That is my plan in the future when I get it at lest I'm trying to build the wreck sections with stock parts and the Brick Bounty set. Works quite well sofar. Quote

I'm sorry if I'm uninformed, but do you have instructions or digital file to build the original Pirate Bay? Or do you use only the IDEAS pictures as reference? Quote

Fun, but a lot of hard work as well. But who I am telling... You did the same thing with the Barracuda bay, if I understood well...

Guess that was not less work Yeah, it was hard but I loved the challenge, though it was a bit easier just because there were several more pictures from different angles I could use for reference to build it. Then, when I got the published instructions, it was fun to see where I did "wrong", but I really loved the challenge nonetheless That's why I said you two are doing an excellent work, because it is and it requires lots of patience and interpretation.

Yeah, exactly, if it wouldn't be fun too, I wouldn't do that Sometimes I think, that's not possible to build, he must have made an error or something, but mostly he is right and I find a way do build it. Hope someday I can get the file from Pablo to compare too. Here again, put the work of @Brickander Brickumnus and me together, and it looks lovely, all the first floor done. Guess we might just finish it until easter:not the pirate bay 25 by Victory Count, en Flickr Quote
Elusys Ra Arwal Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 It does look very nice. Seeing the torches and lanterns on adds a lot to it. Are you guys going to make an alternative version with a brick-built base? Quote

But @Brickander Brickumnus mentioned something about building a brick-built base, would be interesting for sure. Yeah, funny thing that when you use the "trans-light orange" they seem to shine after rendering, and with the other colors they don't Edited April 8, 2020 by victorycount Quote
Elusys Ra Arwal Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 It is understandable that you are going to work on your own projects, though I'm glad to learn that @Brickander Brickumnus will work on the base. I thought you added light through photoshop or something similar, because in my renderings they never shine that much. Maybe you're also using a darker background so it accentuates the effect and I didn't notice it in mine? You're using stud.io right? Maybe there's some other setting in the rendering panel that creates this "shine effect", like a certain lighting positioning or something else that makes the digital light refract more on those parts specifically?

rainfall Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 I am a novice here and have basically no experience with such LEGO software, but I wanted to create the original Pirate Bay so badly, that I just started. First I download all the pics about it available and also a short video. Applied the scene filter in VLC to make as much snapshots as possible. Installed the Stud.io and started to put brick pieces together. It's fun and an ant work too. I have just put together the baseplate and boats, maybe 20 steps. And now I see your model and I am amazed! @victorycount + @Brickander Brickumnus amazing, splendid and wonderful. We are so lucky to have you, doing fantastic job! Please keep up. Thank you very much. Quote
Brickander Brickumnus Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 No point in starting over from the beginning and getting into all this trouble, since we have already done this. It would be a pity. Do the section in the red circle and send us the file to incorporate it. That way we will finish faster. Quote

Haha, fully agree, I think I wouldn't do it again, and even less alone, and if someone already did it 1 hour ago, rainfall said: I am a novice here and have basically no experience with such LEGO software, but I wanted to create the original Pirate Bay so badly, that I just started.

Thank you very much. Hey there, welcome, I'm also quite new here. And thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Was really some hard work there, and I also recommend not to do it again; sometimes it's fun, then again it's so annoying to loose like an hour searching some error which you can't find... As @Brickander Brickumnus said, would be nice if you'd help us to build the second floor of the main building. That's still quite a work. I can also share my io file, so you see if everything fits. 6 hours ago, Elusys Ra Arwal said: I thought you added light through photoshop or something similar, because in my renderings they never shine that much.

No, really, I don't do any special tricks, just standard "photoreal" rendering. It just has to be the "trans-light orange", doesn't depend on anything more, you can see it in my "El morro" MOC everything is glowing, then on the picture with the kitchen and some other pictures I used some darker orange an it doesn't glow anymore... You should try it, maybe you never used that color Quote
Brickander Brickumnus Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Part in orange circle almost done. @rainfall when you do your section, we can combine and the tallest structure of the main building will be complete. Quote
rainfall Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 OK guys.. working on the room next to jail.. Am I counting right the baseplate for the section is 16 x 12 ? But this doesn't help much.. "You are only allowed to send 0 messages per day. Please try again later." Quote
Brickander Brickumnus Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Yes. Check PM, I send you a file Quote
victorycount Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) We're almost there, the crew is ready, just waiting for one roof and the second floor of the main tower. Oh, I see that the shark isn't there yet And does anyone knows where to find this small terrier dog in stud.io? Btw. just noticed that they seem to be a quite pacific piratecrew, there are no weapons besides the cannons. not the pirate bay 28 by Victory Count, en Flickr Edited April 9, 2020 by victorycount Quote
Elusys Ra Arwal Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 It works very well without the second floor. So, did you guys try to see how much it would cost so far?? Quote
