Capt. Kirk

Nice use of the baseplate !!! The "sacks" that you see on the right... are these off. TLC products... not that I have a problem with it if not. But if so... could you please give a link to the BL-cataloq... thx in advance.

Cool !!!

I vote IronHook... Not that he's so fantastic but the other 2 captains look the same IMO (Brickbeard = updated Redbeard).

I voted for the Caribbean Clipper...something else then a figure. Not that I don't like a figure on the front but it's so classic IMO.

Redbeard will enter the classic hall of fame...

They all look very nice...certainly the shield with the crow...

Looks very cool Zack !!!

Hi Daniel,... welcome to Eurobricks...

I'm not the Harry Potter expert... but it looks very nice... and with alot of details...

This is good. The shape of the hull is very realistic looking and nice colours too. Good job with the mast and rigging also. But I follow HMS243 about the sails... they look really good of shape, but you could maybe use a different colour - not white. Maybe draw stripes or something else on it, just to break the purity of the white. But in general... great !!!

Good improvement... keep it up !!!

PERFECT !!!... THANKS Cpt. Pegleg Blockbeard... great help... and that's the way I gone make them...

Think that this is realistic. Instead of canons and such. Now dreaming is pleasant but the price will be unpleasant if you want a lot more than minifigs... I don't know if these sets are official, but I think if a battlepack comes out it will look like this. That is true Captain Zuloo, TLC has listen to the cry of the American AFOL's... and respect for that. But the Polish AFOL's also written an open letter to TLC to lower the prizes of Lego in their country because their very very high (the prices in Polish S@H are 30% to 100% higher than in other European countries). I don't know TLC will react to their cry because this community is much smaller. Differently said, their sale market is less and it's all about the money. I understand that TLC is no a benevolences institution,... but an equality in prize would be fair. Source: Polish open letter

Ooops,... then he must to go to Ebay (or another bidding site) or Bricklink... but watched out for the prizes... spend your money wisely and good luck !!! It was brought out again in 2001 (first release in 1996 - source Lugnet). Redbeards Runner - 1996 Redbeards Runner - 2001

Hi Cpt. Pegleg Blockbeard, Thanks so far for your help... SUPER!!!... but is it possible to show with yellow and in front, side and back view... doesn't matter what figure you use (with shako or tricorn). Thanks in advance for your help... respect !!!

I think if the 2nd Pirate-line comes out, TLC maybe will bring out a Pirate-battlepack, however,… not at this moment in my opinion. The 1st line is just out and in some countries not entirely (read: all the pirate sets in the stores). I think TLC first want to get their investment repayed before investing again. That's the natural way of business. But if we compare it with the first sets in the early years we see that TLC released very fast a "battlepack" in 1990 -> #6251 (Pirate Mini Figures). If we can count this as a battlepack of course. So I think nothing can be said with certainty and only TLC know the answer.

Hi Andreas, If I want to order some stuff,... how does this work ? And is it possible to see your "catalogue" with your work somewhere ? Thanks in advance for a reply. Grtz, kurt

Thanks for the advice about MLCad... respect !!! But I don't gone download MLCad... not that it can't be handy... but I have some many graphic & 3D programma's on my computer yet. Regarding the white backpack... I know about the white backpack... saw it on BL... thx !!! I think I gone use the white backpacks instead of the brown or redish brown ones. The white ones together with yellow epaullets will give a nice look... I think... Maybe it was a type-error LegoKing... dark gray instead of dark green... but dark gray sounds nice too. Maybe I gone try this also... but first I gone try the dark green. I think it will look nice with the gold. The plan to airbrush the torso is very simple and easy... I just gone use some fine mask-tape for cars (Fine Line Masking Tape 1/8''). This tape I gone sticks over the white/gold and black on the torso in fine strips. So that only 4 red colour areas remain. Would not be hard to do because you can bend the tape and spray a fine layer of paint with an airbrush. Example of Fine Line Masking Tape 1/8'' Thanks... I hope I can show you some pictures within the next 2 weeks.

Ye Ye,... I'm a blue coat fan... the red coats I only use to airbrush in another colour like dark green... Please red coat fans... don't take this comment to serious.

Or go tooooo... TLC Pirates

Let the Palmtree come higher than the tower...

I follow Mister Phes in the fact that the Indy Natives look very well with the Imperial Armada. Nice little moc by the way...

Like Cap'n Blackmoor: the cabin looks a bit high compared to the rest. I would build it a brick or 2-3 lower. What you also could try is use the 1x1 round bricks at the outside of the windows instead of the inside. But overall nice build... keep it up.

Funny Moc...

I love you steambike and the details... nice work Jordan !!!
