The mighty Roman Empire, one of the greatest civilizations in history, defined by its architectural wonders and rich mythology, Rome is a genre unto itself. A veritable inspiration for various literature, films and video games, and even a LEGO theme during the 1980s which never came into fruition. Aye, Rome was considered as potential a theme alongside Castle… but Pirates seized the glory!
The Roman Empire had a slew of emperors, some distinguished philosophers, others vile hedonists. One emperor in particular, Aurelian, beckoned to Joellie YT across the sands of time, so much so, he dedicated a ship in honour of the “master and god”. Not just in name, but the ship’s figured also bares resemblance to the once great ruler.
Sporting a sleek ivory hull and crafty custom sails, the HMS Aurelian is a formidable addition to the Imperial Guard’s fleet. So beware ye wretched pirates!
Joellie YT writes:
Ahoy everyone!
I’m super excited to share my newest Lego sailing ship MOC, the HMS Aurelian! it’s named after one of my favorite Roman emperors, who makes a special cameo as the figurehead of the ship 🙂
I’d say [the ship class] a little earlier than [the Napoleonic wars], like 1750s-ish probably! It’s still got the King’s Colors flag so it’s at least before 1801 🙂
She consists of 26 cannons. eighteen 12-pounder (official firing LEGO cannons, two long nines and six 8-pounders. it features three sets of sails, a decorated stern, and an interior. There’s also a double helm and working capstan ^-^
There are around 2,000 pieces used for the build i believe. the quite rough digital build took about a week to make and the refining process/physical build about 3 weeks (including the wait for Bricklink parts) ^^
The bow from which the mighty figurehead can be observed
Look how broad that broadside is! Those cannons are at the ready
Not much is happening on the starboard side but just wait until those gun ports are open
The stern flying the first Union Jack – aye, there was a later revision. Do ye know the difference between first and second Union Jack?
The Deck
Now let’s take a closer look at the hard working crew in action…
Joellie continues:
Here’s a little look at the upper deck! it features a railing, the ship’s bell, the double helm and a few 8-pounder cannons 🙂
The front has a working capstan and 2 long nines/chasers (but they’re turned to the side right now :3)
Welcome to the upper deck – that fancy looking man must be the rich patron who chartered the voyage
Some smaller cannons and a double helm ensure the ships remains on course during those tumultuous storms
Joellie continues:
While at the rear there are the stairs heading down onto the lower decks. the ladder can be raised and lowered. also, you can see the clutter on the deck, i really love that look personally so it was nice to include here 🙂
It even has a working capstan! Or do we need to see video proof of that?
The stairs leading to the lower deck… what’s down there? A galley? Some hammocks? Rats?
Joellie continues:
Probably the most dangerous area of the ship, the big hole in the center, it’s meant to transport cargo to the holds, but in hindsight i should have probably provided a railing or something. I’ve lost count of the amount of times the sailor has fallen in haha.
Speaking of the lower decks, here’s a look at the cannons stationed there, there’s also a little storage compartment containing…
Behold… the cargo hold… be there seized bounty from bloodthirsty pirates down there?
And beneath the main deck is the gun deck… because you can never have too many cannons!
Carrot storage – carrots help yer see better in the dark so yer don’t need to wear an eye patch
The captain’s cabin – the captain must have difficulty concentrating with those cannons firing
Joellie continues:
This [cabin’s cabin] is probably the most disappointing area of the ship, the captain’s quarters. unfortunately in order to have the full 9-cannon broadside, most room had to be taken up by the cannon stationed there. tips on the interior would be greatly appreciated 😀
And that’s a wrap!
Video Showcase
Wait! You didn’t think we’d end this blog post here, did yer? How about some video of the HMS Aurelian…
Joellie continues:
If you’d like to see more of the ship, I have a YouTube video showcasing it further.
How about that? Joellie has other ships for us to investigate in the future.
