1000539o.th.jpg

An introductory shot, of the sizable Dragon Corsair head quarters, all contained on a small archipelago with piers and beams sunk into the ocean floor!

1000541m.th.jpg

Treasure row boat, with one of the Dragon Corsair Captains, and a Wolf Pack Renegade (they also became Sea Pirates during the Golden Age of Piracy :pir-wink::pir_wacko::pir-grin: ).

1000542y.th.jpg

An overhead shot, sans the various sea craft, to get an idea of the actual base of operations on wharves on its own.

1000543e.th.jpg

Bird's eye view, as you can see this is no meager pirate hideout, and I can tell you it comfortably sets well on 4 blue base plates in a t-shaped arrangement. Sadly, I didn't take any pics of that! :pir_bawling:

1000546io.th.jpg

Quarter angle from the southwestern, left-back part of the Dragon Corsairs' Harbor Hideaway.

1000547r.th.jpg

A closer shot of the main building, and central hq of these scurvy dragon-themed mateys.

1000548h.th.jpg

A shot of the south end, and ornate window, tower, and hand cannon, at the rear of the HQ.

1000549s.th.jpg

The Southeastern sector. Docking for ships is here, as it is on almost every side, but also the weapons specialist mans his catapult and all manner of deadly devices, a sawfish attacks a hapless buccaneer trying to cross the swinging bridge, a Dragon Corsair Lieutenant mans the special flaming object lobbing, adjustable mortar cannon. That box is red-hot, preparing ammo for this deadly device! Also, ladder access to the roof, and the boarding plank, which is visible on the north end, in the background, sorta.

1000551p.th.jpg

The eastern end. Various features that I described in the last subtitle, including the Dragon Corsairs' Harbor Hideaway's signature weapon, can be viewed with more detail here.

1000553l.th.jpg

The north side, and nearly all of the hideaway is visible in this shot from this angle, as well.

1000554a.th.jpg

Close up shot of the roof, where the cook is hard at work, and the two lieutenants man the hand cannon and mounted muskets, and signature weapon, plus a gunner to the right, and weapons specialist in the distance.

1000556g.th.jpg

A shot of the interior of the main building, complete with magical weapon and item storage, including the special wing weapon that summons Tsunamis of fire and sends out fire wind blade projectiles, used by a descendant of a Dragon Master, who became a Dragon Corsair. He should be pictured later on. If not here, then in another MOC of mine, for sure. There's also the trap door which leads to the ocean below. Ideal for hiding all manner of secret items and treasure, or dumping bodies, and a jewel!

1000557j.th.jpg

Same as above, with slightly different angle.

1000558x.th.jpg

Head-on shot of the north end of the main building, specifically.

1000562.th.jpg

A photograph of the west building, and back entrance. There is also docking for small ships, and many mini-cannons, plus a crystal hidden behind tree on the westernmost island.

1000563.th.jpg

A higher view of the entire back building, including island access, main kitchen, defensive measures, and a frustrated pirate boy walking on the small ship boarding area. Another pirate cleans his musket.

1000565.th.jpg

The south loading dock, where the crane, catapult, a weapons cache, and weapons specialist are. The dock coordinator on the swinging bridge tries to avoid a sawfish impaling.

1000566v.th.jpg

A close-up of the signature weapon being fired.

1000567iv.th.jpg

A reverse angle of the earlier shot of the front of the waterborne fortress complex

1000569p.th.jpg

A close-up of this side from the west.

1000570.th.jpg

Again, but from a bit higher perspective, and much of the base can be observed here, as well as the earlier mentioned features at this side of the hideout.

With everything pretty much described, I will simply show you more views with no text, for the most part, from here on out.

1000572.th.jpg

1000574v.th.jpg

1000575g.th.jpg

Admiral Infernius, aka "FireBeard" and leader of the Dragon Corsairs, plus his right-hand man, the earlier described Dragon Master descendant who became a Dragon Corsair, at right side, pictured here.

1000576r.th.jpg

A final shot, of the entire complex, and peek bustling hours. There be trouble afoot, the Dragon Corsairs are making plans to do some raids soon!

For ya'll's information, my small pirate ship MOC, the Dire Wraith, is actually a Dragon Corsair Clipper itself. I forgot to mention that for some reason. If a moderator would pretty please edit my opening post of that thread, for the title to say: Dragon Corsair Clipper: Dire Wraith

I would greatly appreciate it! :pir-sweet:

Thanks everyone, again, for welcoming me to this wonderful forum with opening arms. I know I have been gone for a while, but... just, some tthings came up in my crazy, haphazard life, I guess! BUT, LEGO stayed apart of it! I have tons of MOCs I did in that time, all waiting in the wings. I have made large ships for the Dragon Corsairs, Shark Pirates, and Imperial Armada, plus modded a few sets, and MOCs, plus... a wonderful 2-masted fully brick built Dragon Corsair Cutter "Scourge", a little bit bigger than the one in Imperial Trading Post! :)

Ok, I don't know if cutters can have 2 masts... but I don't usually do research, I just build/make/invent things as my MOCs, pretty much! :pir_wacko::pir-laugh:

:pir-grin:

:pir-tongue:

if it is a pirate port, you should put a tabern, and a wench, here and there!!!!

looks promising :thumbup:

It's more of a pirates' hideout and staging base, where only pirates go, the secret base. Not really meant to be a civilian harbor where pirates happen to get drunk and have fun and carouse. It's funny you should say though, because I've actually made a shanty tavern that is on the water! That's coming soon as well! Separate MOC though, but... it's still nice! :pir-classic:

from now, your Moc seems to be very detailed :thumbup:

but it seems that we have different perspectives of piracy, for me, the pirates were like terrorists, you realize that there is one nearby when it is too late.

but there were others (like in your MOC) that always showing their colors, with pride; but easily to find for the pirate hunters

No no, I agree with you. But you see, this is supposed to be a hidden secret base, ensconced away behind some islands, trees, fog, secluded in its own archipelago. Don't have to worry about keeping their colors down because no one knows where the Dragon Corsairs' Harbor Hideaway even is, not to mention, it is quite defensible, as you can see!

When they get out on the open waters, they'd probably be more discreet. But, this is just a toy, after all. And, I think the LEGO sets, and MOCs, look better with full decoration and regalia out. Of course, there is the idea of exchangeable sails and flags! More on that later. You'll see what I mean, in future MOCs. But no, these pirates are cocky I guess, and don't think anyone will find their hide out, so they aren't worried about keeping their colors hidden! Plus, it just looks cooler that way! :pir-sweet:
