Recently… or maybe not so recently if you’re reading this post years after it was published… Elephant-Knight shared a final picture of the HMS White Card a ship done in similar colours to the original 6271 Imperial Flagship. With custom sails and rigging it gives the 2010 Imperial Flagship a run for it’s money – and those things are worth more than $500 in MISB condition!
Be sure to check out the WIP topic to see the amazing changes it went through before arriving at the beautiful creation you see before you!

Your friendly Neighborhood Merchant shared his latest MOC Boreas’ Haul , a snow-rigged merchant brig in the Pirate Forum. The ships inspiration came from his little LEGO trade ship baring the same emblem on the mainsail as the ship from the 6277 Imperial Trading Post. So that’s a nice little Easter egg for the keen eyed LEGO Pirate fans!
Heave ho and check out the awesome features included in the LEGO Pirates MOC Forum!
The Neighborhood Merchant Writes:
Hi everyone! Long time viewer, but I just joined recently. Thought I’d share one of my first ships I’ve made with you guys and get some input from the masters
! I’ve always felt bad to know that poor little merchant guy (he deserves a name) was on his same tiny little merchant ship for a whole 27 years, so I decided to build him his own regal trading fleet. Even though his little plastic face still shows the same expression, I know deep down his smile is a little wider now. Anyhow, here are some some pictures of the ship:

Corington’s war effort grows in Port Woodhouse; a settlement in the Bretheren of the Brick Seas. Legonaut shared his recent build, an officers barracks, where his character Edward resides when not on patrol.
Bretheren of the Brick Seas is an online role playing game based in the age of sail using LEGO to build various pirate themed creations. Come check out what the other players had to say about the barracks in the LEGO Pirates MOC Forum!
Legonaut Writes:
In follow of Edward’s captaincy promotion he changed his residence from a room in the Ports tavern to the officers Barracks where he now has his stuff. Because he is often on Patrol with his Men to check the bays of Garmas Key the house is the most of time just used by the other officer living there.

Eurobricks member Woody64 has shared his 1790 – 1815 Vignettes in the Pirate Forum.
This particular one caught my eye as I love when paintings of history are recreated in Lego! This scene from the battle of Aspern-Essling was recreated with the help of some custom headgear.
In May of 1809 Napoleon attempted to cross the Danube near Vienna but was driven back by the Austrians under Archduke Charles’s command. This battle was significant as Napoleon had not been defeated in over a decade. Unfortunately for the Archduke Napoleon was able to withdraw the majority of forces so it was never declared a decicive victory.
So enough of the history lesson go check out the rest of his vignettes post haste!

Pantelis has wowed us again in the Pirate Forum. This time taking his castle skills and applying them to a imperial treasure fortress . . . but beware there be pirates!
Don’t delay and head there today to check out his latest creation The Other Side.
Pantelis Writes:
Hi to all folks!! This is my last creation with my lovely Pirates and Imperial Guards characters!
I began making a castle or fort the Imperial Guards and their treasure. Inside the fort they store a horde of treasure from all throughout their colony, and fort also doubles as a school for the Imperial commanders!
But they forget something very important… on The Other Side is the path of the jungle… The path that no one can walk alone.. It’s the path of the great Pirates!!
So this was the story of this MOC.. I hope everybody enjoys it!
