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.

Beautiful detailing make this pirate town come to life!
Piazza is alive! Not only has Flickr member Hardegon done a great job with the larger aspects of this MOC, like the houses and great tiling work on the streets, but also with all the small details, like a fountain, street light, medieval statue and all the merchants peddling their wares. The details are certainly the best aspect of any MOC and these details make this town pop.

The Liberty Inn
Classic-Pirates own ZCerberus has made a stunning Inn for your Pirate crew to pillage. The details make this MOC just look right. From the curved stone walls to the balcony, and tiling details this MOC looks better then LEGO's own Medieval Market Village in my opinion. The details are much more pronounced; the roof, the windows, the stone work and just about everything else is a much more detailed that market set. Be sure to check it out!

The Rescue of Miss Take
Forbidden Cove Member Jalkow has created a fantastic scene of a witch hunt for a contest at the Forbidden Cove. There are some great details to be had here like the bat wings as clouds attached to that clever moon. The setup is great and the fine detials are what really make this MOC shine.

Some of the highlights of 2 Much Caffeine's creation include an all tiled look, beautiful palm trees, excellent stone work and a new take on the original's trading ship. Even with the updates, the spirit of the original still shines through.

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.

A nice building with a good amount of detail.
Finally, after 4 months of waiting, Eurobricks member ZCerberus surprises us again with 2 excellent buildings for his mammoth project called Fort Brighton East. The lattice work and the windows are nice and remember that the author has a couple ideas for a couple of -even more- extravagant models.
