Due to some changes the previous days, I doubt I'll build "The Pirate Bay", let alone mod it.

This is so much better than what I was hoping for! or the 3rd? I don't remember any of them. I think it's

Both are EPIC!!! Keep both!

Damn. Now you've just made me Google searching for "how to create your own emoji on pc". Superb! No eye patch for captain?

OMG!!! It's great!!! Love it! If you put an eye patch to the blinking eye, it will be prefect! Can you make 2 versions? One with the bandanna and another with a captain's hat? I just noticed we don't have a proper "Captain" emoji! (Vader, Yoda, Bonaparte don't count for me). I wish I had your skills!

I see. I thought it was some problem with my PC and program! Since that's the case, I'll extend my "corrections". If everything goes well, I'll have it ready by next Sunday...unless someone beats me to it. Yeah that might be, I also read that. But I don't know much about those colours, so I started and as it looked ok, I didn't bother about it anymore. I don't know if there's a possibility to select all the parts of one colour as in LDD and change it. I also used the same colors as Victory. I tried some other colors too, like Reddish Brown, but "Brown" and "Dark Brown" looked to me as being the closest to the pictures and videos in the Ideas, so I sticked with them too.

I don't have instructions, nor do I know how to make them. I only have the file. But I'll leave the uploading to @victorycount, since for some reason which I can't figured out yet, when I open the file to my Stud.io there are a lot of "transparent" areas and pieces. This was a problem from the beginning when we started to share files with Victory. it seems that there are some pieces misplacement, when I open the file, from little that i checked it out. I also made few very minor corrections, which do not change the overall optical result. They are just more true to the original Ideas submission by Pablo.

Mine started from Mechelen in Belgium, crossed Germany and Austria, and now is in Budapest. It must be coming by road transportation.

That's because the bow nose should be further up front and lower. Also, the bowsprit should be moved lower too. And replace part 47404 with something better, because this part looks odd as it is there. Kind of like the bow of the new Black Seas Barracuda. If you mod the ship like that, it will look much better.

Last part is ready! I sent the file to @victorycount in order to incorporate it with the rest, and render the final model (judging from the renders he did the last couple of days, I suspect he has a much better PC than me). There are some very minor differences and probably some "mistakes" compared to the original (which I'm trying to correct although they are not a priority right now), but these don't take away from the epicness of the whole structure and are barely noticeable. Cheers!

Thank you, but we have already done this. The whole model is almost finished. Tomorrow or Saturday it will be complete.

I'll support because it's Pirates Theme, although it's absolutely hideous!

Yes. Check PM, I send you a file

Part in orange circle almost done. @rainfall when you do your section, we can combine and the tallest structure of the main building will be complete.

No point in starting over from the beginning and getting into all this trouble, since we have already done this. It would be a pity. Do the section in the red circle and send us the file to incorporate it. That way we will finish faster.

@lomis Pity. But someones comment here, might provide some light to what happened with your submission: "Everytime a set is approved, people always try to follow it with another similar one. It never works. They'll never do it. Maybe only with NASA sets, but these pirates/castle/movie sets will only ever be a one-off." https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-ideas-the-castle-in-the-forest-achieves-10000-supporters/ Which, if true is very sad, because, in my opinion "Castle i the Forest" is much better than "The Blacksmith".

Mine was shipped today.

This was my initial intent, but since I don't like the island version that much, I'll stick to one purchase.

8. Remove Surfboard, Flippers, Harpoon, Orange Cone, Yellow Star, White Clam, Binoculars (didn't exist during the Pirate era)

Thanks!

Nice looking ship! Any more photos of it?

Or as a wooden stockade/palisade from colonial era.

Yeah me too. I was sick of counting again and again and still keep making mistakes, so I put these bricks (and others) as markers.

The two 1x1 white bricks next to the bow need be removed. I forgot to remove them. I put them there for reference in order to measure the right stud distance.

Actually Greek Statues and Temples were colored in ancient times and not left with marble white as we see them now. Sphinx was also painted, at least the head.
