Pretty impressive, isn't it?

As you may remember from our previous blog entries (here, here and here), Classic-Pirates.com and Eurobricks user ZCerberus has been working (for over a year now!) on an enormous MOC ship called the Phantom MkII.

Recently he’s posted some more updates, including pictures of the bow. This ship is going to be a masterpiece when it’s finished!

Peace at last?

Eurobricks member Dan the Brickman came up with an excellent idea!  Because Christmas is coming up, Redcoats and Bluecoats are coming together for a ‘peaceful’  feast. You have the honour of going there, together with your most favourite dish (and your most favourite weapon!). So choose a side (Redcoat/Bluecoat/Pirate) and Dan the Brickman will include you in his hilarious Holiday Special.

27, yes 27 ships for Evil Stevie's Pirate Game

Evil Stevie’s Pirate game has recently moved, check it out here.  If you are unfamiliar with this game, it involves building your own LEGO ships, and Eurobricks member Cherno’s has taken this to the extreme.  There are 27, count them 27 seperate ships.  Ranging in size from small cutters up to Black Seas Barracuda status. 

See all of Cherno’s fleet in the Pirate Forum.

Still a WIP, but already impressive!

And yet another ship is coming on the horizon! The name is still unknown, but it could have something to do with a dog since that’s the figurehead. The ship has a nice and realistic colourscheme and the interior is wonderful, containing a bed, a piano and a lovely staircase. It’s a very promising ship and a definitely worth to keep an eye on!

Flesh or yellow, what will it be?

All the recent talking about the new Pirates of the Caribbean-line raised a new question. Since all the recent licensed LEGO themes contain flesh-coloured minifigs, and they will probably continue doing so in the future, it may seem odd to match them up with the yellow minifig’s that most of us already have. So do you think this switch to natural-flesh-toned minifigs will be permanent for the Pirates line (or perhaps for all themes) after the POTC license ends? And there are more questions concerning this issue.

Let us know what you think in the Pirates LEGO forum!

The HMS Victory from the TSL Exhibition in Berlin

A ship of massive proportions, the HMS Victory just might be true minifigure scale,  With more than 100 cannons on board and room for a crew of 1,000, I can’t imagine anything that could match it’s stature.  The devil is in the details and a closer inspection is required to see all the details and the minifigures which look so small compared to the size of the ship.
