No pirates will drop anchor here!
Our own ACPin has done it again! This diorama beautifully shows off his Redcoat army in formation, defending a tropical beach against some unseen invaders. Well-armed with cannons and muskets aplenty, these guys aren't giving up this beach anytime soon!

Ocean's Great Neptune
"I am the Sea. Literally." His second completed ship MOC, yet still not his magnum opus, Eurobricks user mrsniady1 presents the Forums this grand and god-like Redcoat vessel. Using custom machine-sewn sails, a slope-tumblehome technique, two gun decks, and a working capstan, he reminds us who exactly has the powers of the sea in their hands.

It's a lonely job, but someone's gotta do it.
Eurobricks member Robinson presents this quiet diorama, showcasing the lonely life of a Redcoat stuck on watch duty in the middle of the ocean. Some great techniques are employed, such as the rounding of the tower and the SNOT pier.

Look down, look down, don't look 'em in the eye!
Eurobricks member Matthias130182 shows us how the Redcoats treat their prisoners in this scene showcasing a forced labour camp under Redcoat rule. Pirates and Bluecoats alike work together under heavy guard, and the pile of bodies in the corner hints at what happens if they don't!

Simply Elegant
Though simply named "An Imperial Ship", one can see that this is not a simple ship at all. His first LEGO Pirate ship MOC, Forbidden Cove user Purple Wolf creates this sleek and defined Redcoat vessel. Using full custom rigging, a creative rolled-up sail technique, and overall nice part usage, he brings one more ship to the Imperial Fleet.

The dog won't help you.
TheBrickAvenger has taken it upon himself to recreate some Playmobile sets in LEGO form. This is his second set and it came out looking at least ten times better than the source material. I especially like the look of the prison walls where he has mixed plates and tiles to give it a real stone feel, as well as the mixing in of a few darker pieces to break up the solid color a bit. Check out the rest of the pictures on the forum, and you'll see the prison has a moving door and the great details on the dock too.

Look out Bluecoats!
What's better than one average sized Redcoat? Well a Bluecoat might say a dead one is better, but one might also say that a big Redcoat is better. Kerntechniker has sculpted this towering colossus of a Redcoat. The height, shaping, and details on this statue are great.

Imperial Trading Post Redux... Redux...
This is not just another ForbiddenCove.com Jolly Roger Contest entry, this is a beautiful re-imagining of a classic pirate set. Peter deYeule's version of the classic set really does feel like a place where merchants bring their wares. The highlights of Peter's version include a light house on the tiled docks, two well built cranes and a great, updated trading ship.

Look at those great minifigs!
Eurobricks member TheBrickAvenger may forever change our opinion on "fleshies". Using minifigure parts from LEGO® Prince of Persia™ and LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean™ lines makes the detailed characters in this action sequence superb. The minifigures, interesting angles of the base and building backdrop as well as TheBrickAvenger's excellent photography skills make this a scene worth checking out.
