This Saber Island remake is amazing, I think my fav remake of this set I've seen ever, design wise. If you'd have time to work on it more to maybe make it a tiny bit bigger to create inside cabins and make the doors work - that would be a perfect set

I hope some of the designers that registered here only to submit their entries will hang around for longer / join in discussions. Overall, @MyFirstMOC-Hun is my personal MVP of this competition, all of his designs were incredible, and it was hard for me to pick my fav. However the fact that a bunch of suspicious accounts showed up here casting votes for him only threw a shade on his fantastic builds. Anyway... My picks, not in order (well done everyone!)

This deserves a separate thread, love it!

I really like this set, and it totally fits the idea what Lego would release in a wave in 2023. I'm not 100% sold on the beard as candle wax, but other than that it's qute awesome :)

Wait how did you manage to get all those heads and torsos to Studio?

Honestly I don’t like the design, the skull in particular looks weak, I also dislike the use of sausages for bridges, overuse of the SNOT technique and the brick built white animal skull. The layout of the rock formation looks good, I’m also happy for two seagulls, but overall it’s a pass. edit. All that being said, I like that the pirate theme gets a nod here, I’m sure lots of folks will love it. I just hope the whole structure is stable. It doesn’t look like though.

Wow, loving this. So far my fav mini set :)

Thanks folks! I've updated photos in my first post, I "flipped" the island to go with the POBB and be situated on its left hand side. I've also updated the boat colour to dark blue as it was meant to be. Here's my home setup: PS. I will make a separate thread for the second side build :)

Does anyone know when the new series of figs will come out?

you should put the images back because it's an amazing build. just change the topic title to [MOC]

Some more examples, this time with plates (also the Lego logo seems to be more pronounced on those darker pieces)

Hey, it's unpopular opinion right ? ;D I meant stuff that could be easily achieved by regular building technique of stacking up various slope bricks, to probably even better standard (subjectively!), but instead the creator chooses for some odd reason to use SNOT that doesn't improve the overall look of the set in any shape or form.

Awww that sucks, for a moment I was *hoping* I have fakes - tbh that would be better than admitting quality issue from Lego :(

Tan tiles: 1 x 4 (2431) 2 x 4 (87079) 1 x 1 with Groove (3070b) all seem to be darker than my tan plates or even the 1x1 tan round corner tile could you compare with your pieces please?

agree, looks way too busy to be greenlit by Lego. but it doesn't change the fact that it's an amazing shipwreck! my main concern atm is: where is that palm tree growing from? can we see the back of this build?

Doubt it, unless there's a new movie that would feature one of those...

I’m a purist personally, and wouldn’t spend a penny on a non-Lego piece. But you do you 🤠

Hey @thewatchman what technique did you use for the bird's nest? Could you share how it's attached? I find those nests quite wobbly when placing on my builds, still looking for the best set up.

Here’s mine: SNOT techniques look uninteresting and can even ruin the build if done just to “show off”, especially with rock formations

FYI, not really VERY Piratey, but I've just done 40566 Ray the Castaway in Studio: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ieceu5t8tk8dtax/40566_Ray_the_Castaway.io/file also: 70409 Shipwreck Defense https://www.mediafire.com/file/nd8jvc5zb30eq9k/70409_Shipwreck_Defense.io/file 70411 Treasure Island https://www.mediafire.com/file/lpjtqozx5cehmh1/70411_Treasure_Island.io/file

If you want, send me the file and I can take a look. Send me a priv msg

another fantastic MOC, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll treat us all to a render that will feature ALL your entries from this contest in one photo

I think it's the wig that looks a big goofy

Fantastic, I definitely think it should be a community, no strings-attached project. I didn't know about the thread you linked - amazing! There are a LOT of sets there already, which is fantastic, but would be great to go through them one by one to check if all the pieces and colours match. The other day I created Studio files for: 70409 Shipwreck Defense 70411 Treasure Island And after comparing them with the existing files from that thread, my versions are more accurate (as you said new parts were added to Studio since they were first published). Happy to submit those to update. CC'ing @Calabar here As for where to begin - it'd be good for anyone willing to work on this, to announce their plans here, so we don't have two people working on the same set. Of course we need to figure out where can we host those files - they're not large, so it shouldn't by a big issue. And obviously go through that list from [KEY TOPIC] Official LEGO Sets made in LDD thread to see what's missing.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately I had too pull this from the contest because I started drafting this build before this competition was announced. I don't want to unfairly compete with others who are building their entries since it launched.
