Hi
So I am new to legos I suppose. Over this weekend I bought the Brick Bounty, because I always wanted a lego pirate ship since the original came out when I was a freshman in high school. I really like the Brick Bounty. I understand some are denouncing it but it seems really nice. Of all the vintange sets I have seen, I think perhaps only the Skull's Eye Schooner looks better.
Anyway, I want the Treasure island and the Imperial For and outpost. HOWEVER, I must say both these sets look lackljuster compared to some of their predecessors. So now my idea is bite the bullet, get these sets and--particularly in relation to the Imperial sets--use them as a base to modify and improve. In relation to the fort and outpost in particular, I want to create something along the lines of the old EL Dorado fortress.
Any tips for a newbie. Dont' think it can be that hard.
Also, I intend to buy two sets of the shipwreck defenswe to get the two cannons needed to complete the Brick Bounty.
