Lego Eldorado Fortress Revisited [MOC]

Hello everyone!

It's kind of crazy to think about it but it have been 2 years since my last pirate MOC was uploaded to this awesome forum. Of some strange reason I haven't built any pirate related stuff until a couple of weeks back when I woke up one morning and just felt that it was time, time to bring life to my beloved pirate collection. Best. Decision. So.Far.

The first place I went to was of course Classic Pirates for some inspiration, another great decison After just 15 minutes of lurking around on the forum I was motivated enough to start the building process, and then I realized I had not decided what to build yet

After another fifteen minutes or so lurking around on Brickset I decided that I wantet to make the Eldorado Fortress!

I had a blast putting it together. Especially since it uses a bunch of different colors that I'am not used to use in MOCs. Neither could I use many modern technics since I wanted to keep the classic feel of it.

Awesome remake to one of my favorite sets! I like the new base plate!

A nice clean build, I loved the original set as well but I never had it...yet, I like how you rounded the small battlements platform with the cannon.

Beautiful interpretation of my all time favorite Lego set.

You captured the 'feel' of it very well, I can't wait for more pictures, and future MOCs of yours!

And you made yourself a great birthday present,

Happy birthday!

Haha, yea. The best present of them all

I thought I would be able to get them up today but tomorrow seems to be the day of photographing

Beautiful rendition!

Thank you!

Nice build. Saw it on MOCPages. Was wondering if it was going to show up here.

I will of course add them here but right now the homework is calling!

Great work. I was actually thinking of doing something similar a while back, but decided on other projects. I think your interpretation is fantastic and pays homage to the original set while bringing modern building techniques to it.

I would still love to see you do one aswell! It would be really fun to compare two custom models of the same set!

Thanks!

Very good - and old favourite set of mine (luckily I was able to build it once I got hold of the baseplate) - and this is the appropriate 2014 version!
