Surtainly a nice entry! I really like the building itself. It's beautiful. The colourscheme is good, and the decorations are wellmade. The plants are nice.. the high palm makes a good effect. Possible Improvements The curel pirates have cut a soldier in two - where's all the blood? The body should be floating in blood. You've made one lamp, and it looks good, but why haven't you made one more to the other side of the gate? Your minifigs are very standard. I think you should try to make some custom made ones. Make a background to your MOC. Even if it's just plain white it would eb better than the background right now. Too much attention is drawn too your computer and so on. You got a picture maximum of 6, but you've only ginev us 2. We won't more! If you don't think you wanna take pictures from mroe angels, you could take a picture of the people on the MOC as a presentation of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You MOC sure looks good. make some improvements and it will be fantastic. Good luck with the contest

Well thats what I call pillaging! I like you wall breaking by the cannonball. Thats a good effect! The flame in the cannon looks like it's just has just fired. Nice detail! The idea of adding a statue. It makes the place more detailed. There's blood in you MOC. I always like that :pir-skull: Possible Improvements First fo all I think the first picture (which will represent you MOC) could be better. Most of the cam's focus is on the sail. I think it should be on the pillaging. So right now almost everyone of you cruel pirate are blurry. I use papersails myself, 'caus I think it's too much work to make clothsails. But I you blank paper. Your's are paper for writing. I think they would eb better if you made some from black paper. On you picture from above it's difficult to see what's happening. If you took from a more flat angle I think it would be better. If you've got more soldiers I think you should add some more on the walls shooting on the pirates. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good luck with the contest

I've got lots of troubles when i hear of these pirate-attacks. On one hand, they are pirates but on the other it's pretty bad for the cargoships and so on. and the crew and the global warming. If the have to sail around Africa instead they will use a lot more fuel, and that causes more global warming. But in the end I think I ends up thinking the pirates are some scissy's. They haven't got the traditional pirate-dress. Where the big hat? The tricorne? The peglegs and hooks aren't even there And besides they've got machines guns and bazookas. Thats so unfair for the crew of the ships. If they had cutless's, real pirateguns and cannons it'll be a fair game. How about classic-pirates making a pirateship with us real pirates, and tried to plunder the other pirates?

Oh my.. They'll be watching me Holy moly.. big brither is here. And Zepher lets join up to make Zorro and Erdbeereis1 connection fail :pir-skull: It's our only chance. It seems that those guys are online 24/7 to respond new PTV-entries.

Uhhh.. a surprise. I'm gonna try 'caus I wouldn't mind winning the price though I'm not sure I've got a change against Zorro and Erdbeereis1: They're alsways so fast

I guess that would do it Now you just gotta change your story a bit.

Nice entry. Good idea bout making a tower. This way you have made a really large MOC for the small category without breaking any rules. The blood on the groundfloor is nice. I Always like lots of blood in these entries The flames burning out of the window is a nice touch. Possible improvements Your multicoloured floors looks wierd As suggested you should have only one (maybe two) colours for your floors. Even thoud you haven't got anymore 8x8 plates you could use 2 4x8 plates instead. You've got too many pictures. 6 was the maximum. So I'd get rid of the last one where you see the outside of the tower. How about a backgroundstory? Like why is the pirate raiding this tower? What is this tower? Who lives there? This was overall.. now I'll take it from the bottom to the top Ground floor: changes the hands of the dieing man to fleshcoloured if you have some. What has the pirate killed the man with? Give the man a weapon. 1st floor: I'd put in a black skeleton instead of the white one (if you have one.. otherwise it's pretty difficult to do ). He's burned to death so I think his skeleton will be black. The table with the inkpot is nice, but I'd put the inkpot with feather in another room. In a room that is burning the quills propably would have been burned at this time - the room is pretty heavy on fire. 2nd floor: hey.. there's nothing to say about this room except that it's funny 3rd floor: Some furniture would be good. Bigger furniture. Maybe you could put the inkpot in here!? I'd also give the pirate a weapon or just a weapon on the floor/whereever that he has dropped so he can grip the girl with both hands. but an unarmed pirate is not a pirate. It could be in this room that pirate are about to throw someone out the window. 4th floor: Like the idea about the duel and the girl screaming. Maybe you could add a chandelier hanging from the roof. Would be a nice effect I think. And the room really needs some furniture of somekind but the floor is pretty filled already, so a chandelier might do the job. Isn't it pretty stupid to set a room on fire when there sill people in rooms above it?.. But on the other hand.. it's pirates and I'm not really sure they think that much before setting fire on things. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looking forward to see your improvements. Good luck with the contest.

