Reginald Brewerfrump had always been interested in old things. As a child in Belson, he had sought out all of the oldest places in Corrington and when he visited them he had taken notes in a pocket-sized notebook. Now as an adult, he was about to get to catalog new discoveries made in the Brick Seas!

Brewerfrump was the new curator of the Royal Society of Natural Philosophy Museum of Antiquities in Wullham.

Among the first exhibits on display was a collection of large mysterious bones found by the 26th Foot while stationed in Elizabethville.

OOC: Submitted as a Corlander entry in the Faction Flavours Mini Challenge.

I wanted to make this build to continue the story of the mysterious bones! I found a way to fit in 6 colors of telescopes, but didn't find a natural way to fit in my black or yellow ones. Also thought it would be fun to feature all custom redcoats and only show their backs :pir-grin:

Licensed as a small educational building in Wullham

A very intricate interior and I counted six uses of the telescope before I read that you'd already numbered them! The use of the bottom hinge pieces as wall detail is especially pleasing. A very nice entry!

Nice entry indeed! I'm not overly sold on the stickered uniforms but those custom floor tiles are otherworldly beautiful! I have my eyes on them since ages!!!

I also like those trivia that appear on builds like that such as the "find the 6 different colored telescopes" of yours. They are really entertaining!

Nice windows too!!!

Rolls right off the tongue, right?

Thanks! After I used the hinge base on the outside of the ETTC Warehouse I wanted to try it on an interior too. I really like how it kind of looks like an ornate cornice

Thanks! Yeah the curved windows came in the mail from BnP earlier in the day and I wanted to try them out. I need to get more of the 2x2 gold lattice frames to fill them out!

I usually use stickered backs on my normal redcoats (see below), but they are less noticable without the coattails I think! When @Ayrlego wrote "custom redcoats" in the challenge description that caught my eye and I thought it might be fun to feature some of the KTown Bricks, Nevabrick, and Saber Scorpion custom redcoats.

Examples of normal stickered redcoat backs:

I've been developing an alcoholic dwarfen brawler who will be called Gruntle Thunderpunt. They can be friends.

This is a very nice room. The walls, windows and the floor are great. I like the uniforms because from behind the coats can also be seen over the legs.

It's really great that there are links to related happenings.

Wait are some of those redcoat torsos actually printed onto the backs of the legs?... so cool... Really like the floor pattern too, feels quite appropriate.  Great job getting lots of telescopes in here and I love the crates on the bottom of the wall, perfect texture!

Oh yeah those figs from KTown Bricks have the coattails printed right on the legs! They aren't cheap, but I think they have some greencoat variants too!

I am little more excited for these classic greencoat and whitecoat imperial guard torsos you can get here: https://brickguild.ca/

Mine are in the mail!

Thanks. I'd been meaning to circle back on the dinosaur bones so this seemed like a good opportunity!

I was talking with the owner last week and he is planning to create some greencoat admirals to go with the green soldiers and then some yellow / orange variants too

And then replenish their inventory! Too bad  custom office totally scalp us when ordering from your side of the globe.

Brilliant build! It took me a while to find the sixth, being the 'bones'.

Where are the floor tiles from?

Thanks! The floor tiles are custom from a store called BrikBlok

Late to the party, but this is just too good to miss commenting on! :pir-wub:  There're some fantastic uses of the seed part here (and great job in getting it everywhere and in so many colors! :pir-grin:  And without seeming forced at all too!), and overall, with those fantastic bay windows, the floor pattern, and perfect level of detail and interest to the wall this has a very nice and genuinely elegant Corrish air to it!  Really nice work.

And those coattails!  Not quite sure whether to laugh or to think you are simply brilliant, so I think I'll do both! :grin: :laugh:

Thanks so much! I think of the 4 submissions I've made so far for the mini-challenge, this one is my favorite

Hey @CapOnBOBS - They are from the BrikBlok Toy Store on AliExpress. That store makes all sorts of cool custom stained glass windows and floor tiles. The floor tiles range from classical to modern.

Here's a link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000973275889.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allProduct.8148356.3.4c353fd052GGJM

Make sure you get enough of the tiles as it take 2 - 3 months to get to the US!
