Capt. Kirk - le Quartier Brique
Captain Flint Black and his best friend Jamaica Jimm are at the “Quartier Brique” at the Mediterranian coasts… for shoppin’.
Like a normal day in a pirates life it does not go easy… but if they stick to the plan everything might work out fine at the end of the day. The plan is simply to pillage the village. So as their Captain and some rascals plunder the city and ship the booty to more safe harbours, the others do their thing. Of course a price must be paid along both camps. But that is always worth the effort.
So let’s vote for your favourite entry in the Pirates forum.

Chrispockster - The Treasure of Indigo Isle
Where ever there’s treasure there are pirates coming to plunder it. A classic pirate vs. islander scenario. Our pirates sneaked in, and got the treasure, but they didn’t have as easy a time sneaking out. Esspecially seeing as they’ve set fire to the village and taken to violence. Now its a race into the jungle with the treasure.

SirNadroj, one of Eurobrick’s best builders AND a native-Rhode Islander, has created this beautiful MOC for us: the HMS Gasp©e being attacked by the Patriots.

The HMS Gasp©e
The Gasp©e Affair was a significant event in the American Revolution.
The HMS Gasp©e, a British revenue schooner that had been vigorously enforcing unpopulair trade regulations ran aground in shallow water, on June 9, 1772 near what is now known as Gaspee Point in the city of Warwick, Rhode Island while chasing the packet boat Hannah.
In an act of defiance that gained considerable notoriety, the ship was attacked, boarded, stripped of valuables and torched by American patriots led by Abraham Whipple. Click here to read more about it on Wikipedia!
So come on over to the Pirates forum to discuss SirNadroj’s MOC: The Gasp©e Affair!
