I thought Lugnet.Pirates needed some life breathed into it, so I sat in my

I made my third and final (at least for quite a while, because I’m quite proud
of it) lighthouse.

I fixed mistakes I made with the first two (A few that were pointed out before
when I posted my second one.).
I made the stripes larger, and made it better colors.

Very nice!
| |
I still used my idea for the roof (A lid from a canister of LEGO pieces that I
bought about ten of. It came in blue or red.) but changed the color from red
to blue.
|
The blue works better than the red.

My sigfig (Davy Kidd) and some Indian guy are on the top, as you can see.
There is an actual house thing at the bottom. I was looking for a good excuse
to use those burnt orange type color pieces, which I have plenty of. I think
they look good. I put the same color railings in front of the house to go with
it, and I thought it needed some green plants and a stone walkway to finish it
off.

I like the mottled blue-green roof.

The roof comes off. It’s not very big, but I will make an interior so some
little LEGO person (or persons) in my pirate town can live there.

I know this is probably horrible to do and speak of, but I used glow in the
dark Megabloks pieces in the lighthouse to make it “light up”.
I really like those pieces, and I think it looks good.
Here, take a look for yourself...

Taking pictures of glow in the dark pieces is hard if you want to show them
glowing I found out. But maybe it’s just because my camera is crappy.
Here’s the whole brickshelf folder:

Well, enjoy, and despite how proud I am of it, I always like constructive
criticism, but it has to be constructive. It can’t be like “That sucks and
you’re horrible at taking pictures. Give away your LEGO stuff before you
disgrace us all.” That would be mean. I’m being silly.
Let me know what you think, as long as is constructive.

Nice to have another building in .pirates! Not taking away anything from the
many vessels we’ve had in recent times, but it is good to see some pirate type
buildings now and then.
