Which one do you like the most?

Although we all like the real Lego blunderbuss a lot, the Brick Forge musket is also very nice. Apache has made a good review of both weapons with all the pro’s and con’s. Do you prefer the brown classic Lego musket, or the more realistic designed Brick Forge one?

A beautiful chinese junk - with interior.

They are a rare sight in the Forum, but they are often built with loving attention to detail: Chinese Junks! Also this ship, made by Darth Yogi. It has self-made sails and even an interior. But take a look, there is even more to see.

Possible future minifigs?

As you may recall, we the members of Classic-Pirates.com have a reason to believe that LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean line will be released some time in the future. It’s also been stated that the POTC: On Stranger Tides movie (which is to be released next year) will include some Spanish characters, ships and locations.

Also, the upcoming POTC: Armada of the Damned video game will include characters resembling Spanish minifigs from the classic LEGO Imperial Armada subtheme (see the above screenshot).

Does this mean that we are going to get new Imperial Armada-like minifigs and sets, for the first time since 1997 (not counting the 2001 re-release)?

Would he taste good with some bananas?

Azaghal isn’t a member of Eurobricks, but he’s a good MOCmaker. EB-member Mister Phes found this funny MOC on MOCpages. The description is “Captain Gerald tragically misinterprets the Islanders desire to, “have him for dinner“. The banana and the evil smile of the islanders explain a lot.

You must be a very brave pirate if you want to attack this fort!

Redcoats, Bluecoats, pirates, a boat, a statue, a wall full of cannons, tropical trees, a monkey, special rifles, and a pirate shooting sideways in a very clever way. It’s all there in NewRight’s latest MOC “Blimey, Pirates!

One of the best custom minifigures I recently encountered is this one from Michaelozzie: Napoleon Bonaparte, with his 1796 Brigadier-General costume, used into the 1796-1797 Italian Campaign which made his name and set him right upon the path towards glory!

One of our more devoted members, Brig. Brick, brings us a very easy tutorial on how to make an accordeon/concertina in only a few minutes time.

All you need are two flat tiles and some deskapparel like paper, scissors and glue!

Ready in 10 minutes or less!

Wikipedia: A concertina is a free-reed musical instrument, like the variousaccordions and the harmonica. It has a bellows and buttons typically on both ends of it. When pressed, the buttons travel in the same direction as the bellows, unlike accordion buttons which travel perpendicularly to it. Also, each button produces one note, while accordions typically can produce chords with a single button.

The concertina was developed in England and Germany, most likely independently. The English version was invented in 1829 by Sir Charles Wheatstone and a patent for an improved version was filed by him in 1844. The German version was announced in 1834 by Carl Friedrich Uhlig.
