Pirates Going Domestic by Karlo Toth

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Karlo Toth has made a very nice MOC, with an interesting story.

It depicts pirates on an off day relaxing at the First Mate’s brother’s castle.

An unusual meeting...

An unusual meeting...

Look at the beautiful rocks with lots of vibrant greenery, and all of the fun little details like the maiden fishing for sharks of all things!
The MOC even has a brilliant pirate ship for those enthusiasts we have here.

Look at more pictures of the great ship and landscaping on MOCpages, and discuss your favorite parts of it in the Pirate Forum!

Imperial Patrol Ship by Patriot720

Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Forum member Patriot720 has finished another amazing MOC. He even calls it his greatest creation yet! Take a look at his fearsome Imperial Patrol Ship and feel sorry with those poor pirates attacking it.

A mighty vessel indeed!

This 6 cannon strong Imperial Patrol Ship has everything to track down and destroy the Imperial’s enemies. Other than her firepower she is fast as the devil because of her large sails and a loyal crew of 10 men (2 officers + 8 sailors/soldiers) who will take care of any threat, Pirate attacks included!

 So discuss Patriot720’s Imperial Patrol Ship in the Pirates forum!
