Creating Thumbnails Step 1: Getting the Thumbnail link If You're using FireFox Right Click on the thumbnail in the Brickshelf folder and select "Copy Image Location" If You're using Internet Explorer 6 or above Next Right Click on the thumbnail in the Brickshelf folder and select "Properties" then wait for the Properties dialogue box to appear. From Address: (URL) highlight the entire link and then copy (CTRL C or Right Click then select "Copy"). E.g. Highlight Make sure you highlight all of the URL as it may span 3 lines!!! To ensure you highlight the entire URL click it and then press CTRL A or Right Click then "Select All". Step 2: Paste Thumbnail link into Eurobricks Return to Eurobricks thread. Select the Insert Image button then paste (CTRL V or Right Click and select "Paste") the Brickshelf URL into the box that pops up. The result should be the following: Step 3: Getting the Image link Return to Brickshelf. Click on the thumbnail to load into a Brickshelf Preview of that image. Click on the preview image to go directly to the image file. It is important to click a second time because if you copy the preview URL you will get an error message when attempting to post the image in the forum. Highlight the image address in the Address Bar then copy (CTRL C or Right Click then select "Copy"). Address to be copied should look something like this: Step 4: Make the Image a link Return to Eurobricks Highlight the image code you have just inserted and then click the "Insert Link" button. Paste the link you just copied into the dialogue box which appears. The URL tag should wrap around the IMG tag, for example: Remember The code should only occupy ONE line, it only spans two lines in this example because of space limitations. Be sure to let users know the thumbnail is a link otherwise they may not realise. End Result You should finish with this: Click on Thumbnail to view larger image

No, no asking required! I've gone and done it. So lets see how the new title works.

Someone has been into the Caribbean Clippers again... But it appears they've created a custom flag.

Mr Enoa, I'm wondering why you've described this as a "small" Islander Temple? This is the biggest Islander temple MOC I've seen so far so perhaps I should rename the description to make the thread seem more impressive - after all the MOC is impressive and so should the thread title!

Get a load of this stern! Its like is some kind of floating hotel!

Does anybody know if those barrels are supposed to represent cannons?

Good work Mr Tiber! Although that link should also be added to the first post too for the convenience of first time readers

It would appear the original animation isn't a "commercial" as such, even though it has a plug for California Cheese at the end. However it appears this thread is turning into a collection of Pirate LEGO animations so perhaps its title should be amended to reflect that.

I wasn't sure if that was possible so I didn't want to demand you provide one. But I can be more demanding in the future . X-D

So if you don't regularly use eBay then where are you going to regularly obtain pictures of these fake sets in order to keep this thread up-to-date?

Yes, Mr Willems is correct on a technicality, however any LEGO creation which hasn't been officially released by The LEGO Group is classified as a "MOC" so thats why it must go in the Pirate MOC forum. Anyway, good work Mr Tiber!

Yes, lets leave it for Mr Tiber to sort out! He can use the practice. However, Mr Willems could you please post MOCs in the Pirate MOC sub-forum in the future? Mr Tiber might become quite disgruntled if he has to do this frequently. X-D

All those who complain there's not enough Islander MOCs better be following this thread. This is a very magnificent creation and probably the best Islander MOC I've ever seen. Its certainly much better than my two feeble Islander creations. None the less its very inspiring any maybe one day if I have the time and space I'll build a better Islander MOC.

Maybe Mr Tiber's book will provide more diagrams... And maybe not...

Errrr... Isn't the official language of Brazil, Portuguese?

Don't suppose you could get a picture from this book, Mr Tiber?

Never mind feeling stupid - more important do you have any Imperial Troops from the Pirate theme?

What do you mean there are no cannons Mr Tiber? I can see one obvious cannon at a seconds glance!

And what deeply impresses you about the USS Potempkin, Mr Asuka? Is it because its unusual or because it has a lot of fine details? What do you mean its unusual anyway?

I've also been wondering who these two fellows are:

That sounds awesome Phred - well as awesome as text can sound! Anyone else out there with triple guns to share? What about this Cold Cofee fellow? Is he still lurking about?

To be honest I wasn't aware you'd made all these additions to this thread until now, which seems to be 10 days after your last post. The reason Bonaparte succeeded is because he gave this thread a more prominent name and when I first saw this thread I wasn't expecting future additions. I thought you were just featuring what you'd shown because you never indicated in your first post what your intentions were. Secondly the thumbnails do make a big difference, like it has been said: A picture is worth 1000 words although I do like the idea of having the name of the MOC and its creator. Nobody has intentionally "ripped you off" Mr Oo7, its all came down to who had the better organisation.

Welcome Enoa! May I recommend when the Brickshelf folder is moderated that you create a new thread for your MOC? Am I correct in assuming that your mother tongue is French?

I had an arcade ROM version emulated through MAME once upon a time.

Excellent work old chap! Now I've seen the above picture I'm wondering what Amsterdam would look in more subtle colours, closer to those in the picture. And no, that's not a hint to rebuild it.
