More MOCs for the Jolly Roger Contest!
Nelson 25 II 10
There be still a few weeks to go in the Jolly Roger Contest, and the entries keep rolling in like the tide! Featured above is a MOC by Forbidden Cove member Piglet, entitled Forgotten Soldier.
As a fair and friendly reminder, all Jolly Roger Contest entries must be accompanied by an announcement post in our
Pirate MOC forum. So, please be sure to post there, lest yer entry be thrown overboard (and disqualified)!
Also, Cove members who use Flickr as their image host may also elect to post their contest entries in our Forbidden Cove Flickr group, if they wish. No sense in letting your hard work
for the JRC go unnoticed!
