Nice, it's kind of a more modern version of my castle fellowship. All of them are definitely recognizance. https://flic.kr/p/2opByVJ

[Contest] Space Pirates - Back to the Carribean Galaxy!
JimBaggins replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Thanks to the organizers and congrats to the winners! I had fun participating in the contest and seeing all the fun builds people came up with Although I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the voting system, it feels more subjective than having a panel of judges. I felt like I finally produced a build with good enough building techniques and presentation to do well in a contest with my 'rustbucket', but it's less traditional/'pirate-y' style led it to getting less votes from some people. Although maybe I'm reading too much into it -
I made a build breakdown and behind the scenes post on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4RHPUZy9M8/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Thanks for the kind words! Only the one side is built, with the back open. Hopefully I can share some behind the scenes pictures sometime in the next few days.

[Contest] Space Pirates - Back to the Carribean Galaxy!
JimBaggins replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Here's my build for Category C, a flying tugboat: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/197841-spc-cat-c-the-rustbucket/ -
Captain Fishbone wept as he flew over the once prosperous Caribbean seas. His crew had abandoned him, leaving him with nothing but one ship, his modified flying tugboat called the Rustbucket. My entry to the Eurobricks Space Pirates Contest 'Rum for everybody!' category The Ship is based on Bdubs' fantastic flying tugboat Minecraft build in his Building with Bdoubleo series. https://flic.kr/p/2pB76a5

[Contest] Space Pirates - Back to the Carribean Galaxy!

I'm working on a steampunk flying tugboat, would that style fit within the parameters of the contest, or is it strictly space style sci Fi pirates? -
I don't think they have the rights to the book, isn't that why they weren't allowed to explicitly state that the white haired dwarf in Rivendell is Gloin?

MOC I built for Brickscalibur's far east Elegance and the Iron Forge round 1. Whenever the stresses of life at the court become to much, the samurai Minoru loved to retreat to the mountains to contemplate and relax. He just stood in the shallow water staring off into the distance deep in thought. I wonder what he was contemplating. This build is a bit more stylized than I usually go for, with bright colors and a bit of forced perspective. https://flic.kr/p/2prXErt

Latest impact of other themes on historic themes
JimBaggins replied to Wardancer's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I've developed a different strategy for searching for specific characters. It's possible, albeit tedious to check inside the blind boxes to identify what Minifigure it is. You stretch open one of the top corners a bit extra, hold the box above you and peer through the hole while shining a flashlight into it. You can shake the box to get a new piece by the lower corner, and use the colors/shapes to identify the minifig. It's easier with lighter colored characters, but you can definitely see specific colors and printing. I used this strategy for the boxed marvel Minifigures, but I imagine it will work just as well with the new series. -
Thanks! Those were the first parts I came up with, and I built the rest of the characters around. These orcs are meant to be cute! :D

I made this pair of smol orcs for Orctober. https://flic.kr/p/2p8xcnq

The new modular has some nice parts; I'm glad to see olive green masonry bricks return, and the white tri-leaf could prove useful. -
It's possible the helmet and plumes could be molded as one dual molded piece, that way they wouldn't need to make 4 different new parts. Although that would make recolors harder.

I love how dynamic and detailed the moc is. These Minifigures are top notch!