Behind the Scenes
Like any great creation the HMS Aurelius didn’t appear in a instant, Joellie contributed much hard work and effort to bring this ship to life.
When asked about his creative process, he more than delivered on the details…
Joellie continues:
There’s more than just renders though! I’ll post the most interesting WIP pictures 😀 I’ll post them in chronological order.
I started off with this, I call them pallets. They’re essentially a little mockup of colors and bricks I’m planning on using for the ship. As shown on the picture, I had 4 designs I was quite fond of. After asking around most people seemed to prefer the last ”tan” option, so I went with that 😀
Here be Joellie’s palettes – which one do yer like best?
Next we move into the digital realm…
Joellie continues:
I then went over to stud.io, where I transformed the mockup into a digital vessel. It was my first attempt at building digitally, but probably also my last. I prefer building with physical pieces ^^ I didn’t bother making an interior, deck and masts/yard arms, I thought it best to do that in real life so I could take things like weight and gravity into account 🙂
Building digitally is a great way to proof the design before committing to physical bricks – but it’s not for everyone
The stern was considerably less decorative in the beginning
Joellie continues:
First day of building got quite a lot of progress done 😀
A little look at the deck construction. it was a little finicky, but ended up working out in the long run !
I hope this gives you a pretty detailed look at the build process! Thanks for making the blog post, I really appreciate it ^-^
Joellie likes to work by candlelight
The deck posed some challenges during the construction but Joellie overcame them
Joellie revised the stern with some lovely gold trimmings
Nearly complete! Just got to add the sails. Glorious custom sails!
Joellie continues:
Yesh, the sails are a special kinda paper. It’s off-white, kinda tan ish but you can’t see that too well in the pictures.
I used regular A4 papers as a trail version to measure and draw the right distances between the holes and to work out the shapes. I then bought some fancy looking off-white, thick textured paper and traced the mockup sails on it, cut it out and punched some holes with one of those hole punchers. Oohh yeah and then I used some black marker for the outlining of the sails, voila!
Who the Heck is Aurelian?
Aurelian (that’s Lucius Domitius Aurelianus if you prefer full names) was a Roman emperor, who reigned during the Crisis of the Third Century, from 270 to 275. While emperor, his military prowess for victories was unrivaled, reuniting the Roman Empire after it had fell into disarray under the relentless onslaught of barbarian invasion and internal revolts. He emerged into the world under rather humble circumstances, near the Danube River circa 214. At the tender age of 21 he enrolled in the Roman army and ascended the ranks. He lead the cavalry of emperor Gallienus, until Gallienus’ untimely demise in 268, followed by a succession of briefly appointed emperors, he became emperor himself in 270.
Here is a nice photo artistic impression of Aurelian – does the figurehead look anything like him?
During Aurelian’s reign, his impressive resume of defeated enemies includes; the Alamanni, Goths, Vandals, Juthungi, Sarmatians, and Carpi. Restoration and expansion – that’s what Aurelian stood for. He achieved a marvelous repair job on the Roman Empire’s eastern provinces after his conquest of the Palmyrene Empire in 27, then in the sequel he conquered the Gallic Empire in Rome’s west, reuniting the Roman Empire in its entirety. If you couldn’t tell from the name, he was responsible for the construction of the Aurelian Walls in Rome. He cleared all the riffraff out the Dacia province, and enacted monetary reforms to reduce the devaluation of the Roman currency. Quite the overachiever, huh?
And he would very much like you to refer to him as “dominus et deus” which translates to “master and god”. He was also bestowed the title; “Restitutor Orbis”, but you can look that translation up yourself.
About the Builder…
Joellie YT created a Flickr account especially to share images of this MOC in the LEGO Pirates forum. While the HMS Aurelian is the only MOC available in his photostream, you should definitely follow on him Flickr because he’ll probably share exciting future projects. Well, it would be very encouraging for him to post if he has devoted followers!
