LEGO: Secret of Monkey Island

by Henrik (14/01/11) Email

"LeChuck is at it again. After having kidnapped Elaine and leaving Guybrush Threepwood to die on a deserted island, he is sailing the seas to find the perfect place to marry Elaine on. But luck was on Guybrush's side. After having solved a series of puzzles and tasks he got the island's monkeys to build him a ship."

Secret of Monkey Island

This is a LEGO creation I thought up when I was thinking about doing something fun the the small boat pieces. While thinking if I could make a small sail boat with them I came to the thought that small ships would fit nicely in a Secret of Monkey Island MOC.

The most fun part for me when building this set was that I had all the pieces I wanted. It feel good to now have a decent amount of LEGO bricks. Only one piece had to be made by myself, the sail. I made a black and white paper copy of a sail that came with "Brickbeard's Bounty" and cut it down to fit the size of the boat.

While photographing Simpson, he decided to move to a new place and I though it would be fitting to separate the photos based on the move.

Tiger Temple

I still have plenty of pictures from my Thailand/Cambodia trip to show and I'm no way near the end of posting them. This time I'm posting my pictures from our visit to the Tiger Temple with Tigers. I have to add "with Tigers" because I was told there are many temples called "Tiger Temple", but this one is the only one with real tigers. The trip to the temple was something I planed in advance because I had seen photos from it were people were petting the tigers. I really wanted my own chance at petting a tiger. The photos I had seen before the trip from the Temple, made it seem like the tigers were awake and free roaming when you meet them. In reality they were chained and asleep. I was told they were sleeping because they are nocturnal, but after goggling the temple I found allegations claiming the animals are in fact drugged to allow tourist to get near them.
