A cool creation, especially the tree.

I totally agree with your opinion on the sails and NEXO Knights

These are the coolest pirate accessories I've ever seen for 25 years of collecting LEGO sets. What are their numbers?

I'm not acomputer games fan, I prefer real LEGO bricks. The beginning of your creation is promissing. So keep on building! erhaps you will load it in LEGO ideas. Good luck.

Hi, LEGO samurai fans. It's my second favourite LEGO series.So I present my poem about them. It is in Russian and I tried to translate it into English and illustrated it with LEGO sets. If you like it, I'll translate some others, too (about pirates, knights etc.) Please feel free to suport my 2 LEGO ideas projects. Waiting for your C&C. Bansai! БОЛЬШАЯ РАЗНИЦА Great Difference В неприступном горном замке самурайский сёгун* жил................... A samurai shogun lived in a stronghold on a mountain. Всю округу он к порядку верной стражей приучил .......................... His guards made all his neighbors obey his orders. Много раз пытались ниндзя по заданию врагов.............................. Ninjas were sent by his enemies many times Штурмовать его твердыню, но глубок защитный ров,.................... To siege his castle, but the moat is deep, Высоки и крепки стены, словно горный монолит. ......................... The walls are high and as strong as mountain monolith. Только в схватке непременно кто-то должен победить. ............... But someone must sure win a battle. Самураи и синоби* – вот заклятые враги................................. Samirai and sinobi are great enemies. Долгу верные до гроба, не отступятся они............................... They are dutiful and never stand back. Только разница большая: есть наёмник и слуга...................... But the difference is great: a mercenary and a servant. Если верность самурая не растёт от кошелька, ................... Samurai's loyalty doesn't depend on money. То у ниндзя чем он толще, тем короче к цели путь................. As for ninja - the more he gets the more he serves. Удовольствие тем больше, чем сложней задачи ждут........... And the harder his task, the more pleased he is. Ведь успех в опасном деле учит многому всегда: ........................... Success in a dangerous mission always teaches you much: Что и где не доглядели стражи нового врага, .............................Where there are weak points of each new enemy's guards, Как возможно незаметней проникать в его чертог .............................How to get unseen into his chamber, И когда в бою полезней лук, кинжал или клинок. .............................And when a bow, a dagger or katana is more useful in a fight. Кто искусства боевые постигает с ранних лет, .............................That one who practices marshial arts from youth Овладеть способен ими. Но в мотивах весь секрет..............................Can master them. But what's the secret reason? В том, как в жизни поступаешь, часто важно – почему?.......................It's often important why you act like that. Воин или побеждает или ищет смерть в бою. ........................A warrior eithe wins or seaks death in the battle. Не прочесть мотивов сердца в выражении лица. ........................No one can guess what's deep in the heart of a ninja just looking at his face. Лишь ему они известны да, пожалуй, небесам. ........................Only he himself and the heavens may know that. Под одеждой полотняной металлический корсет .......................There is a metal corset under his robe Для защиты от ударов, пуль и стрел. И в нём секрет. .......................To protect him from strikes, bullets and arrows. There is a secret in it: Ядовитые пластины вплетены в его узор, .......................... Poisonous stripes are a part of the corset's decoration Чтобы смерть врага настигла, если с ним проигран спор...........................To kill the enemy even when he wins. Как трофей возьмёт кольчугу, но, надев её, умрёт, .............................He will take the armour as a trophy but will die Если точно знать не будет, в чём для яда антидот. .............................Not knowing the antidote for the poison. Всё, что путь облегчит к цели, чем бы ни было оно, .............................Anything that can make his goal easy to reach Применять в бою умеет тот, чья жизнь и путь клинок. .............................That one can use in the fight whose life and path - katana. Ведь ниндзютсу есть искусство обладания мечом .................Ninjutsu is an art of using katana И способность даже чувства контролировать умом. ..................And also an ability to controle emotions and feelings. Не бояться даже боли, как бы ни была сильна, ...................Strength of will if it's trained allows Позволяет сила воли, если развита она. ...................Not to be afraid of any pain. Раны тела крепость духа неспособна исцелять, ....................Strength of spirit can't cure woundsof body/ Но пока к ним сердце глухо, бой возможно продолжать....................But while a ninja's heart doesn't feel them, he can fight. Кто из схватки не вернётся, но сумеет победить, ...............He , who will die but win Лучше тех, кто содрогнётся и отступит, чтобы жить. ................Is better than those who run for life. Самурай служитель долга, господину верен он. ................Samurai is a man of duty, faithful to his master. Одолеть способен многих, защищая знатный дом. ...............He can defeat many defending a noble house. А взамен не благ и славы, лишь почтения он ждёт. ................And his reward be not wealth or glory. He expects only respect. И героев чтит держава, им по чести воздаёт. ................And heroes are honoured by the country. Самураи в сёгунате* на почётнейших местах. .................Samurais have the best seats in shogunate. Сам великий император держит власть на их клинках. .................Their swards help the great Emperor keep his power. Опираясь на достойных в начинаниях благих, .................Being supported in his deeds by worthy Может быть монарх спокоен за судьбу границ своих. ................A Ruler needn't worry about his boarders. Только в мирном государстве благоденствует народ. .................The people are well off only in a pieceful country. А в годину смут и распрей и древнейший трон падёт. ..................Disturbances and faction can ruin any throne. Предводитель самураев титул сёгуна несёт, ....................The head of samurai has a tytle of shogun. Перед троном отвечает за страну и за народ. ...................He is responsible for the country and people before the throne. А у ниндзя предводитель мастер тайн и злых интриг, ...................The head of ninja is a master of misteries and evil plots. С кем угодно ради выгод может сделку заключить. ...................He can make a bargain with anybody for the sake of gain. Вечен спор щитов и копий, нежных вод и твёрдых скал, ....................The controversy of a shield and a spear, of tender waters and hard rocks, Самураев и синоби, словно инь и янь начал. .....................Of samurai and sinobi - is eternal as yin and yan of elements. *сёгун – глава самураев shogun - the head of samurai *синоби – наёмный убийца sinobi - asassin *ниндзя – тайный человек ninja - hiding man *сёгунат – высший военный совет shogunate - supreme militaru council in fudal Japan

