After buying Eldorado Fortress, and not having bought Barracuda Bay when it came out, my brother and I thought about making a pirate build to go up against Eldorado Fortress. After looking at the classic pirates hideouts and forts, we decided upon Rock Island Refuge. So we bought the Redbeard and crewmates from Barracuda Bay off of bricklink, and started building.:pir-huzzah1:

Similar to Eldorado fortress, Rock island refuge can take its classic form or turn into an elongated shape, perfect for displaying.:pir-classic:

The fortress has a full interior including a kitchen, desk for Redbeard/mapping area, a treasure stash hidden under a trapdoor, an armory, sleeping quarters and a prison cell, which can be broken open using a lever.:pir-triumph:

Outside there is also multiple docks with a cannon, a crane, two ratlines on the sides and two rope bridges.:cannon:

Overall, we love the final product, and hope you do too:pir-love::pir-huzzah2:

 

 

So cool. I love that it can split in half for display too. I agree brown bridges would have been nice, but it looks slick as is. I dig it a lot.

 

How much of the actual physical build did you use parts from an Eldorado Fortress set? I love that you really built this. Its beautiful and a great set to put across from Eldorado Fortress, they compliment each other well
