Pirate System Forbidden Island - 6270

A micro-scale ode to my favorite pirate set of all time — Forbidden Island. With a delightfully hodgepodge of unique elements like the stairs, bridge, rigging, prison cell, and everyone's favorite monkey, this set was a blast to play with. So much potential for stories!

I really enjoyed translating this classic set into micro-scale — attempting to apply as much NPU (neat part usage) as possible to reference the signature elements of the set. My favorite solutions for the build are: the monkey (a tooth, a round plate, and a minifigure hand), the parrot (the always versatile LEGO frog), the rigging (a pitchfork), and the pirate flags (a modified plate with clip, and a white flower for the main flag, and then a round tile with a bone print for the mini flag on the rowboat).
