Legostone Posted February 26, 2017 A Marderian Businessman, who had just secretly started to discuss taking over several ships from a pirate lord, was walking through the dark back streets in King's Port, wanting to tell the authorities about his current progress in the discussion. Unluckily for him, the conversation was overheard by a Garvian Spy who sent out an Assassin right then and there. If he would succeed, it may be possible to take over the discussion with the pirate lord and get the ships for the Garvian fleet. So, here we are. A dark backstreet in King's Port. Waiting on the roof of one of the buildings, the assassin notices movement. As the man fits his description, he silently moves off the roof. ...he jumps... ...and staps the Marderian right into his back. Nobody will be surprised if he will be found in this state - after all, he was talking to a dangerous pirate lord, who would be surprised about his end?

Ayrlego Posted February 27, 2017 Nice texturing on the houses, the action shots are also well done. Great entry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaiju Posted February 27, 2017 Hmm... black suit... monacle... twirly moustache. Clearly this man was up to no good. And nice work on the mid-leap shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted February 28, 2017 Nice job on the buildings. My favorite shot is the mid air shot. Great job on connecting the assassin to the building but yet making him look like he is unattached. What happened to his hand though? Did he lose it jumping out of buildings with knives?

Bregir Posted March 2, 2017 Nice to see you building something land based, for once, LS! I like the two houses, with their nicely subdued colourscheme. The greenish one is my favourite, and I think the white/tan one could do with a bit more work to make the walls look better, but overall, good work. I like the protruding beams, and the choice of windows are nice too. The story is good too! Your pictures seems a bit yellowish, so perhaps a bit more work on lighting would be useful? Perhaps it is time for you to try your hand more on shore? (At least then, the rest of us get a chance to keep up with your shipyards! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(At least then, the rest of us get a chance to keep up with your shipyards! ) You are forgetting I have a 28 34 DB monthly income from my land based builds:P My intention with the walls was a rough look, especially on the white one. And I don't think I've ever actually built houses in this style before, so I'm sure I can improve. Picture quality - I need to buy another desk lamp then:P Hmmm, not sure if that is a good idea My preference in building is certainly with the ships and boats, and land based stuff is just not as exciting. But I guess once upkeep gets added I'll have to get some land based stuff built up... Thanks to everyone who commented as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 4, 2017 I spot a current MOC-tendency for "falling assassins". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted March 18, 2017 I like the old weathered look of the two buildings and the colors are nice. The two minifigs both look the part, but I must say these leaping assassins are major risk-takers: one wrong move, and they'd be falling to their own deaths! Keep the land builds coming (and the ships too). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is indeed a risky move - but I guess if they succeed it is well worth it:P I think I'll remain with my ships (at least mostly:P) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
