that's a good thing but I have to ask something !
Are steampunk and post-apoc "sci-fi" themes, or does they belong to the "other" Category ?
btw, great moc based on the cafe corner! ^^
-
that is.. GREAT!
I love it , it looks very cool and industrial, the interior is awesome too ! but there is a detail that bother me, I didn't see any stairs to go where there is the man with the hat ( I think it's the boss ) , how did he get up there ? XD
-
all these nics modules, both the lego's original and your moc put together are great ! nice little display, I wish I had a windows like this one!
-
That's very cool, I think that with the good colour scheme it'll be an amazing ship, and it modularity makes it an awesome ship ! Keep it up !
-
Oo it can contain a lot for a truck of this size, great job !
-
big and nice ship, nice work ! I like the pool section too^^
-
huhuh, that's an awesome find Teddy, it can help you in your build^^ but I want to see yours, because I'm sure it'll be as beautiful as this one ... if it's not better!

I think that's 2 arches with a 2x2 round round dish inserted where the arches are empty, but I don't know how he insterted this inside the phone without cutting the studs on the arch Oo
-
that looks great! way better than the original sails! great job on it!
-
Very cool creation, I love it feets , and the fact that it's kind of "modulable" make it really great!
-
hey they're very cool !
I'm in love with the cockpit, looks great!
-
huge and cool ^^ great job , can't wait to see the upcoming update of it^^
-
nice review of a cool Set tom bricks, I love the last picture, very funny ^^
-
How did I miss this so cool little scene, thanks to the RSS I saw it !
Lovely scene Zorro, I love the black chains , remind me where I used to live, there were the same thing!
There is also a lot of action going in a little space , but without looking to messy, wich is really cool !
Oh, and the tiled wall ( the one who goes on the sea, I don't know the english name^^ ) is really cool too
Great job!

I don't see how this relates to History and Adventure.It s supposed to be a kind of undead creature in a medieval/fantastic MMORPG ( WOW ) I think It fits the theme perfectly !
nice creation, looks a little " square" but that's ok ^^
-
Congrats for your new rank Zorro !! ^^
-
saw it on flickr too, that's an awesome creation
I want to say : "as usual" ^^ -

I already saw it on flickr but that's a so awesome creation that I must say here too that it's excellent! I love the buildings, the ship and the scene itself is really really cool... Of course the sail is awesome too!

#1 > What's a title for anyway? ^^
because I asked on the "how I get my title topic" a post asking why does people kept asking about title as it does nothing^^ , and I think the : " ^^ " is here because I use it too often ! ... ^^ !
that's a funny topic Whitefang, nice Idea.
Some of you got really funny titles! XD -
Excellent As usual !
I love it but you had to break a sword to make the sword coming from his mouth, it's quite sad!
-
nice moc, as everyone stated , I would prefer rectangular wings, but that's cool , I just wonder , on the topic's title there is
AMAZING PICTURES!what did you mean by that ? Not that your pictures are not cool but why did you put it in the title ? ^^

Hello everyone! a short time ago I received my prize for second place in the Captain's Cabin Contest, it's an old and cool pirate set, the 6256 Islander Catamaran, so here I am to make a little review of it!
Details:
Reference: 6256
Theme: Pirate
Name: Islander Catamaran
Year : 1994
Pieces : 56
Minifig : 2
Price : it was sold 12$
Links : Gallery, Brickset, Peeron
Box:
I received it in this box :
Well, it doesn't really looks like a box, that's the package I received, so here is the box ( found it on Peeron.com ) :
Content:
A plastic bag, an old sail and a manual, that's of course not the "official content".
Here is a close-up of the sail which have a really cool "islander painting" on it, in the black box, it's the back of it :
Here are the 2 "canoes" , with stickers on it, the stickers are quite old so they're a little "unglued" , but that's ok, it's an old set!
Here are the rest of the parts, except the minifigs and the crocodile, you can see that it contains some nice arches and 4 "horns" .
Manual:
The front of the manual is of course the same as the box art, the back of it is just empty, which is quite rare now, they're always commercials for new sets:
At the end of it, there is no commercial for the pirate theme or for other lego sets like in new manuals too, there is just another picture of the set, of course there is no part list as well :
Here is a random page of it, as you see it's well explained :
Build:
It's easy and quick to build, but they did put a scheme with an upper view of the set :
Complete Model:
The minifigs are really cool , and the crocodile is nice, I love Lego crocodiles!
As you can see the back of the minifigs are unprinted, this seems to be the norm from my pre 1995 Lego memories
And here is the complete Set, the catamaran is really nice, the two parrots, which I supposed they're statues, are really a nice touch.
A view from the other side, you can see the rudder, that can't move to the left or to the right, but that's a minor point. You can also see that the crocodile can't reach the islanders when they're on the catamaran, he must wait that one of them does a mistake and fall on the water!
That's a really little set, but finally the model is quite "big" for the number of pieces, so the minifigs really have some space to move, and it features some cool accessories, I loved the Staff and the drum, they're simple but awesome:
Notes:
Design: 9/10 __ It really looks like what it's supposed to be, a nice Islander Catamaran, plus the sails printing is really cool!
Build: 8/10 __ A simple build but well thought, I learnt that arches can nicely be put on a canoe
Parts: For a pirate fan : 9/10 For the others : 6/10 __ Apart from the arches, the others are not very useful for non-pirates fan, for Pirates fan, there is a lot of great parts!
Playability: 9/10 __ With all the accessories, the crocodile and a couple of islanders, you can make a lot of little stories, with only 56 pieces!
Minifigures: 9/10 __ 2 minifigs + a crocodile is quite nice for a small set.
Price: N/A __ Not sold any more, but it was not expensive if you consider the cool islander parts.
Overall: 8/10
Conclusion:
This little old set is very nice for it size, the playability is awesome for a so little set, you have a crocodile, 2 canoes, an exclusive sail, 2 parrots and 2 minifigs with some accessories, like a spear, a staff and a drum ! For a set with less than 60 parts, that's very nice! Plus the design of the catamaran is really cool, it really fits the islander and it's their biggest boat! there was only one other islander boat released so this is the biggest boat from this line, ( this one) , so for a pirate fan, I think this set is a must have.
For an Afol who's not really into pirate, it's surely a not very interesting set, apart from building islanders moc, the parts are not very useful, the sail can't be used for another theme as well than the canoe(once the stickers put), but it's still cool, because it's the only Lego set that come with 2 canoes, and it haves some nice black parts ! so that's still cool!

I read it but missed the list somehow ...
maybe because of the wiki link that made me forgot to go further in the post, maybe I thought I finished to read it when I came back from reading the wikipedia page! sorry ^^
