General MOC-Discussion Ahoy! Ever felt like there's not enough general talk going on here about what matters most in these waters - MOCs? Ever got frustrated over a certain issue with a WIP that you could need help with? Ever thought about posting a WIP but didn't think it would deserve its own thread? Ever wanted to announce a huge, mind boggling, or simply your next project and ask your fellow EB members what they think about that idea? Or have you ever just felt the urge to tease everyone with a blurred picture of your creation or some facts about it before releasing it for good? Well, hesitate no further, this is the place for you! Use this thread as a vessel for all the otherwise unmentioned MOC related talk, use it to discuss sail sizes and capstan designs, ask for ideas, help others with their MOC issues and tease your fellow mateys... with pics of your creations, of course

I searched and couldn't find a topic for this, and thought it was well needed. So everybody can post any photography relating to LEGO pirates in this forum. So here are some of my photos to start it off. Mostly just some close ups. So I hope many people use and enjoy this topic, as I know I have enjoyed these kinds of topics in other themes.

With all the speculation about a new Pirates line in threads like this and this, and the new minifig torsos spotted here, it seems like a good time to talk about your expectations, even if we don't know that such a line is in the making. There have been similar discussions before, but I want this to be different. As you probably know, when LEGO decided to redesign the Castle line, they contacted prominent members of the online Castle community to ask for assistance in designing what this new line would contain. Pirates is different, because it means launching the line fresh, as opposed to just adjusting a currently existing one, so they probably won't contact anyone for advice, even though Classic-Pirates at Eurobricks is the one and only home of LEGO Pirates and they would be wise to consult with us. That said, I do think they look in from time to time, and wouldn't be surprised if someone involved in the process could read this thread. So, I'm asking you to name a single part that you would absolutely NEED for a new Pirates line to satisfy you. One part per post (unless 2 parts are a natural pair, like a chest and it's lid, or a pair of boat hulls). Don't double post to get all of your ideas out. Post the one part you want most, explain in detail why you want it and basically sell your case. Imagine it's being read by the designers at LEGO and you need to convince them that your part is absolutely necessary. Provide pictures, if possible, either of the pre-existing LEGO part, or of the real life item you want made. If you have more parts ideas, wait a while, let others comment, then make another post detailing another important part to you. To make this idea clear, I'll post a little example. The Rag Wrap. A vital piece of headgear for everyone from dock workers to swabbies, it's the iconic topper to the vast majority of your pirate minifigs. Now, imagine it in white. Suddenly, it isn't just good for Pirates, it can also be used for town people as well, thus giving TLG a chance to double dip and use the mold for two different lines and saving a lot of money in the process. Of course, other colours are possible: dark blue, dark green, tan. But I'd be happy with just the originals and white, wouldn't you? Now it's your turn to come up with an idea and make your case here in this thread. The future success of Pirates may depend on it!

hay everyone, im thinking of ways to get around paying the somewhat steep postal charges for buying the 10210 and indeed the national postal service .... being a somewhat collector id rather not have this set crushed etc. Anyway one of the ideas is to hire a currier to pick them up from the warehouse but i need to know the dimensions and weight of each carton, so to those of you who are fortunate to get one so soon *ENVIOUS!!* could you please fill me in? - cheers. oh and could you make the measurements in metric i.e. cm's and kg's lol thanks Also does anyone know the address of the lego warehouse in Sydney??

I am creating the Proper "Unicorn" from Tintin, thanks to Tedbeard for the plans I have started making the Sides as you can see behind but what I tryed to make the side parts I thought are called "Sidecastles" Should I just make it square? But I dont really know. Anyway I have gotten to the Roof...And paused. I cant make a Roof whilst its bending. Also, Is there a easier way to do this? And some help on how to do the back from the Elaborate Shipmakers here? Thanks! The Stern is the hardest, How could I make It go up slanted like that and add the Banister things? EDIT: Also how could I make the Unicorn Figurehead? I asked that before and its what started the Figurehead contest! I never did get a answer...

