Captain Braunsfeld 6871 posts Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Here is my third free-build for this month, so I kindly ask for approvals from Corrington, Oleon and the much-feared Sea Rats. Little Shop of Parrots I have shown some Pontelli houses before, but, of course, in Eslandola everything is about commerce! With the size of fleets constantly expanding, the growing number of captains is triggering an extremely high demand for parrots. Percy, the parrotmonger, is the first address in Pontelli if you are looking for a Norwegian Blue. You can easily find him: Main road 5, open from 9 - 6 every day, except for Sundays. C&C & approvals welcome! Edited April 5, 2019 by Captain Braunsfeld (pictures now on Bricksafe instead of flickr) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_spock 11293 posts Posted March 13, 2016 I like the tie-in with the other build/story. I wonder if you use a different color 1x1 plate in the building parrots would that give them some eyes. Sea Rats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld 6871 posts Posted March 13, 2016 So, if I buy a norwegian blue, how do I know it's not just a painted grey one? That is even worse than the question about hen and egg... I approve. The story and build are awesome especially when reminded of the back story. Thanks! I like the tie-in with the other build/story. I wonder if you use a different color 1x1 plate in the building parrots would that give them some eyes. Sea Rats That is a good idea, well, maybe such large parrots would be terrifying?

Captain Dee 2863 posts Posted March 17, 2016 Humorous little shop, although based on some of your old builds I shouldn't be surprised at the subject matter. It may look a little bit modern thanks to the big parrot decorations but it's still a nice build. I really like the colorscheme. This Corry approves.
