"It's a trap"
Classic-Pirates “News Scout” SirSeven7 brings us yet another great MOC from the pages of Flickr. This time it’s a vignette from Eurobricks member NewRight, the pirate flag lures unwitting pirates to this small port only to be met by the governor’s finest.

"It's not the size that counts"
Another fine entry in the Classic-Pirates “Pirates of the Caribbean contest”. It may be small but that’s the whole idea when building in mini scale and George G has done a great job packing in the detail with some clever piece usage.

Two immortals stuck in battle forever
A very memorable scene from the Curse of the Black Pearl film is when Captain Barbossa and Captain Jack Sparrow are fighting it out as immortally cursed men. Sok117 has depicted this scene in a wonderful way with plenty of scattered treasure and a beautiful scene that needs to be seen.

One army to rule them all!
When it comes to armies Napoleon Bonaparte had one to be feared. Jackdaw has amassed a grand army to fight for Napoleon with some great photography to show it off. With more blue coats than you can shake a fist at and lots of great looking gear, this army is worth a look.

- “A fine vessel she be”
A new ship has hit the forum, a Brig named “Admiral Forster” created by Eurobricks member Corioso. It’s only Corioso’s second ship and it’s looking great. Check out the clever use of minifigure arms on the stern.

Where's that bloody key!
One of my favorite scenes from the “Dead Man’s Chest” film is the Mill scene. Now TLG has made their own version of this scene, but it’s usually the custom MOC’s that the AFOL community produces that end up being the stars. With more that just the mill wheel, this MOC expands past the limitations of the standard LEGO set, be sure to check it out.

A cozy place to stay...
This very cool-looking MOC has been built by a LEGO fan nicknamed B-idea, aka pirate_cat. The house is very cleverly constructed, and the water and rocks are nice additions too! It’s a great design overall.

No ship can survive the Kraken
Davy Jones famously said “I am the see” and he was right. With control over the most powerful creature of the sea, he call’s on the Kraken to crush his enemies ship’s and send them to Davy Jones locker. This is spectacularly done and deserves a closer look, the Kraken is hiding behind the ship.
