Update!

Version 2.0 is out! I remade it more in line with my other MOCs utilizing trans blue tiles for the water. The rockwork is all SNOT built now. Other suggestions from some of yall were implemented as well.

Your bridges look great !! So much better than the LEGO's.

Congratulations!

This is exactly what a re-make should look like! Fantastic attention to detail. Love your palm tree, custom raised base, and of course your bridges. I wish Lego had gone with more tiled surfaces for the Eldorado remake. They could learn a thing or two from you!

This is a great reimagination of an iconic set!

Wow that is a stunning take on Rock Island Refuge!

Bro, this is brilliant. It looks so slick. This is the perfect playset for a batch of pirates to dock up at.

I guess I had the wrong take on this. I interpreted it as just a rocky island that RedBeard’s crew made into their own makeshift fortress/hideout. This is my first time remaking a set that I don’t have the original of. I didn’t think of it being an abandoned/taken over imperial fort.

 

That was my take on it too, that it's was a rocky island turned into a makeshift fort for the pirate crew. And wow oh wow is this just such a fun remake imagining. I keep going back to this thread to look at it and inspire myself. Such great MOCs made on this site. Yours is an inspiration for building something brand new inspired by something old. I really love what you did here.
