Eurobricks member Robinson presents this quiet diorama, showcasing the lonely life of a Redcoat stuck on watch duty in the middle of the ocean. Some great techniques are employed, such as the rounding of the tower and the SNOT pier.

Crib in the Carib’

“Welcome to the crib”. Based a bit on LEGO set #6270 Forbidden Island, but with his own unique attributes and style, Eurobricks user Brig. Brick displays this lively pirate “paradise”. Using creative details, design, and scenery, he shows all of the “monkey business” of the LEGO Pirates crew.

Look down, look down, don’t look ’em in the eye!

Eurobricks member Matthias130182 shows us how the Redcoats treat their prisoners in this scene showcasing a forced labour camp under Redcoat rule. Pirates and Bluecoats alike work together under heavy guard, and the pile of bodies in the corner hints at what happens if they don’t!

An old favourite with a new twist!

Eurobricks member Yawgmoth has put his own spin on the classic Skull’s Eye Schooner. While still recognizable with its original colour scheme and figurehead, the updated ship also features some welcome new additions, such as more cannons, a closed deck, and a furnished captain’s cabin.

Old and Bold

Age before beauty? It would certainly be fair to say that this is a ship of both. His first attempt at a pirate ship, MOCpages user Hrvoje Majetich brings the forums this magnificent “wooden” craft. Utilizing new and brilliant design, detail, and texture, he reminds us that even the oldies still got their kicks.
