Brilliantly stupendous work! I think that a pirate MOC that also represents the Classic Pirates community is absolutely fantastic! I like the Moderators' Avatars being featured in the MOC, along with how smooth the street and deck is! However, there are but a few suggestions for this MOC: *Separate barrels / crates for the different kinds of food. All of the fruit to go into one crate, for example. *Although the movie camera is part of the CP community, I think that it should be removed as movie cameras weren't around at the Golden Age of Piracy. *The skateboard should be removed as skateboards weren't around at the Golden Age of Piracy. Although, these are nothing but my opinions.

You're welcome! Glad to help!

Bravo! I think that this is a very unique and fabulously constructed MOC. I admire some of the techniques you used here, such as the use of a brown tube for the trunk of palm tree and the use of a green cape for grass. The MOC's backstory and the landscape of this MOC is also quite pleasant as well. The only thing I suggest is for the 1x2 plate with handle that is next to the barrel to be removed, as it seems to serve no purpose.

Well done! Fabulously built vignette! I admire the sandy dune, the pirate flag blowing in the tropical wind, and the palm tree! I find the water acceptable, but adding extra detail to it would be nice. Like say white plates between the blue water and sand to represent foam, or replace the blue plates with transparent blue plates. Also, since when did Brickbeard regrow his hand? He should have a hook. Unless, this was before 'ole cap'n Brickbeard lost his hand ....

Well done, I think this MOC has been professionally constructed! The interior of the building is nice and smooth like what you would see in a real life building, and the outside looks natural. Also, the concept of a pirate lass doing the limbo is excellent! I have one suggestion for this MOC, though. The old brown 2x2 round plate should be replaced with a new brown version of it. The old brown paddle is fine, but the old brown 2x2 round plate "competes" with the new brown barrel -- especially since they are both close up. Feel free to do this whenever you get the chance to do it.

You're very welcome!

You're very welcome!

I think the MOC and the background story of it is fabulous, and I like some of its detailed features such as the use of skeleton legs to hold up the safety bar (very clever) and the stream of water dripping down from the top of Pearch Rock. However, certain objects included in this MOC do not match the MOC's theme very well. The Sir Danju purple-with-yellow shield should be removed because it just does not look good there (although it would look good in a pirate captain's quarters or in a hallway of a Navy fort), and the propeller on top should be replaced with something else as the airplane wasn't invented at the time there were pirates. Also, I think you should add some more bricks at the very center of the rock itself; it seems as though the top of the rock is extremely unstable and could tumble over at any second.

Signed. LEGO has been bringing back old classics in new forms recently (Space Police 3, Power Miners, Aqua Raiders etc) and to bring back the western theme is a golden opportunity for LEGO!

Congratulations! You have constructed a beautiful and magnificent MOC that is incredibly detailed. I love what you did with the windows, the roof, the dock, the palm tree and the use of curved "fang" pieces for splashing water! Although, I have just one suggestion. I suggest for 1x1 transparent blue slopes to be added to the water below, non-SNOT water with few transparent bricks looks too solid in color to me. 1x1 Transparent blue slopes tend to be plentiful in most LEGO City sets, since 96% of LEGO City set line is of rescue vehicles.

Maybe the Ignika could fall into a vat of Energized Protodermis that was collected by the GBs during the Core War and placed inside the giant Mata-Nui prototype robot body for use as a power source? Then the Ignika would become the Ignika Nuva, which gives its user the power to shoot soul-like energy from the mask and into something else. Also, the Ignika Nuva would recharge its energy every 3-hours after use. How does that sound?

I think this is terrific and significantly pleasant MOC, and I think it is possible that this can obtain a place in the PTV 2 winning medium-scale MOC category! I truly admire the building structure, the Minifigure scene itself, and the hilarious joke about the 4 Juniors pirate not being invited for not being a REAL pirate Minifigure. One thing I would like to see, though, is for a hat feather to be added to the Governor's hat. However, that is just my opinion.

The second version looks absolutely magnificent! I admire the sophisticated techniques you used to construct the chandelier and windows! I also admire the checkered floor! My only dislike about this vignette is very tiny; I dislike the yellow gem being next to the pink gem, as the yellow gem is very bland in color. I would prefer a sapphire being next the the pink gem. Although, this one little suggestion is possible to do without.

