The island, the tower... and the shark!
Check out this pretty nice land-based MOC presented to us by Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com user CCOOK. The Prison Tower is full of eye-catching details and a lot of action!
The angry shark definitely adds more life to that scene. Or is it death?

A good place to defend yourself.
This impressive and yet simple observation tower built by TazManiac is really an eye catcher. Even if it is just a WIP, the landscape is also very nicely done, especially the surf effect. But of course there are more lovely details to discover.

Portable, lightweight, maybe even bite-size!
Sometimes a full sized cannon is just too big. When you need a portable yet power packing blow. Look no further than TazManiac’s little cannon. With a clever use of a little weightlifting material, He has managed to make a smaller version of the Pirate classic.

So many cannons, so few ships.
With more cannons than you can count, this Naval battle during the Napolenic War is a MOC that must be seen. You are looking at a mere portion of the MOC at hand. With ships crumbling at the knees of the Imperials, and a base so many studs big, I lost count, this is a MOC for the ages.