But YouTube is where Joellie shines! His YouTube channel boasts dozens of great videos; there’s a good deal of Star Wars, but also a generous helping of naval ships. Aye, the HMS Aurelian is not his first voyage into these waters! While yer there, ye might like to inspect his British warship, his American warship, and his brigantine, HMS Endurance. Perhaps one day, Joellie will share these other creations with us in greater detail.
What Do Yer Think?
Would Admiral Woodhouse be pleased to have this ship as part of his fleet? And has Joellie done emperor Aurelian justice with this vessel? Or can ye give him a tip or two for improving?
Here’s the money shot!
He’d love to hear from you… well, read your rantings thoughts in the LEGO Pirates Forum.
But remember! Official LEGO sets have a more limited part count than MOCs so the onus is to convince everyone your creation is an official set.

Don’t Know What Eldorado Fortress is?
If yer a youngin who’s still discovering the classic LEGO Pirates sets, here’s a quick overview.
The original 6276 Eldorado Fortress was the first large Imperial Soldier set, released during 1989 among the first wave LEGO Pirate Sets.
Do you have the original Eldorado Fortress?
The original set contains 496 pieces and 8 minifigs; 4 blue coat soldiers (all identical), a more youtful Governor Broadside minifig and his second in command name Lieutenant de Martinet in the Golden Medallion comic and Ladybird Book series. Like almost all large classic Pirates set, Eldorado Fortress included a Captain Redbeard minifigure, accompanied by the original Starboardminifig.
Among the many innovations and elements the LEGO Pirates theme introduced, this set was the first to be built upon a raised base plate to allow for a more substantial fortress.
The Admiral’s office – WAIT! Has Broadside become an Admiral or is that someone else?
The soldiers are having a liquid breakfast
The Soldiers have already caught the Pirates and the set hasn’t even been released yet
The Imperial crane has undergone significant upgrade throughout the past 34 years

The LEGO Pirate Submissions
And now let’s get to the submissions which count the most…
Imperial Sloop “Neptune” by Arcturus7
In the Caribbean waters of the colonial era, the sloop was a popular style of ship among traders and pirates alike. Sloops came in a variety of configurations but were often single-masted vessels with a gaff-rigged mainsail and usually long and thin in shape. They could be operated by smaller crews and were fast, allowing them to overtake slower ships or outrun threats from larger, more heavily armed square-rigged vessels.
An Imperial ship without any Imperials!
The full build is 1005 pieces including 4 minifigures and 1 sticker, and is approximately 18” long by 14” high by 4.5” wide when displayed on its stand. The ship itself is approximately 18” long by 13” high by 4.25” wide.
In many ways, I designed this ship as a counter to more typical designs. I wanted to represent imperial forces rather than pirates. I wanted something smaller yet still respectable, equally able to be displayed or played with, but more attainable as compared to a multi-thousand-piece build. And I wanted something unique in appearance that didn’t follow the same formula for number of masts and style of sails. I’m very proud of the results and I hope you’ll lend your support to turn this design into reality. Thank you!
Ominous Isle is the dreaded base of operations for the fearsome Captain Mutton Chops and his motley crew. The signature skull is the final warning to foolish travellers that they have ventured too far into dangerous waters and are about to have their first and final encounter with the legendary pirate captain.
Vote for Captain Mutton Chops from the 70s – the 1670s!
The isle is surrounded in mystery. There are rumours of secret treasure, fierce sea monsters and ancient ruins from a lost civilization. However, the pirate crew is quite at home here, with strong defences, a luxurious captain’s quarters, a well-stocked kitchen and an overflowing treasure store.
The terror of the seas…The royal Vengance imperial ship… All pirates, you’ll be warned! Justice shall be done upon you!
BrickMOCBay returns with a new Imperial ship… another ship without any imperial minifigs…
This ship is the counterpart of any pirate ship out there in the seven seas. Basically it has the same fundamentals as my Black Fortune pirate ship, but heavily modified to get the imperial look with all the details inside and outside to match the arch enemy pirate ships. The main goal is to present an imperial ship long waited by the pirate theme fans.
