A Redcoat battalion, ready for action!
Eurobricks member ACPin is back in fine form with this vignette showcasing Redcoat soldiers in formation. Using cheese slopes to affect a kneeling position for some of his troops makes them look that much more prepared, and the new horse in its reared-up position just seems made for scenes like this!

Ocean’s Great Neptune
“I am the Sea. Literally.” His second completed ship MOC, yet still not his magnum opus, Eurobricks user mrsniady1 presents the Forums this grand and god-like Redcoat vessel. Using custom machine-sewn sails, a slope-tumblehome technique, two gun decks, and a working capstan, he reminds us who exactly has the powers of the sea in their hands.

The Black Pearl gets a digital makeover!
Eurobricks member Murdoch17 has given the LDD treatment to everyone’s favourite Disney ship, the Black Pearl! With some visual cues taken from the Imperial Flagship, Murdoch17’s redesign features a closed deck, an increase in fire power, and a bulked-up captain’s cabin. It’s a ship worthy of Captain Sparrow himself!

Song of the Sea
“Sing that again, sailor!” His first completed MOC, Eurobricks user Redshanks brings the forums this mellow and harmonious LEGO pirate ship. Inspired by LEGO ship sets #4184 The Black Pearl and #6243 Brickbeard’s Bounty, as well as making use of custom sails, rigging, a rotating winch, and overall fluent design, he keeps the songs of LEGO Pirates flowing through the seas.
