'A watchful eye'

Being inspired by the movie Master and Commander; the far side of the world and by the new game Napoleon:Total War, Captainkiwi has built an awesome privateer ship. The custom sails, the slanted stern and some other things make it look very good. The name ‘Vigilant’, meaning ‘a watchful eye’, really suits this ship and so does the figurehead. Captainkiwi has improved his building skills since his first MOC, the HMS Royale, and with a good result.

So check out Le Vigilant by Captainkiwi in the forum!

The morgue is open!

As part of Classic-Pirates.com community build, Eurobricks user Waterbrick Down has shown us this pretty nice MOC representing both a morgue and a coffin shop.

The exterior is very good-looking, but make sure to check out the interior details, complete with two floors, a coffin builder’s workshop and even the morgue’s latest “customer”.

It seems like there are two people on the rock, or not? Mysterious...

Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com member Derfel Cardarn has started a new series of MOC’s called ‘Myths & Legends’ and this is the first part. It is a great landscape with a lot of awesome buildings and other things. And that’s not all…it is,  just like the rest of the series, combined with a myth or legend! For the story you will have to go to the forum. Other MOC’s of the series will have something to do with a.o. Jack the Ripper and Sleepy Hollow. It’s nice to follow this project because it’s full of great details and very informative.

Make sure to check out The Legend Of Porthgwarra by Derfel Cardarn in the forum!

Pirate's Town Square by MetroiD
