A Mighty Home on the Sand

The story behind this ship is as interesting as the ship itself. The shipwreck became the home of a poor ex Imperial Officer, though she isn't seaworthy any more, she made a fine home for him. There is so much detail in such a small space it amazes me. Using the rock formation as a natural stair case, keeping the look of the ship while adding a "front yard" for the tiny house, and the plants turning the old mast into a tree again, are all some really great details not to be missed. You'll want to check the thread to see the large photos and some great part usage as well as read the whole story behind the project.

"It's not the size that counts"

Another fine entry in the Classic-Pirates "Pirates of the Caribbean contest". It may be small but that's the whole idea when building in mini scale and George G has done a great job packing in the detail with some clever piece usage.

Two immortals stuck in battle forever

A very memorable scene from the Curse of the Black Pearl film is when Captain Barbossa and Captain Jack Sparrow are fighting it out as immortally cursed men.  Sok117 has depicted this scene in a wonderful way with plenty of scattered treasure and a beautiful scene that needs to be seen.
