Pirates' Island by SlyOwl

Eurobricks member and MOC expert, SlyOwl presents us with his latest master piece, “Pirates’ Island”, an exciting island with lots of crazy stuff for pirates to do. Packed with amazing details such as a swinging rope bridge, a soldier “walking the oar”, an awesome cliff, a Spaniard being “smashed” in the head by a flying cannon ball and a Pirate King counting his booty!  This Island is far from boring!

Head over to the MOC forum and discuss Pirates’ Island by SlyOwl!

One of our best Academy reviewers for the Pirate forum, Etzel, has reviewed this small but yet usefull set for us.

V3 of the Grandeur is a complete rebuild!

The first time Captain Zuloo first showed us his MOC the ‘Grandeur’, a majestic 28-gun frigate, was early last year. From then it has progressed greatly and has gone through many revisions and total restructures. Now nearly all that is left to complete are the masts and the remaining small details that can ‘make or break’ a MOC. I for one will be following this beautiful ship closely now it’s in the final stages of its build. In the latest update Zuloo has really shown us through his progression how much time and effort it takes to pull off one of these great MOC ships.

Maintaining the Pirate Indexes is a difficult job which uses up valuable time. If you were to only use them occasionally, or not at all, the staff’s efforts to keep them in check would be fruitless. That’s why Mister Phes wants to know if you find them useful – would you prefer that the indexes were to be kept up to date or that the staff embark on other endeavors?
