As a practice for a larger MOC, Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com member Lego_Warlord_8 shares with us Pirate fans a great little cross-section MOC depicting part of a Spanish port. Although it was originally planned to have lighting, Lego_Warlord_8 was too excited to post his creation to wait for the lights to arrive. But it looks great as it is!
So come and see Spanish Port Town by Lego_Warlord_8 in the forum.

The recently knighted Commodore Sir Horatio marries Lady Barbara in this MOC. With outstanding architecture built into the church, this is certainly a structure to look up to. Boasting lovely rare colours such as tan and dark red, this is a beautiful creation, not to be missed!
Check it out in the Pirate forum!

Where would you prefer to discuss Custom Pirate LEGO Mini-Figures?
Currently the Custom Pirate LEGO Mini-Figures are discussed in the Minifig Customisation Workshop which is outside of the LEGO Pirates Forum.
While this forum is a great asset to Eurobricks, the Classic-Pirates.com Crew is pondering whether the Pirate MOC Forum would a better place to discuss Custom Pirate Mini-figures.
So we’re curious to know where you would prefer.
The more information you provide us, the better we can tailor to your needs.

Cutlass_Iz shares with us a review of a unique nature. For a change of scene, she has created a review of some LEGO® apparel in the form of the new Pirates t-shirt. Full of great colourful photos and a great tutorial on how to make your own Pirates shirt as many of us are too large to fit into the official one, this review is a one-of-a-kind and it would be a shame to miss it.
So head over to the Classic-Pirates.com forum to see this wonderful review!

Usually when a pirate tells you to build an outpost, you build an outpost. Not in this case, instead the pirate builds a sand castle! Marriann Asanuma, former model builder, brings us this little, Intriguing MOC.

The captain isn't going to be so happy......
To give your opinion about the model and to give feedback, rush to the pirate forum now!

It seems we have another very talented artist among us! Classic-Pirates.com member Apache brings us a beautiful picture of a redcoat defending his fort.

What a lovely drawing!
The detail in the picture is outstanding. Just look at the guns, the cutlasses and the minifigure design!
Give the artist your opinion in the Forum!

Watch out for the giant squid!
The tale begins with Hook Hand Harry,
Who had a taste for calamari,
He rustled up a motley crew,
Two other pirates; Hugh and Pugh,
And in a little punt this bunch,
Set out to hunt a little lunch.
Alas, despite their preparation,
And much to Harry’s consternation,
The hunting trip went quite awry,
Their boat was hoisted to the sky,
They fell into the ocean water,
And ended up as octo-fodder.