Dimensions: 83 cm / 33 inches long | 57 cm / 22.5 inches high | 24 cm / 9.5 inches wide
Pajaro Island Fort, is a rocky tropical island, that is home to a small naval fort which guards the coast from pirates. The island is named after the birds which stop for rest during their annual migrations. The island is also home to the yellow tavern which provides food and fresh water to visitors.
Move aside Imperial Armada, we have a new Imperial faction with green uniforms!
I designed this set to be modular and all interior sections are accessible for play. There is a total of 2011 parts, including 7 minifigures, 3 canons, 3 birds, 1 fish, 1 crab, and 1 rat.
The Imperials are not the only ones who have a problem with pirates. The Colonials have put together a navy of their own to defend their coastlines. To lead the fight against pirates is a newly launched ship named “The Interceptor”. It is a heavily armed frigate ready to bring thieves to justice.
Finally an Imperial ship that actually has Imperial minifigures!
This model has a fully removeable deck to allow access to the lower deck where most of the cannons are as well as the captain’s cabin. The captain’s cabin is very spacious for a LEGO ship of this size. In it. There is plenty of room to dine, sleep, and review maps and battle strategies.
Enter the world of Sanctuary Cove, a haven for merchants and commoners, a place where no riffraff is to be found…LEGO never produced a merchant vessel, so I wanted to fill the gap!
The Crimson Outpost is located on a small island not far from the pirate town Port Sauvage somewhere in the maze of Caribbean archipelagos. The tower of the old pirate fortress stands firmly, withstanding the waves, and can be seen from afar.
Brickjester resubmits his submission from series 1
This design was made by me from scratch, inspired by quite a few sources. I’ve always been fascinated by the old Lego Pirate sets, I love the ships, but was under the impression that the pirates were never getting any proper buildings. My intention is to change that.
Arrrr….The Black Fortune pirate ship… It started as a modification of one of an older design and turned out to be built almost from the ground up. Model consists 3980 parts with 10 minifigures included.
The Black Fortune is also back for another round…
This is a resubmission of the same model from Series 1. It started as a modification of one of an older design and turned out to be built almoust from the ground up. The main focus was to have the right amount of detail inside and outside and catch the perfect pirate vibe from the golden age of piracy without going overboard but still have some of movie like feeling.
Dimensions: 89 cm / 35 inches long | 57 cm / 22.5 inches high | 24 cm / 9.5 inches wide.
Welcome to the Imperial Brig. It is inspired by many classic LEGO pirates sets and a general interest in pirates and adventures on the high seas.As a small boy I received a LEGO pirates set at Christmas after my family had fled our war-torn country. It left a lasting impression on me that I’ve only come to realize as an adult.
When your Broadside’s Brig starts getting a bit full, you may need to upgrade to something more spacious
The Imperial Brig consists of 2024 parts total and 5 minifigures: an imperial officer, two imperial soldiers, and two pirates, one in the brig, and the other attempting a daring rescue. Its nostalgic yellow, dark-red, and white color pattern would fit nicely next to modern or vintage sets. The Imperial Brig would be a perfect display set for classic pirates fans! Its nostalgic yellow, dark-red, and white color pattern would fit nicely next to modern or vintage sets. As a play set it offers the chance for pirates and imperial soldiers to go at it, whether at the lower level, on the ramparts, or in the barracks.
The gist is; you build a digital design using BrickLink Studio and then submit it to this program, pray to the almighty gods that AFOLs vote for it, and then somehow magic it into an official set someday in the future. But not a LEGO set… a BrickLink Designer Program set… which is different.
Approved designs are granted crowdfunding opportunities with pre-orders but a maximum of 5 designs are selected for crowdfunding, and only designs which reach 3,000 pre-orders enter production up to 20,000 sets.
Submissions must be built in BrickLink Studio as per the Series 2Submission Guidelines.
