This beautifully crafted model and throwback to the LEGO classics was originally submitted by Pablo Sánchez (a.k.a. Bricky_Brick) from Spain. You can learn more about Pablo in his earlier 10K Club Interview.

To help turn Pablo's vision into a real life LEGO set, LEGO Designer Milan Madge collaborated with Graphic Designer Austin Carlson. And the outcome is a unique blast from the past with a modern twist fit for any pirate!
