THE STORY

Madriguera is the home of the outcasts. Magriguera is family. Everyone knows their roles. Rum flows abundantly in the bar. Another successful raid is over. The sharing of the spoils follows. No prisoners this time. The crabs in the cell will have to wait. The captain in his room never gets complacent. New plans for the future are just around the corner. A great expedition is being prepared. For better days ahead.

DESCRIPTION

The construction consists of the east and west side. On the eastern side one can find the black bastion, the battlement with the front cannon and the old wooden bridge that connects this side with the main building. The black bastion stands on a rock - crypt. The crypt opens to reveal the secret cave where the captain keeps his most valuable loot. Under the bridge a natural harbor serves to receive the catch or supplies. Walking through the marina to the western side one shall pass the wooden pier, the crab cell and the low pier leading to the hidden cannon ( right under the bar’s balcony among the palm trees).

The main building consists of the bar with an external balcony, the captain's room and the roof (under which is a storage attic for barrels or everyday items). The captain’s room can be reached directly from the bar via an external spiral staircase. The whole building is built on a natural cave that serves as a burrow for excursions or as a natural hiding place for treasures or valuable loot. The cave is connected by stairs to the marina.

This is a fully 360° playable build. All areas are easy accessible. The bar, the captain's room and the roof (revealing the storage attic) open above for easy play and comfortable use of the interior spaces. This set includes also 8 figures, a skeleton, 2 boats,small animals (a mouse, crabs, birds , parrots), a monkey and a white shark.

INSPIRATION

The reason for this project was my endless hours of playing as a child with all those aesthetically unsurpassed classic lego pirate sets from almost four decades ago. Now as an adult, I wanted to present something that stemmed from all that atmosphere of my childhood. The result of my efforts is "Madriguera". I really hope you like it.

Thank you!
