A great set just got even better...

This here is a fine MOC to be sure. This was a great set, and now that we know what a bit of skill can do with it, it just got a whole heap better. Utilising clever techniques and innovative uses of everyday bricks, this is a Brickshelf find not to be missed!

Take a look at Lagoon Lockup Overhauled by PorscheCm2 in the pirate forum.

Have you ever wanted to make custom sails but didn't know how to make them? Take a look at Paul Cantu's handy tutorial and discuss it on the Classic Pirates forum.

If you want to see some examples of sails build this way, look at The Avenger and The Acadia at Paul Cantu's MOCpages or discuss this handy tutorial in the Classic Pirates forum.

Puerto Rodrego is an old shanty town located somewhere on the Spanish coastline. Created by someone who has lost their socks, it is shrouded with secret and mystery.

The town is encapsulated in deception and the occult...

Puerto Rodrego has been tainted by a small drug industry, murder and famine. Even the Imperials struggle to survive in the barren landscape that they have been put in charge of!
