Month completed: January 2008

Here it is - my big Lego achievement. In fact, it is my big Megabloks achievement, but that’s much of a muchness, because Megabloks is just like Lego, but looks more realistic and less like a bunch of blocks put together. It is the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow’s ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise*.

Nat gave it to me for Christmas, and I couldn’t wait to get started. Unfortunately it took only a few hours to complete and wasn’t too difficult, but what it has done (besides looking awesome) is that it has given me the appetite for more Lego and Megabloks projects.

The only problem I have is trying to find room in a one-bedroom apartment to put all of my future masterpieces!

* The painting behind the ship is one of the beach that I did a while ago. Works in well with the pirate theme I reckon (I am such a geek!).
