A roundabout BrickShelf Find: Port Royal

[Aaron Morse]

Hi all! I was ordering some Lego from Madman's store on BL and I sent him a link to my Heavy Frigate project and he sent me a link to one of his fellow lego junkies who's a member of Byggepladen.dk- the only Danish LUG.

Behold Port Royal from potc

His name is Bo, and lives in Jutland in Denmark. He is a very active member

of Byggepladen.

Have you ever suggested that he become an active member of Eurobricks, because I have questions for Bo regarding this MOC.

[Aaron Morse]

I'll get on the horn with my contact and see if can get him on over here.

It is big! Do you know why it is black with light gray??

[Aaron Morse]

I'd assume he was going for a brick 'n mortar look.

[Aaron Morse]

Yeah, in real life a brick wall are held together with mortar, although mortar is usually white or greyish, after a while it turms darks grey or black.

Hello, Bo from Denmark here. I am the person who is building Port Royal from the film Pirates of the Carribean. The MOC is only 20% finished and I will, over the next few months add more to my creations. It is supposed to look like Stone walls. I am building the model on green plates, 48 X 48 so I can move it around.I trying to build the whole bay area off Port Royal.Any suggestions are welcome.

Excellent work old chap! He should be delighted to know his MOC is getting further exposure and discussion! X-D

Not so sure the "brick n mortar" look is working for me though...

[c.bennedsen]

It is great Bo! But it looks MUCH better in real :-)

I'm looking forward to see it when it is finished!

[Aaron Morse]

Hi Bo and welcome!

Hope you didn't mind me showing off your creation. The scale is impressive and I love the "hanging" pirates right out of the scene from the first movie. How big is this going to get anyways?

Pretty good. Some of the "log" bricks look white and some look light grey but either way I' not really diggin' it. :-/

I think it will look better when completely finished, keep it up. *y*

Hello, the size of Port Royal is not decided yet, but, IT'LL BE HUGE!At the moment, I have started working on the village where the Blacksmiths live.I have so far seen the film/s, over a hundred times. when i do see something I can build, I stop the film and make a sketch. Sorry, no more time tonight, have to get back to building...Bo

[Mister Phes]

Greetings Bo! We're glad you could join us.

Let us know when you have some updates and we'll eagerly discuss them.

[Landlubber]

Niiiice. Cant wait to see a finished product. I'm keen to do something similar. I've just bought a farm and as soon as my lego shed is constructed I can get started.

Keep up the good work Bo.

[Mister Phes]

Every morbid detail is included!

Checkout the hanging pirates!

LOL, I was thinking you mean this with mortar:

[Aaron Morse]

I shoulda been more specific, sorry about that!

LOOOOOK!!! There's been an update - unless I missed this image the first time I checked the Brickshelf Folder.

It appears Bo has crecreated the scene where Jack escapes via the hoist, except I don't see any mini-figure representation for Elizabeth. Where is Bo? We must ask him about this!

[Scouty]

If i recall she should be further back, I think. This update looks really cool! I'm not sure if you already have, but you should put Jack's ship, ahem, I mean what's left of it, in. So far i think Port Royal is looking great!

[Mister Phes]

Where do those wood textured tiles come from (if that's what they are)? And do we think they work?

[El Bucanero]

Looks cool!

I believe they are from the Harry Potter set shrieking shack, unfortunatly they didn't come in dark brown :-(

That would look better....

[Norro]

I would like to know where you got all those lt grey 1x2 log pieces, Bo... I've noticed a lot of Danes seem to have an abudance of this relatively rare piece, is a pick a brick spill responsible X-D ?

God Bless,

Nathan

[Scouty]

It's interesting in how the superstructure is made, well to me it is. :-)

[Scouty]

Hey! There's been another update, I guess he attached everything!

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=203488 last few pics of the folder!

Is it a bad thing to double post?
