Capt Wolf Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Operation KMA was going well. Eslandolan forces landed on Isla de Victoria with no resistance, and Capitan Alonzo and his men had found an excellent location on the large bay on the south side of the island. Construction of a fort commenced in earnest on a flat hilltop overlooking the bay. “This will be a strong gun position” thought Alonzo, “and should protect the settlement and anchorage and command the bay.” Alonzo's second-in-command had nothing but good news in his afternoon report. Troops were cutting down trees all over the place, even still clearing the land for the fort. One palisade wall was up, and the troops were already busy digging the holes for the next wall. Work had not yet begun on the corner bastion, but the cannon was still useful in its current position. The men would be happy that the barracks were finally finished (just finishing up with a coat of whitewash), so his men would not have to camp in tents tonight. Things were progressing quickly, and morale was high. Capitan Alonzo was certain the fort would be completed in record time.

Kai NRG Posted September 29, 2016 Great job showing them we mean business! The building in the process of being whitewashed is pretty ingenious and I really like the palm trees in the background! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted September 30, 2016 Great fort, as mentioned the whitewashing is a good touch. Things are definitely starting to happen in the brick seas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Wolf Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks to everyone for the comments. I take it the idea of having the barracks in the process of being whitewashed is a hit. FYI, the full fort should be done within a day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted October 1, 2016 Cant wait for the full fort then! The whitewashing idea is indeed marvelous btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elostirion Posted October 8, 2016 Why haven't I commented here? Fantastic work, and that colouring of the wood is brilliantly clever. Nice display of activity going on, and just a great flair overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted October 8, 2016 Really an awesome build, Capt. Wolf, the walls being white-washed was a brilliant idea and perfectly executed, and the palm trees, palisade, and cannonball stack are just a few more of the great details! The flagpole and guys cutting down the trees are very neat as well - great way to build up Fuerte Unido! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