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately 6244 is the only building of the armada set Are their 2 ships from 6280 set? Or have you got the exclusive 6299? What's the difference between them, I wonder? There are hips of interesting details in your diorama to talk about. Thanks.

I never use photomontage, LDD etc. By tne way, both you and me have a new special tag - a skull with a pirate captain's hat. Do you happen to know what it means? And how did you get the blue coats flag? - I like it very much.

Your creation is really unusual proving wild imagination. Please check your personal conversation, I'm not sure how it functions. Sorry, I don't know if it's allowed to ask here. Have a nice and productive day.

There are 2 Armada ships in your guge diarama. It seems you used all the pirate sets ever issued. Do you know any LEGO buildings issued for Armada? ( I know there is a small post with green doors). How long have you been collecting and creating LEGO sets to become such skillful master builders?!!! Such an unspeakable piece of art with unusual building techniques. I wish I learn from you. It looks very realistic.

Your mini figure really looks like a ronin. And the story is thrilling, too. Is this your favourite mini figure? what did you use for the hat? I adore pirate theme. I advise you to move your captain Kaizokuro to the ninjago section.

Hi, everyone. That's a new MOC http://www.us.lego.c...ae6874?index=10 Rule, Britain It is a historic moment after the battle of Trafalgar when a French admiral with hand cuffs puts the last version of the LEGO bluecoat flag down to King George III’s feet. Archbishop is on the right, Royal Court judge on the left. The throne is protected by 2 royal guards with white epaulets which you sent me together with a French flag. And the prisoner – by 2 classic red coats. The priest and hangman are waiting for a royal decision. I hope, LEGO fans will like my new set in Galleries and in LEGO Ideas. Please support

To my mind this amazing creation is worth the 1st prize! Have you got any new plans ?

