I should've worded my first post differently. I meant that TLG would probably use the boat piece for simplicity if they released a set like this. But maybe not - they have done several brick built hulls in recent years. And due to the simplicity of the original, I pretty much expected a brick built hull for this when I saw the title.

The lunacy of the original set was half the fun. That and the rare plain bicorne. Nice remake. The hull shaping is good, although for the sake of simplicity in an official set I think you could use the standard boat and just replace the full cannon with the howitzer - if you had room for the 2 men, that is.

[OFFICIAL] 10320 Eldorado Fortress - Available NOW
Captain Dee replied to Mister Phes's topic in LEGO Pirates
On the one hand, this looks like a pretty cool set, but... On the other hand, when the only offerings are remakes, it feels like this theme is dead. Somehow I can't muster much excitement. In 5 years maybe they'll do a reimagined Armada Sentry. That would just be glorious. -
I loved the original and this remake is cool too. You've managed to stuff a lot of details into the available space again. I didn't watch the video, but it appears the floor is ingots on plates? Cool technique.

Interesting set design and fun crocodile concept. Looks like a fun play set.

Two years of independence for the Commonwealth
Captain Dee replied to Bregir's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Ok, that staircase is just beautiful. And the rest of the build looks quite nice too. Love the fiddlers on the roof. Wait. Those aren't fiddles. -

Go home, Mr. Chat. You're drunk. Tell me more about the famous Oleander, Count Mesabi of the Westface Trading Company. -
[SR - FB] Courthouse in Bastion
Captain Dee replied to TomSkippy's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
The courthouse looks nice and the guillotine is a great design, but the real star for me is the courtroom scene. It's fantastic. The minifig designs and poses are just about perfect. -
@Robert8 After recently acquiring multiple copies of the Rococo Aristocrat I remembered your French Queen from past years and came back here to make the comparison only to see that @Eggyslav has already done it! I like your colors slightly better, but I'm just glad they made something similar. Your original design is still great. Historical accuracy notwithstanding, I like the official hairpiece better only because it's monocolor and will work with other outfits. And congrats on all that you did with this project.

[COR - FB - Royal] Quinnsville Royal Arsenal
Captain Dee replied to LM71Blackbird's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
You scurvy dog, you beat me to it. (Something like this has been on my build list for... several years now...) Fantastic layout. I like the overall view and the interiors look great, especially the floor patterns. And of course the detailed work stations are nice. I really appreciate the effort you put into the boring assemblies. Excellent work all around! -
Here's a pirate town from the forums. Is something like this what you have in mind?

[COR-FB] Whisky Distillery, Wullham
Captain Dee replied to Bricksbypidy's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Welcome to the forum, the game, and the faction. This is another beautiful design. I like your architecture so far and the ground textures are nice. The inside lighting and background really bring it to life, and the hat blown off with that hairpiece is excellent. I would love to see an interior pic sometime if that's possible. I'm also curious as to what you're using for your renders. They're not quite as photo-realistic as the best that I've seen but they're still extremely good.
