| | | | | Hey Jon, Long time no see, welcome back. Arr, this be a great MOC, matey (though shouldn't you be busy making Minas Tirith? ;) ). I love the incorporation of ship elements, and the use of tan rounds really looks like they used bamboo to make the (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | | Hey Bruce, How is it going for you? I hope you are doing well. It has been a while since my last MOC posting, but I've been lurking and posting here and there. I had a lot of problems with lighting and sharpness during the picture taking (I'm not a (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Ahoy! Nice work! It reminds me of the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse (now Tarzan's treehouse, I believe) at Disneyland - whimsical, but also believable. You've achieved a good tropical feel (great choice of foliage for the trees), and I love (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the compliments Richie. I was just down in CA during the Holiday and I must admit that I did take a lot of inspiration from the Tarzan Treehouse (it certainly was much more detailed when it was SFR). Especially the Ship's bow as an (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| | | | | Hello! This is so cool! Looking at your MOC I instantly got the feeling I was in a Monkey-Islandish cartoon scene. Very atmospheric, very detailed and of course very skillfully built. Well, I wouldn't have expected the opposite. :-) I didn't even (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

I did fret a bit over the black trees but figured that if they were good enough for the forestmen, then they would work for the pirates. I can't (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates)

I love the placement of the figs 'in action' as well...really captures (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Keep up the great work - better to post gold periodically than (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Thanks for noticing the broken rail, it's always a question of how broken in should things be, so I figured that it would be pretty damaged after the hoist. Thanks again!
