Jalkow Posted March 4, 2013 Hi everybody! I'm here to show my latest pirate-MOC: Captain Jimmy I built this for a contest over at Forbiddencove.com: in this socalled 'Pirates Part Plunder' we get two weeks to build a MOC using a seedpart. This round, the seedpart was the minifig crowbar. I immediately got the idea of building a beard with the crowbars, but since I hadn't done any sculpting before, I was afraid it might be very difficult. It was actually a lot more fun than I thought. The name Jimmy is a wink to the crowbar, ofcourse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickington Posted March 4, 2013 Very nice! You used some interesting pieces in there. What are those pieces for his beard? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jalkow Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) @Brickington: it's the minifig crowbar that is mentioned three times in the openingpost ;) Edited March 4, 2013 by Jalkow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManInATopHat Posted March 8, 2013 Wow! Great work, this seems like a weird thing to build. Highly imaginative and attractive. Nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axle Posted March 11, 2013 He reminds me of this painting of Van Gogh, by Van Gogh, I especially like the way you did the collar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jalkow Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks for your compliments, I appreciate it a lot. Wow! Great work, this seems like a weird thing to build. It really was! Especially building the eyes was a strange experience: when I tried an expression, I took a step back to see if it looked good. That took a while. He reminds me of this painting of Van Gogh, by Van Gogh Thanks! I can see what you mean, the red hairs of the beard look a lot like the technique Van Gogh used. That's funny actually, how a building style and painting technique look the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Volt Posted March 20, 2013 Love the "crowbar beard" that he's got there. I like the hat design too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
