CMF - Series 5
BoBS CMF - Series 6
BoBS CMF - Series 7

Thank you!  I know the BotBS forum of course! I am watching what's going on there for over a year. However, I never really understood the game mechanics there.  Anyway how often I read the introduction threads, it is very complicated for a person not involved to understand this. There are so many great MOCs in this forum! I find it a little sad that most of them are not posted in the MOC forum as well. I am sure many people would admire the great builds of the BotBS gaming group.

True, it does seem a bit complicated at first blush, but it really isn't. If you decide to give it a go at some point, check out this thread:

and figure out what faction appeals to you. Then, post your minifig with backstory in the main Intro thread, announce the faction you want to join, and you'll have plenty of faction members who will help you navigate the game mechanics. Typically posting a small ship and a small land-based build of some sort will set you up to start doing everything in the game.

[evancelt]

Agreed, would love to have you in the game @Legostein!

Thank you for the explanation. We will see what time will bring. Maybe you can send me a message, as I don't want to drive this thread to off-topic, which is most popular faction, and which faction needs most support.

Thank you! Time is the limiting factor, as for many things that are fun besides real-life. I have an idea, however, for a MOC that I have not built yet, which would fit in there.

These minifigs are terrific. Great choice of torsos - and even that strange alien torso works out well 

[blackdeathgr]

@Legostein Epic, down to earth and era appropriate minifigs and really clever ship!!!
