[MOC] HMS Sea Hawk. With motorized functions and lights!
Elephant Knight replied to Elephant Knight's topic in Pirate MOCs
It does not. The cannons are ratchet joint bricks. The interior is too full of the power function motor and battery box, along with all the cords. EKnight -
So I built a ship incorporating some Power Function features. A ship utilizing the coral and dark bluish grey hulls together. Coral only had the top section in one Friends set, and the DBG only came in the avengers Helicarrier. The two hull pieces worked together better than I anticipated. It's built in a much later age style than what I tend to do, much straighter, less curvy. This ship honors my older brothers MOC from 17 years ago or so. He built a ship, called it the Sea Hawk. Combined with the 2009 Pirate line being announced, was what really kicked off my enduring love for Pirate Lego. I have fond memories of it. All lit up! But guess what... It does more! Click here to see a picture of it moving. It's motorized! Let me know what you think! EKnight (Incidentally, does anyone know why I can't embed pictures from Flickr like I used to? I used to be able to just copy and paste the link, and the pictures would appear here on the post. It doesn't now. I assume it has something to do with the recent forum update?)

[BRICKLINK] 910053 The Thieves of Tortuga
Elephant Knight replied to Retrocity's topic in LEGO Pirates
Yeah, I was just noticing that, too. The bar was much closer to sold out when I bought than it was when I just looked. Eknight -
[BRICKLINK] 910053 The Thieves of Tortuga
Elephant Knight replied to Retrocity's topic in LEGO Pirates
I didnt think I was going to buy, it felt rather pricey, but then I got a thinking, and realized this would be very handy to have for my comic, A Pirates Life. So I checked around 11 (it opened at 9 AM my time) and there were still some to be had. So I bought it. We'll see if I fell it was worth the money, but cant go wrong with 4002 pieces. Right? Eknight -
Thank you, glad you all like it! The sails are custom made. I had bought some cloth that was a decent match. Then I used a combination of some Gesso, acrylic paint, watered down, and 3 or 4 coats on the cloth. I ended up getting almost a perfect match on my first try. I hope I can replicate it later on when I need to make more sails. I have two other ships built with the same batch, one is a updated old MOC, the other is waiting for a few parts to finish. Eknight

My latest addition to my Imperial Fleet, commissioned and built to replace the HMS Fate, which was sadly sunk off the coast by pirates. My regular method of copying links from Flickr here for pictures doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing this is because of the Forum upgrades a while back? I don't have a lot to say about this MOC. I've been experimenting with curved slopes for the hulls a bit, especially after the success I had with the Margarite Hamilton merchant ship. I think it worked quite well again in this small vessel.

[OFFICIAL] One Piece LEGO Theme - PRE-ORDERS
Elephant Knight replied to thewatchman's topic in LEGO Pirates
Lego themselves have revealed it on their websites, all the sets are there now available for preorder. The figs do nothing for me, dont look all that useful for someone, like me, who uses yellow figs. But the ship is much more interesting to me than i anticipated, I may have to get it. Swap out the mainsail and crew, maybe add a bowsprit, but not modification needed. Eknight -

Useful Pirate Pieces from other Themes?
Elephant Knight replied to ZCerberus's topic in LEGO Pirates
I love the briwn torso, more variety in pirate torsos is always a win. The tan torso will be a nice addition as well. EKnight -
I would put it as unlikely for both. As pointed out above, most Lego ship models start at the sea line, so a below decks doesn't exist. This is also judging based on the rumored parts count that others have pointed out as similar to some MOCs. As for the hammocks, I would guess slightly more likely, but I really have no idea how Lego would go about it. EKnight

I know not all people's screens are the same size. mine currently has the SMF quartermaster half shown, Steve is almost directly in the middle of my screen, so that's good. It's currently looking very empty to Steve's right. I agree the 10210 Imperial Flagship needs to be back up there. And a classic monkey! EKnight
