You should definitely keep the retro Lego aesthetic. It works so well with the pirates theme! A white fortress and then a small town and harbour would look great together with this.
@@SaulGoodman313 With the moc already, I really want to see waves around the pirate ship and the dolphins. No way the water would be that calm. If he used a similar building technique as his Lego city diving people I think it would look really good.
As a fellow pirate ship enthusiast, here's a tip: the flags should be waving towards the front of the ship if it is sailing. The wind would be blowing in the direction the ship is moving, so the flags would be blown the other direction. VERY good looking rigging; it really brings the whole build together!
The two flag on the top of the pirateship should be turn 180 degree because the wind comes from behind otherwise the ship can't move. Everything else is perfect!!
Is that true though? A ship can sail in winds coming at it from the front. Maybe they would need to be reconfigured? EDIT - you said flag but I read sail!
@@NittanyNation22 Since large sail ships use wind to propel them forward, the flags are also affected by the same wind, pointing them forward. It is much easier for the wind to move the flags forward, than to push an entire ship (using the sails), so the flags will almost always point forward. If the ship used a motor or something, then the flag would most likely point backwards (as the ship is being pushed "into" the wind, not "with" the wind). As sailboat modeling is a classic hobby, this has become common knowledge among the hobbyists. edit: If the ship was sailing towards the wind, the sails would be down. Otherwise the wind would start carrying the ship backwards.
Love that you bring back another classic theme! For the palm trees: maybe you can use those ugly bottom pieces by levelling it with one layer and cover it up by a top layer?
The net building technique is absurd! I love it! And that pirate ship is awesome. All the little ropes add a lot of life and realism. Congrats on the exhibition!
Seeing the moc and then the background is amazing. I was so confused for a second thinking it was a wall painting before I realized those mountains were real 11:27
the pirate cutlass pieces always make me nostalgic. when i was a kid i got a big bin of random legos from my uncle and it had a ton of cutlasses and monkeys in it and i remember doing a ton of fun stories with my pirate monkeys 😄
A pirate island is such a cool idea. The pirate ship is one of the best Lego ships I’ve ever seen. Idk what else is planned if the Pirate Bay will be quadrupled, but a small navy sloop shadowing the pirates or a grounded shipwreck would be cool additions
Absolutely fantastic! I love it! One thing I wish you would try in this and your city is making your water more dimensional. It's always so flat, which makes the water feel pretty lifeless and still. I wish there were more rolling waves and contours to it.
@@EugeneMorgan-nj4qyI'm not exactly sure but regular PVA glue should work just fine. Its water soluble so if you ever needed to get it off you could just let the glue peices soak in a bucket of water for a bit and the glue would soften up enough to remove
Just a suggestion, if you do have to glue anything, glue it using a low-temp "foam safe" hot glue gun like the one from Woodland Scenics. Hot glue is super easy to undo afterwards and the lower temps won't damage the bricks.
I would replace a few of the water tiles around the dolphins with white tiles to give the idea that they’re jumping out of the water and it doesn’t look so flat there.
When I was eight, I was desperate for the Lego Pirate ship, but it was a lot of money, we couldn't afford it. The one they have now is rubbish by comparison. This is magnificent ❤❤❤❤
I love the net building technique. I thought for a second you were going to make a giant hill out of them because it creates such a smooth gradient. Maybe one day!😂
You won't believe how many times I smiled during the video... The building techniques, the theming of the island, the ship, the gondola, the mountains,.... I'm so happy for you! This all look amazing, and I hope to continue seeing where all of this takes you. Great job!
A pirate bay area!!! Holy moly this makes me so happy!! 🤩 I do think the ship could use a different color than yellow, it's a bit too strong. But otherwise it just looks amazing!!
There's nothing more appropriate for a snowy ski setting than a tropical island. Well done. Pirates is a MOC theme I would love to explore more, as it fits alongside my favourite theme, mediaeval, very effectively.
Congratulations! I’m glad you got picked to show off your MOC! Your building style is incredible and extremely detailed! Looking forward to seeing more city updates in the future too!
When you first started with the nets, I wasn't sure what you were going for, but the end result looked great. We sometimes underestimate how just slight angles make things look way more interesting.
Small suggestions; you could secure the palm trees in a 2x2 plate with a hole in the middle and a technic pin. The treasure being dug up might be more recognisable and be a cool detail if you could make the hole deeper so the whole chest could be there, slightly open, showing some gold or other.
There's got to be a way to use the base of the palm trees but cover it. I had a couple pirate sets with those things, I didn't realize they were discontinued! So pricy! It looks like you had about as cool a day as anyone could up on the mountain. Congrats on being featured, you deserve it!
Finding innovative new ways to torture yourself with massive 1x1 builds as always! If you don't like the look of the palm bases you can "bury" them in the sand by a plate and then use angled plates to mostly cover them. Or I think a peg or Technic pin or something would fit in the center, which you could then attach more securely?
Amazing bloody video, this is just ethereal and incredible. Your skiing is really professional and how you brought your moc up on a ski lift to a convention was nuts.
If you glue anything, you should use hot glue whenever possible. It'll add enough stability and 'sticking power' for most usecases while having a low enough melting point that you could use a hair dryer on the lowest setting to pull it up without any pieces around it getting damaged and without any residue being left.
Felt like a kid watching this. Nice work! Never would have thought to use some of those techniques to build like that when I was younger. And I thought I was clever putting tiny remote-control engines (from helicopters) in Lego cars and sending them into walls lol.
Lego and a 330, only getting better my man :-), keep having fun. I absolutely love how you get to do the things you re passionate about here close to home in europe.
Due to determination of our kids, We have extended our Sudtyrol vacation and went to Iscgl to see your lego creation. It was more than worthed! Hopefully next time we can visit you in Insbruck.
Awesome new project! Quick question, would you consider a LEGO Icons Castle System-style table/project next? (Think: Lion Knight’s Castle and Medieval Town Square style MOCs?) P.S. Castle fans upvote plz
oh I *adore* this, I really want lego to bring back their pirates theme and that ship is gorgeous. I really hope to see more lego sailing ships to populate the bay! I also really like how the ship you have now looks very early age of sail, very 1600s-y with that big quarterdeck and the forecastle, along with that spritsail.
Ahoy-yee-mateys! Love the pirate theme. That ship and island are awesome. But wouldn't expect anything less from you as all your builds are fantastic. Thanks for the mini trip up the mountain too!
This was your craziest video yet. That net building technique? The angles on the pirate ship? Building LEGO on a mountain?!
hard agree! that net tech was mental lol
fr that boat was crazy
A fellow man of culture I see; may the superflat continue for the next 10 years
how did you find this channel
He is also a person
I can’t imagine anything more fierce than a germanic Lego competition.
On top of a mountain, no less.
Lego eagle’s nest
You should definitely keep the retro Lego aesthetic. It works so well with the pirates theme!
A white fortress and then a small town and harbour would look great together with this.
I would really love to see either a small town/harbour or two ships battling it out nearby.
OMG YES. something inspired by the original eldorado fortress set would be SO FITTING
@@SaulGoodman313 With the moc already, I really want to see waves around the pirate ship and the dolphins. No way the water would be that calm. If he used a similar building technique as his Lego city diving people I think it would look really good.
A fortress under construction.
Naw guys do the ship and island being overrun by undead pirates

