Hi everybody! I'm here to show my latest pirate-MOC:

Captain Jimmy

I built this for a contest over at Forbiddencove.com: in this socalled 'Pirates Part Plunder' we get two weeks to build a MOC using a seedpart. This round, the seedpart was the minifig crowbar. I immediately got the idea of building a beard with the crowbars, but since I hadn't done any sculpting before, I was afraid it might be very difficult. It was actually a lot more fun than I thought.

The name Jimmy is a wink to the crowbar, ofcourse.

Very nice! You used some interesting pieces in there. What are those pieces for his beard?

@Brickington: it's the minifig crowbar that is mentioned three times in the openingpost ;)

Nicely done, great use of the crowbar, I only have one of those but I never would have thought of using them like this .

Good luck in the contest.

I see what you did there. Nice to see a good use of the crowbars. And a great hat!

Nice! . Good luck with the Seedpart challenge.

This is a real "desk-topper", right?

Nice MOC and good use of the crowbars and minifig arms.

Thanks for the kind words everybody!

Very nice MOC with many great details.

Absolutely cool!

The red beard is incredible!

Wow! Great work, this seems like a weird thing to build. Highly imaginative and attractive. Nice job!

He reminds me of this painting of Van Gogh, by Van Gogh,

I especially like the way you did the collar!

Awesome, good job!

Thanks for your compliments, I appreciate it a lot.

Wow! Great work, this seems like a weird thing to build.

It really was! Especially building the eyes was a strange experience: when I tried an expression, I took a step back to see if it looked good. That took a while.

Thanks! I can see what you mean, the red hairs of the beard look a lot like the technique Van Gogh used. That's funny actually, how a building style and painting technique look the same.

Love the "crowbar beard" that he's got there. I like the hat design too.