What Do Yer Think?
Does Captain Mutton Chops have what it takes to become the next Brickbeard?
Are there any Series 2 submissions which catch yer eye? Do yer think any have a hope of becoming a set? And have yer voted for any of them?
A doubloon for your thoughts on the 2023 Bricklink Design Program… Let’s discuss this matter further in the LEGO Pirates Forum or on the Facebook post.
Posted by Mister Phes in Bricklink | Comments Off on Pirate Submissions in the 2023 BrickLink Designer Program Series 2
With the conquest of the New World came the inevitable conquest of the ‘one true faith’. Millions of Indigo Islanders were spared their heathen ways and shepherded towards a theology of another persuasion, while toiling in the name of gold a foreign monarch during the age of exploitation exploration.
These controversial practices required the erection of numerous churches throughout the Caribbean, in which the newly enlightened could attend the Sunday mass, confess their sins and beg forgiveness for whatever past grievances their new messiah may disapprove of.
One such re-education centre was built upon blueprints crafted by the finest Italian architect, Amedeo Pedata. Despite its ecumenical origins, could this bethel have been transformed into something else? Something nefariously imperial? We shall soon find out…
Welcome to the Church of Torture. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave
Amedeo writes:
A small church stood on a rock outcropping in the Caribbean seas. Place of retreat for preachers who left for the new world to convert the natives.
But many years had passed since the discovery of the Americas, and the little church had become a possession of the blue coats who brought the buccaneers there, and subjected them to exhausting interrogations.
And for those who didn’t speak, there was nothing but the dungeons infested with giant spiders…
The Holy Exterior
Our tour starts with an parrot-eye view of a beautiful cross mounted on the roof catches the attention of all
As it was built on some God forsaken rock, the church is only accessible by sea. If ye be a pirate, beware, for there is a deadly cannon awaiting you
A small pier for row boats was constructed in the deeper water, just a shy of rather hazardous rocks
Back view reveals some beautiful rock-building skills
The ‘angled’ construction against the base water gives even more visual depth. Fantastic!
Despite the obvious lack of the freshwater, flowers seem to boom on this holy isle
From above we may observe the beautiful texture of the sea surrounding the island
The Unholy Interior
Amedeo continues:
It was born as a “torture room”, for a medieval-themed contest on a 16×16 base (the first MOC was just the church, without a facade, used for the inquisition ).
Then, since I liked it, I enlarged the base to 32×32 and added the facade of the church… then I converted it to a pirate theme to add it to a diorama (several independent sections to juxtapose).
Finally I enlarged it to 48×48, imagining it as an isolated landing place. In short, 4/5 months of changes.
Not to be undone by the beautiful exterior, the interior is literally filled with countless awesome small details
Here we can see how a lovely chandelier is cleverly mounted on the roof beams
When we think about the confession inside the church we don’t have corporal punishment in mind… but, drastic times require drastic measures
Look at the unevenly stacked envelopes, the upward hanging skeleton, the cross above the ‘Interrogation Officer’ seat, and the texture of walls. Plenty of these small details make one captivating scene
The use of the advanced technique makes for a colourful window glass – steal borrow this idea!
Well, praise the Lord for the spider dungeon! A final touch to a MOC evenly balanced between the pure beauty and the wickedness of man
About the Builder…
A versatile builder and one of those Facebook pirates, Amedeo Pedata is a member of the Classic-Pirates Facebook Group where he regularly shares stunning creations for group members to marvel. His talent knows no boundaries as he easily hops from land based builds to a more challenging ships design, and back!
Pirates are his favourite theme, but for his other brilliant ‘brick work’ (and very fine skills in LEGO photography) visit his Flickr account which is bulging with numerous awesome builds.
What Do Yer Think?
Do you think Governor Broadside would approve the misuse of a house of God? Or would his blood be boiling if he discovered these crimes against humanity? What’s your favourite part… the spider infested dungeons or the stunning exterior?