The flag on the bowsprit aswell
Is that true though? A ship can sail in winds coming at it from the front. Maybe they would need to be reconfigured? EDIT - you said flag but I read sail!
But when the ship is moving the flags would flow behind because of the air the ship is moving through
@@mouseyender Rewatching the video, I now don't think I understand what Tauverde is saying. Is that poster saying the top 2 are backwards?

Or cover it up with low-lying vegetation
Definitely add a bow wave to the ship- it looks odd without it

Oh bummer, I was hoping for a medieval layout, but this is the next best option! Can't wait to see how this progresses!
Castle is coming soon too :)
@@Brick_CraftsYEESS
@@Brick_CraftsJaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ich bin so fröhlich, dass ich das gehoren habe!
SPACE?
I've been watching every video for almost two years and I haven't got bored once. Your videos are great!
Ohhh yesssss finally a new episode !!!
The different shades of brown under the water really add to the perceived depth!
Awesome building as always!
Seeing the moc and then the background is amazing. I was so confused for a second thinking it was a wall painting before I realized those mountains were real 11:27
I watched the German version of this because it came out earlier and it is just gorgeous. I am glad I can understand what you are saying now though!
The German Videos will always be uploaded earlier then the English ones, since the German Channel is his "main" channel
the pirate cutlass pieces always make me nostalgic. when i was a kid i got a big bin of random legos from my uncle and it had a ton of cutlasses and monkeys in it and i remember doing a ton of fun stories with my pirate monkeys 😄
I do not envy how mind numbing some of those building techniques took. The build looks incredible though well worth all those small designs
The only true mind numbing part is installing 10,000 1x1 plates 😂
A pirate island is such a cool idea. The pirate ship is one of the best Lego ships I’ve ever seen. Idk what else is planned if the Pirate Bay will be quadrupled, but a small navy sloop shadowing the pirates or a grounded shipwreck would be cool additions
CONGRATS, on having the highground, obi one kenobi would be soooooo jealous 😂
Absolutely fantastic! I love it!
One thing I wish you would try in this and your city is making your water more dimensional. It's always so flat, which makes the water feel pretty lifeless and still. I wish there were more rolling waves and contours to it.
Use a plate with a hole and a bar to hold the palm trees up better.
Yes or just use the original bases as it is part of the aesthetic of Lego.
For future use: There is a glue that can be used on Lego that washes off.
What like bro
What glue
@@EugeneMorgan-nj4qyI'm not exactly sure but regular PVA glue should work just fine. Its water soluble so if you ever needed to get it off you could just let the glue peices soak in a bucket of water for a bit and the glue would soften up enough to remove
I was awestruck watching this! The island looks great and the ship was simply magnificent. Loved every minute of it.
Just a suggestion, if you do have to glue anything, glue it using a low-temp "foam safe" hot glue gun like the one from Woodland Scenics. Hot glue is super easy to undo afterwards and the lower temps won't damage the bricks.
That is a fantastic looking sand effect for the path!
And the palmtrees are looking crazy good as well

