Professor Thaum Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Somewhere on a shore of the Lowers, the Arkham Chaser is beached on a shoal. Thadd : It doesn't look good Ed, Starboard's stringer is crushed, we lost the rudder and there is some sewing works needed for the sails for sure. A luck the standing rigging is alright. Ed : There's a beach not so far and I'm pretty sure it was a mast behind this little cape over there. I will try to find something to repare. Thadd : OK, Ed, and I will do my best to save the sails while you're off. *** Later *** Thadd : Oh ! You were pretty succesful !!! Ed : Sure ! I found everything we need ! Behind the cape stand an embryo of trading post. ( @Maxim I ) Eslandolan one. The opening was full swing with a parade. They were so busy that they didn't notice anything. I even had some time to caulk the wood I borrowed. And I take this boat to carry the stuff. some jury-rigging later, the ship was ready. And so off-shore of the Lowers. Thadd : OK, Ed come a rhumb closer, I have set a course, we are heading straight to Black Rock. A chance we didn't lose the map and the compass when we ran aground on this sand bench. Ed : Sure, I had carefully packed the map around the compass and tied them to my belt when the weather broke. Ed : You may notice that the stars are with us too, look, the course follow this line of stars and... SPLAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHHH !!! Thadd : REUUUUUUUARGHHHHH !!! Ed : GOSH ! Look at that flipper ! Thadd : This thing is about a cable length !!! Amazing ! Thadd : That giant white whale is icredible Ed, what do you mean ? Ed : Errr... If we tell this to the doctor, he will send us back with another ship to find this whale. Thadd : No doubt, Ed ! Ed : So this is a pity we lost the map wraped around the compass in the storm. "ploof" Thadd : ...and the logbook with the course and coordinates... "ploof" Ed : And we won't speak of that giant whale anymore. Thadd : Of what ? *** later at dusk *** Ed : Oh, Thadd, look at thoses stars ! Perhaps we should follow this line, looks like a course for us ! The Arkham Chaser is not beached anymore. C&C welcome .

Maxim I Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Amazing job with the whale and how you played with the two settings 😃 hmmm, managing to steal wood in a basecamp filled with a regiment, I might have a word with my commanders about this 😃 Quote
blackdeathgr Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Excellent brick built hull and rigging! Nice transition between construction phases and from minifig scale to micro scale too!!! Very innovative! Edited March 11, 2022 by blackdeathgr Quote
