[COR COOP] Celebrating Queen Annettas Birthday

[Darnok]

Cheer all ye minifigs, for we are celebrating the birthday of Queen Annetta, the anniversary of Her first assembly!

In honour of this most joyful event, every year in the days and weeks after the autumn equinox, celebrations and parades are held. In settlements all over the homeland and the colonies minifigs come together and revel. Those living near the Queens palace might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her, if she is watching the main parade from a balcony high above:

 

The festivities are happening in most of the settlements in the Brick Seas under Corringtons rule.

Here we see the parade in Quinnsville:

 

 

Against the backdrop of the typical stucco style building found in Port Woodhouse, Corlander Grenadiers from the garrison march in honour of Her Majesty.

 

 

With a stone foundation and colourful timber upper floor, Corlander Light Infantry and ETTC Sepoys march through the well developed streets of Jameston.

 

 

Elevated on a boardwalk over the shallows of one of the many rivulets surrounding Camp Isaac, Royal Pioneers with their distinctive blue trousers wait stationary for the parade to begin. Residences watch from the wooden houses constructed on the banks. 

 

Corlander Line Infantry march past the sandstone buildings of Mooreton Bay. The influx of Mardierian refugees to nearby New Haven has also made it's mark on Mooreton Bay with a much more Mardieran style being noted recently in the settlement.

 

Queen's Own Hussar's mounted on local horses led the parade in Elizabethville, followed by local militia in their distinctive red trousers. The village like feel of the settlement is reflected in the inn which they are currently marching past.

 

 

In Port Raleigh, starting in the docks, Royal Marines led and are followed by local militia in their distinctive brown tricornes. Outside of the Lotii district, the buildings of Port Raleigh mostly have an old world feel - not surprising as Port Raleigh was both the first Corlander settlement and is the western most in Terra Nova if you do not include Arlinsport (which pre-dates the exploration era).

====================

 

This is a cooperation open to all Corrington players, intended to represent the birthday celebrations of the Queen. Here is how you can participate:

1. Build a scene showing the citizens of Corrington celebrating the Queens birthday in whatever way you want to.
2. Start a thread showing your build, and tell a story of the festivities.
3. Post here with a link to your thread...
4. ... so I can edit this OP accordingly, including your scene among all others.

Additionally, if you want to build your scene as part of the GoC initiative, you can then also post a link to your thread over there. Which category is the best fit for your build is a decision that highly depends on its details - many of them could fit though, get creative!

If, for whatever reasons, your build has been posted here, yet not included in the OP after a few days: please send me a PM and I will sort it out as soon as possible.

Enjoy the builds and stories, and all hail Queen Annetta and the Crown of Corrington!
