Plantation: Large

In the first coffee plantation in Tortuga is currently harvesting. Coffee beans are mainly sold to the Sea Rats. Others can buy it for a modest surcharge.

The coffee that is made from it is not just a luxury item. With the high caffeine content, it also serves as a stimulant.

Looks good @NOD, and I appreciate the consistency in the plants, especially having it each such a large size. The plants and figure posing looks good as well. 

It could use more substance though. I'd like to see some paths, dirt or stone, maybe a carriage, or some outbuildings. As is, this is kinda just a build of the farm, with only the farmers and plants. While it looks decent, It could really use something to break it up, or to look more interesting. Just some thoughts for the next one. 

That being said, for the 'nature' section of a plantation, it looks pretty decent.

Wow, first question where do you get all this lovely plants ? This is not the design of the 3 leaved original bamboo lego one, so I'm interested !

I second Mesabi for the other comments.

One exception however : you used fleshy figs, what a pity !

Spoiler

just kidding !

Thanks for the compliments.

You're right. Unfortunately, I don't have any bricks for stones or nice outbuildings or whatever. I'm currently trying to build the best of my existing bricks. I have to order suitable bricks first. I am trying to make my next plantations better.

I ordered the plants from AliExpr***. Most of my minifigures in Brethren of the Brick Seas are from Pirates of the Caribbean, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings. In "raising of troop: Guerrillas Mercenaries" you can see that there are 63 different faces. Neither is the same. In yellow I don't even have half of it. I know it's just fun.

I enjoyed building the plantation. I also considered building a plantation with bricklink Studio 2.0. No idea where the minifigures come from in all the LDD builds on eurobricks. I wasn't able to find or build 1 minifigure. Probably I did something wrong.
