Pirate LEGO® Information Resource & Forum

Yargg, there be loot up for grabs here!

Between plundering and pillaging, pirates have to lay their lice-infested heads somewhere! From the lowliest rat-infested bilges that serve as crew’s quarters to the luxury of the captain’s cabin, there’s building scope a-plenty!

Your task is to show this – what goes on there, what it’s like – the works!

It doesn’t have to be for the captain – crew’s quarters, the ship’s kitchen, the brig e.t.c. are very welcome.
It can be from any seafaring faction, be they Pirates (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Chinese e.t.c.), Imperials, Merchants, Islanders, even! Fish-pirates, skeleton-pirates, troll-pirates and the like are all acceptable. Borderline steampunk is also allowed, but try to maintain the seafaring aspect.
It doesn’t have to be based on a ship. It could be on a wrecked ship, something similar to the Captain’s Quarters in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney, or something from your imagination! Please avoid building it as part of a full ship, as this will exceed the permitted dimensions and may skew votes away from the subject matter.

So quickly, come on over to the Pirate forum to ask some
questions and check out the prizes!

Gambort treats us all to a magnificent ship, based off of the French lugger “Le Coureur”, complete with a fully brick-built hull, custom cannons, and unique masts: 

Magnifique, non?

Be sure to see the Flickr gallery, then discuss Le Coureur in the Pirate forum!

Yargg, who be up for a game of snap?

Just when we though the 2009 LEGO® Pirate line was at its climax, forum member Lorentzen stumbles accross a deck of swashbuckling colour playing cards in a stylish Jolly Roger case! Yargh, what be next?

Well, what are you waiting for? Quickly go and
buy yourself the playing cards, then discuss this find in the Pirate forum!

Dan Church presents us with a lovely MOC, Tug O’ War!

Don't lose your step!

 The Pirates and Soldiers are locked in a fierce battle over a lost treasure chest. If one loses his step, he will fall to a greusome fate, a crocodile lurking in the raging river surrounded by razor-sharp rocks!

Will the fiesty pirates manage to give a big heavo-ho and claim the booty? Or will the well-trained soldiers use their muscles to grab the loot?

Yar! I be needin’ ya to row me ta Cuba ya limey fool! Those are the possible words of the pirate aboard that forced the poor soldier to row him to Cuba. More likely is that fact that he has a cannon shoved up his nose.

He has a cannon shoved up his nose!

‘Take Me to Cuba’ by Crimson Wolf is both funny and imaginative featuring humorous details and what looks to be a great background story line. The MOC is well complimented by a neat Photoshop background.