Congratulations! It was hard to win the 1st prize because there were quite a few worthy creations. You'll get 70413 ship to enlarge your collection! By the way, don't you know if there are any other pirate ships issued in 2015? they issued the Imperial Flagship 10210 but it wasn't in catalogues.

It reminds of DNA - an ideal tornado! Your creation is really unusual proving you've got wild imagination. You gave me advice on my LEGO comics. So I sent a translation to our personal convesation. Sorry, I'm not sure how it functions. Please check it. What's next? Have a nice and creative day!

Hi, Aanchir! You deserve to be an Arch Duke! Thanks a lot for your extremely detailed reply. I'd like to know your opinion on my 2 LEGO ideas projects. I know one shouldn't ask to do it while commenting on somebody's MOCs. But here fans discuss LEGO pirates future. As LEGO issues Pirate chess every 5 years, I'd like to ask fans if my Pirate battle island and Soldiers arsenal cecome future official sets. Any healthy criticism is welcome because if somebody criticizes my creations it can mean they like them. And are attentive to details. If I am completely honest I don't see a purely pirates set getting anywhere close to the 10k support though it's a dream of any LEGO fan. -And The Flying Dutchman can prove the possibility. I think pirate Lego Ideas are always worth trying. Perhaps LEGO fans will support pirate projects not only because they like them but also just as a way of telling Lego we are still here and let them not forget us. I am trying to have fun with my Lego and want everyone else to enjoy it too, in whatever way they choose. Many thanks.

Hi, LEGO pirates fans! One can think LEGO is going to combine pirates and ninja in 2016. But to my mind nothing can be as popular as pirates of 1989 and ninja of 1999. What's your opinion?

Once upon a time some redcoats caught a pirate, an enemy of the British crown. He was so terrible that the royal guards and even yeomen were taking him by sea to the Tower of London. But the ship was attacked and sunk by his rascal friends. Still the redcoats won the battle and captured the pirate ship. You can see how she was damaged - almost no sails etc. Actually it's a combination of 6286 Skyll's Eye Schooner and 7416 a boat of the Oriental Expedition. Unfortunately I don't have sails for it and can't buy them anywhere. If you like it please support my 2 LEGO ideas projects and leave your comments here. Many thanks and happy building. Sorry, the picture isn't loading thogh I tried hard. Maybe later. You can see the ship completed with brick sails using this link. http://www.us.lego.com/en-us/gallery/cee9167d-0f50-422f-bac7-703551d52c60?index=5&categoryId=64929898-C52F-49D8-B106-C0C36314093C Principally Square-rigged, 3 masts 22B You can find the "Sunset mirage" photo here: http://www.us.lego.c...a9e3495?index=1 Below you can see 8286 and 7416. My link shows how I combined them. For example, I put small pirate flags near the cannons instead of gfeen ones.

The pictures taken from different angles help see all the details and that's good. This time I noticed and wondered how your sailor could get up so high without a ladder and his legs are in the air. The shrouds aren't high enough. Try to improve that. Otherwise everything is well done.You seem to be very skillful.

Your super creation deserves the front page just as Hadrian's Wall. What are the unusual bricks use to create the golden buildings?

Nice animation. I like your story and creation. Maybe because I create LEGO comics myself. Perhaps we can compare them some day. Keep on creating.

I like the way you created the cliff. What set is the base plate from, I wonder? Do you remember its number? I like the way you created the cliff. What set is the base plate from, I wonder? Do you remember its number?

Thanks a lot for your moral support. No pain, no gain.

As Mpyromaxos says, it's better to take good picture to present your outstanding creation for LEGO fans to enjoy!

I'm not fond of video games but I prefer LEGO real bricks, not LDD (because of my poor eye-sight). so it takes me too much time to construct my sets. happy building to you. I'll be glad if you present your combination faster than me, so we can compare later.

I quite agree but Pirates 2015 are not sold in Russia. So the PtV can give a chance to win a set. I'm as eager to know results aa all the other "pirates"
