CaptainDarkNStormy Posted October 8, 2024 Posted October 8, 2024 Over the summer while we were all consumed with the Steve contest, Bricklink quietly ran their own little Pirates themed contest. I was able to throw in a last minute entry, and have since had time to expand on it. The Bricklink had a part count limit, so afterwards I created a second version with my favorite trans blue tile water technique. This MOC is an an original design, but certainly gets inspiration from the small land based Pirates sets of yore such as 6260 Shipwreck Island, 6258 Smuggler's Shanty, and 1492 Battle Cove. It features a cannon for defense against the pesky Bluecoats, a small cave for hiding treasure, and a hammock under a thatched roof for siestas away from the punishing rays of the Caribbean sun. If ye would like to purchase instructions they are available on Rebrickable. https://reb.li/m/197100 Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Castaway Cay by Chris Boyd, on Flickr Quote
TomSkippy Posted October 9, 2024 Posted October 9, 2024 Love the classic vibe from this. Honestly, I lol'd at the hammock. We've both gone through the same process: cloth hammock, need something brick built, tried the windscreen (incredible idea until one finds that minifigures don't really fit inside), then went back to cloth. Great job! Quote

Great job! Thanks! I much prefer the cloth hammock and have used it in other MOCs. I went with the windscreen piece for the Bricklink contest entry since the cloth one isn’t available in Bricklink Studio. Quote
NOD Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 Beautiful little island! Very good how the cannon is camouflaged behind the palm leaves. The hammock under the thatched roof looks cozy. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 Fine and classic. I like that. Congratulations! Quote
