Skull Island logo
Finally done! Took nearly twice as much time as I originally thought - around 4 looong months, sometimes felt like eternity -, nonetheless here it goes.
Sorry about the kitschy intro/logo, but wanted to make something special for this occasion - and with my very limited photoshop skills I guess I've reached the ceiling(:
The story behind: when I was a kid my favourite theme was Pirates, so once I became an adult - and was finally able to self-finance my old hobby - first I began to collect these old sets. (Thanks to my good friend Ferenc and his wife to surprise me with Queen Ann's Revenge, which was the actual trigger for this whole thing.) Started with the mighty pirate ships then continuing with the rest (impulse sets, blue- and redcoats, islanders, so really all of them), under like 1,5 years I've collected every little set that came out as Pirates I (except 6250, which is... oh my my, the unfamous and underestimated diamond of the full series - at least for me). Because of the life-long love for these sea-guys and their stories, once I started to build MOCs I immediately wanted to create a huge and cool Pirates-diorama. But with my limited skills and pieces it took some years to get it like - well, more or less - I always imagined.
So here it goes; hope you gonna have as much fun&joy checking the result as I had during its creation.
(Still working on the photos of the Pirates' phase, so that half comes a bit later.)
