Posted August 15, 20159 yr Captain Hook by Rolli, on Flickr "Allow me? I am Captain James Bartholomew Hook, world's most famous crook - captain of the fine mighty Jolly Roger and its crew, honorable pirate, finder of many treasures and killer of the Croco... Okay, who am I kidding.." For some reason, Disney's Captain Hook was always a favorite of mine. Not really evil, clumsy and funny at times, having his own nemesis in the shape of a comical crocodile - and always being outwitted by Peter Pan. Or clumsy Mr. Smee. Long story short: I had to build him - in this iconic pose, including the crocodile. It was great fun and a challenge to build at this scale, especially with those limiting colors (I'm talking to you, magenta!). A pirate contest on the Norwegian forum Brikkelauget"]http://brikkelauget....o"]Brikkelauget provided me with the perfect opportunity so it had to be done :D Looking forward to hearing what you think and if you like Mr. Hook!

August 16, 20159 yr Amazing build! Great colours and clever parts usage! I like the posing and the facial expressions of both Hook and the crocodile
August 16, 20159 yr This is so amazing, The look on his face, the iconic pose. You got it right 100% Love it!!
August 17, 20159 yr An unspeakable LEGO masterpiece!! My jaw dropped just wider that that of your crocodile.
August 17, 20159 yr Ha, ha, fantastic build and posing Rolli, superb expression on the Captain's face, and the color-scheme is excellent as well! Great crocodile too, and congrats on the front-page!
August 17, 20159 yr That eyes looks like it's popping out as Hook is about to meet his demise. Now I need to dig out my DVD and watch it.
August 19, 20159 yr Another excuse for LEGO Friends which brought us the new colors. The highlight in this model is the face, which looks better drawn than i the original film. It captures all the emotions one might expect from such a scene - or even more - and with just so few parts. Congratulations!
August 26, 20159 yr Wonderful work on the facial expression (It looks like the eyes were made for this)! And on the entire build of the captain too! My one little nitpick is thatthe knees look toobig. Is it necessary for the posing?
August 30, 20159 yr Author My one little nitpick is thatthe knees look toobig. Is it necessary for the posing? Yep. They need to be that big since they are covering up the mixel hinges underneath. They look great in person though, the right knee on the photo just looks really extreme at this angle. Thank you all for the great feedback! I was blown away by the reactions I received for Hook!
