Nice fort, isn't it?
Being a MOC Expert, Derfel Cardarn always impresses everyone on the forum with his creations. They are always full of details and with great techniques. Fort Magnis is no exception, it’s a pleasure for the eye! It was made for the Jolly Roger Contest and it will be a very good participant. It’s hard to believe that the creator himself isn’t totally pleased by the result. If you also want to see the magnificent back of this MOC, I’d say: Head over to the forum, and…

Ramshackle Rock Retreat
If I was a Pirate I would definitely hang out at this secluded rock island retreat.
From the lookout tower to the dock below for conducting shady Pirate business this is the perfect hideway for the Pirate in need of a break from pillaging.

Hopefully those soldiers don't have fear of heights!
Classic-Pirates member Puriri has posted one of his MOC’s for the first time. It was such a good creation that he made it to the frontpage straightaway! He has made a very high cliff and a great stairway leading to the fort on top of it. It’s almost impossible for any enemy soldiers to occupy Fort Cliff. Creator Puriri isn’t completely satisfied by the name of it, so any suggestion is welcome.
Do you have a suggestion for the name of his fort, or do you want to see the magnificent stairs?
Then head over to the forum and see Fort Cliff by Puriri for yourself!
