Ninja weaponery

I missed a good ninja MOC but Aaron filled that gap by presenting a nice set of ninja weapons. I’m not sure about the real scale, but I would say that they fit between half and full-size comparing to real ones.

You may see the original picture here.

Just a quick footnote, ninjas were in fact mercenaries of feudal Japan that became very popular in the USA and Europe culture at the XX century.

Celebrating Victory

This post is an antithesis of the previous. While the previous post shows the victory of the red coats when they capture the pirate leader, this one shows when pirates celebrate after a successful pillage.

The following MOC is a construction of our know builder Piglet. As usual he presents a scene with very cool minifig situations and a lot of details. I really liked the idea of the giant barrel.

Brickbaron made a nice town of Discovery Age, where he shows the gathering of a crowd to see the last standing moments of a infamous captain pirate and his reign of terror.

Micro Eldorado Fortress

Pellaeon revisited the old classic pirates theme and built a micro version of the Eldorado Fortress. This is one of my favorite LEGO fortresses and it’s the second time I blog about this set

The Untouchables, Prohibition

Kris Kelvin built a great MOC of Eliot Ness and is companions during the law of alcohol prohibition. Eliot Ness was a Federal Agent and lead the team that help chasing Al Capone.

The MOC follows the style of LEGO modular buildings but with better details. The box is nice bonus

Lexington battle

Quoting The Brothers Bricks, it’s quite unusual to find MOCs of American history beside the Wild West. Blego7 brings us an exception with this representation of Lexington battle during the Revolutionary War.

The fate of Atlantis

Atlantis is a legend on human history and Chris Phipson represented the last moments of the city with this simple but yet interesting MOC.

Slavery on South of America

The Brothers Brick found in The Brick Testament this interesting picture of slavery on South of America prior to Civil War.

I’ll not discuss here the related passage of the Bible, but I confess that it surprised me (unless I understood it wrong).

Grimmhavn

Grimmhavn look like a very nice place to live behind those strong walls during middle ages. Mr. Brick built a magnificent castle with an incredible detailed wall and a busy village inside.

You must take a look on the other photos at his gallery.
