[LEGO Ideas] Skull Island - Skara Kikos

[Takkata]

 

"They told me there would be skulls! Geez, what a misplaced name.."

A LEGO Pirates Island. What better place to dock your pirate ship than an tropical Island? Islands always seem to have a fantastic history behind them, it provides a real sense of adventure!

The set, unlike many traditional LEGO Pirate sets, would be focused more around the island itself, landscaping would take priority over manmade structures and boats.

Magnificent! Everything is so well done. Great eye for detail such as submerging the back half of the jolly boat and the islander totems.

So great. The cave shapes and those brick-built trees are fantastic. Nice application of greenery overall, too. My only criticism is that, even with the build video, I wish you had more pictures posted of these creations so we could take in the details more closely!

[Graham Gidman]

That water...

[ThunderWarrior]

Fantastic! Amazing rockwork!

[blackdeathgr]

That water...

That flora too... magnificent

[Kolonialbeamter]

... That everything. Sorry, no constructive criticism here, since every emphatic praise of one great feature would mean to disregard those I didn't mention...

Brick on!

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Great to see that you are back.

An excellent creation once again.

Where are the monkeys?

[Staslegomaster]

It's an eye-catching masterpiece, worth the time. And it's even difficult to choose which part of it is the best. I like the playability of your creation and that you combined a few different ideas in one set. Please compare yours to my Pirate battle island and Soldier's Arsenal. Perhaps we can exchange building techniques because I admire some of your ideas.

[Blufiji]

Now that's a paradise! Echoing others, the water, flora and rock work are outstanding.

[Turkey]

Way nice! I like the cave. I would've died for a set like this as a kid. Playability would have been excellent

[Plaid Beard]

Excellent work! Your details are incredible!

[Capt. Stabbin]

Outstanding work! Some of the best rock work I have seen, and the water is very nicely done.

[Hartfan]

Great built. Love it.

[Hobbythom]

Awesome build. The vegetatiob is simply perfect!

[gcanik]

The coloration of the water w/ the layered tiles is spot on...also digging the carved look of the bilateral stone carvings.

[Frozen Assasin]

Awesome build but..that's not the right skull island. It is way too peacefull and stuff...

[ManInATopHat]

This is insanely good. The gates, beach, and water is just fantastic. The skull is amazing. I love how you made it look rocky and realistic and didn't just build an actual skull. Outstanding work!

[LegoPercyJ]

I love the way you made the skull! :thumbup:

[Mr Greeble]

Flippin' Fantastic man!

[Borex]

The teeth of the skull in the water are great. Now i'm curious what is in the cave :-(

[parksroad]

Gorgeous! The brick-build skull island sets (Skull Island, Volcano Island, Treasure Island) have always been my favorite pirate sets. Wonderful work :D

[BricksMcgee]

Brilliant rock work - looks very natural.

[BrickOn]

Amazing, I am loving the skull's teeth in the water... very scary looking! And the water... and the foliage... all so good! One day I will have enough grey bricks to attempt this.

The teeth of the skull in the water are great. Now i'm curious what is in the cave :-(

My thoughts exactly, something must be lurking in one of those caves...

More pics please!!!

[FatTina]

Incredible! How much pre-planning did that take?