I couldn't wait any longer !!

i think swapping the yellow for pearl gold would look incredible, i do like the yellow though
I love the net building technique. I thought for a second you were going to make a giant hill out of them because it creates such a smooth gradient. Maybe one day!😂
Wow wow wow wow what an amazing video.....and wow the island is simply stunning I love the water technique and the sand technique wow!!!!
Can't wait to see what this guy does with the Castle theme.
I can't get over how the wood in the hull of the ship looks. It looks very organic and textured. The whole mockup has this quality too. Amazing work!
I love how your water actually reflects the ship!!!!
You won't believe how many times I smiled during the video... The building techniques, the theming of the island, the ship, the gondola, the mountains,.... I'm so happy for you! This all look amazing, and I hope to continue seeing where all of this takes you. Great job!
Gold would look really Nice on the ship
I think that it would be a nice idea to use smooth light sand colour tiles for the beach right near the water to make the effect of smooth wet sand
Wow! I cannot wait to see how this moc expands- I love the retro Lego Pirate and Knights themes. So cool!
A pirate bay area!!! Holy moly this makes me so happy!! 🤩 I do think the ship could use a different color than yellow, it's a bit too strong. But otherwise it just looks amazing!!

The barrel raft!!! Brilliant!
Awesome! Congrats on the tv interview! Look forward to all that is to come in the future!
Pirate was one of my favorite themes as a kid, I remember when the first sets rolled out, can't how this will turn out
I love it!! The brick built sails look so cool! Pirates have to be one of my favorite LEGO themes.
Now that I know you love skiing, you definitely need to add a ski slope (resort?) to your city build!
Also looking forward to more pirate MOC!
I love that life-sized hiker CMF at the ski resort. I bet it really complemented your and others' builds.
Gorgeous stuff, learned new palm tree top technique, strongly prefer pearl gold for the pirate ship.
The layering effect for the water and the beach looks amazing,
I freaking love skiing
by far one of my favourite themes and it looks great with your building style! super excited to see more of this
The path and general topography are so cool looking!! Definitely worth the extra effort. 😁
When you first started with the nets, I wasn't sure what you were going for, but the end result looked great. We sometimes underestimate how just slight angles make things look way more interesting.

That's a great MOC. I especially liked the brilliant building techniques to achieved all those curves on the pirate ship!

I love Europe 🇪🇺🌍
And I love Lego pirates, can't wait to see this get even bigger and crazier. Congratulations 🎉
Definitely time to add a gondola and mini lego convention to the Lego city mountain.
Felt like a kid watching this. Nice work! Never would have thought to use some of those techniques to build like that when I was younger. And I thought I was clever putting tiny remote-control engines (from helicopters) in Lego cars and sending them into walls lol.
WOW! SUPERCOOL that exhibition at the top of the mountain!!
Next to the hole the pirates are digging shoud be heaps of sand from the digging ;)
Congrats on being part of the exhibit. It's well deserved!!
I like the yellow honestly. The palm tree design is so cool
Fantastic! I always learn new techniques with your channel. That’s amazing that you were able to participate in a show on top of a mountain.

Absolutely amazing. You blow me away every time. Just a stunning work of art 👍
I didn't realise you were a part of that exhibition, it is well deserved and looks great!
Wow congrats on having your build displayed like that! It is a cool new project and I can't wait for more!
adding a stylized compass rose to a corner of the build might look nice
That ship build is mind bending.
Congratulations! This is an amazing build and what an incredible venue!

Love the brickbuild sails
What a cool place for a Lego exhibition.
Pardon the pun, it probably wasn't intentional, or was it?
the stopped ships usually have the sails collected bc if you have the sails extended or in a position that have wind to them, the ship moves forward
big respect for the brick built sails. thats sweet
LETS GOOOO!! this is so awesome!!! I can't wait to see how you add on to this display!
oh I *adore* this, I really want lego to bring back their pirates theme and that ship is gorgeous. I really hope to see more lego sailing ships to populate the bay!

Nice to see something different. That ship is outta this world! =3
I loved this video congratulations! That Pirate display is beautiful. Such a great video!
Never thought I’d enjoy a non-town update video so much. This was great.
Would love an island with beaches and a fort in a pirate theme, Lego Nassau!!
I love that ship. Totally would buy a set!
Fantastic video . Step by step, all the details of your impressive Lego project. We love the pirate theme. Congratulations for all your work!!! 👏👏👏
Hands down, best lego builder I know of
The pirate island looks awesome, the ship is incredible
Gold would look better on the ship
The highest Lego exhibition is cool
Ahoy-yee-mateys! Love the pirate theme. That ship and island are awesome. But wouldn't expect anything less from you as all your builds are fantastic. Thanks for the mini trip up the mountain too!
Are you going to do more islands for this project!! I love your new ideas mate!!
Will you provide a video of the exhibition? This is so amazing. Looking forward to the full pirate buildout.
The island alone is so impressive considering how you take bricks and turn them into something so organic!
the net building technique is so good for terrain - but very expensive...it's great for water effects!
