Thanks for the feedback, it's good stuff. I'll add some masonry bricks, maybe dark tan. The base is a bit thin because it was originally going to be on an old 16 x 16 baseplate I have from Sabre Island: But, yeah, considering the size I should expand the base and build up the rocks. A jetty would be good too. Maybe a cave...

Lighthouse Keeper Steve Thanks for the feedback, this is the latest version: After a career spent dodging pirates, an ageing Steve has become a lighthouse keeper. The only danger he faces now is from boredom, thankfully he has plenty of rum to keep that at bay. This model, which was inspired by the first Eddystone Lighthouse in Cornwall (UK), is made up of 756 parts. The roof and the top two floors can each be removed to reveal Steve's living quarters (now accessible via stairs): Close-up images: I've tried to keep the style closer to the original pirates sets I played with growing up (I am old) while including some newer elements. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that LEGO would leave out the water, but I really like it... And the wake around the shark. A door is a good idea, I'll have a look. By the way, I'm new as you can see, which sites can I link to for images? Instagram doesn't seem to work.

Ever wonder who won this one? This model is my guess. I've tried to stick to the spirit of the old mini sets. This one is just 29 pieces. https://www.instagram.com/p/CwCsA4vq2Hc/
