"Redbeard's Escape"

Playing around with older LEGOLAND torsos to recreate iconic pirate figures

[thewatchman]

I absolutely love this!

 Very classic feel, and the sand and water look immaculate!

This is almost an optical illusion where you don't know in which direction the figures are looking/moving You can only tell by the hats and footprints.

I love the look of the palm tree trunk! I've never seen that before! i was wondering what green part you used for the small plant?

[evancelt]

The green plant is using a new shoulder armor piece

[Legostein]

Excellence in simplicity.

This almost feels like a "what could have been" - a world where Lego's techniques developed and advanced just like the real world, but they never developed the minifigure beyond the Legoland design. It's an intriguing aesthetic.

I love the beach colour scheme, reminds me of that one Paradisa baseplate.

That’s correct!

 I wondered what the colour palette reminded me of! Good spot!

Quite the scene. The use of the ancient body pieces is cool. NPU with the plants as well.

This classic figures bring back memories. As a child I only had those even thogh minifigs were already available in sets (they were hard to find at that time, unlike this classic figures which were more easily available cca 10 years earlier). So, I simply imagined that figures always kept their hands in the pockets.

I wouldn't call it 'ancient'.... Also, I didn't know these 'older' figures were called Legoland figures.

I have those old torsos too - but I never had the idea. Well done! 

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Very cool ...the use of old torsos is totally crazy!
