Possibilities of firing over a hundred times in a minute!
Eurobricks member Sebeus Iniwum surprises us again with a very interesting concept: firing a full broadside on a LEGO ship with a remote control. The project is still in its early stages but it looks very promising. Currently there’s a discussion about the possibilities, problems and future ideas.
Check out IR Broadside cannons by Sebeus Iniwum in the forum.

To quote 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', "RUN AWAY!!"
With the apparent demise of LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean™, we must turn to the MOC community for new creations. Look no further than Eurobrick’s own TheBrickAvenger for a MOC so cool and clean, it could be an official follow-up to 4182 The Cannibal Escape! I love the minifigure arms used as food scraps and the cool grass hut.

We all love rum!
Please take a look at this MOC built by Flickr user Roboslob92. As the creator describes it, it’s a small island used to transit rum tax free. Not a big creation indeed, but it looks very nice and in fact might work as a genuine LEGO set.

Diomedes at sunset.
This is certainly one of the best LEGO frigates ever made without using custom pieces, sails or rigging. Everything has been made with official LEGO bricks and with great attention to detail. The ship is definitely worth to take a look at, especially because of the brickbuilt sails and the clever deck details.

This locker is quite messy...
Check out yet another fine MOC from Flickr user /TheBricks\. Not a typical Pirate creation that one would expect, but you must agree that it’s quite an interesting approach to the subject of the infamous Davy Jones’ locker.

Alone on a small island...
Take a look at this small yet quite eye-catching MOC from Flickr user /TheBricks\. This poor fellow trapped on that little island has nothing but the bell that he can use to call passing ships in hope of a rescue.

What a sight! Very suitable to an officer!
Since a few months there’s an amazingly detailed Napoleonic army in the make by Eurobricks member DucadiYork. The latest addition is a horse for a hussar officer. It would be quite a challenge to make this on a real LEGO horse, but it’s already a very nice piece of artwork.

There's just something about a galleon you've just got to love.
Eurobricks and pirate newcomer Busboy489 makes a great first impression with his galleon, Viajero Firme. Inspired by some of the pirate builder greats on the forum before him, Busboy489 builds his own “minifig illusion scale” ship packed with great details. Did you notice the custom sails and rigging, the great coloration and shape, and the detailed stern and decking? If you missed any detail, get to the forum now for a link to the full photo set. I said now. Go. Get there already. Seriously.

A movie-inspired MOC
This pretty LEGO ship sitting on a giant’s head is inspired by a scene from the movie Time Bandits, and this MOC was built by Flickr member V&A Steamworks. Please also note that the head was built using DUPLO bricks! Overall it’s an original and interesting creation.

A peaceful fortress in the Caribbean
Eurobricks member Darth Yogi surprised the Pirate forum a while ago by posting this fantastic fortress, Le Sans Fin! It features a gold safe under the rocks, and the buildings have an interior, and on top of that it’s a decent fort which could withstand a siege at ease.
Time for you to discuss Le Sans Fin by Darth Yogi in the forum!
