The disney deal, implications to the pirate theme?
QuartermasterRobert replied to n'henk pas's topic in LEGO Pirates
Personally I am more excited for the Prince of Persia stuff! Think about all the new parts! Can you all say OTTOMAN PIRATES? -
Review: 6192 Pirate Building Set
QuartermasterRobert replied to Skull-Mark_Ladybug's topic in LEGO Pirates
My girlfriend got me this. I love it just for the pirate torso. I used the parts to make something like a fish shack. -
I'll address that when I get to it, lol. I'll look up and see if legs come in that color first. EDIT: I just did my searching, and I don't think legs come in that color, sad to say. So yes, a version in brown would be nice.
-
.... I am just speechless. These are PERFECTION. They are EXACTLY what I needed! But now I must ask: what color did you use for Ulan, and what sets does her skin tone come in for minifigure arms and legs?

Requesting these 6 characters as face decals. I would like them to stay as simplistic and "TLG" as possible, while still capturing their characters. So generally speaking, Mme Voodoo is a lovely African expression, a brown version of this will sufice. Lyn is a neutral-to-frowning Asian face, something like this but with bangs instead of a headband. Kalila should be a demure expression, Ulan an excited/happy one, Ruixiong needs the hairlock covering his left eye and red headband, and Singlung should be a neautral-to-smirky Asian male face, and both eyes can either be open or closed in "neko" style. As for colors, NO FLESHIES. Lyn, Singlung and Ruixiong should be yellow. Mme. Voodoo and Kalila are african, so they should use whatever shade of brown is used for black characters (like Mace Windu). Ulan I'm not sure for her color, but if minifigure arms and hands come in a light brown, that would be swell. If they don't then her decal can be brown as well. I know this is a complex request, but it is highly needed for a project of mine.

Which pirate captain do you like now?
QuartermasterRobert replied to General Armendariz's topic in LEGO Pirates
I've always been partial to Iron Hook. He had a cooler name, looked more badassly rugged, and got to harass Islander women. -
Requesting a War of Spanish Succession era redcoat: Basically a simple justacorps in red with a bandolier and belt. Or something. Lol. We need more early 18th century uniform decals.

I love that organ gun.

Black Seas Barracuda. SES might have a more easily accessed hull and more broadside cannon power, but thats it. Its good for parts... not so much for the model itself. Its ugly, a tub with cannons in the middle of it. BSB is beautifully detailed and is much more displayable. There isnt even a deck on the SES!

Imperial Guards: Bluecoat and redcoat uniforms
QuartermasterRobert replied to Dreamweb's topic in LEGO Pirates
I'm mixed. The torso used for the bluecoat's leader is perfect for British navy, but the bluecoat soldier uniform itself isn't. On the flipside, the redcoat's leader is good for an infantry commander, maybe, and the redcoat body perfect for soldiers. -
PICTORIAL REVIEW: 6243 Brickbeard's Bounty
QuartermasterRobert replied to Svelte's topic in LEGO Pirates
This ship is amazing. I love the new hull pieces. They have more probable use than the old ones! -
PICTORIAL REVIEW: 6239 Cannon Battle
QuartermasterRobert replied to WesternOutlaw's topic in LEGO Pirates
THis possibly makes a better Impulse set than the actual impulse sets, just because of the cannon! -
I don't deserve to win. I am a lowly and humble man. And honestly, whats with all the marlins?

With some creativity using the Adventurers Orient Expediction sets, combined with Pirates and maybe some Star Wars, its not too hard to make Ottoman/Arabs. A red or bluecoat with a red or white turban and scimitar makes a good janisarry. The Jedi robe torsos from Star Wars are good for desert robes. Also: in the MOC index is a Xebec, which was an Ottoman/Arabic warship. Its very accurate too.

And therefore no need for excessive violence
-
I dont think this is a PTV entry, dood. Anyway, I love this and want moar photos. I love how much it resembles old lego pirate sets... just macro sized.
-
Very creative use of the Alpha Team badguy torsos and the twoface henchmen torsos. I also love the collar on the red haired man.
-
I enjoy historical accuracy too... but let's face it, lego pirates are anything but that. And again, the contest rules do not specify that anachronisms are a bad thing. Also, the gulliontime came before the shako or bicorne did (or around the same time), and I've seen PLENTY of entries with both.
-
I don't know why everyone is complaining about the anachronism. This is a "horrendous violence in lego" contest, not a 'historically accurate lego" contest.

The new soldiers, what shall I do with them?
QuartermasterRobert replied to Bonaparte's topic in LEGO Pirates
Personally I like the new ones better because of the red torso... it looks like they're wearing a jacket now. The old ones only looked like "redcoats" from up front :p -
The new soldiers, what shall I do with them?
QuartermasterRobert replied to Bonaparte's topic in LEGO Pirates
I like the idea of highlanders! If you can make a good enough kilt, I'd love to see how!
