Kyle84 has recently sailed into the LEGO Pirates Forum and he’s wasted no time impressing us with his digital ship builds! The “HMS Surprise” is a sleek Imperial Guard vessel armed to the hatches with 20 ferocious cannons and a sizeable, but capable crew.
Move aside, Soldiers and Imperial Armada or you’ll receive a nasty surprise!
