My first free build in forever. These pirate style mocs are really growing on me.

Really cool! Are the brown bars just sitting on top of those bridges? I can imagine that it must have been very hard to set that all up for photography without knocking them down constantly. Also, how is the circular platform on top of the rock constructed?

This is amazing! It just looks so much like a classic pirate island, I love it!

To follow on from Bruce's point, are all those 1x2 trans blue tiles placed, not attached, down? I was about to say you must be very patient, but then I remembered cheese month, and I've already seen that that's true!
For the Glory of Loreos!

That is lovely! Brings back so much of the classic Pirate mood, while using new and interesting techniques.
