The sand green looks great, and something I haven't seen in a ship often. The masonry bricks are particularly clever, as they are nearly always used exclusively in stone buildings.

Great ship, very nice shaping. I would love to see this as a ship fit for sailing, though, rather than a shipwreck. How long have you been working on it (and how many total hours)?

[MOD/MOC] Aanchir's 6267 Lagoon Lock-Up Remake's expansion
YellowFrog replied to zinnn's topic in Pirate MOCs
Great build, I would definitely buy this as a set. However, if I did buy it, I would modify that corner where the yellow meets the white, as it looks a little basic. Great stuff! -
[ENTRY][SMALL] Infant Steve Recruited As Royal Spy
YellowFrog replied to lotr's topic in Pirate MOCs
Great concept, but a few things to say: the wall needs a little work, it looks very basic and reminds me of Harry Potter sets. The floor would go a long way worth a change in colour, or a little tiling. Also, the stack of tiles aren't quite the right colours to be paper, and don't look much like books, and the map(?) on the table looks a bit out of place. A good start though! -
[ENTRY] [SMALL] The Child - Steve's childhood
YellowFrog replied to MyFirstMOC-Hun's topic in Pirate MOCs
Great concept, and I love the gold detailing. Palm tree is nice too, but the sand looks a little jagged and disjointed. Good work! -
Great little boat: I love the seagulls. Can't find many negatives to say, but if I had to be picky, I would say that the sails look too stiff and red, and that some rigging would go a long way. Good work!

I'd love to tile it as much as you, but dark tan tiles aren't plentiful in my collection... I could tile them in tan or dark orange, but I think the contrast provided by dark tan is needed.

[ENTRY][SMALL] Infamous Steve and the Fountain of Fortune
YellowFrog replied to Juhlhaus's topic in Pirate MOCs
Great build - the angle of the photo is really dynamic. But if you possess the original Steve torso, why not have the original head as well? -
Great MOC, brilliant photo, fantastic lighting. What more can I say?

[ENTRY][LARGE] Origin of Steve the Merchant
YellowFrog replied to SevenDeadlyStreamers's topic in Pirate MOCs
Great build, very jungle-y. I particularly commend the choice to use dark tan for the ground. The olive green crocodile could be swapped out for one of the new ones, though! -
[ENTRY] [LARGE] Escape from the Imperial Trading Post
YellowFrog replied to A_Goodman's topic in Pirate MOCs
Great rockwork, and the two tones of grey work great. The rounded corners of the fort are also unique, and look hard to achieve. One critique would be that the crane appears like it is about to fall - perhaps building up a counterweight would remedy this? -
[ENTRY][SMALL] Steve's Arrival in Port Royal
YellowFrog replied to Captain Braunsfeld's topic in Pirate MOCs
Fascinating build and a unique scene. Only one thing is missing: a palm tree! -
[ENTRY][LARGE] Steve's Treasure Hunt
YellowFrog replied to KolonialbeamterdeMartinez's topic in Pirate MOCs
Neat build, particularly the hermit crab, mop-plants, and palm tree construction. My only critique would be that the statue in the back feels unnecessary, and looks like a large duck on first glance, perhaps due to the colour scheme. Good work! -
Great rockwork, it looks both natural and cohesive, very difficult to achieve. One critique would be that the shark stands out too much (perhaps use a shark in dark bluish grey instead of old grey), and that in the end, the build is just a large rock. Perhaps plants, or palm trees leaning off the sides, would add to this?
-
Innovative build! The slope is particularly good, and feels natural and well-connected (it lines up with the front as well). Once critique would be that it looks like a skew photo from afar: maybe include something upright behind the main slope, like some more buildings (or just a facade).
-
The connection to a poem is clever, and so is the water under the boat. One critique: the stand looks a little worse than the rest of it, but that's only because the rest of it looks great!

[ENTRY][SMALL] RAFT: The King’s Merchant + Comic book
YellowFrog replied to Marooned Marin's topic in Pirate MOCs
Nice raft. I particularly commend the technic base, I haven't seen one like it. One critique would be that the attachment to it looks a little disjointed, though, and breaks the illusion of a log raft. -
Great part usage: minifigure armour works surprisingly well for boats! It is also satisfying how the angled wedge plates line up so well. This build is perplexing me: how did you attach the bucket handles (for the bridge)?

[ENTRY] [LARGE] - Steve's Upgraded Cutter (The Untold Story)
YellowFrog replied to Andy-Roo's topic in Pirate MOCs
The photography is particularly unique, and the build is great too. One critique would be that it looks too similar to the one in the new Eldorado Fortress: it appears like a stolen design to the untrained eye. -
[ENTRY][SMALL] Steve meets Cap’n Tongs!
YellowFrog replied to SevenDeadlyStreamers's topic in Pirate MOCs
Nice build: I like the use of dark tan for the walls, as it is not often seen in MOCs. The part usage is also great, particularly the minifigure hand bar clip things under the shelf, and the barrel(?) for the table. One critique would be the black base: I think reddish brown would have been less noticeable in the build. -
After the return of Johnny Thunder in the Lego City Jungle subtheme, I needed to give this minifigure a home. So I built him this 16x16 module that will hopefully be the start of an ongoing project where I build these connectable modules into a larger layout. If this goes to plan, the red underground won't be visible. I'm struggling for ideas for the next modules, so if you have any, let me know. I was thinking a desert, a jungle temple, a mountain, a jungle river, a desert city (perhaps like the one in Petra), but I'm unsure where to start. Also, if you know of any similar projects, I would be happy to know of them to get inspiration.

Fair point; images have now been cropped.

After a life of merchanting and piracy, Steve finally decided to retire. He sets sail for Kahuka's Island, hoping to spend his days as a geriatric who lives by the beach, with the company of the local Islanders. This micro-scale MOC shows his boat approaching the island, in anticipation of his holiday. P.S. How do you embed YouTube videos on Eurobricks? I've done it before, but can't remember how.
