Sire Pirol

Could you show me your modified Brickbeard's Bounty. I do not recognize the pirates, I only love the Imperials.

Thank you Dreamweb for showing this great fortress to us! I am happy that fortresses and castles are being renovated today in Poland. There were lost of castles and buildings with fundamental historical value in Poland that were destroyed and damaged by various invaders. Today they should be reconstucted and renovated so people could see the golden age of Poland, the Rzeczypospolita!

Yesterday I was looking at the toy r us website and it happened to have deals on it's products. I checked it out and the only deals were on the Bionicle, Pirates, and the City Fire. The deal was 25 % off all of the products. This made the lego Brickbeard's Bounty 30 $ less and the Soldier's Fort 10 $ less. There was also another deal I got hold of. If you spend 100 $ or more you get free shipping! I waited for the next dayto decide if I should order and I finally decided. I wanted the Soldier's Fort as well as the Brickbeard`s Bounty. I got on the website and it turned out they were sold out of the Soldier's Fort. So I bought the Brickbeard's Bounty instead. the ship costed 99.97 so I bought the Cannon Battle to make it over 100 so I get free shipping. The total price was 120 $ and it was less than the original of the Brickbeard's Bounty plus I got the cannon battle. I am happy for this day because I bought the set in the very last momment. The pirate series is my favorite one but I do not have so much sets. I only have The Scull Island, #2 Cannon Battle, and the BrickBeard's Bounty. I am just so happy I will get my first ship. So my question is, has anyone recently bought any pirate sets for good prices?

This is not my work. This has been made by Mark Cyran, a Pole from Canada. He worked for it for 3 years as I heard in the news and used up 1 200 000 pieces. He built Jan Matejko's painting of Grunwald from lego. It was made for the 600th anniversary of Grunwald on July 15, 2010. This is currently the largest lego mosaic in the world.I thought such a large creation and effort deserves to be heard on lego forums and sites. Here it is! Battle of Grunwald in Lego There are eight pictures of it. To view the next pictures just press the "nastepne" with an arrow beside it on top of the picture. Here is the original painting: And here is some info about the Battle of Grunwald: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grunwald

Thankyou everybody for your warm welcomes. And it is always nice to be greeted by another pirate fan.

My treasure chest contains the following: 6279 Skull Island 6239 Cannon Battle The best treasure.

I am happy to announce that today is the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald. Unfortunately I did not manage to finish my brickfilm in time for the anniversary. I was not in a hurry because I focused on quality rather than quickly finishing. But the anniversary was one of the reasons why I started this project in the first place and put a temporary pause on other projects I was working on. This was a trailer for the upcoming anniversary. A little treat to get into the Grunwald mood. It even inspired me to put those kind of effects and camera movements on my brickfilm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx2LUSU9qCE&feature=related

Evidence that unicorn armor exists!

With all my bricks and all my heart: Signed!

Thank you sir! I can't wait to publish my brickfilm too.

I hate the shifty aswell. My parents bought me sometimes the shiftey when I was little (2 sets) thinking it was lego. I threw out the sets but I never knew the horse was a fake. I was thinking of not putting the horse in the brickfilm, because you know horses are not red. But eventually I decided to include it in the brickfilm to "increase" the cavalry, because really, I have only 6 horses excluding the red one. Thanks to you I realized it's a shifty. :o As for the broken helmet. I do not really have a lot of black helmets. The black helmets are an extreme need for the Teutonic knights. Most of my helmets are the shiny helmets from the "Fantasy Era" and dark gray from "Kingdoms" and "Crusaders." And by the way, the knight may have been hurt in a battle and his helmet crushed. That's why he might have lost an eye. ;) Thanks for the support guys. I have also included a little status on the first post that tracks what scene I am doing right now.

Introduction Hello everybody. This is Sire Pirol. Since the great 600th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald (July 15, 1410)is coming up, I have decided to make a brickfilm that will recreate the battle. This topic will be dedicated for interested members to watch my work on it, and support me in it. By supporting I don't just mean cheering me on, but also providing me some useful historical information and some tips. History Some people might not be familiar with Grunwald. Grunwald should be more widely known for it was the largest battle in the middle ages. About 70,000 knights participated in this battle. The battle was between the Teutonic Order vs. Poland with Lithuania. The Teutonic knights also invited knights from all of Europe. This was the time when the Teutonic Knights wanted to "Christianize" the pagan Lithuanians. The Teutonic knights also claimed some Polish Lands as theirs. Lithuanians received Christianity from Poland, therefore the knights had no pretext to keep on attacking Lithuania. The Teutonic Knights declared war on Poland and Lithuania. After some hard battles, Poland gathered a massive army along with Lithuania, and that army was to take the Teutonic capital of Marienburg. The Teutonic Knights were not aware of this army until a Hungarian envoy saw the army and told the Order on a diplomatic meeting. At once, the Grand Master of the Order, Ulrich von Jungingen, took a massive army of Teutonic Knights, went out to find a defensive and strategic point to fight off the Polish Army. After a campaign the two armies finally met near a village called Grunwald. There, the largest battle in medieval era, had taken place. The Battle was about 10 hours long, and it resulted in a decisive Polish victory. The Order was totally crushed and it never came because to it's former glory.

I will provide some screenshots so you guys may track my work. I will try to finish sometime next week because I will not be able to make it in time for the anniversary.

Hello Eurobricks forum! I have been speculating this site for some time now, and I finally decided to join. My name is Sire Pirol and I am mostly a history fan. That's why I still love lego. I reenact historical battles or events in my lego MOCs and Brickfilms. But don't worry, sometimes I like to do some fiction aswell. ;) Because of my historical interest, everyone might guess I would be mostly active in the "History" and "Pirate" forums. But I might poke my head every now and then in other places. My lego sets is mostly build up with Castle (Crusader, Kingdoms, Fantasy Era), Adventures, Harry Potter (2000), Some Star Wars Sets, three Pirate Sets, and various other sets such as some City or Prince of Persia. Those are bricks that I keep in their original boxes and just occasionally open up. I have another and main portion that is my overall bricks. These bricks build the structure of my creations, whereas the sets provide me with accessories and minifigs. I work with photoshop and windows movie maker in making brickfilms. My brickfilms are still not on the internet because I am still polishing them with sound and titles. When I publish them, I would be very proud to present them to this community. Well, that's a little about myself. Very nice to meet you guys!
