A magnificent pirate vessel...
Check out this amazing giant pirate ship called Death’s Breath, built by Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com member Dr Rod. The picture shows the vessel being displayed at BrickExpo in Canberra, Australia.
Its creator claims it was built hastily – certainly the picture doesn’t show that. The interior details are still to be completed, so good luck with that!

The sailors are busy...
Sometimes we do show you old MOCs which definitely deserve being featured on Classic-Pirates.com. This is the case with this vignette, built by BaronSat in 2006.
This MOC features a cross-section of a ship’s hull, showing various activities taking place on a typical day at sea. And there is much to be done on a ship like this one!

Oh those pink statues...
The Redcoats have a new obsession: Pink items! Obsessions aren’t that good to have, but this one is certainly not good for your health! The Inventor lets you see what happens if you suffer from the Pink Obsession! It is also becoming clear why the one’s death is the other’s bread.
Read it in The Inventors’s entry: Too much pink will kill you!

Do the bluecoats really have a working Voodoo doll?
It’s round 2 of the Tournament of Retribution II and the Bluecoats seem to have found a magical doll that inflicts pain on redcaosts. Could it be true? Let me tell you it is, and it’s funny too.

The Classic Black Seas Barracuda extended for extra duty
The Black Seas Barracuda is one of the most iconic LEGO Pirate ships since it was the first large ship LEGO ever produced. Now puriri has updated this classic ship to be bigger and badder than the original. As a hardcore fan of the original, I must say this is a great mod.

Sometimes you get ran out of your favorite pub by some blue coats. Sometimes you leave and admit defeat. Tonight is not one of those times. The red coats are back and they have a surprise in store for the blue coats.
See how this confrontation ends in the Pirate Forum.

A whale of a tail
If you are looking at the image above then you see a comic, and comics usually mean the Tournament of Retribution II. From the inside of a whale to the poop deck, this comic shows why messing with the redcoats might be a bad idea.
