I think this is awesome and worth blogging and featuring on social media in the future! But for now, let's frontpage it on Eurobricks. Quote
AlmightyArjen Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Awesome, just awesome. Looks finished and complete with lots of details. Put it on Ideas, instant buy for me! Quote
zinnn Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Amazing stuff, I love the mix of red bricks at the bottom and white on top, looks really cool + I can imagine it would be a nice change when building it. Would love to see the whole build from behind though, would you be able to take a photo from that angle please? Quote
the Inventor Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 @Mister Phes Thank you. @AlmightyArjen Thanks, I'm also really pleased with the result. I have never put a MOC on ideas though, never really looked into it. @zinnn Thanks, I can add some (more) unedited pictures on Brickshelf. @Brickander Brickumnus and @TheBeeze Thanks. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Beautiful - an excellent modern/classic creation. Heel mooi! Quote
Red Rackham Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Amazing. Perfect color scheme. I really really like the archway (with the cannon looking through). Quote
Marooned Marin Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Gorgeous build, I especially love the tower with tiles poking out Quote
Jack Sassy Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) A fascinatingly detailed build! There is far too much detailed for me to even start giving feedback on. An amazing job! Edited January 31, 2022 by Jack Sassy Quote
Feuer Zug Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Great work on this build. The buildings are perfect. All the details are present, but the minifigs in their various duties give the scene life. I do like that you have an interior for the buildings. Now, is that soldier really going to spank the money with the oar? Quote
NOD Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Very nice diorama! I like how the fortress was built on the rock right by the pier. The architecture is interesting and varied. Next to it is a beautiful sandy beach with palm trees. Quote

NickCartel Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 I love this. Just 1 thing I'd add more cannons to defend such a nice port. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Really well made, yet still retaining that sought after "LEGO-ness". Quote

Merlo Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Perhaps not playful enough to be a classic Lego set, but otherwise stunning. I don't think anyone would mind an imperial counterpart to the pirate bay :) Quote

VaneStream Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Great build! Love the shape and design of the whole thing! Quote
Mr Maniac Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Beautiful work here, and a welcome update to some of the older Pirate forts with plenty of silliness of course. One thing I'd love to know is how you secured that red roof. It offers such a welcome contrast from the white and is sloped at a very effective angle. I've tried sculpting a terra cotta-like roof using similar round bricks for the Imperial Armada, but never got the angle right. Quote

I don't think anyone would mind an imperial counterpart to the pirate bay :) I understand the phrasing so i'm going to go back to when i was kid and remember who cared about "playful enough" (i dont mean you i just mean Lego's idea of how to create sets in the 2020's) I made the sets playful by jumping off the wall, Rowing up to the deck, shooting the cannon, Sliding down the pole, defending the fort, etc. Edited February 1, 2022 by natesroom Quote
Krol Zmija Sebastian Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Looks good. I like it all, from the insides, to the water. Quote
