Professor Thaum Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 Some cable lengths off the coast of Tanari, a reef cliff West Terraversa. Callaghan : What's this place Doctor ? Dr Thaum : This is one of my new sailor Charity, Callaghan. Callaghan : Sailor Charity !!? Dr Thaum : Yes, some of our merry men will take turns here to carefully watch the bay all around and to provide rescue to ships heading to the port and going in distress because of the numerous reefs of the area. We have enough row boats and skilled sailors to save many lives and salvage the precious cargo. Then the shipwrecked will probably be very grateful and will perhaps reward us with a part of the salvaged cargo. A good buzz for us, for sure ! Callaghan : OK, I understand, this is very humane. But in this case why a wrecker's light on the shack ? Dr Thaum : Me finally, Callaghan, think about it ! Callaghan : Errr, I must confess that I'm puzzled... Once again ! Dr Thaum : The coast of Tanari is very smooth , easy and approachable. Without this wrecker's light to direct them right to the reefs, no shipwreck, and without shipwreck, no lives and cargo to save, and so no gratitude ! We are pirates afterall ! Callaghan : Yeaaah, sure, I'm a bonehead ! Dr Thaum : How right you are ! C&C welcome as usual, this is my last entry for the challenge, my LEGO time is running out for this month. Quote
evancelt Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 Great wraparound stairs and while normally BURPs look bad, they don't look bad here The top railing design is interesting - I don't recall seeing modified tiles on top of spyglasses like that before. Funny story! The guy lighting the top light is pretty fun too. Quote
NOD Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 Looks good. I like how the shack on the rock has been converted into a lighthouse. Good story, I'm sure the rescued will be grateful and give something of the cargo. Quote
Thomas Waagenaar Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 Looks really good! From the staircase to the hut on top, it just works so well. I love how you managed to make those BURP's look so well combined with the rest! Only thing I'm missing is the sunny beach with some sexy lifeguards running down it, although come to think of that. That is probably a different Baywatch ;) Quote
Kai NRG Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 Sneaky pirates! Absurd houses perched on rocks are so fun, they get me every time. Great build! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 You got me hooked with the title - and I was not sure what to expect Quite a cunning plan, the doctor has envisioned here! Fine build with fine spiral staircase, I must say. Quote
Garmadon Posted August 16, 2021 Posted August 16, 2021 So Professor Thaum! What a clever idea, and this is like a brilliantly different approach at a lighthouse and yet still recognizeably one - very nicely done! As the others have mentioned excellent job with the spiralling stairs and giant lantern on top, and I'm quite surprised by how well you got the wooden area around the building to match with the railings!
