My largest labor of Lego-love yet ... I give you my Pirate Isle Finale, completed in 2010. This hidden island of precious yellow stone makes a great pirate hideaway, including a treasure cave that I hope to someday light with hanging crystals.

This island spans 40" long by 30" wide, and mountain peak is 21" without the crows nest.
All bricks are Lego or Duplo.

In the past this thread was really long due to the tons of photos I had linked ... covering the different phases as I built. If there's enough interest I can provide links to them.

Enjoy!

Yay! It's back and more awesome than before.

lol ... thanks

Really nice MOC! Love the detail in the water.

Is that your hand?

Wow! I'm going to have to check out all the pictures! Looks Awesome!!

EDIT: I"m a Pit Pounder now

This is pretty epic MC. Puts my moc I was gonna post to shame :P. I love that water detailing, and the cave.

P.S. You cheater! You used Duplo! Well I guess im a cheater too because I use them. O_O

That's really incredible... This is also the first MOC I've seen that combined DUPLO and LEGO bricks... Didn't turn out too bad, if I may say so.

Thanks!

K97: yes, my hand

jakeywakey: I'm sure yours is great too, be sure to post it!!

HT: Yes, its a combo of duplo and lego ... actually the first build I've done that way. I'm pleased with how it turned out. The idea to use the mix was from Ddbird215.

My fav parts are the water and all of the plant life ... love those BF 'shrooms!!!

Cool! I like how you incorporated duplo bricks into it, I never see anyone do that.

I've never seen that either... the DUPLO/Lego combo. I didnt think you could mix them until I borrowed one of my nephews DUPLO blocks and connected some of my Legos with it.
