Here is the Bricklink part number for it: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=36083a&idColor=0#T=P&C=1

Thank you! I'm going to reach out to the visitors center once I finish the interiors of the houses. Thank you! It's definitely worth visiting!

I've spent most of the past year working on a large display MOC depicting historical events in my city of Charleston, SC, USA. Many pirates passed through our coastal waters and the two most famous were Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. Blackbeard famously laid siege to our harbor in 1718 and left when given a chest of medicine. Stede Bonnet briefly teamed up with him but was caught a few months later. He was hung in Charleston in December of 1718. My display depicts both of these events happening simultaneously. Perhaps it turns into an alternate timeline where Blackbeard's crew saves Stede from the gallows. Other artistic liberties have been taken. Noticeably absent is Blackbeard's Flagship the Queen Anne's Revenge. He's currently using Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl to plunder, which is a mystery to all but his crew. Also Charleston's waterfront is depicted much as it is in the present day, with the exception of the street being cobble stoned instead of paved. In 1718, all of the buildings would have been different, and White Point Garden wasn't a park but just the sandy tip of the downtown peninsula. I wanted to construct the houses as they look in the present day, because they are instantly recognizable to anyone that has visited our city. They are referred to as "Rainbow Row" and are one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. I also wanted the option of being able to display them as modern buildings that are compatible with other Lego modular builds. The full scene is 7 baseplates wide and 2 1/2 baseplates deep. Rainbow Row White Point Garden Redcoats returning fire at the Black Pearl. If you hadn't seen it before that is @Marooned Marin's masterpiece of a MOC! Even Captain Redbeard couldn't resist this raid! Some custom pirates I made. Anne Bonny is on the right. Stede Bonnet meeting his fate. Reinforcements on the way! More quaint scenes up the street. Charleston has always had a bustling harbor. This ship was designed by MOC Your Bricks. I'm going to be displaying this MOC at Atlanta Brick Con this weekend February 8th-9th in Atlanta. If any of y'all are going to be in attendance please stop by and say hello!!!

Thank you!

I plan to display it at a convention in February, so I'll share more once the project is further along. It's going to include historic homes along Charleston's waterfront and @Marooned Marin's Black Pearl!

That's literally my inspiration!!! I'm going to call it "The Siege of Charlestowne"

My wife got me a Custom Stede from Minifigs.me as a gift. Yours looks almost identical. I've never seen the show the fig is from but I'm familiar with the actual person. He was hung just a few miles from my house. I'm working on a large MOC of historic Charlestowne that will include him at the gallows. Stede Bonnet by Chris Boyd, on Flickr

Thanks! I much prefer the cloth hammock and have used it in other MOCs. I went with the windscreen piece for the Bricklink contest entry since the cloth one isn’t available in Bricklink Studio.

Your water is sexy. Well done

Over the summer while we were all consumed with the Steve contest, Bricklink quietly ran their own little Pirates themed contest. I was able to throw in a last minute entry, and have since had time to expand on it. The Bricklink had a part count limit, so afterwards I created a second version with my favorite trans blue tile water technique. This MOC is an an original design, but certainly gets inspiration from the small land based Pirates sets of yore such as 6260 Shipwreck Island, 6258 Smuggler's Shanty, and 1492 Battle Cove. It features a cannon for defense against the pesky Bluecoats, a small cave for hiding treasure, and a hammock under a thatched roof for siestas away from the punishing rays of the Caribbean sun. If ye would like to purchase instructions they are available on Rebrickable. https://reb.li/m/197100 Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr

What a clever little design. I just saw it on Bricklink while voting for Maroon Marin's island so I threw in my support for your design as well. Best of luck!

Voted! Good luck bro!

Congrats bro!

I'm voting for @Math Wizard He had some thoughtful things to say about my entry and I intend to make some changes to it based on their critique.
