USS Monitor
Eurobricks member Mr Misty created this excellent rendition of the famous Civil War ironclad! Excellent use of 4 x 6 modified plates to mimic the iron plates used for armor. While not pirates, it is within the Age of Sail and fits in nicely in the pirates forum.

We’re Back?
A surprising find at official LEGO Brand stores in the USA, new pirate minifigure packs! Not only does this small set come with four figures, but also chrome gold coins and bar previously only seen in licensed sets! There are also animals, palm leaves, and a printed map tile.

Pirate Paradise!
Mark of Falworth has done it again! Built by Mark and his brother Steven for an Iron Builder match up against other builders, this moc has great details! This was a seed part challenge using the green flexible spike. From the looks of it they have a good chance at winning!

No pirates will drop anchor here!
Our own ACPin has done it again! This diorama beautifully shows off his Redcoat army in formation, defending a tropical beach against some unseen invaders. Well-armed with cannons and muskets aplenty, these guys aren’t giving up this beach anytime soon!

The Queen Anne’s Revenge
Eurobricks user Yawgmoth has rebuilt the Queen Anne’s Revenge for our viewing pleasure. Though not complete, this beast of a ship is a more movie-accurate model than we’ve seen so far. With some work, the QAR might finally be a ship worthy of Blackbeard himself.

Admiral’s Home
Captain Braunsfeld created this beautiful house on the rocks for the Admiral. Complete with a cave on the side, in case the Admiral has to sail away on short notice!

My Head is Bloody, but Unbowed
A whopping 66 guns and 5,500 bricks for his first large-scale MOC, Eurobricks user Radmond_Barry aka “Rad Draven” brings the forums this truly unconquerable ship of the line. Using spot-on custom rigging and sails, as well as smooth design and modularity, he shows that even with a simple plastic brick, we are the master of our fate, the captain of our soul.
