CaptainDarkNStormy

Thanks!!!

These are all some great looking rafts!

Thank you!!! 🥰 Thanks! I really spent a lot of time on the rock work! I added that little sand bar just to have something besides water in that corner and it turned out nicer than I expected. Thank You! I had lots of gray slopes and wedges I wanted to put to good use 😂

Update! Version 2.0 is out! I remade it more in line with my other MOCs utilizing trans blue tiles for the water. The rockwork is all SNOT built now. Other suggestions from some of yall were implemented as well. Rock Island 2.0 Rock Island 2.0 Rock Island 2.0 Rock Island 2.0

Noice!

I hope all of y’all keep building new pirate MOCs!

Update! I made it out of real bricks.

Thanks. I might have to scour Bricklink for a good used one now. This one I never had as a kid. If you want this one, I'll have instructions made and loaded onto Rebrickable by the time the contest is over. Yeah you're right about that DBG Slope. I'll have to swap it for an LBG one. Oh good call I didn't even think of using one of those. I'm not sure if I have one in white but they're cheap on Bricklink. Thanks! Yeah I should go ahead and do that. I'll look better and more consistent. Thanks! My son always swaps out minifig pieces so everything is mix and match now. I tried to keep them in line with the crew of the original set. Thanks, and if you really want to build it stay tuned to Rebrickable. Thank you so much!

Thanks! He learns from the best Those are brilliant ideas! Thanks, and yeah I never build anything that good as a 7yo either. He definitely used some varied vegetation for realism. He LOVES those masonry bricks though. I got a few cups from a PAB wall last year.

Yes I love those too. I typically use them on my MOCs despite them not actually fitting in the cannons. Thanks, and yeah it needs a fig! Those would be great additions!

Love the comments ya'll!!!

Yet another entry by my 7yo 'Lil Stormy. This little half abandoned fortification is called the Little Ripper.

This is the second entry of my 7yo son 'Lil Stormy. He's dubbed it The Golden Ship. This is a Bluecoat vessel laden with riches found in the New World.

I'm entering this build on behalf of my 7yo son. We'll dub him 'Lil Stormy. He has observed and helped with the creation of my Rock Island Refuge and wanted to join in the fun. He's titled this one "The Lizard" despite it not having an actual lizard. He's edgy like that lol. Anyways it's a detailed little cliffside scene of an intrepid individual in search of treasure on an unexplored isle. Many dangers abound both on land and in the sea.

Yeah my wife suggested the crow's nest so the rope ladders and top bridge had a "destination" for the pirates to reach. I'm glad she thought of that. Now that I've had a few days to digest what I built, I kind of agree with the rest of your critique. My original thought was to leave some blank areas to have places for mini figs to be positioned or played with, as this is supposed to resemble a proper set and not a pure MOC. After looking at it though it does have an empty feel. Same thing with the greenery. I felt like it looked more lush in person than in the photos.
