Encounter at the blacksmith workshop by Yatkuu

blacksmith workshop pirates caribbean curse black pearl will turner jack sparrow captured donkey wheel contestThe first entry for the Pirates of the Caribbean MOC contest is there! It’s one of the most famous scenes of the first movie. I don’t think I have to explain which one because the MOC itself explains it very clearly. The only thing I want to say is that it ends with one of those moments you will remember as the day you almost captured Jack Sparrow!

The Black Revenge nearing completion.

Even though it’s not  yes as famous as the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the star of the Black Revenge is rising. With an impressive hull, a fearsome flag and a skilled crew, this ship is no joke! It’s still a work in progress, and there’s room for improvement, but soon this ship will set sail on the large brickbuilt oceans. Time to welcome this great ship and its creator (a new member).

It's a very lively world in the port!

This little MOC is full of clever designs. From the birds to the roofs and from the water to the smoke. And the scene is just as original as the techniques: a procession of strange birds. Be sure to take a closer look on this creation!
