Rhys Flaidd DeTaillefer .....Sandbank? More like small island.....there's just enough of it that stays dry, even during a Spring Tide.. Fishing at the Captain's Shanty on Flickr We built a dock and small bridge to connect her to the lighthouse proper.... Lighthouse and Captain's Shanty on Flickr I have a small porch on the roof that allows me to survey the harbour during my down time from the ship. I've been working on improving the navigation maps for our captains and helmsmen.... Widow's Porch on the Shanty on Flickr Though isolated, we get regular supplies from Bastion.... Fresh supplies from Bastion on Flickr The gulls must surely think we are daft.... Dead Man's Rock (Bird's Eye View) on Flickr ================================================ Thanks for visiting!

Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 28, 2016 This one fits together very nicely with your previous build. I also like your approach to water. I approve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted February 28, 2016 Really cool that the two connect! I also like your style of building wooden sections Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted February 28, 2016 Love the suspension bridge! +1 approval from Corringtion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted February 28, 2016 Following your scrambled lighthouse, this build also follows the "imaginative" architecture of the Sea Rats! I like the fact that they are connected and that wood is prominent as it should be. Overall a fine build! (now that i found where thumbs up emoticon is, i will abuse it!!! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Genaro Posted February 28, 2016 Clever the way you've combined both of your builds, but focusing on the shanty, I like it. A nice structure that has all the air of a fun little Caribbean pirate hideout. The rooftop deck is a great addition and something that I would expect most seafaring captains would appreciate. I approve . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted February 28, 2016 Clever joining two FBs. The shanty feels very cozy. A fine residence. Avast, conflict of interest, I can not approve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CelesAurivern Posted February 28, 2016 It's a lovely link up the the lighthouse build. Also, respect for that thousand stud water technique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vedauwoo Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Also, respect for that thousand stud water technique. lol....yes! I realized I did not have enough studs for the "pile method" so I went this route....with 1x2 tiles for some added texture....not too bad in the end... Very tedious placing them all with the rest of the structures in place though! Edited February 28, 2016 by Vedauwoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted February 29, 2016 I approve on this build. I also like how you connect it to the previous build. The suspension bridge looks nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stig Posted February 29, 2016 Lovely scene, and great connection to the lighthouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted February 29, 2016 Nice looking residence - it looks very fitting for a pirate, and I like the ramschackle, yet sturdy appearance, as if it was built by expert hands from a limited selection of materials. I do hope this picture is painted at high tide - otherwise that boat will drift off when then flood comes! Very nicely integrated with the lighthouse too! I approve.

Phadeout Posted February 29, 2016 The bridge is great, the water too, all in all it is an excellent scene. I approve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted February 29, 2016 Nice build! I approve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezclatipoca Posted February 29, 2016 Nice residence ! Be careful during century tide ! or during tropical storms ! Great design, good building and nicely addition to your lighthouse ! I approve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolonialbeamter Posted March 1, 2016 If this was a spa, I'd come over right away. Great job, KB likey muchey. Here, take this , it's dangerous to go alone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted March 2, 2016 The shanty looks great by itself - nice and smooth, good design, lovely palm fronds - but the combined arrangement is excellent. The connecting bridge is nice too. This is a good way to get multiple builds from an idea. I like the water technique and the sandbar looks good. How big is the base, either seperate or altogether? Good work. Approved!

Vedauwoo Posted March 2, 2016 How big is the base, either seperate or altogether? It's built across 3 32x32 baseplates.....the "treads" for the bridge turned out to be remarkably finicky....much more rigid than I expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZaneKane Posted March 6, 2016 This is very well done. There is a lot of attention to detail and such. I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
