Another fine reimagining, Mister Goodman!

You've got the 2009 red bricks combined with 2015 Soldier flags - but are they custom torsos I spy?

Very nicely built. I like the rock with the different plants and the palm tree. The tower with a battlement at the bottom and at the top is of good architectural style.

Looks great! Your 'greenery' looks is fantastic and the brick build walls are a nice reference to the originals.!

[Capt Wolf]

Great reimagining of that set! I really like the tree and the vegetation details (both green and brown) among the rocks. Well done!

Can we get a better look at the boat?

And that would make a fine fort for someone were you to post in it the BoBS forum (especially if you replaced those bluecoat soldiers and flags with some other color).

Nice details, I like the vegetation and the water especially!

Agreed - would love to see this in BoBS! Great build

Wonderful

[Ratshot]

Very nice recreation of this set👍 

I like how you used the brown bricks to show the exposed clay in the construction of the actual tower. Your sea rocks/shore line cliffs turned out very nice as well.

 

Again, great work

Great stuff. You have successfully teleported Sabre Island into the year 2021!

Thank you! I will definitely get some more photos of the boat when the build makes its way to the BoBS forum and I absolutely agree, I think Green will look much better don't you? hahah

According to the LEGO History: LEGO Pirates article on LEGO.com, the blue coat are indeed French.

Alongside the Pirates are Governor Broadside’s blue-coated troops whose task it is to fight the Pirates. These forces are based upon the French navy and marines of the colonial era and are known as ‘Imperial Soldiers’ by fans, though they are explicitly identified as ‘Governors’ in some countries.
