Hi Everybody 

 

Should we make a final push before the Trading Outpots expires on Lego Ideas ? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/01016b9e-4de9-420d-a7ff-55471f96c451 We still need more pirate themed sets. So vote for the love of the almighty gods of the caribbean !! :) 

I have been busy for a while.. And later this year I can tell and share why :) Have been builind a lot but not on my pirate projects, and my crown is also on display in Legoland Billund. So pleny Lego-things overall. Sadly not much on Eurobricks. But now I,m back :) 

The project is ready for the Skærbæk Fanweeknd in the fall and it will be on display with plenty other projects and off course the pirateboi and the soldier. So I hope that I will see some of the members from Eurobricks.

Actually this is the most playable build i have made for a long time and still love the details and secrets. Will use some off the ideas in my next projects.

We can try!

But unfortunately you're not even to the half way point.  You're not even half way to the half way point.

In fact, you've only just crossed half way to half way of the half way point.

We might be able to make a blog post within the next 90 days.

@Marooned Marin, do we have someone who can work on a blog post for this before it expires?

Realistically, if there was another Pirate Submission to cross the 10K mark, it would be this.

I think it will. But sadly its to similar to the other projects he make. But its good and a new take.

Ahoy @Piraten how good to see you back where you belong :pir-huzzah2:

This is good looking build, and even if it's not even half way to the half way point it's a long shot to reach next milestone, this certainly deserves to be covered on our fine and much beloved blog, regardless of the current LEGO Ideas status.

Yes, @Mister Phes, someone will take a stab at this ASAP.

If I remember correctly, this project was doomed from the start on LEGO Ideas, they first rejected you due to the too much similarities to the Barracuda bay? (yes... the similarities are just staggering)

Aye, that memory is correct.

But that was a couple of years ago now and in the time since, they've stopped using that reason. Is it because we made some noise about the fact Imperial creations are vastly different to straightforward Pirate creations? Or did they arrive at that realisation themselves? We may never know.

Best we continue to make intolerable noise, who knows, maybe they do bring back the Pirates.

@Piraten I have a question: what does this button brick do? Is it a way to open secret gate inside?

Yes its a secret treasure chamber. The old guy is just hiding all of the gold. If you look in the treasurechest there is a coin or two.

@Piraten

So by pushing the bricks the front rock-wall opens?

What happens when you push this brick? :pir-classic:

The door inside will just slide away. In the other end of the build at the canon the is pin popped out that you can pull and use to press the door back on place. 

I think the photos is on flicker. will find them later.