Magnificent! The amount of detail that this MOC has is terrifically stunning! The rocky landscape, the palm-tree and the pub cabin are all so amazing! However, here are a few suggestions I think could improve this MOC: *The umbrella should be a bit bigger; as it doesn't appear to protect Brickbeard from the blazing sun very well. *The water could use a little more detail. Maybe add some more blue transparent plates and 1x1 slopes to it?

The updated version of this vignette looks absolutely marvelous! The amount of detail is stunning! Although, I agree with what previous comments had said. There is too much tan on the pebble road. Otherwise, this MOC has a high chance of winning a place in the small department. No guarantees, but it is quite possible.

It looks better than it did before now! Fantastic work! The only thing about this vignette I dislike now is the black statue. It is too tall for me. I agree with The Alchemyst, the statue should have a different stone color. I would like the statue if it was shorter and a different stone color, or if it was removed. Otherwise, the actual peace treaty signing scene and officer guarding the top of the fort scene is quite splendid.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing, also very impressive and quite clever! A pirate training school? Such a unique and creative thought! I admire the landscape, the monkey, the cobblestone road and the scene itself. It is all so wonderful! The only thing I think this MOC could use is a "Firing the Cannon" lesson for Piratelings. Sword combat and ship navigating are vital for a pirate, but another vital thing is ship combat.

I think this vignette is very well-constructed and quite clever. I admire the technique you used with the water, the custom fly-fishing rods, and your sig-fig in the MOC. However, I think the 1x1 cylinders that form the trunk of the palm-tree should be brown instead of black. Either older brown or the newer Indiana Jones leather jacket brown. I also agree with Cantu about the dock.

This MOC has a very unique concept -- pirates playing Musical FISH-ical instruments! Quite clever. I agree with BadBoytje, I think that you should rebuild the entire stage. Maybe use a large <insert that tiresome argument> base plate or brick (possibly something like this), then add plates on the top of it. Also, I've noticed that the middle balcony-railing brick in the back of the MOC is a different color than the rest. I suggest replacing it with a railing brick the same color as the rest.

This is a very well-built vignette! I admire the MOC concept and the smooth tile plates on the floor. I agree with Blackmoor and Green Buns, I dislike the red+yellow combination and extremely hollow room. However, I also dislike the grill plates on the table; I think they should be replaced with regular smooth tile plates. Another thing I think could use some improvement is the Battlement wall on top that the soldier is standing next too; I think it should be taller.

This is a very well-built and impressive MOC! I love the pebble road and the horse-with-buggy stop! However, there are quite a few things that I dislike about this vignette (the list is very slim). *The street-lamp. I don't like the way the yellow transparent 1x1 round brick is positioned at all. I think the brick should be positioned vertically. Unless, this street-lamp is based on a real style I've never seen before. *I like the flowers when they have the stud side facing up, but that is just my opinion.

I agree with what Adam said, and I think that this is quite clever as well. Another suggestion would be to make the island base itself not look like a square. You might want to add some rounded and slope bricks to it to make it a little more natural-looking. A brick like this 4x4 Corner Round Plate would do the trick.

A very good MOC! I really like the detailed roof, the double-hook double-peg-leg pirate, and the way you made a stand for repairing the musket! However, here are some things I think need to happen; *Smooth plates should be added to the dock to add extra realism. If you ran out of them, you may have to replace the smooth plates on the roof with black slope bricks or some kind of substitute. *Angle the Minifigures so that they are facing the front of the viewer a bit more.

This is an interesting MOC, the amount of detail you put into it is very great, though initially I thought that the skeletons didn't match PTV II very well (Initially though, I understand that this is supposed to represent peace after a battle.) Here are some things I have to say; *You may want to make the building a bit more solid-looking by using bigger bricks such as a 1x2x5. *The ground would look more realistic if you added more sloped bricks to it. These are some good sloped bricks; A sloped 1x1 brick and a sloped curved 1x3 brick. OR you could take Badboytje88's advice on this, which works really well. *You should remove the red 1x2 Technic-hole brick from the top of the building.

I think this is quite a detailed MOC and I am very impressed! The only thing about it I have to criticize is that the yellow shoulder-brackets on the captain should be replaced with gold brackets, as the yellow looks too much like the color of his skin, but that is just my opinion. P.S. The chandelier, the detailed floorboards, the chair and the hilarious basement scene are absolutely marvelous!
