Mesabi Posted July 17, 2017 With both WTC ships anchored off the coast of Argentia, Count Mesabi, and his loyal WTC marines rowed their way to the Isle. Landing by North White, on Flickr "Today, Men, is a great day," Said the Count. Landing by North White, on Flickr "Today is the day that we found the city of Mesabi Landing, home of the Wayfarer Trading Company, soon to be..." Mesabi was cut off. "Wait, you're naming the town after yourself?" Asked Darby "Well, not myself, after the Mesabi line." answered Count Mesabi "Same Difference." Replied Darby "Look, Arlinsport, Elyzabethville, Hussar's Isle, King's Harbour, Mooreton Bay, Port Raleigh, Stormhaven, and Quinsville all were named after people, why shouldn't I partake in the fun? After all, I am a count." Said Count Mesabi "Oh for Zeus's sake, would you stop bringing that up? and I don't think Stormhaven is named after a person." said Darby "Oh course it was, Stormhaven was once a haven for a person named Storm, that's why it's called that!" "I really don't think..." "I mean, who would want a haven for literal storms, that place would be awful." "No, it's a haven from storms." "Oh." The boats crashed against the surf and Count Mesabi leaped out. Landing by North White, on Flickr The wreckage of a ship and several corpses sat on the beach. "Huh, no crabs with hats. I'm a little disappointed." Muttered Count Mesabi The Troops set off into the interior of the Island, wondering exactly what might be on the mysterious isle.

Bodi Posted July 17, 2017 Nice scene Mesabi, I like the shipwreck built with the arch bricks, and the baseplate and palm trees, shame we can't find them anymore in newer sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted July 17, 2017 Nice use of that baseplate. The scattered debris is a nice touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilentWolf Posted July 19, 2017 I like that you have found so many uses for that baseplate. It once again works well and the wreck on the shore is nicely done. I like the crab as animals are always a plus. Though I am surprised he didn't have a hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
