Brickvergnugen

Greetings from Kentucky! After a decade (and then some) away from the bricks, seeing the new pirate sets on the shelves drew me back a few weeks ago. I tried in passing a few years ago to accumulate a few of the original pirate sets and did pick up the BSB when it was re-released (which currently resides on top of a file cabinet in my at work office), but never really got off the ground with it. Alas, most of my building materials are over 20 years old, so bear with me as I update. These new gray and brown colors are going to be an issue for awhile. I suppose the pirate sets appeal due to my conviction to use the cuba libre for the purpose of scurvy prevention. This is the source of my avatar who has been a long time mascot for me. There is just something about a Lego monkey wielding a sword and chalice that is hard to resist. Using him to top a lime just seemed like the right thing to do for the cause.

Good catch! At least he had a sewing kit on the island to attach that patch!! Agreed! The governor in the Soldiers Fort is nice too (especially since there isn't one in every other set like Brickbeard!).

Quite a bit of humor in the details there. The pantless solder is clever.

Truly well done! Nice work incorporating the new schemes into the old set.

I've been messing around a bit with a few of the new sets inspired by some of the fantastic work on this site and would like to present....Corona Island....it is my kind of action packed playset. I know the background and photography stink, but both should improve as my 'creation station' is a little more polished.
