Thats absolutely amazing that you did this with only pieces from the original set. The patience and detail here is of the same quality as non-part-restricted MOCs. Unquestionably impressive!

What a beautiful design! Really appriciate the more solid-color facades that use a clever combination of parts in order to achieve an intricate texture and depth, your creation here is fantastic. Also very nice to share that arch technique; I've seen it done elsewhere but not utilizing those L-shaped tiles like you have to support the whole thing from the backside and make it as solid as possible, that is most excellent. Wonderful creation!

Glorious MOC in a revival of an old and rarely done theme! That angled tower section really makes it and the whole architecture (especially interior), fauna and style is simply awesome. Fantastic creation.

Very pretty and great photography and review. But why did they make the tree light up. gaaaaah we sssshould make the treeee lit up toooo

That is one sweet facade. The upper floors subtle gap-less protrusion is most excellent. As with your previous builds one must look closely to see the absolute mastery of parts and SNOT techniques utilized. Very clean and classy creation. Fantastic MOC!

Love Town/City builds like this. We're hyper-modular-centric here so its always awesome to see big builds outside that convention. The pool and half-submerged minifigures are especially excellent as well as the modern exterior facade. Great work protein shake brah.

...and also piracy!

Thanks Kai. Brick sails can be tricky to pull off convincingly so I'm glad you like that result. It appears as though I've peaked! Lots of ideas but no time to build. Need you to take the ship's wheel; I'm going overboard!

Epic first post!

That is without question one of the most realistic aircraft I've ever seen built in Lego. Some of the hardest things to recreate in this medium are the flowing, almost entirely rounded and curved shapes of airplanes and this thing looks like a scale model that you also managed at minifigure scale. Most impressive and amazing work!

Everything about this is pure awesome. Adorable and fun creation. Fantastic building!

Artificial scarcity in the Minifigures theme. By invitation only products. ಠ_ಠ

That is simply put gorgeous, along with your other mosaics. I love the color palette you have chosen; its warm and easy on the eyes and the mosaic has the perfect amount of necessary detail without going into insane-piece-count-scale. Outstanding!

Even if one isn't familiar with the source material (which I am not) anyone can appreciate that this is a fantastically awesome creation of a downright massive build. Those curved sections are amazing; without question MOC expert. Most excellent building!

Incredibly wonderful. Without a doubt one of the best angled facades ever created; such a smooth transition combined with a mastery and knowledge of parts that you combined for a truly gorgeous creation. Well done, one for the ages!

This is so good its like official architecture set quality. Great use of a wide variety of pieces as that is one complex structure to recreate at small scale. Fantastic work!

This is one of the most accurate Japanese style architecture I've ever seen done in Lego. Absolutely outstanding creation!

Jalemac builds regularly go big! Such a pleasure to see and always an inspiration. Beautiful slice of a city; this is what Lego Town is about! Fantastic creation as usual.

Thanks Aliencat, I've always been intrigued by multi-hull vessels and thought why not make a pirate-themed one! Thanks Carebear, the sails were critical to the build and it was nearly abandoned until that sail-plan. Thanks! Yeah I felt it needed something more than just the boat. Poor guy abandoned in paradise. Thank TLG, the scattered tiles felt like short cutting it but having enough pieces for fully-constructed water is a bit cost prohibitive. Glad it works as a representation. Thanks! Yeah definitely different from western aesthetics; I almost went with a "junk-rigged" sail plan but didn't want too much a Destiny's Bounty feel. Thanks Aurore! Yeah they need some companionship during long stretches at sea. Thanks! Yeah it was a really organic build so I guess I subconsciously took inspiration from a number of vessels and aesthetics. Thanks Anders T. Yeah I can see that aesthetic, the hull build was really just spur of the moment and getting outside my normal styles. Glad you like it! Thanks Maxim! Yeah I felt it needed some armament but thought the big minifigure scale canons would cause it to lose buoyancy Thanks Fairfang! Thanks friend! Thanks! Yeah I went with more of the lots-of-smaller-pieces for texturing approach and hoped I didn't overdo it. Thanks for the kind words! Thank you NOD! Thanks Garmadon! Yeah I wanted to do something different. Was considering a trimaran but didn't want to be too Waterworld-y. You are far too kind, thank you! Thank you all so much. Far too kind. I'm glad you all enjoy it and I hope it inspires everyone to make their own pirate themed creations!

I believe its "Unkars Brute" from Star Wars Jakku Quadjumper set. Sorry for late response.

Lol dang it. It appears that I did in fact describe this hypothetical builder (who's definitely not real nor myself conveying any personal experiences) as 'very simple'. Its one of the great things about this international forum. Even though the primary language is English there's still so much that can be learned about other people, places and customs through both the discussions and creations with Lego.

It was probably just my fault as I haven't gotten anything at a lego store since, like 2019 or something. I don't even remember. But I was getting some Duplos (yeah, I said Duplos) for someone else and then stood there with a not so bright look on my face as they reminded me; they probably thought I just crawled out of a mineshaft or something.

You taught me something new (I had to googles it!. Naff! Yo that ish is naff. I'm not very good at this. LOL!
