The Governors Mansion

[ryanrl]

This is My version of the Pirates of the Caribbean Governors Mansion. All of the sections of the two story mansion are removable including the roof, and the second floor giving you access to the first floor. All of the floors are fully decorated and have many mini-figs. On the very top of the roof you can see through to the supports which i tried to cover up but have still not been able to find a good way to ( if you have any suggestions about this or any other problems please comment with your suggestion). In the picture i have included many views from the side,top,front,and inside the mansion itself. In total there are 17 mini-figs including: 3 guards, 1 governor/ admiral, 1 wife, 1 daughter, 1 advisor, 1 politician, 1 captain, 2 cooks, 1 waiter, and 5 servants. Inside the mansion there is a meeting room with a 4 seat table and a bookshelf, a bedroom containing both the wife and daughter along with a king bed (well large anyways), a cabinet, a dresser with a lamp on top, a pole with an extra hat, and a desk with a map. On the bottom floor there is a kitchen with a waiter and two cooks along with a stove and pot with flames around it, a cabinet with a knife inside, 3 bins containing a mix of chicken legs,carrots,fish,pots,and a knife. there are also two beer kegs and a table with two glasses. In the main room there are servants on a bench and a doorman in front of the door. Furniture wise the is a desk and seat with a scroll,envelope,and a wine glass. There is also another dresser with a map on top. Also in the room there is an organ and a crate containing maps and letters. As the exterior goes the is a nice set of marble (in this case white legos) steps down to ground level where there are fences on both sides surrounding bushes. The guards stand outside here. In the back there is a garden with a mix of plants and trees, there is one large palm tree at the northeast corner of the house. If you have any comments or suggestions please let me know and take a look at the picture below ( most of my pictures are on the website from the link below, if you would like to see a whole tour of the mansion please go to that website)

Okay, so while i was trying to improve it to give more detail i came across a few posts and towers (they are pictured below) i think if i incorporate them with the building it would look nicer. So i tried to make a front porch with the posts, unfortunately the posts went up to high and so i would either have cut the post (can't do) or have to raise the building ( also can't do). So right now the porch idea is out of the question so if you have any suggestion on what i could do to add more detail please share it with me.

looks good, though a little bare around the house and the walls could use some more details as they look a little plain, but in all a solid build:thumbup:

Thanks, I know that it is pretty bare and that some pieces dont match and I am still going to work on more details and possible a second story porch, i will also focus of moree foliage but the most detailed is the inside.
