Captain Pirate Man

Finally, a man of taste. I had the SES as a kid, and I LOVED it then. But as an adult, I see how flawed it is. So many Lego fans, and even pirates fans tend to look at this ship through rose colored glasses. Is it a good ship? Yes. Great? No, especially NOT for the after market price, you can MOC your own ship for cheaper, and that will be better. Congrats on getting it at a good price (is snag one as well, for the right price). Also your modifications look great 👍 👍

I plan on picking this up next year sometime, no money for it yet, lol. I'm excited about it as a Pirates fort, it's a cool looking shipwreck island. Im a Goonies fan, but not a HUGE one. I like the Pirates aspect of it. I don't collect BL designer sets, so this is my next pirate set, lol.

Thanks man, I appreciate it!!

Thanks Everybody!! I'm glad you all enjoyed it!! Here is a FOLLOW UP video.

The Title says it ALL, enjoy!!

Thank you!! I REALLY appreciate that!!

In this video we take a look at our CUSTOM Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves minifigs we created using the D&D CMF as a starting point!!

hahaha

Who else wishes Lego would make some LOTR Battle Packs?? Well I made some for myself!! Thanks for watching!!

Fantastic!!

Both armies are impressive, but that Red Coat army is NICE 👍 👍 I have my doubts we will see Red Coats anytime soon, so hold on to those!! BTW, I like the comic idea you have.

That's what I was about to say. That's a good point, LEGO did release a bunch of new parts when Pirates launched. Palm trees, ship hulls, sails, face printing... Just to name a few.

Dust is the enemy of all Lego collectors, lol. The EASIEST way, is just to keep touching it. The more you touch things, the more you just naturally remove dust with your hands. That's the best trick for lighter dust. For BIG, caked on dust you need to clean it. I recommend any keyboard vacuum, they will work. Clean my bricks is a relatively newer Lego centric vacuum as well. They just recently sent me one to review. I can confirm that it actually works rather well. For in between studs, and smaller areas, I recommend a small, fine tipped, little paint brush.

It's because it's summer time here, and as such I do a lot of traveling. So when I am home, I record a bunch of footage, and will release those videos periodically over the next few weeks. If the contest were going on in the fall or winter... That would be a different story. Trust me, I REALLY thought about it, lol. I have some ship hulls, and I thought about trying to put together something with those. How long is the contest open until? I might be able to do something if I can fit it into my schedule.
