As Hinckley would say, Your face is a Pickle! and Your face is a Pickle! C'mon guys, it's Snot funny to call me a pickle!
-
Very nicely done Stefan! He might be a little big for MF scale, but i think that's as close we're going to get. Very innovative on the construction; it took me a while to figure out how it was made. Hope it's ok if i build one of your wall-e's, cause i'm going to anyway. Great work!

You're the best Hinck!
-
Well i guess this confirms it, TLG is not a Christian Corporation. I can't believe they'd expose children to this type of language! I don't know why you guys like this set. If Fabuland comes back, i don't want any part of this theme. Why Lego!?! WHY!?!
-
What a great idea for a MOC PorcheCm2! I really like all of the improvements you've made on this MOC. Great work Cm2 and good find HMS243. I've added this MOC to the Military Section of the Land-based MOCs Index.

Which combination do you think works best?
Capn Frank replied to Gen. Knowledge's topic in LEGO Pirates
I've added pole options! Vote now and let us know what your choice are and why. I like White Pith w/ White Pants. It seems to match with the torso the best. Maybe have White Pith w/ White Pants for officers only and have a different color for enlisted men. -
Then it wouldn't need a captain quarters.

Of course i am! I have no remorse mutilating the wretched clone bricks. An official Lego brick requires at least one week of considering before getting modified. I don't think i have yet to mutilate a precious lego brick. Good idea! I'm working on that right now.
-
That be one of them cloners alright. I own a few of those swords, and that MF is definitely not Lego. Notice how the left hand looks like it's falling off. Clone brands are usually work only a portion of Lego, and this MF is much cheaper in BL.
-
Great work Captain! The sails innovative and look pretty good too. You captured the look of a Junk very well. If you decide to build a real model of this MOC, i suggest beefing up the masts a little. 3mm rigid hose isn't too rigid. I've added this MOC to the Index of MOC Ships.

Cutlass to foreshadow a return of the Pirate Theme?
Capn Frank replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Pirates
All this means is that TLG still has a Cutlass mold, which hasn't been in a set for years. It's not THE sign for the return of Pirates, but a small sign. So, i voted to yes, this is a sign that pirates are returning. -
Mister Phes made a comparison review of a clone set right here: COMPARISON REVIEW: 6237 Pirates' Plunder, LEGO vs Brick I own a few clonies, but i've never taken them out of their little box where i keep my clone bricks for later experiments.
-
I hope you can get it worked out Joey. I would have voted for one of yours.

Herding Sheep over a minefield...
Capn Frank replied to Doctor Sinister's topic in Special LEGO Themes
As my friend Stick would say because his friend says it: Brilliant! Were any bricks harmed in the production of this Vig Dr. S? I'm not worried about animals. -
There are a lot of great smileys The first one i voted for is the Shark (but i think it needs a smirk closer to ) I love the idea of a double eye patch. (look a blind shooter! ) And i voted for Staudie, where everyone loves to shoot Staudie... Carefull, he may have lighting and thunder on each side of him. There was another smiley that i liked and voted for, but i don't remember which smiley it was.

Try contacting ppl from California in BL would be my guess. I have no idea how effective that would be; it's just a thought. Or see if there's a Lego Convention in CA and attend it.
-
Thanx guys. I was basing it off of the pic from Wiki where the whip portion is only a little longer than the leather handle: I'll have to meditate on this before hacking pieces from my whip. Only on crew that call me a pickle.
-
I can't stand pickled anything either. Hmm... Around where i live, if something is pickled besides a cucumber it's called pickled egg or pickled herring, and a pickled cucumber is always called a pickle.\ I thought everyone talks like i do. It's not funny.
-
It's a common misconception to mistake cucumbers for pickles, but they aren't the same. Yes, a pickle is a cucumber, but a cucumber isn't always a pickle. I am not a pickle, i am just a cucumber. I don't know why ppl think it's funny to call me pickle when i'm clearly not!

Which pieces would you like to see in future pirate sets?
Capn Frank replied to Shadows's topic in LEGO Pirates
A globe! That's a great idea! How about the Cat O' Nine Tails? (Pic is a link to the Custom Thread) -
This is my first attempt at creating a Cat O' Nine Tails. I like the way it turned out. It turned out better than i thought it would. I couldn't get this pose to not be blury for whatever reason. Probably user error. I used a 3mm rubber hose from a Megablocks set, knotted sewing thread, and super glue. The same rubber hose that i used to fasten my U-clip onto the M1-Garand.
-
Being that at least two of the Admin have been Lego Ambassadors. One of which assisted TLG in the creation of their new Castle Theme. I wonder if they know something about a new pirates coming out? I don't think these two would help start a Specific forum for a theme that hasn't been produced in ten years.
-
I voted for Jabba's sail barge. I own it and it comes with a lot of useful bricks to create mocs like my Gun Boat. I really like the bow pieces it comes with. It also comes with a good amount of brown and tan plates.
-
People put treasures on their pirate MOCs?! Why?! I don't think i have yet to put a treasure in my pirate MOCs that i've posted on EB. Just cargo. I do keep all my treasure together though and use the sprue that the coins were connected too.
-
That's because you haven't had 100 posts yet. It's a good thing i can't find the "Close Thread" button right now. Since you're looking for website locations of Pith Helmets, it'll stay open. Sorry mate, only 2 sites i use are BL and Ebay, but i almost always use BL. It looks like looking for the mini-figs that where pith helmets on BL that also sell Pith Helmets separately is the best bet.