Ahem. Yes. When I first came here everyone was most helpful in showing me some good references to Middle Eastern pirates and sail, with plenty of good Ottoman visuals. Well I come to you again with another request for aid! This time, I'm looking for good references of the British Royal Navy and Army, from around 1720 to 1740, mostly uniforms. Royal Marines are welcome too if you have anything. Descriptive articles are ok, but I would REALLY love some good visual references! I like to draw and I find it easiest to draw historical things with visual sources instead of written ones. And specifically, for the Royal Navy I need uniform looks for enlisted sailors, captains, lieutenants, and things such as first mates, bosuns, quartermasters and the like. Everything else I just need general information on right now. I thank all who contribute with much grace in advance!!! -
When looking at the adverts down at the bottom, i spotted this on ebay. Which ship is it from? Never seen it before. Purely out of curiosity. Edit: Never mind, realised its cross-bone clipper. Had just never seen the base up for sale on ebay on its own! Feel free to close/delete this, Mods

I know that we have a special ''Event''-forum, but I think for this pirate contest is ''Classic-Pirates'' a better place to share So it will be from 1-3 May in ''Northbrook Court''. I hope we'll get more informations soon! 'Bricks'

Captain Kaboom suggested this idea in the Classic-Pirates.com - The New Users page thread and it seemed quite a good idea to pursue. Here's the list so far... Army Barque Battle Scene Big Parrot Bridge Brig Cannon Caravel Castaway Cave Chinese Junk Church Corvette Cove Davy Jone's Locker Dock Fleet Fort Fortifications Frigate Galleon Gallows Governor's Mansion Graveyard Harbour Hut Inn Island Island Fortress Junk Ketch Lantern Lagoon Lighthouse Man-o-War Merchantman Mill Palace Pirate Hideout Pirate Map Plantation Prison Pyramid (Mayan/Aztec) Outpost Port Raft Reef Sea Monster Sea Serpent Schooner Shack Ship Ship of the line Shipwreck Shipyard Sloop Stronghold Tavern Treasure Island Treasure Trove Volcano Village VOC-ship Warehouse Waterfall Xebec I'll add more suggestions as they're posted and we can elaborate further...

Quite often these imitation Pirate LEGO sets appear while searching for the genuine stuff. But are these knock-offs any good? Report your finds and opinions in this thread.

Evil Stevie's Pirate Game is arguably the most popular Pirate LEGO roleplaying game! If you're interested in playing check out the rules at http://sj.sjgames.com/PirateGame.html Or if you'd like to discuss the game or find some people to play it with, post in this thread!

A frequently asked question by newcomers is where to buy Pirate LEGO. So this thread will be a definitive list for all those who ask - rather than having individual threads for each query. eBay Amazon.com LEGO Shop BrickLink Eurobricks Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds Forum Custom Brick Arms The Little Arms Shops BrickForge BaronSat Original Post Hey all. I used to be really into pirates back in it's heyday (early 90's) and I still have my Black Seas Barracuda :) Recently I've been getting into Lego Pirates again, and been hunting on Bricklink and eBay for the last 2 weeks. So far, I picked up a Skulls Eye Schooner (complete, excellenct condition) from Bricklink for $140 and I also got a Lagoon Lock-Up on eBay for $15.00. I think I got a pretty good deal, what do you guys think? *pirate*

I am very interested to know what kind of Pirate sets the fans of Lego want to see. For example, harbours, blacksmith shops, fishermen, new ships, galleons, anything! I want some more ideas from people who really appreciate the Pirate lines so that I can include them in my sporadic e-mails suggesting new Pirate sets to Lego. Now be as descriptive as you want. I want to see your idea of a good Pirate set in my head!

i was browsing thru my 1990 catalog when my eye caught this pirate fortress called Eldorado... However, the text underneath the set didn't mention Eldorado at all... Instead, it said "Koningsburg", translated in English that's "King's keep"; for the french speaking public in Belgium it's "Mont Royal", which is the French translation for the Dutch title... It's weird tho, because "Eldorado" is a well known name in these parts of the country... the Barracuda pirate ship doesn't exist in Belgium either. It's "Norse Haai", or, "Bad-tempered Shark" ... So i was just wondering what the official titles of these sets are in the rest of the world...

I know this is a popular topic causing much confusion, but haven't seen a thread about it here. Do you consider both bluecoats and redcoats British, or are bluecoats French or is it something completely different? My first opinion was that they are both British, but redcoats are those who serve close to Admiral Woodhouse and hence the special colour and slightly different flags. However, recently I tend to think that bluecoats may be French, which would bring more diversity to the Pirate world. I've also seen other options, like considering both of them the same nation, but calling one of them ground troops or port crews, with the other being navy. It would be something like the diversity of uniforms on "Star Trek" - different for ships, different for bases. But this would require remodelling the original Lego sets - for instance, if you consider the reds to be ship crew, you'll have to change the crew and flag of the Caribbean Clipper, as well as replace the crew and flags of the Imperial Trading post with blue ones and so on. Tell me what you think, which option you agree with or do you have any other ideas? I apologise if this has been discussed in some other thread, but I've looked over all the titles and haven't noticed anything like it.
