today I would like to share with you information about how I rediscovered the passion for LEGO pirates bricks and show you some of My Own Creations (MOCs).
Back in the days
When I was a child I got a lot of LEGO sets from my parents (I would like to thank them for that!). Most of them was rather small as salary in Poland was really low at that times. According to this source for an annual(sic!) average salary one was able to buy 108 USD. In other way around for a whole year work you were able to buy 1989 flagship - Black Seas Barracuda. With some LEGO sets the shops were giving the catalogues were I was able to admire the largest and most epic sets. I always glared the most at the pirates themed pages. To this day I remember some of them:
Coming out of dark ages
Few weeks ago while doing some work I was asked to position a marker on my desk so specialized
tracker can detect it and got an advice that LEGO bricks can be useful for that. This started everything. Later that day I pulled out of a closet some bricks that I bought on an auction portal a couple years ago. I don't even remember how much it was - one, two or maybe three kilograms. There were a lot of mixed sets, but few were almost complete. It even had some pirates and islanders! I play with thema little bit and got infected...
The madness starts
As I stated earlier - pirates were my favourite theme and I started looking for them. Now it's like Pokemon go frenzy - Gotta Catch 'Em All! And this is the best part - as an adult you do not have to wait for Christmas!
My own creations (MOCs)
From a couple of minifigures and sets I bought I have prepared some own creations.
The first one is entitled: "The vultures are coming"
The lone pirate has sipped all his beverage and there he doe not see any rescue coming. The see is everywhere around him and there is only on bullet in his gun. The sea vultures are gathering around as they feel the inevitable...
The second one depicts the soldier who has passed out during the interrogation. At the moment he is taken by medical services to be prepared for the second meeting with the interrogator.
The last scene presents two sides before incoming confrontation. How centuries of tradition and honor will fare against intruders that bring the technology and progress? Which one will prevail at the end? Who will rule the land? Do the natives has any chance?
BTW sorry for rather depressing theme for MOCs - some real world troubles made my thoughts grim.
TL; DR
