I’ve been wanting to build a spider themed ship for quite a while, and I
first intended the webs to be the rope ladders, but that didn’t work out
as planned, so I used one as a flag, two as windows, and 4 as nets covering >
the bottom deck where the cannons are. I finally got to build a spider ship
after I found two Aragog in the Dark Forest sets for $4 each on clearance at
wal-mart. It has 2 big cannons and 2 little cannons on the front that can
swivel around.

Nice work. And a clever idea too!
| |
I like using parts from space sets and town sets in Pirate creations
and seeing if I can make them look good. An example of that is the
crow’s nest. It is made of a big space tire.
|
I’m not sure I care for the radar-dish ‘umbrella’ over the crow’s nest, but a
good use for a part that would normally be nowhere near a pirate MOC. And I like
the use of the green arms on the Captain Redbeard torso too.
| |
I don’t have the rigging on it, but I should get it on there
soon. I’ll take more pictures of it when I do and put them in my brickshelf
portfolio. The ship is called The Black Widower.
|
Looking forward to seeing more!

I think the figurehead is my favorite part.
|
Yes! Very cool.

I built this lighthouse yesterday. I found a bunch of canisters full of 100
bricks each at Kroger’s a week or so ago when I was visiting my aunt. They
were $1.50 each, so I got 10 of them. I was really interested in the lids
of the canisters. they looked like large LEGO pieces with a big stud that
said LEGO on the top. I wanted to use one for a lighthouse roof. So when I
got home, I did. I know I may get shunned for this, but I used glow in the
dark Megabloks pieces for the light. I like them.
|
Clever!
| |
The lighthouse didn’t turn out as good as I was picturing in my head, but
it’s pretty good in my opinion. It just looks a little juniorized like a
little kid might have made it. Oh well, at least it’s better than my old
lighthouse. That thing looked more like a striped mountain with a
light on top.
|
It’s probably handicapped somewhat by the available colours...red and white
would be more traditional after all. Less tapering might help too. If you’re
going for a remodel, a deck and railing at light level might be useful.
| |
I’ll probably add it to my port town when I redo the town. I’m gonna attempt
to make it much bigger. I’ll take pictures of how it is currently and I’ll
take pictures of it after I redo it.
Tell me what you think.
I’ll add my other ships and all my little people and buildings and pictures
of the town soon. I’ll do a few things each week and kind of spread the
posting of my stuff out.
|
Good plan! I’ll look forward to seeing more!
Cheers
