[MOC] “Some men are born to be pirate captains. Others learn on the job.”

[SamVimes]

Given the internet's love for the misadventures of aristocrat-turned-pirate Stede Bonnet and his crew aboard the Revenge trying to make a name for themselves as pirates, I had to do a liitle MOC.

Not familiar with source material but this be a good version of Stede Bonnet. I must admit, I have never heard of internet communities giving much attention to Captain Bonnet, so this be a new revelation for me. Nonetheless, good job on this diorama!

I've been watching that recently - nicely done minifigs!

Was watching that last night - fun to see it in bricks!

Sorry to bump an old topic, but which hairpiece did you use for Stede?

[Captain Becker]

Dont worry, I´ll bump it again.
The hair is from Harry Potter professor Lockhart if I recall right. But the torso on that matter? Never seen that before

It's 973pb4151c01 from NINJAGO's Tournament of Elements set if we're talking about the one on the right 👌🏻

Thank ye! No wonder since I never been much of a Ninjago fan. Even though its been major success for LEGO As a theme overall no doubt.

My wife got me a Custom Stede from Minifigs.me as a gift. Yours looks almost identical. I've never seen the show the fig is from but I'm familiar with the actual person. He was hung just a few miles from my house. I'm working on a large MOC of historic Charlestowne that will include him at the gallows.

Do not forget to include Blackbeard holding hostages in exchange for medicine.

That's literally my inspiration!!! I'm going to call it "The Siege of Charlestowne"

I plan to display it at a convention in February, so I'll share more once the project is further along. It's going to include historic homes along Charleston's waterfront and @Marooned Marin's Black Pearl!
