    Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it! and I thought A blind bard would be a fun detail even though I know its the wrong century for him to be performing his epic poems

    Thank you so much! I am so happy they did not disappear into the plants I greatly appreciate it! and it is really not too complicated at all just parts intensive Thank you so very much! I really tried to create that dark ominous feel associated the conquest of the Americas and I am so happy it was noticed Thank you so much! I always appreciate it! Im very happy the conquistadors look in the water as opposed to on top of it I was worried when I first began the build the illusion would not quite work I am always so grateful for the frontpage thank you so much! Thank you!

    I am always so appreciative of these! I have to ask however, does it really look digital? I know my pictures can end up a bit blurry but... hahaha Thank you so much! and I am very happy you think so those took quite a bit of tinkering over the years to figure out

    [MOC] Arrival in the New World, Central America 1500s

    A_Goodman replied to A_Goodman's topic in Pirate MOCs

    I absolutely think a smaller ships as a test is a great idea, something along the lines of the the Nina or even the Santa Maria might make a good ship for the Conquistadors at a smaller scale than a full sized galleon. Thank you so much, and I actually have a builder called Faebricks to thank for that water technique it truly is so good

    @Rogue Redcoat @iragm @Marooned Marin I thank you all so much for the kind words, I will definitely reupload the photos of the the build soon

    No apologies necessary in the slightest, this was a conclusion I came to on my own, I just figured a contest in which the MOC style is allowed but will be actively stressed as not what is intended for submissions to the voters wasn't the place for the build. As a matter of fact I am happy you strove for clarity for everyone entering the contest so those yet to submit their incredible builds will be sure of what is being looked for in their submissions.

    [MOC] Arrival in the New World, Central America 1500s

    A_Goodman replied to A_Goodman's topic in Pirate MOCs

    Thank you so very much and I actually started one a number of years ago, as you can see by the photos I did not get very far and I realized the approach I had chosen was not going to work long term so I had to scrap it. I hope to one day soon start again and hopefully complete it. La Mariquita Bow in Progress by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr WIP Spanish Galleon by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr And actually I totally agree with you about the olive green tree sticking out within the 'jungle' area. Initially I was just going to use those green/bright green plant pieces but it was a little to empty and by the time I needed to fill the gap, the trees I have with dark green leaves were a bit too large for the space and I didn't want to completely restructure the jungle as it was super delicate and time consuming, but I already have an idea for another MOC similar to this one where hopefully I would be able to try out a few new design styles for a dark and dense jungle I have thought up since I finished this one.

    I figured it was in the best interest of the contest, it seemed to really rub some people the wrong way.

    Thank you so very much I certainly did, as a matter of fact it is a small early version of the design with one im more proud of being in this build, if you are interested. Also my apologies for missing your comment, the base curves because I used 4 16x32 baseplates connected only by 1x2 bricks covered in 1x2 tiles, and it seems the tension created is just too much for the base plates to stay flat, I tried adding long support bricks but they were very distracting under the trans-blue tiles and i figured they were not worth it simply to limit the curve.

    As it unfortunately seems my submission will become a casualty of these rule clarifications I wanted to quickly present an argument in favor of my MOC style remake of 6292 Shipwreck Island. Although it seems that all entries are supposed to be in the LEGO style, as is clear by the images above 2 out of the first 3 examples presented for category 2 of acceptable remakes, shown on the first page of this thread, contain brick-built bases utilizing a parts intensive water design fairly similar to the one I used. Compared to the image of the build in the center which is reminiscent of the recent Pirates sets, the two using the tiled water technique would never be considered Official Lego style yet were prominently shown as potentially acceptable submissions, had they been built during the period of this contest. I argue that my submission does exactly what the contest intends it to do "show [LEGO] how it's done" or at least how I wish they would do it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    I so greatly appreciate that it means a lot, and also thank you so much for clarifying the contest rules and requirements, I am grateful to learn I didn't totally miss the mark! I completely agree especially as the original set used that standard green color for the palm trees, unfortunately I keep my very small collection of palm fronds in that color in a bag and was not able to locate it over the course of the build process. Thank you very much for the suggestions, I actually had looked into somehow submerging the boat into the water but the 2 or 3 designs I had tried really looked quite strange so I figured it was better to leave it on top despite its somewhat out of place positioning. As for the extra pirate, interestingly enough it is an updated version of a third minifigure included in the original set from 1996 that for some reason was left out of the box art photo, just one of a few mistakes such as the green pants on the Armada soldier which were actually gray in the set. I too am not huge on the brick built sail style, unfortunately my original cloth sail from the set has become a casualty of time and I was not able to find it for this recreation. I had considered the Silent Mary Sails however I convinced myself that the vibrant red and white striped sail was such a defining characteristic of this set that those more realistic dark tan cloth parts would not bring the same nostalgic familiarity I was going for.

    Thank you so very much! Thank you! and there is a hint of a beach back there I will try to upload a photo showing it soon The ones with monkeys are very good hahaha this one could have definitely benefited from one! I so greatly appreciate it! I really appreciate it! and it seems I somewhat missed the concept for the contest as I never thought of doing a build 'lego-fied' but instead as all out as I could. Either way despite not being able to win I am always happy to get in the mix of the awesome pirates community. As for the stability of the ship it is surprisingly sturdy as it has a strong spine running along the length of the ship, the only truly fragile piece is the bow section above the crocodile head which is truly attached by one stud but luckily it holds pretty well.