Poor islanders - but I'm on the pirates team so they are really not that poor. Nice and bloody. Just what the contest is about I very much like your blood in you SNOTbased MOC. The effect in the water is really nice. The huts are brilliant. Very islanders-ish. The cliff very wellmade. Especially the cave. The islander on top of the mountian. How evill to attack the pirates in the back. Possible improvements When the pirates have killed plundered and stolen how will they got of the island? I'd put in a boat somewhere. A small fire for the islanders to cook. And a big one that is the remainings of a hut that the pirates have burned :pir-skull: If the chief (the one with the funk hat/mask) is supposed to be dead I think he should be covered in blood. At least some blood beneath him. On your pictures it looks like this is all the island. I think it would be wierd to settle down and build huts (and of what??) on such a small island. So if you can, make a picture showing a big jungle or whatever behind the island. Will make it more realistic. This is a minor thing though.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good luck with the contest.

Uhh.. bloody. I see there will be taken no prisoners.. but lots of heads :pir-skull: I like you little collection of heads, and that some of them have kept their hats Possible improvements Some blood on the groudn and the rocks from the dead soldier would be nice. I'd like a story about this. Maybe how the soldier got there. Anything. Some more pictures maybe? From different angles - maybe even from the back. I'd give the pirate two differen weapons. And axe wouldn't be out of the way. You'de need a pretty sharp knife to cut the head of somebody. You could also split the soldier a bit. So his arm was lying somewhere else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good luck with the contest

NEW PICTURES! I've made a lot of improvements. I think I've almost used everyone of your ideas. Haven't put in a rat even though it was a brilliant idea, but I have no rats So I put in a snake instead. I've tiled the walls and floors, made a storageroom for weapons, added a pirate having a laugh and put a barrel of powder behind the girl. most evil :pir-skull: Hope you like it.

Nice entry Paul cantu The croc eating a pirate is nice.. but poor pirate That croc in thw water is brilliant! Your shoreline with water/sand/grass is very good! Also.. you've got blood :pir-skull: I like that. i like that a lot. Possible improvements The palmtree is nice and tall, but the leaves are small. I'd add some more leaves - or bigger ones. And maybe a coconut or two. A more pirate-ish torso for the one in half. You rocks are good, but I'd make them a bit bigget and lower them - or make the grass higher. atm it looks to me like they stand on top of the grass. Integrate them in the surroundings. As Erdbeereis1 suggests: lower the water so water and grass is not in the same level. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looks good. Good luck with the contest

It's a good base you've got there. The giant squid is brilliant. I really like it! And the idea about it pulling a tower aprat is good too I think. The tower it self is very nice too. I like the design a lot. Possible improvements First of all, you MOC is not done yet, so there's so much you could do. Adding minifigs for instance Anyways, I would add a minifig or in the tower. With a frightened face - they tower is going to be eaten or something like that. You could might even have a minifig falling out of the tower. You shoreline is way to straight. You've got the shallow water, and thats good i think, but try to make some curves, and maybe even a stone og small rock pulling out of the water. Some plants and stuff on the beach would help too. A hanging man in the gallows maybe? A battery of cannons at the wall. Ready to fight pirates or whoever attackts.. except for giant squids When you skellies attack remember blood.. lots of blood! I'm looking forward to see how this turns out.

