Space Pirate version of 6254 Rocky Reef. The seas dried out centuries ago. Blue ocean crystals are the last reminder of what once was. Pirates never left the surroundings of this secret hiding place. Two members of MetalBeard 9000's fearsome crew arrive in a sandspeeder and are seen storing a mysterious liquid in the fortified underground safe...

Captain Fishbone wept as he flew over the once prosperous Caribbean seas. His crew had abandoned him, leaving him with nothing but one ship, his modified flying tugboat called the Rustbucket. My entry to the Eurobricks Space Pirates Contest 'Rum for everybody!' category The Ship is based on Bdubs' fantastic flying tugboat Minecraft build in his Building with Bdoubleo series. https://flic.kr/p/2pB76a5

Here's my entry, apologies for the slightly poor images, it was raining quite a bit here in sunny ol' England so pics were taken inside... Anyway: Just when the Galactic Armada had thought they had seen the last of them, Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits had been sighted again in the South-Eastern Sector bringing chaos and terror from their Frigate-Class Gunboat, the 9-Legged Octopus. Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Fredrick IronHeart was a keen medic in the Galactic Armada. His short carer ended abruptly when he couldn't contain one of his 'experiments' with cloning humans and ended up mutating himself. With the aid of fellow doctor Keith Hazbin, he managed to stop quite a few of his detached organs and limbs from throwing themselves out of the window and built a metal suit to contain himself. Since his throwing out of one of the Armada's capital ship's airlocks, he now proceeds to lead a campaign against human beings being fired out of airlocks. Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Second mate, Andy Royd followed his captain's path and decided that cyborg was the way to go. One day he entered IronHeart's 'surgery' a young man with great ideas. He left more machine than man... Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Crazy Jim the Unlucky had always been slightly an oddball, from his pet fish he carried around with him with it's own H2O tank, to his strange delusions about world domination. But after being struck by lightening, then losing a leg on a jungle planet, before losing another on board an Armada cruiser, then being struck by lightening again, his strangeness has now reached a whole new level... Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Franz Fisher is a near-human the crew picked up on some swampy planet. Nothing else about him is neither worth telling or remotely interesting however. Oh and he likes wearing shades. Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr One-Eyed Spike was another alien in the crew. Despite his somewhat blank expression, he is lethal in combat with his Blunder-Blaster, but is far less handy with a blade. Captain IronHeart and his hearty crew of galactic misfits. by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr The last in the crew is medic droid, F1X-YA. As well as aiding the captain in his 'experiments', F1X is also modified with eye-embedded MusketBeams and top-of-the-range Cannon-Bombs, making the droid something to be worried about. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Opinions and feedback most welcome!

A not so long time ago, colonisation had just begun on a planet not that far away with a barely breathable yet windy atmosphere. After a few research and exploration outpost, a second organisation had just established its base. Initially peaceful relations soured over the newcomers intrusive curiosity, disappearing equipment and their refusal to tell what they came for in the first place. The reservations were mutual. Acting like they own the place just because they were here first?! Ha! Exploration and research -- digging and blowing up things! Do they know what they are doing? They almost forced us to eavesdrop on them! And then they even send the police after us just because one of their generators disappeared. Of course, these troubles seem like peanuts now, after the fateful earthquake. Water was breaking through from the nearby mountains, quickly flooding our base. Just when all space-worthy friendly ships were far away, and probably not in a position to quickly come to rescue! Our only glider offered only weak propulsion and mild levitation that did not even work on water. We almost decided to ask those pesky guys in colorful uniforms for help, but who knows what they would have done? (Send the police after us on trumped up charges? Maybe they would have blamed the earthquake on us? Hey, maybe they caused it? Well, at least they managed not to talk about it on the airwaves, and it seemed they were hit, too.) So there was only one sensible way forward: Scrap the base, build a ship out of it, roam the new sea to see how the other guys could finally help us. Whether they want it or not, arrr! "Hey, whose locker is that? You were not supposed to bring personal belongings to the station!" "Erm...which station?" "Don't make fun of me! What is this? What could you possibly need a sword for?! And this!? A ...crossbow?" "Yes?!..." "Ok, I see..." Personal backstory: Late last year, my parents wanted to refurbish their guest room -- my old room -- and handed me my Lego collection in a box. Also, my daughter got her first Lego - a small princess set. My dark ages thus ended only earlier this year, when I tried to (ab)use my old Ice Planet and Futuron sets to create something resembling an ice castle. I found the results unconvincing, but my daughter liked them and was happy to expand them, rainbow warrior style. Interestingly, when we looked through my collection and I asked here what we could do with it, she asked me to build the Message Intercept Base! And so I did, and she played with it a few times (not spacecraft launches or anything, rather people walking around and making telephone calls or something), and I tried to remember little me playing with it. I drew a blank. I remember I liked the base when I got it - it was my largest set - but it was the only Blacktron I in my collection and so I probably neglected it a bit. I also remember not liking that the opening mechanism did not really serve a purpose (I eventually owned, and preferred, the Cosmic Laser Launcher), and that there were only three trans-yellow corner panels, so one could not build an airtight control tower thing out of it. So, back in the (almost) present, I again thought about what to build out of the MIB parts, and how to integrate it with princesses or at least the castle sets my wife had recently "aquired" from her parents' attic. It just so happens that the above is my first MOC as an adult based on some serious thought beforehand. In fact, I had the idea with the quarter-dome-as-sail and hull-made-of-panels and side-support-quarter-panels some time before I came across this forum, but it was the SPC that prompted me to actually build it. Hope you like the result!
