The brig 'HMS Hell Hound'.

There it is! The finished product made by Eurobricks member TazManiac! The HMS Hell Hound: 9 guns, a very detailed interior and an exellent rigging. It also contains a clever new cannon design. A ship to love if you’re an ally or a ship-fan, and one to fear if you’re her enemy!

One of the many realistic Napoleonic soldiers!

Eurobricks member Woody64 has recently shared his update with 3D Printed Custom accessoires for minifigures!  Especially the custom headgear is worth looking at. The wide selection of  weapons will surely come in handy for customizers, in addition with the custom torso’s.

Hurry to the forum to check out Woody64’s 3D Printed Minifig Customs!

A peaceful MOC for Christmas.

The sea is smashing against the rocks, the boat is heaving on the waves and a lonely lighthouse keeper is checking out the weather. That’s the scene Eurobricks member pif500 has made in an excellent way. It even has a lovely interior. But if you want to see that as well, you’ll have to…

Now that's how to celebrate a victory!

Eurobricks member Piglet has made a great MOC  long ago, but he had not posted it yet. Such a shame! It was made for a contest and it looks jolly good! The pirates are really celebrating victory in the pirates way, with lots of beer, chickens and women.

The Bloody Dagger

 There has been the Black Seas Barracuda, and the Imperial Flagship, but both are quivering with fear to the Bloody Dagger!  With a crew of 20 and cannon power to take what it wants, this is one beautifully built ship.  It has sleeping quarters, a double decker deck and a wench to boot.

Words cannot describe the size of this army!

There are armies, there are grand armies, and then there is Dirk72’s army.  With more Imperial soldiers than LEGO’s own stockpile this army is beyond massive.  But wait, if you are still scratching your head as to how this massive army is even possible, click the source link to see the rest of this army, and all the buildings that come with a massive army.  It’s size is only enhanced by the great MOC’s that are included with this build.

A grand ship form the 16th century
