“Silver Crab” by Murdoch17

Sunday, February 28th, 2021 Featured Image for “Silver Crab” by Murdoch17

This pirate ship is Captained by a pirate ancestors of Spongebob Squarepants (as Captain Bob “The Sponge” Squarepants), Patrick Star (Rick “No-beard” Star the lazy pirate lookout), Sandy Cheeks (Miss Cheeks, a fierce hand-to-hand fighter) and Squidward Tentacles, (Mr. Tentacles, the helmsman and reluctant pirate recruit)

Mr. Krab is another pirate, but of course he has his own ship, the Krusty Krab. The Silver Crab is a ship wanted by Captain Krab’s, for a treasure map he engraved into the helm’s wheel long ago. (unknown to everyone, however, is that bluecoat Commodore Plankton is stalking Captain Krab’s ship for stealing what was originally his treasure… which is now locatable because of said engraved map on Captain Squarepants’ ship.)

Confused enough yet?

The pirate ship has six non-firing cannon barrels, with a movable rudder and a rear sail that swings back and forth. (Miss Cheeks mini-figure’s head is not in LDD, so she’s headless in the first picture) The ship itself is based off a MOC of the Dying Gull from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise. (specifically Dead Men Tell No Tales) Here is the instructions page if you want to build it.

Here’s the comparison with the original MOC if you are interested:

Rapa Nui: Easter Island Voyage – The Islanders meet the Dutch

Friday, February 26th, 2021 Featured Image for Rapa Nui: Easter Island Voyage – The Islanders meet the Dutch

 

THE SET…
I really wanted to create a historical event or scene that is not that known to most people in LEGO, so I decided I’d try this… The Easter Island Voyage! It is a recreation of the first Europeans, the Dutch, being the first to discover Easter Island in 1722. Later, others soon explored Easter Island, Such as the Spanish, Captain Cook of England, and the French. And of course, what most astounded these explorers were the giant Easter Island Head monoliths, also known as Moai. The Islands original inhabitants, the Pacific islanders of polynesia, built these mysterious Moai heads.
While the Dutch called it Easter Island, the islands native inhabitants named it Rapa Nui.
The set idea includes shore line, the coastal waters, and a display border.
THIS SET CONTAINS…
An Easter island/moai head (it wouldn’t be Rapa Nui without one!)…
A black dutch row boat…
An islanders red canoe…
A cave that contains a barrel, a straw mat, and a wooden pole to support the roof. The home of an islander.
MINIFIGURES…
An islander…
A Dutch Captain…
Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen…
Hope you like the idea and support so this historical event can be made in LEGO! It can be used for play and display. It contains exactly 776 pieces.
