  1. Hi everyone, I plan to make a big island, as realistic as possible, starting with a "volumetric" ocean (ie, higher than one plate). I've tried and look at different technics, but I can't find something beautiful. My idea was to have part of coral reefs with transparent tiles or plates or rounds above, but the result doesn't work. Any ideas or example? Thanks in advance!
  2. Not sure for a Lego Idea project, but it'll look great on a shelf or desktop!
  3. Nice ship, mate! Looks like an official set :) And great colour choose :)
  4. I red recently that 17th-18th houses or "habitations" in Martinique and Guadeloupe was painted in white or yellow ocher with timbered structure. If you're interested in, I can send you the link (sorry, it's in french, but with pictures). It's a scientific publication.
  5. WIthout adding shadows, I try to add some reflections, scums and directionnal lights : https://ideas.lego.com/projects/29506 https://ideas.lego.com/projects/42015 Perhaps it can help?
  6. You're island is in very good conditions compare to mine ! Nice work with the light: it gives a new perspective and feeling.
  7. So beautiful! I love the modular building technique, and I've already choose it for my next fort (but it'll be simplier than yours). And great colours scheme ;)
  8. Great "refresh" of this kind of building! I love the idea of movable part and light, and really love all the details. However, it will be hard to display on an event or exhibit and show front and back side?
  9. Thanks :) A toy store in the North of France, last year in July.
  10. Need so many slope to do :) But great result. Looks really like a stone wall. Don't know if it can help, but here is a way to do the angle tower : 20140705 • Pic Wic • Villeneuve d’Ascq • Lego Pirates by Hannibal Joost, on Flickr
  11. @Raskolnikov : Polanski ;) @Dreamweb : I'm not sure, as you mentionned, that it can be released as a theme, due to the fact that most of the "interesting" points of the pirates line are not in this movie (skull and crossbones, eyepatch, big battles with lot of dead, etc. so you know...). But for AFOL, it would be great ;)
  12. Great goal. Keep working :)
  13. No set have this special piece that allow to keep the sabre under the hand ? http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.style-laboratory.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fstylelab-fashion-beauty-blog-pirates-of-the-caribbean-4-lego-characters.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.style-laboratory.net%2F2011%2F07%2Fjohnny-depp-is-in-the-building%2Fstylelab-fashion-beauty-blog-pirates-of-the-caribbean-4-lego-characters%2F&h=258&w=700&tbnid=6w4qn7tGd70MaM%3A&zoom=1&docid=JWkxnvpWGY32LM&ei=_rXhVKq9Fsf0UqG4hKAB&tbm=isch&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=773&page=1&start=0&ndsp=26&ved=0CDEQrQMwBQ
  14. Very very good. Lovely details. And this head in a sack :) Are your creations independent? Or are they intended to be assembled in a bigger MOC?
  15. Nice use, Mrsniady1 (nice ship and beautiful stern!). I didn't see them on Kolonialbeamter project, where are they?
  16. What a strange piece for the angle... sure can be used for something else ;)
  17. Exactly. With a gap (for gun) and 2x3x1 slopes between each of them. But i'm not sure it will fit well with the global shape of the ship. It's hard to get the correct angle, I presume, to make this bow as realistic as possible.
  18. Hi everyone, Did anyone try to use this part, for the sides of a galleon for example? Is this too big ?
  19. I'll probably post intermediate pictures if I have time, but most of them will come after the big expo of my LUG on april. Stay tuned :)
  20. Good work ! The "bubble" on the right gun can be the same on each gun (most rounded).
  21. Wonderful :) And nice shot.
  22. It's not build on base plate (due to modularity), but it's approximately 3 plates by 4 plates of 32 studs each (25cm), so 75 centimeters by 100 centimeters. (And it's not a rectangular plan). Here's the not builded version :)
