I' won't tell you more (at least not at the moment). Let the creation speak for itself.

PS. No, really I did not see this part of Pirates of Carribean :-)

Excellent!
Your pics are nice and crisp. :wink:
I love the structure of the boat and the fact that you went with a brick built hull instead of using pre-fab hull pieces.
Leaving spaces in the water surface to make it appear that the barrels and chest are partially submerged was a nice detail.
I also liked the way you made the tears in the sail, very ingenious!
The best feature of this moc are the poses of the figs. They really make the moc come alive.

I think you'll do well in the contest!

oh noes ... fantasy elements in the Journey catagory! The universe is going to split usunder! /jokes

This is an excellent reason why a little fantasy is a good thing. Awesome ship! I especially like the ripped sail & protruding tentacle. Great work, Marcin.

The idea is not uncommon, but how you realized the work is absolutely fantastic. I fully agree with Aaron, strictly sticking to the rules you may be out, but a little bit of fantasy is necessary. For my part I would love to see more. Simply excellent work. 8)

That is so, so cool! I love the brick-built sail, the ribbed structure, the SNOTwork, and the placement of the minifigs. The photography is excellent as well. Absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful MOC! I love the brick-built hull, and all the little details like the barrels and chest at angles to the water, just like they should be. Also, I love the presentation of your MOCs, they are always very well photographed!

I really like the brick-built hull. I also like the overall layout of the moc. Very cool.

It certainly has a lot to like about it, but my favourite element has to be the brick and tile ship hull - very clever.

returning back from work, I sat down and looked at the pics at Brickshelf more thoroughly. Well for my part I would say this is a masterpiece, deserving full credit. Very inspiring indeed. I already liked the techniques used for the bakery, but this is wow! Thanks for posing many detailed descriptions at brickshelf.

You've done a very good job adding the chaotic feel to this MOC. It's definitely an original idea, and one that you've executed with the highest quality. Great work!

First of, this looks great. I really like it jsut for that. Ther are details everywhere, and I really enjoyed just looking at it. Then I say that the ship is completely brick built. Ohh, now I love it!

Thank you for your comments. I have added a "MakingOf" gallery, so you can track the evolution of the construction. Picture is a link:

Wow, I thought I commented on this yesterday...Hmm...

Well anyways this is one fantastic MOC!!! It most certainly raises the bar for everyone here. Everything from the barrels tilted in the water, to the boat itself, to the way the boat is tilted, to the fig posing, to the 'rips' in the sail (my absolute favorite detail!!!).

Everything is brilliant!!! (I only have one SMALL gripe. That's that the water isn't moving around enough, but maybe the creature is just slimy enough not to disturb the surface much...)

Again, this is most certainly a masterpiece!!!

That sail looks a lot better than most brick-built sails I've seen. I also like the non-square baseplate.
