Maxim I Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Participants: Maxim I (ESL), TitusV (ESL), Tomsche (COR), Sebeus (OLE), LJ Hornblower (Nat), Peter G. (Pirates) Story 1: Flotilla In Need On a chilly morning, Lord Damaximus and his fiancee Margot, Lady Elysabeth and Lord Smaugton were doing business in Quinsville. After talking recent politics and the death of King Stephan of Oleon, the Eslandolans boarded their ships and set sail. The Purple Rain and Golden Star headed for Elysabethtown to take in provision for their further voyage. The ship passed some of the newly discovered islands (especially the one with the cannibals was interesting)... The so peacefull voyage stopped abruptly when the two shipped crossed the "Beatrix" and "Pegasus", both ships under command of promising Oleon admiral Sebeus. Out of the blue, the Beatrix started firing at the Purple Rain.... Luckily for the "Purple Rain" and "Golden Star", the Eslandolan flagship "Margot" set sail out of Elysabethtown... The moment the crew of "Beatrix" saw the "Margot" getting near, they stopped their fire and tried to flee ... Together with the "Margot", the Eslandolan flotilla managed to arrive safely in Elysabethtown... Story 2: The Arise of Pirate Captain Sebeus Back in his young days, Sebeus dreamed of being the greatest Oleon admiral ever. As a young kid, he always played with wooden ships and knew the tricks of sailing better than most so called captains... His talents didn't remain unknown, and he was spotted by the high admirallity of Oleon. King Stephan himself took care of the boy and tought him everything he knew. Due the many hours spent together, Sebeus saw King Stephan as his Godfather. So the moment King Stephan died due to a mysterious reason, Sebeus felt betrayed by his Oleon brothers and went rogue. He took the "Beatrix", the ship he was promised to command one day and together with the "Pegasus", they set sail to the unknown. The first vessels they came across were flying the "Eslandolan flag". 'Perfect' Sebeus thought as he had heard the rumours of the Eslandolan King claiming the Oleon throne. After the first salvo, someone was suddenly yelling "Margot". Sebeus got a chill. Even with the "Beatrix", he had was match against the pride of Terra Versa, so he ordered to stop firing and set sail again. He also knew he would not be welcome in Oleon's society anymore. And thus he started the legend of Captain Sebeus, the new terror of the Brickseas... [OOC] as many have noticed, real life Sebeus is not that active anymore due to real life. Still, he was very surprised to hear the King of Oleon had died as it was named after him and he set up Oleon. As he will still be too busy the upcomming months, he proposed to become a NPC pirate captain (like Bloody Bill for example). He hopes to get amnesty when he has building time again... So at Ska, you got a new Pirate Captain to add in the next MRCA!!! Story 3: The revenge on an Oleon Trader Not long after the previous events, a group of Eslandolans managed to sneak by a small Oleon Trade ship and captured it. The moment they went aboard, the Oleon cowards surrendered. [OOC] we asked first permission if we may capture the ship. Yes Tomsche, we Eslandolans first ask if we MAY capture a ship instead of just capturing it.... The BoBS lay-out at Brickmania Wetteren 2016 I hope you enjoyed the pictures!! It was a very nice weekend! Next Brickmania Bobs Lay-out: Limburg (Belgium) 27 & 28 august. More BoBS lay-outs can be found here Edited April 12, 2016 by kabel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capn Frank Posted April 10, 2016 Great layout! The splash from cannon fire is a great idea. I'm going to have to steal that idea. Thanks for sharing and showing off Pirate Lego and BoBS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolonialbeamter Posted April 11, 2016 This is one awesome layout Great recruitment drive for BoBS, I suppose You guys must have had some tremedous fun To be clear, and before any rumors arise, Captain Sebeus' true home will always be Oleon. It'd be cool if someone could forward this message to him, as he is operating in uncharted waters. There's no reason to ask for amnesty, as he has always been and will ever be welcome amongst our ranks. Real life can sometimes get in the way of what really matters in life - plastic - but that will pass, and Lego will remain. We hope to see you soon back home in Oleon, Captain Sebeus! For now, good hunting... just, please don't confuse green with blue flags! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxim I Posted April 11, 2016 My Brick Mania Wetteren 2016 event report http://tomsche69.blogspot.be/2016/04/brick-mania-wetteren-2016-lego.html Hahaha, great job! Some general notes: - Margot was transported in one piece and she survived the transport twice - for Antwerp, I'll have a lay-out plan. Not everyone appreciates my "we'll see what we do when we are there" approach :p especially not because I was a little late in set-up hahaha :p - I promise also to have dustfree ships in Antwerp :p - Margot has moved in the lay-out to every corner, without collapsing masts. The ships of Sebeus were labelled as "can't touch this" :p - I still think purple is a nice colour for a ship... Haters gonnna keep hating :p - the animals of Sebeus (yes they were magnificent) don't like minifigs... It was ofcourse a nice opportunity for us to put a minifig on his island every time Sebeus wasn't watching :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not everyone appreciates my "we'll see what we do when we are there" approach :p especially not because I was a little late in set-up hahaha :p You? A plan? Now I'm curious - I promise also to have dustfree ships in Antwerp :p - Margot has moved in the lay-out to every corner, without collapsing masts. The ships of Sebeus were labelled as "can't touch this" :p - I still think purple is a nice colour for a ship... Haters gonnna keep hating :p But even Margot said IT was "special", with the intonation not very positive - the animals of Sebeus (yes they were magnificent) don't like minifigs... It was ofcourse a nice opportunity for us to put a minifig on his island every time Sebeus wasn't watching :p That part was indeed lovely, especially when my moose jumped in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted April 11, 2016 More publicity is better publicity! Nice to see BoBS represented! *throws handsigns* I am quite surprised such a distinguished Olean Hero goes rogue though! As to transport of vessels... I had to transport two vessels 300 meter by car. It went fine until I had to unload them and accidently hit the bowsprit of one of them on some furniture... Well, lets just say I got to practice re-rigging! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebeus I Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Appearently I've been up to something. The part about me is a bit exaggerated to say the least . The Beatrix on a killing rage, sounds terrifying. Nice post Maxim, don't worry I'll be back someday to set things right . Edited April 24, 2016 by Sebeus I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
