Reinterpreting LEGO Pirate sets is a common inspiration for MOCers. It allows them to dive deep into their nostalgia while reinvigorating old designs with newer parts and colours.
MyFirstMOC has long since departed from the eponym of his name by digitally building a variety of LEGO Pirate MOCs. Starting with Imperial builds like the Fort Hunyadi but recently graduating to remastering the classics.
6260 Shipwreck Island is the third official set to receive a digital makeover and as you can see it’s brimming with detail and colour!
It retains all the charm of the original but introduces many new features

I put out a small vote yesterday that featured a redesigned version of the 6260 set with two types of backgrounds and a few element differences. The majority voted for each picture. But I like the version in picture two better. You can see these two versions a little bigger now because you couldn’t see every detail in the story
They must have been here for a while for all that luscious vegetation to grow
Notable additions include an anchor, some (empty) bottles of rum, crates (also empty) and fish they’ve somehow caught
Around the side we learn there were a couple more shipmates who didn’t quite make it…
Around the other size we get a better look of the upgraded cannon enclosure

Shipwreck Island… laden with use parts… ripe for the taking by the Imperial Armada!
Upon closer inspection…
So if the map is stashed with the treasure – how is anyone supposed to find the treasure?
We hope one day, Captain Redbeard sails by to rescue these port scallywags

The front Box Art for 6260 Shipwrecked Island
6260 Shipwrecked Island was one of the original LEGO Pirate sets in the initial wave released during 1989.
Along with 6270 Forbidden Island and 6235 Buried Treasure, it was the middle-sized island based set. Well, until 1991 when the even larger 6273 Rock Island Refuge was introduced.
It remained in production for a few years and was replaced by 6259 Palm Hideout in 1992.
