Tezclatipoca Posted September 29, 2016 Applying the new orders. Felipe de la Manzana and Basil landed in time in Isla de Victoria, also known as Skaford heighs. Felipe immediately sent a team to gather the ressources needed to develop an armed settlement. He explained Basil the contents of the new orders he received before : - Did you understand well our new orders, Basil ? - Yes, Sir ! Of course. We received an important message from the Crown relayed by the 3 Trade Companies that's giving power to Jerome Monezterell and to el Capitan Alonzo to Kapture Mardier's Assets and Kill Mardier's Army in the island we are claiming as Isla de Victoria. We have been asked to support the war effort by providing supplies of all kind in the camp named Fuerte Unido and develop it to a strong settlement. - Yes, Basil, you got it. But I thought KMA meant Kick Mardier's... Assets. Well, the name of this operation is not important. The top priority of our teams is to gather wood and food. - Our team...S... ? - Yes ! I sent the Pineapple revenge from Prio to this island to find food and try to contact the natives we heard rumors of. - Oh ! I see, Senor de la Manzana, you involved many of our troops in here. - Yes ! I hope this natives could help me to progress on my Quest, and cutting down some jungle is always a pleasure... Saying that Felipe and Basil started to supervise the lumberjack team near Fuerte Unido. The team was already at work and many trees have been cut down to provide the camp the necessary wood to build. The carts were doing deliveries at regular speed and the first buildings were already up. Some Ténotclaxcan men were now well integrated in the crew and were helping the team. Of course, there is always some lazy guys that prefer to sit and eat some delicious apple instead of working... This build is part of the KMA project lead by the Eslandola team. This is the continuation of the official war we declare to Mardier. More to come soon... Of course, C & Cs are welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted September 29, 2016 Very nice and effective build! I like all the trees, good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted September 29, 2016 Very nice lumberjack scene, I really like the way you've used both brown and dark brown on the trunks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted September 29, 2016 Excellent scene! I like how you have used several different pieces and colors for the tree trunks (brown and dark brown, palm tree segments and round bricks, tan plates for the ends of cut trunks). And the horse-drawn cart taking the logs to where they are needed completes the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stig Posted September 29, 2016 Fun that you try out different tree techniques. As long as you got wood, you're good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted September 29, 2016 The action/minifigire posing and the variety of lumber are my favorite parts of this build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted September 29, 2016 If they are lumberjacks then they're ok. They sleep all night and they work all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezclatipoca Posted September 29, 2016 Thank you very much to all of you ! I am happy to see you like my different tree techniques and the variations on the trunk colours I made. Thank you Captain Braunsfeld.... The song will never go away now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostone Posted September 29, 2016 Great build! But why are you burning the wood in a place where you are collecting it?@Captain Braunsfeld That song gives me ideas... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are burning useless parts like too little sticks and all the foliage. The best parts, trunks and bigger branches, are charged onto the cart for deliveries.

Garmadon Posted October 6, 2016 Very nice scene, Faladrin, the different colors and kinds of trunks look great, and the carriage and minifig activity is great as well! The guy sawing and the other guy burning wood are some of my favorite details - and, of course, it's great to see an apple as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
