El Bucanero Posted October 30, 2006 Those prices are pretty steep *wacko* I'm sorry but it is not so hard to create a small merchant ship without spending 100 euros.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted October 30, 2006 Brand new pieces can get rather expensive though, however these are steep :-( . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo7 Posted October 30, 2006 In the english section for #2 it says it includes 2 minifigures, I think you meant to write 9 like you did in the french section for #2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaronSat Posted October 30, 2006 Brand new pieces can get rather expensive though, however these are steep :-( . Cleaverly noticed. In the english section for #2 it says it includes 2 minifigures, I think you meant to write 9 like you did in the french section for #2. Right, I corrected that, thanks.

Bonaparte Posted October 30, 2006 You're a real artist Mr. BaronSat. There are some very fine sets in your shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natelite Posted October 30, 2006 you're not only paying for the parts but also the intellectual property. if you want it cheaper, alternatively you can buy his instructions and source for the parts yourself. :-) just for the record, i'm not paid by baronsat nor am i commissioned by him or whatever, so i am only speaking for myself. i think his designs are unique and attractive and may be worth the extra premium. he is operating just like pre.classic-space.com in selling proprietary models. i mean if people are willing to pay for customized lego mfs, why not for unique creations?

Evil Willy Posted October 31, 2006 These are absolutly beautiful, everything from looks, to playability. Good job to you Baronsat. Keep it up, but one thing though is that yes...They are expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted November 3, 2006 just for the record, i'm not paid by baronsat nor am i commissioned by him or whatever, so i am only speaking for myself. i think his designs are unique and attractive and may be worth the extra premium. he is operating just like pre.classic-space.com in selling proprietary models. i mean if people are willing to pay for customized lego mfs, why not for unique creations? Now can't a unique creation like this be considered as an artwork? Sure its made from LEGO which we associate with a propriety brand, howevermany successful artists have sourced their material from well known brands. Artworks are constantly selling (if the artist has established themself that is) for ridicuously high prices and to the casual observer they may seem like a heap of over piced crap, however to someone who understands and appreciates them, the price may be justified. (Just note that I'm not saying Puerto Brico is a heap of crap or priced ridicuously high, I was writing that generally) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col. Whipstick Posted November 13, 2006 Well the prices aside, which are... well, ow! The sets look great, especially the main tavern dockside looking piece. It does feel very Caribbean. What about a little more greenery though? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted November 18, 2006 Sometimes works sell more for when the artist has passed away. But, not to get scared or anything of that matter. So, how have sales been going BaronSat...anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaronSat Posted November 20, 2006 Well the prices aside, which are... well, ow! The sets look great, especially the main tavern dockside looking piece. It does feel very Caribbean. What about a little more greenery though? :-) I have been out of town for 1 week without web access, so sorry for my late reply. Hi, Thanks for your compliment, I'm pleased you like my model. Of course I would be more pleased if you buy one :-$ More greenery would be nice but it's always a question of room on the model. Well, my customers can customize my custom... hm, that makes a lot of "custom". ;-) Sometimes works sell more for when the artist has passed away. But, not to get scared or anything of that matter. So, how have sales been going BaronSat...anything? :skel1: I'm not in a hurry for that X-D Sales are going gently as the deadline is on end november. I suppose that more people will contact me after as it happens each time :-) The new smilies are really cute, congrats to the maker, who is??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted November 20, 2006 I can't remeber the name but the creatoris named in the New Smilies thread. A deadline? Why is there a deadline on your item? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted November 20, 2006 Sometimes works sell more for when the artist has passed away. Maybe we should assassinate Baron Sat to help increase sales... X-D The new smilies are really cute, congrats to the maker, who is???

oo7 Posted November 21, 2006 That beard was made by Little Armory, but the guy making them has stopped because of some personal problems. Yes, but now you can buy them at Armothe's BrickForge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted November 21, 2006 How does one make a custom beard? I don't think we've covered that here before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Governor Broadside Posted November 22, 2006 AFAIK, you make your own mold and inject plastic into it. And thanks for the link oo7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaronSat Posted November 22, 2006 Maybe we should assassinate Baron Sat to help increase sales... X-D I'm pleased to have good friends like you all, but I'll remember to carry my 9mm when I'll go out of my flat now ;-) How does one make a custom beard? I don't think we've covered that here before. The gray beard was made by Redbean who is a great sculptor and it's sold by Armothe now. They are professionnally molded in a factory which makes a big difference with resin cast customs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
