stede's cabin so far.

today's accomplishment was the primary wardrobe, with functional doors and mirror!

the auxiliary wardrobe door also opens!

[ourflagmeanslegos]

i feel like i've just found my new best friend!

[ourflagmeanslegos]

hey y'all i need some kind of outside inspiration to kick my ass into gear on this blog, so if you have any lego challenges for me, please leave 'em in my inbox!!

[ourflagmeanslegos]

i'll never leave you. i'll never leave again.

[ourflagmeanslegos]

you were going to stab me! in the eah hole! with a SKEWAH!

[ourflagmeanslegos]

according to the map, there are snakes in this area, so... just be careful.

idk if Lego legs are individually removable (I’m sure feet aren’t) but if they are I think Ed should take one of Izzy’s

i did mention in my "meet the crew" post that i had something special in store for him for s2 ;)

[ourflagmeanslegos]

do they make plain-yellow minifig bodies? Bc that may be the most appropriate buttons

i have a couple of plain yellow torsos but i still want to get my hands on yellow legs. for now buttons will have to moonbathe with some white pants

[ourflagmeanslegos]

i am not a professional lego artist and this is all just for fun! legos are a special interest of mine and i've had a great time so far of making all the blorbos and putting them in Situations.

feel free to leave requests for scenes to recreate in my ask box! i can't promise that they'll be any good—it really depends on what pieces i happen to have—but i'll try my best!

pics of everyone individually under the cut!

lucius

our favorite scribe, holding a notebook and quill so he can keep track of all the takes! (<- that was a typo from "tales" but tbh i like "takes" better.)

stede

looking prim and proper with his little teacup. this is actually more like his s2 hair, and i'm looking forward to updating him with some new clothes, since i'm not a huge fan of the outfit i was able to put together.

ed

i love his little beard so much and it's a shame it will not be forever. we can always look at the old pics, though. his little one-armed jacket is so fun and i wish i had the fine motor skills to give him some tattoos.

izzy

pretty sure this is the angriest face i own lol. i love his one glove, i think that's a nice touch. i also have an update ready for him for s2 ;)

buttons

i do not have a "balding on top" hair unfortunately, but i was lucky enough to find a seagull at a lego convention earlier this year, where i also found a number of other pieces for this project.

jim

complete with knife, of course, and featuring optional hat. best shirt i could find has an ammo belt though lol.

oluwande

my beloved. comes with or without orange hat, which i also found at that convention.

frenchie

speaking of things i found at the convention, A LUTE!! before i got that, he had a fucking electric guitar because that was the closest i had lmao.

the swede

i know his shirt is totally the wrong color but it was the closest i had in terms of design. he's got some orange juice too, so he doesn't lose any more teeth.

roach

wish i had a butcher knife or something, but instead he has a lovely pie.

black pete

i don't have much to say about him lol. he is bald and silly.

wee john

of course i had to give him FIRE. also i love this head's facial hair for him. it came with a pirate ship set i got recently, as did this shirt.

mary

she is ready to paint and to murder her husband. i love this hairstyle for her, even if it's a bit lighter than real mary's hair.

evelyn

was very happy to find a feminine face with an eyepatch at the convention, and it's even on the correct eye! i wanted to give her maroon sleeves too but the only shirts i had with that color sleeves broke when i tried to remove the arms lol. they were from a harry potter set i got over a decade ago though so i don't care <3

fang

i love his jacket, even though it's not quite accurate for him. and you know i HAD to give him a dog, he deserves it goddamnit.

ivan

i LOVE this hair i was able to find for him, and the surprisingly accurate shirt that i happened to already have.

calico jack

my garbage boy <3 i had this whip from an indiana jones set, and i found the bottle at the convention. i wasn't originally planning on making him but when i came across this face i knew i had to.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

since race is such a central element of ofmd, this needs to be addressed.

it's unfortunate that this is the case, but generic lego minifigures have zero variation in skin tone.

the goal of this project was to make everyone with mostly just pieces i already owned. i don't have the budget to track down custom minifigs, nor do i have the skill level required to customize any myself.

i apologize for this. i've decided to carry on with this project despite its limitations, though.

(the same principle applies to variation in body type as well.)
