Fabio venni Posted June 24, 2023 Hello there! this is my first MoC, started when the barracuda Bay came out, it was on and off a 3 years project about 150 hours I think, no idea how many pieces. Bad initial set of images for receiving some feedback. How do I promote this? any chance I could enter a contest with this, I guess is too big for Lego Ideas, right? Skull copied blatantly from https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/2d3f47a4-66c9-4f41-92ee-87ccc9fbf2df/application/a545424c-6b49-4a9a-a7a1-3ebcb39a4c67 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marooned Marin Posted June 24, 2023 This is one gorgeous MOC and superb way to sail-in introduce yourself to the pirate community. So many great details on every picture, I love it, especially the angled layout of the harbour. Do you have one wide-angled image of the whole build where we can see both the harbour and the skull (without the ship)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabio venni Posted June 24, 2023 Thanks a lot! I will try to post better ones soon! Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yperio_Bricks Posted June 24, 2023 Wonderful diorama! There are many fun details. The pirate villa is great and i really like the skull island and the path under the palm trees Only the ocean looks a bit to uniform imo. Maybe just add the 1x2 tiles randomly and mix in some 1x1 plates where needed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spacedude studio Posted June 25, 2023 Amazing work! The alley with the palm trees and stones is so cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evancelt Posted June 25, 2023 Hello - the images aren't loading for me. Is your host perhaps having issues? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yperio_Bricks Posted June 25, 2023 The pictures are loading but there are many and the file sizes are really big and add up to quite some mb. Takes a long time until everything is loaded for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had this feedback many times, I like it to be flat, I tried many different patterns but ocd kicks in, I need some tessellation math, I tried to make a wave but not up to standards…yet 7 hours ago, Spacedude studio said: Amazing work!

I’m sorry, tomorrow I will try to post some better compressed pictures I downloaded a picture for testing and it had a whopping 14,7mb! I think it is better to post pictures with less than 1mb.
