CapOnBOBS Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) The citizens of North Sillitholina have rapidly adopted their newly acquired patriotism. Being across the river from their less fortunate half has made their new identity that much stronger. The newly renamed and proudly licensed in the records of Oleon "Blue Coat Wheelwright" is tylical of this celebration of all things Oleon. It is unclear if the boom in this large factory's production and orders is the result of patriotic zeal or just the rising tide of the larger TV rebuilding efforts. But the team has been working overtime to meet increased demand. The once sleepy little town is now a mix of booming industry and rural charm. The owners find themselves chasing deer off the property in the mornings when they come to work. A homemade bridge spanning the small flowing creek completes the scene. Though at what today would be "the edge of town," customers don't seem to mind the walk out to see what sizes, shapes, and colors have been recently made and hung out on display. Being at the creek side allowed the construction of a water wheel driven saw, carefully mounted inside the shop. Just another example of the prosperity and tranquility of living in the Kingdom of Light. Note: first attempt at the @evancelt TM duplo base. Allowed the creek to drop 6 bricks in height from end to end. Also, I have bricks again! Edited July 30, 2021 by CapOnBOBS Quote
evancelt Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Gorgeous build, @CapOnBOBS! Great exterior and interior - the anvil and various wheel containers look good. Hopefully the DUPLO method saved you some time/bricks during the build! Some great building colors (bleys and tans) and terrain colors (green and lime) I would recommend cropping that first photo to center the build in the middle of the background - it's a disservice to leave it off-center like that! Glad you've got your bricks back Quote
NOD Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Nice house and colorful landscape. The deer look funny. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 What a fine establishment! And the river looks great too! If I had to change anything, it would be to add one or two bigger/higher trees to better compliment the awesome building of yours. But you know, posing with so many deer is a baaaad bad thing!!!

Ayrlego Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 I see you have access to your bricks again - very nice!!! The barn style shaped roof was the instant stand-out here for me (well also the deer, but building wise definitely the roof!). Nice to see the old rope bridge make an appearance - I've wanted to use mine for a long time but have never quite worked it into a build (yet!). Nice work! Quote
