Christmas is coming!!! Santa Klaus needs a much more powerful sleigh to satisfy the requests of all the children, and the governor of Brickuga has gladly lent him his flagship... Red, white and gold, you can't get more Christmassy than this! Soon the elves got to work, and cut here, cut there, add some decorations and a pair of sledges, and a brand new sleigh-ship is ready! Watch out for the elf-gift launcher slingshot, it never misses a shot! Merry Christmas to everyone! P.S. This is a "mod-moc" of my "Tiamat - Governor Flagship" which you can find among my previous posts.

One of the most loved and MOC'ed ship ever... My own Queen Anne's Revenge...

No, sorry... I built it directly "from real", and I also already dismantled it because, in the end, I didn't like the result...

@Mister Phes Hi! I didn't see this my entry in the list of main contest category... Could you fix this? Thanks!!!

Right on the "photo finish" of the contest, here is my version of one of the most loved boats from the classic pirate series...the Caribbean Clipper. Lengthened version with one more hull in the middle section, the addition of a second mast (three more custom sails than set 6274), captain's cabin and lower deck with armory/guns compartment, crew quarters and galley. Hope you like it!

Thank you so much! I'm agree with your observation. This MOC is also made as part of a larger diorama, so the sea and the details all around are made this way according with the orhers MOC of the diorama. Thanks for your post!!!

Honestly, I didn't know the "function" of this forum...😅😅😅 But I find it really interesting how it works. I'm thinking about an avatar and above all about creating an interesting background. Sooner or later I'll come too...

Amazing!!! What a wonderful work and techniques!!!

Wow! All great MOCs... Congrats!!!

It represents the house/laboratory from which the blue jackets are supplied for the fabrics and accessories for their uniforms. On the ground floor there is the leather workshop, where the merchant shears one of his sheep among rolls of fabric, trunks of wool and various dyes, and the wife offers travelers the products of their work...comfortable leather backpacks and shoulder bags for soldiers, as well as various accessories for grooming the beasts and decorating the jackets. Upstairs is the spartan house, small but complete, with a large bed, table and fireplace for warming up and cooking. The house is also equipped with a "recessum", so as not to have to go out in the cold when the body calls, sheepfold and chicken coop. And watch out for the kitten who enjoys ambushing the little animals wandering around on the roof...

I did't post anithing yet on "Brethren of the Brick Seas"... Thank you for suggestion, I'll post It on "Brethren..." too.

Yes, you 're right with the palms blend (but the "x" form is necessary to the storytelling) and the planks (I wouldn't "over brick" that part). The roucan Is not Flying... simply I haven't got thet bar in green/brown, and I used a trans light one (I had to use that kind of bar to compensate the blend...). Thanks for your feedback!

Forgive me for the quality of my english (I used google translate). Thank you for your feedback. Coming to the point, in the gwp I modified the whole base to make it similar to the other island of the MOC; I modified also part of the vegetation and part of the "furniture". However, I understand your point of view very well, and it is certainly acceptable. In fact the MOC is made up of two 32x48 modules side by side, if the administrators were to judge it "not eligible for the contest", I think I will be able to republish it with only the left module (which would be the old 6254, revised). I hope I explained myself decently, and thanks again for your comment. However, it is always stimulating to confront each other.

Inspired on 6254 and 6258 Lego set... On a pair of atolls there is a semi-buried treasure, marked by two palm trees crossing each other to form an "x". While newborn turtles conquer the sea for the first time and a hungry shark ambushes a small dolphin following its mother, two female buccaneers celebrate the discovery of the chest with bad rum. Others had reached there in the past, but luck had abandoned them leaving them shipwrecked on those remote islets, and discord had taken over. Now, the only survivor has nothing left to defend his treasure but an empty bottle...

It's amazing!!! So 90's and so modern at the same time... Congrats!!!

Amazing!!! 😍😍😍

Thank you so much! I worked on this MOC for 6/7 months. I tried so many solutions before coming to the final version!

Bellissimo lavoro! Bravo bravo bravo. E se davvero è la tua prima MOC, allora hai un futuro "radioso" davanti a te! Continua così!

