Posted December 13, 20204 yr Hi everyone! I would like to show you two simple constructions that I have built. The idea was to make something like shop sets, and to refer to the classics, such a contemporary version. Plus a style to match Barracuda Bay. A hut inspired by a set from 1992, Smuggler's Shany 6258, Raft to Castaway's Raft 6257 from 1989. The larger project is 188 parts, the smaller 92. I will share both MOCs with a parts list, the tutorial will be available on my YouTube channel - edge of bricks. I'm also thinking about some more modifications, maybe something from Islanders? ?? Any ideas? What do you think about this projects? Edited December 13, 20204 yr by Kozikyo86
December 13, 20204 yr Nice build. The shanty looks good, I like that is spans across the water to the small outcropping of rocks. The use of the flag pieces for the sail on the raft makes it look tattered. Nice looking figs too.
December 14, 20204 yr Nice work, I could see these being official sets. You have managed to capture the style of the last pirate line and Barracuda Bay with a homage to the original sets. Islanders would be a logical next step!

December 14, 20204 yr Author @zoth33 @Ayrlego @Mister Phes Thanks a lot guys! I'm glad you like it! I thought about Islanders, maybe set 6264 or build some diorama

December 16, 20204 yr Man, that feels like something you could pick off a store shelf today. Pity it isn't so :(.
December 16, 20204 yr Very nice. I like you've combined older sets, with the feeling of the new barracuda bay. If only would see the benefits :)
December 16, 20204 yr Excellent recreation, where did the anemone piece come from and if I may ask your deep reasoning for including it
December 18, 20204 yr Excellent modernization ! I'd love a new Pirate wave based upon this style ! A new Islanders' set would be amazing !

January 21, 20223 yr I love both of those projects, actually the raft inspired my topic here. I'm planning to put them together in Studio soon-ish, with some small mods. The raft is already getting there: Spoiler Edited January 21, 20223 yr by zinnn
February 18, 20223 yr This is absolutely gorgeous! You really recreated the structure of those classic sets sets quite nicely while modernizing their colors and details enough that they feel like they could believably fit in with newer sets like Barracuda Bay. You even managed to include some great play features like secret hiding spots for loot that weren't even present of the original set! And needless to say, it's very generous and diligent of you to create a building guide. I don't really look at MOCs on YouTube very often but I gave your video a look and it's very well shot. I hope all the effort you put into this video is appreciated by your other viewers! I do kind of wish that the shanty roof's texture still felt like thatched palm leaves and less like tiles/shingles. Maybe you could try adding some quarter-circle tiles to the ends of the 1x2 tiles you're already using so the raised portions have more of a "leafy" shape? Your choice, of course. Fantastic job overall!
