Classic-Pirates.com is pleased to announce the return of an older member who entered his dark ages a while ago. Previously known as HMS243, Admiral B©jaune is not only a great poster who lightens the mood of the Pirate forum, but he is also a master of shipbuilding. With ships such as the Sang Royale in the making, he’s soon to have one of the nicest fleets out there!
So let’s welcome back Admiral B©jaune, previously HMS243, to the Pirate forum!

Yesterday, Classic-Pirates.com forum member Captain Cavinano was kind enough to share with us his great work in the line of shipbuilding. His beautiful 6-deck 6285 Black Seas Barracuda, effectively known as the ‘HMS Knight’, boasts some lovely custom sails as well as some customs on minifig torsos. This ship is sure something for our member Captain Cavinano to smile about!
And you’ll smile too if you check out some more photos of Captain Cavinano’s HMS Knight!

An amazing addition to the online Pirate community at Classic-Pirates.com, Derfel Cardarn is one of those MOCers that make you step back and say “wow”. His most recent MOC yet again leaves our jaws hanging by our knees. ‘Chapel Rock’ as called by its builder, is truly a masterpiece. Derfel Cardarn uses many interesting techniques such as his stone wall effect as well as some more basic but equaly as effective ones such as the great cobblestone using 1×1 round plates. Derfel Cardarn is a great builder of who we can all learn something from and we are happy to call him a Classic-Pirates.com supporter.
So run and check out this lovely LEGO® harbour, Chapel Rock by Classic-Pirates.com member Derfel Cardarn in the Pirate forum!

Head over to the Classic-Pirates.com forum to put your vote across and end the feud. Oh, and if that wasn’t difficult enough, we are talking about Vikings and Pirates of the Caribbean, not the official LEGO® themes.
