Microscale Pirate Ship

Name of Model: Pirate Ship

Created by: Moko (for our readers that understand written Japanese: his blog)

Details: This beautiful microscale pirate ship features a number of unusual details. Note the binoculars used for cannons, and the way that plates are only loosely attached to form sales. A number of studs-not-on-top effects are used to add details to the ship's sides. Even the normally innocuous tubes on the bottom of plates are used for details - get a load of the way the rope ladders that lead to the sails are made. If you've been following any of the other LEGO blogs out there, then you probably already know about this model and a few other brilliant models done by Moko. It should suffice to say that Moko is a genius and a browse through his/her Brickshelf gallery will be rather enjoyable, if you have the time for it.