Un racconto “piratesco” PARTE 2: IL SERPENTE Intanto nei mari più a Nord una sagoma possente baluginava all'orizzonte sotto i raggi del Sole. Scintillii dorati ed una grande sagoma bianca e rossa si affioravano tra le onde. Armato di cannocchiale, al nostromo di un piccolo brigantino con il Jolly Roger in cima all'albero maestro, sembrò di scorgere un serpente marino dalla testa rossa e le spire bicrome solcare i flutti lontani. Un attimo, e il pirata vide appena sopra la testa del serpente un lampo e uno sbuffo di fumo seguiti da un sibilo... poco dopo un colpo di mortaio li mancò di poche spanne. All'istante il brigantino invertì la rotta ed intraprese la fuga. Quel manipolo di pirati fu il primo a scorgere "Tiamat", la nuovissima ammi raglia delle giubbe blu, pronta a portare il caos nelle acque infestate dai pirati. Nell'antica mitologia babilonese Tiamat era la madre di tutto il cosmo, la dea primordiale degli oceani e delle acque salate. Raffigurata come un serpente marino o un drago, era il simbolo e l'incarnazione del caos primordiale. Il governatore, grande studioso delle civiltà antiche, scelse questo nome per l'imbarcazione di punta della sua flotta, un nome che avrebbe dovuto incutere terrore e rispetto in chiunque pensasse (malauguratamente) di ingaggiare un duello con il veliero. Tre possenti alberi e 12 vele ingabbiavano i venti che spingevano il vascello, dotato di grande agilità e velocità nonostante la mole dello scafo. Armato di tutto punto da prua a poppa, con cannoni, mortai e bombarde pronte ad affondare quei maledetti filibustieri che insozzavano le acque caraibiche. Pur essendo una nave progettata per dar battaglia, il governatore pretese che fosse anche riccamente decorata, e quindi il vascello era un fiorire di ornamenti dorati ad intervallare la bicromia rossa e bianca dello scafo. Finalmente pronta al varo la Tiamat fu “benedetta” dal re in persona, ed appena la sua chiglia tocco le acque l'esperto capitano fece rotta verso i caraibi per saggiare la potenza di fuoco dell'ammiraglia e dare un avvertimento chiaro ai filibustieri: niente sarà più come prima, nessuna pirateria sarà facile, tutti saranno puniti dalla dea babilonese… A "pirate" tale PART 2: THE SERPENT Meanwhile, in the seas further north, a mighty shape glimmered on the horizon under the rays of the sun. Golden sparkles and a large white and red shape emerged from the waves. Armed with a telescope, the boatswain of a small brig with the Jolly Roger at the top of the main mast thought he saw a sea serpent with a red head and dichromatic coils furrowing the distant waves. A moment, and the pirate saw just above the snake's head a flash and a puff of smoke followed by a hiss... shortly after a mortar round missed them by a few hands. Instantly the brig reversed course and began to flee. That handful of pirates were the first to see 'Tiamat', the newest flagship of the Bluecoats, ready to wreak havoc on the pirate-infested waters. In ancient Babylonian mythology Tiamat was the mother of all cosmos, the primordial goddess of the oceans and salt waters. Depicted as a sea serpent or a dragon, she was the symbol and embodiment of primordial chaos. The governor, a great scholar of ancient civilizations, chose this name for the flagship of his fleet, a name that should have instilled terror and respect in anyone thinking (unfortunately) of engaging in a duel with the sailing ship. Three mighty masts and 12 sails caged the winds that pushed the vessel, endowed with great agility and speed despite the bulk of the hull. Fully armed from bow to stern, with cannons, mortars and bombards ready to sink those accursed freebooters who littered the Caribbean waters. Despite being a ship designed to do battle, the governor demanded that it was also richly decorated, and therefore the vessel was a flourishing of golden ornaments interspersed with the red and white duotone of the hull. Finally ready to launch, the Tiamat was "blessed" by the king himself, and as soon as her keel touched the waters, the expert captain set sail for the Caribbean to test the firepower of the flagship and give a clear warning to the buccaneers: nothing it will be more like before, no piracy will be easy, everyone will be punished by the Babylonian goddess…