Hm.. I'll might do it on the floor, but the tiles represents an ending on a wall or surface and the walls continue up, som I'm not sure I'll do it on the walls. I've considered that. Well my first intention was to make an evil trap which actually didn't take a pirate to look. They can kill themselfs this way even without a pirate standing and watching. But I've might put a pirate there somewhere when I've made my improvements. The idea is cruel I've tried to find a head for the man which is uncomfortable and still not slovenly. And the girls head is pretty standard, but it's all I've got. Non-Brick Related I've tried to kill them now Also I'm gonna do something about the empty space at the left. I can might come up with a cruel idea :pir-skull: Thanks for all the comments. They are most appreciated

Much better Nich Artri. First of all the first picture represents your MOC much better than before. And you have made pieces of a man in front of the gate. Nice! Youve added some wall in the sides and that good I think. Possible improvements It's good you writes that we shall notice the shakos. It's a funny idea, but it's very difficult to see them. I would try to retake that picture, so your pile of shakos are more visible and not so blurry. Maybe if you made a longer distance from cam to objects that picture would be better. You could might add some blood underneath the soldier shattered to pieces. The soldier in the front of the first picture with a cutless in his back should be in a bloodpool I think. I would still add some stones or a small rock somewhere in your MOC. Definitely a better MOC than before. You improvements has helped, but you can still improve this bloody entry :pir-skull: Good luck with the contest!

Hey it's okay.. I was just tired of people who wanted me to change the heads to some with more expression - mostly because I hacen't got any of those I'm glad you think the improvements help

Fabolous entry Guss! The blood effect is brilliant! I really really love the light saber brick you used as blood. And the v9 light pieces as blood on the neck is also reeeeally good. even though it's not you idea originally. It's well used. Poor Captain Zuloo.. But it's looks great Possible improvements My only critic will be the guy in the left. I'd like him to be more pirate/soldier. Anyways a more pirate-like torso would suit him I think. Appart from that there's nothing.. oh well.. tile the roof No just joking. I think it's nice just as it is. I'm actually not that fond of tile'ing every surface. Good luck with the contest.

Nice entry. And perfectly cruel for the contest. I like you sentences about the helpful soldiers who can help them getting the door open. The blood-effect on the gates is nice.. very bloody :pir-skull: Your last pictures with the presentation of the guys is nice I think. It's alwas nice to see all the people in a MOC side by side for The guy in the cannon is nice too. Can't wait to see him splatter into the wall. You piratecrew is well made. I like custom made pirate a lot. They often inspire me. Possible improvements The guy who has been fire at the door should be splintered to pieces. Smashed to atoms. Splashed flat as a pancake. Blow to.. ehm.. I think you get my point. If you could dismantle him, and make him look like blown to pieces it would be great I think. And off course covered with blood. You might consider to add your desert some vegetation and small rocks and such. Maybe even a animal. Just as Zorro said He' mostly right You should retake the photos in my opinion. First of all a generel view of the MOC is missing. Good luck with the contest

I would'nt doubt that for a second Guss It seems like both of you like it. I'm very pleased I am most flattered mr. zorro3999 I'm gonna add some more details tomorrow I think. Unfortunatly I'm in no possession of rats. I've got some snakes, bats, lots of parrots.. and a small dino (but I'm pretty sure that won't be a great add). But I will add a skeleton or two. Some chains and stuff. I like your idea about the barrel of gunpowder. Indeed very cruel :pir-skull: I might gonna add it, but I'm not sure yet 'caus somehow my idea of this was MOC was to let one live and let the other die. But I'm gonna think about it. Thanks very much

Thanks. I'm glad you think so.. 'cuas I'm not gonna retake those pictures Uhh.. and thanks.. I'm gonna edit my first post right away.

