HM Bark Endeavour by kabel

The famous ship of Captain Cook.

Although it’s still a work in progress, this replica ship (made after a replica ship, which was made after a real ship) is already looking tremendous. It’s clear that Eurobricks member kabel has enough ship knowledge. The shape, colours and details are already looking excellent and things will get even better. Still, some encouragements or constructive criticism are always welcome.

What a stunning port building.

This harbor building, built into the cliffs, has its own unique charm. It is very detailed and there  is much to discover. As the brick-built cannons and the small sailing ship. But the best thing about this Moc is for sure the modular construction.

58 guns can sink anything!

Sometimes size does matter 2 dozen, maybe 4 dozen cannons, no 58.  58 cannons are riding along the H.M.S Saint Matthew ready to destroy anything in her path.  There is much more to see so be sure to follow the link and prepare to be impressed.

The Lighthouse

From atop the Lighthouse you can see for miles.  Would you be able to climb the tower?  Built on a small slab of rock, it is a work of art.  Check out the wood work and leave a comment.

Lego Pirate V.S Hero Factory by Counter656

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

A fantastic brickfilm has been made by our very new Eurobricks member Counter 656. The story is a bit weird, but that’s no problem because the quality of the frames and special effects is excellent. I’d count this as a must-see for other brickfilmers and for everyone else who is interested.

Every Pirate needs a Ship in a bottle, here it is!

This beautiful Ship in a bottle brought to us by the Eurobricks user arlutik isn’t just a random ship. It is the Black Pearl. The level of details in this little Moc makes it easily recognisable. But beside the lovely designed vessel, the bottle is also very unique and well made.

So come along and visit ‘The Black Pearl in a bottle by arlutik’ in the Forum.

They've found it, the Fountain of Youth!

The Fountain of Youth has been sought after for centuries.  It appears that this Pirate Crew has found it. This looks like a place I could call home, being that it’d be home forever.  Pay attention to the rock work and great foliage work.

Why Kids Shouldn’t Be Pirates by Stormbringer

cabin captain ship pirate model window sandy cutlass snot floor desk furniture

He has this bad habit of killing when he doesn't get his way.

This MOC is so full of detail, that I believe every MOC’er around here can find something useful in it. Not only the techniques are nice, the story is funny too. About a child who’s misbehaving because he wants to be a pirate. But according to the Flickr description “the captain might look like a mere child to his crewmen, but he is the son of a powerful and feared pirate lord of the southern seas”.

The Dauntless by Obscurance

They've taken the Dauntless!!!!

Pirates of the Caribbean, one of mine and I’m sure one of your favorite movies.  Who can forget when the crew of the Dauntless gets sent packing by Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner?  None of us I’m sure, Obscurance has created a beautiful rendition of The Dauntless.  I think this is a beautiful ship and was done very nicely.
