Love your schooner. I'm also working on a schooner at the moment and I've been struggling to get just the right color scheme. I've been studying original schooners for months now and still can't make it look the way I want it, but your Miss Elizabeth has inspired me to jump back into my work. Thanks for sharing!
-
I just plain love this ship. It combines the classic lines and forms of the original ships in TLG Pirates line with some amazing modern techniques designs that make your creation so very unique. Well done, sir!
-
I love the random Storm Trooper.
-
I was lucky enough to be able to get both of those ships when I was a kid, but my collecting faded during the 1990s, and there are a lot of sets I wish I'd been able to get, like the Imperial Trading Post. Some day I might hunt down the instructions and order the parts to build it.
-
This scene is gorgeous and amazing. You've officially blown my mind.
-
I think I actually like it better than the official set! Is there an interior below decks?
-
As a matter of fact, yes, yes I DO like it. One of the things I've been enjoying is incorporating my 2009, 2010, and 2015 Lego Pirates sets with my Pirates sets from the 1980s and 1990s, and I love seeing scenes like the one you've done here that bring back so many old memories, as well as give me ideas for new set-ups. Marvelous work!
-
I was lucky enough to get the Eldorado Fortress and BSB when I was a kid.... but there are a lot of things on your moc that I actually like better than the official Eldorado Fortress! Great job on the details!
-
Amazing! I never would have thought of the colors you used, and they work together perfectly.
-
I agree with the comment about how seamless your landscape is. This is very well done. One of the things that struck me the first time I looked at this was the shadows under the palm trees that make it actually look as though it's deep in the jungle. Again, very well done.
-
Your landscaping is superb - well done! This whole scene made me giggle.
-
I could not have said it better than this. Your little fort has some great playability, and it will stop a cannon shot, so what else would one need? Well done, thank you for sharing, and keep building!

Some of my pirates asked me to ask you if some of your pirates would like to go on a date with them.

[MOD] 70413 The Brick Bounty in Imperial Bluecoat
Plaid Beard replied to banshee3's topic in Pirate MOCs
Excellent work! The Bluecoats always have been my favorites, and I've always wished they had more firepower on the sea. -
Comic Good day to one and all! So this is my first MOC posting that I wanted to share. I picked this because the first post I ever saw on EB was a pirate comic, and I just saw another one today that I enjoyed. I made this late last year while designing a new Lego ship to build, and I just felt like making a comic to take a break and have some fun. I apologize for the lighting on this, I know that it is too dark on one side. Thanks, Plaid Beard

Amazing work! I'm a big fan of the scene you've done here. I'm really impressed by the way the building flows from room to room.
-
Thank you, everyone, for the comments and encouragement. I have a few more comics in the works, but mostly I'm focusing on my ship-building. Hoping to have some pics of my Bluecoat frigate up soon!
-
I love this ship. I've been struggling a bit with the top masts on my own ship project, and you've given me some great ideas here. Thank you for sharing your work thus far. I'm very much looking forward to seeing it finished.
-
I put together these greencoats last year as riflemen. They don't have coin bags, but they do have very tall hats!

Hello, everyone! My name is Mikey (aka: Plaid Beard), I'm a preacher, and I live in the great state of New Hampshire, filled with mountains, rivers, and wilderness. When I'm not outside hiking, I'm building Lego. I've been collecting Lego since I was about 5 years old, and I still have nearly every set I've ever had still built. My favorite theme remains the Pirates - I still remember how excited my little brother and I were when we first found out TLG was releasing a pirate theme. My current MOC projects mostly are sailing ships, but I do a few side projects, as well. Thank you for having me on this site, and I look forward to seeing some great MOCs! Plaid Beard

Posts like this make me love this forum more and more each day. If I don't finish my latest ship soon, my first post may have to be a comic I did last year.
-
Lots of amazing detail on this ship. I think you've done something very unique here - part of the reason we build our own ships is to add our own character and style to the original design elements of TLG's ships, but your design steps out much farther than any design I've yet seen and sort of reinterprets building Lego ships in a way that is highly imaginative and quite visually appealing. Well done, sir! And thank you for sharing.
-
Nice little scene. Building smaller MOCs is a discipline I wish I had - you've said a lot of things in such a small project, and you did it well.

MOC/MOD Imperial Bluecoat Fort, Trading Post, Coastal Battery
Plaid Beard replied to Dunedain's topic in Pirate MOCs
At first glance I thought the guy in the middle boat was trying to whack the seagull with the oar instead of the octopus. This is a great layout that I'm going to have to spend some quality time studying to get all the little details. -
That is awesome! That sort of design could be use to build mini carracks.