Nice idea. Cruel pirate captain really. I like you little story, and the evilness of it :pir-skull: To kill his own oarsman like that - it's just after the script It's a very simpel MOC but I like that - 'caus you compensize for the simpel design with it's cruelty. You raft looks good I tink Possible improvements I think it's a bit unrealistic if those two guys have floated around for days. The raft is very tiny, and they haven't even got any water. They'd be dead already without water. Blood is always nice, but off course that would somehow spoil the exciting point you've captured. Some more details as Zorro also pointed out. Epaulette, a feather in the hat. I'd also like the piratecaptain to wear a pirate-hat. With the skull on it Add some more pics. Even though it's very simpel MOC you could take some pictures of the two pirates standig together so we could see them. You might also take a picture or two more of the MOC from different angels Good luck with the contest

Vig. 34a If you think my first entry was cruel you haven't seen my medium :pir-skull: It's called "You or your girl - someone will die!" It's pretty simple really. A cannon loaded with powder and a BIG cannonball and a man who can make a choice. But does he dare? The torch will burn the rope that holds the other torch. This torch will fall down and light the fuse to the cannon and blow someone to atoms. Wether it's him or his love only he has the power to decide. Some of you will might sadistic but that was kinda the point . I guess I'm somehow inspired by the "Saw"-films. The pirate had captured him and his wife on their honeymoon on a beach in the Caribbean. But they were nice.. well at least they gave him a choice. With one of his feet he can reach a stick and turn the cannon away from himself before the fuse goes off. Only trouble is that the only direction he can turn it to, is the direction of his girl. And she's stuck because the pirates have put her in mortar to her waist. What he does not now is that the pirates have put a big barrel of powder behind his love, so if he decides to aim the cannon at her they will both die due the explosion. The pirates think this is fair. If a man chooses to kill his love to save his own life, he shall die. Meanwhile the mastermind of this little construction is standing out of sight of the two prisoners and having a last laugh of his genius trap before he takes of to plunder, rape and kidnap once again. The time is ticking. The rope won't last long, and the fuse will go of. What will he do? These are just to illustrate what will happen when the cannons goes off. The torch falls down and lightens the fuse nomatter what direction the cannon points. And then I turned the cannon so you can see to two possible outcomes of this scenario. The to prisoners and the mastermind who is very pleased with himself. There's more picrutes in the folder when public Comments, suggestions and critic will be most apreaciated

Now I've made my improvements, and I hope you like it. I've also taken some more pictures and hopefully they are not as blurry as the first ones. The new folder I'm aware that I'm doubleposting, but I'm afraid noone will notice my new pictures if I just made an edit on my first post. Hopefully no one has gotten any good ideas how to punish me during the PTV-contest New critisim are welcome

The new collection of pirates will be out soon, and we've already seen pics of the lovely sets. But I was puzzled when i saw this picture The set in the midde? I'm pretty sure I haven't seen that one before? Explaination anywone? The picture comes from this folder Btw.. all those lovely ships looks pretty damn nice.. I'd like a couple of those.

Ohh.. come on.. haven't you read my first post?? I know I wrote "for Zorro" in the beginning, but I hoped that others would read it as well Anyways.. Haven't got anything else, so the faces aren't gonna change. I'm gonna make some improvements, and then I'm gonna retake all the pics.. So I hope that they will be better then. Thanks to everyone for the comments. They are much appreciated

Thats what I call a real bloodbath. Funny idea .. but also a bit disgusting I like the skeleton in the background and all the blooooood (I'm very fond of abloody entries..) Improvements As LegoKing suggested a chain around the prisoners would be a nice idea. If I was to witness that as one of the prisoners, I'd rather jump of the ship with the risk of getting shot in the back. So make sure they can't move anywhere. Maybe you should add some more blood on the deck. With that much blood in the tub the shoudl be more spilled on the deck. The captains uniform is visable - it should be red I think. He's bathing in blood, so in my opinion all his clothes should be bloody and red. Great entry, and good lock with the contest.
