Justus Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Ahoy! On a base of 16 x 42 studs, the LEGO pirates return - and so do their arch-enemies, the Imperial soldiers. I built this homage to the LEGO classic for Rogue Bricks' annual challenge. Quote

And what a glorious looking return it is! Although, there don't appear to be any Imperial soldiers present at this moment. Quote
Third Navigator Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 your pirate island is cool. you used less pieces and made more qualities. the little island seems to have a lot of stories, so I love this. Quote
Justus Posted January 2, 2023 Author Posted January 2, 2023 Thanks, @Jack Sassy! @Mister Phes: Well, the guy with the tricorne hat is supposed to represent an Imperial... the torsos of the old Imperial soldiers (973pb0527c01) from Pirates II somehow looked too old-fashioned to me and wouldn't have fit into the colour scheme of the MOC either. @Third Navigator: "Less pieces and more qualities" is always very important to me. My parts stock is still quite limited, so I have to try to impress people with small but detailed models... Quote

Ummmm... the Imperials don't need to colour coordinate with the Pirates. Just so you know! Blue coat soldiers very much colour coordinate with white masonry architecture with yellow highlights and have done so since 1989. Quote
Jack Sassy Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Congratulations, @Justus, yer MOC has been frontpaged! Quote
BlackGloveBricks Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Few things can beat a beautiful LEGO Pirates MOC. And this, my friend, is a work of art! Well done! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Beautiful and visually striking! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Wonderful creation. And has a monkey! Quote
Justus Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 Again, many thanks for the positive feedback @Captain Braunsfeld, @LEGO Train 12 Volts and @BlackGloveBricks! Quote
zinnn Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Great little set, looks neat and busy at the same time, and so much fun. Question: how are those yellow tiles attached? Quote
Justus Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 @zinnn: Thanks! The yellow "collumns" are 1x1 clips (BL 15712), "clicked" into each other... definitely illegal Quote
Redhead1982 Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Lovely. I like the clean look and contrasting sides with hallmarks of both opponents. Well built. Quote
Piraten Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Great build. Love the Imperial. A highranked imperial. No doubt !! Quote
Rope Arrow Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Sorry this is old, but where is that specific monkey from? I couldn’t find it on brick link! Quote

It was used in last years Jane Goodall tribute but was originally produced for CMS 5 and again used in Series 7 Chimpanzee with Light Nougat Face and Ears Pattern : Part 95327pb01 | BrickLink Quote
