Mark of Falworth has shared another one of his great creations! This time in the form of a diorama, Battle in Buccaneer Bay depicts an intense battle for the ship. There is some great effects such as cannon fire and varying colors of the beaches water.
There’s too much detail to see in one picture, so go check it out in the forum or his flickr album!

Ponce de Leon gone crazy, y’all! Behold this epic battle between LEGO Pirates and the Imperial Armada (gold standard upgraded edition) for the fabled Fountain of Youth. Because what better way than to live forever than have a bloody battle? Sure you may die trying to take control of the fountain, but if you’re fortunate enough to get a sip of that water, you’ll at least leave a youthful corpse behind. Or does the fountain resurrect too? Hey, wouldn’t be unfortunate if you drowned in the Fountain of Youth?
Even though Simon_S is primarily a LEGO Castle builder, he decided to try his hand at Pirates and built this wonderful scene. Great part usage along with building techniques make this a great creation.
Stop by the LEGO Pirates forum and comment on Battle of the Fountain of Youth!
Simon S Writes:
Hey guys
I’m mostly a Castle builder and I’m very active in the Guilds of Historica forum too. However, the Jolly Roger Contest 3.5 over at forbiddencove.com inspired me to finally jump into the pirate theme. I have done a build before, for the team building contest (with Soccerkid), but it was a fort and so completely different from this.
Here I present you: Battle for the Fountain of Youth

Eurobricks member Romance14 has shot a brief but very entertaining and surprisingly innovative review of this classic set from 1989. There’s some really nice stop-motion animation and a few fun shots of the set in action. Well worth a look!

Mark of Falworth has created another masterpiece! Stunning brickwork, amazing details, and great minifig action bring this creation to life. It really showcases Marks ability to create spectacular landscapes rich in texture, color, and interesting building techniques. Truly a work of art by a great artist!
Stop by the LEGO Pirates Forum and tell your thoughts on The Battle of St. Lucia!
Mark Writes:
A map discovered on board the “Soldat de Fortune” depicted the mythical treasure of Blue was hidden beneath the doorstep of the church of St. Lucia. Being eager to take this golden opportunity, Mark of Tortuga and his fearless crew descended upon the sleepy island colony.
Though the village was usually a quiet, out-of-the-way spot, a garrison of a dozen well-armed Bluecoat militia was waiting for them!
Undeterred by the resistance, the pirates charged wildly at the terrified Bluecoats and began to pummel them into submission. Just as a piratical victory against the cowardly foe seemed certain, lo-and-behold a cannon shot roared to the left of the combatants!
The bold and brave Redcoats rushed towards the fray with muskets blazing!
Who will come out victorious in the Battle of St. Lucia?

After discussing potential Haven Guard and Merchant flag designs we’re putting it to a vote to decide which flag is most appropriate.
To make your life easier we’ve created a flag generator to enable you to experiment with different combinations of flag backgrounds and emblems.
So chose the three combinations you like the most and share them in the LEGO Pirates Forum.
