[COR FB] Customs Post, Jameston

[Ayrlego]

A coastal surveillance station and custom's post located in the mouth of Vanilla Bay, Jameston. Manned by a Royal Customs and Excise Officer and a small contingent of ETTC Sepoys, the coming and goings of merchant shipping into the large port are diligently recorded.

 

I enjoyed how the last yellow build worked out and wanted to do some more builds with yellow. During the vanilla factory build, I came up with the window design I used here on the top floor but I didn't end up using it. So I decided a tower was in order to accommodate it! So really this whole build was because of a window design that then got modified again when I actually used it! Also I wanted to try using the kid's Duplo to build the base up a bit more than usual. The photos make it look flatter than it really is, and you can't see it, but the whole build is build on a base of Duplo blocks that in some places are two high. There are also 4 animals included just for fun, one of rarely used monkeys, a seagull and two chameleons (one of which is not real visible with the angle of the photo - the other camouflaged really well with the landscape colours).

Another excellent MOC!

Woohoo Duplos! Another great build - love the window design and base shape

[Pdaitabird]

That's a really nice tower design and color scheme! The landscaping works well too.

I'm really liking these yellow buildings - such a bright color and it goes beautifully with the green foliage.  Love that little cannon too!

Kind of feel like you have too many different styles going with the rockwork - studs up with significant stair drops, slopes on the right, and then two curves at the front...  But that is nitpicking.

Beautiful tower with a landscape. The curved window frames and door frames look great.

Wow, Ayrlego is on fire, guys ! Tread yourselves !

[Thomas Waagenaar]

That looks really cool! I think I'm going with a yellow building too in my next project, seeing how well the colour works. :D

 

And obviously I couldn't be not looking for the camouflaged chameleon, sooo...

Did I get it right? :P

Yep, but for the real challenge the second one is only just visible (I'm pretty sure I can only see it because I know where to look)....!!!

Alright, so, I spent 10-15 minutes on this next one and I'll probably have it wrong. But ehhh, here goes!

 

Sorry for the bottom spoiler, I don't know how to delete it when on my phone...

No, not it! To the left of and slightly below the seagull - like I said, if I didn't know it was there I'm pretty sure I wouldn't see it!

That actually was the other location I was thinking of 😅

 

This guy right here, but wasn't sure if that was a leaf or not due to the angle and I didn't see any stripes on it either, so I went for the other guess :p

Honestly, the quality of your builds is so consistently great that I've gotten a little too comfortable with it. Need to keep reminding myself.

Beautiful tower, beautiful base, beautiful build. Love that monkey climbing up the side.
