Jacob Nion Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Log Entry, Benjamin Morgan, Isla del Diablo Slowly we made our way through the dense scrub, Fighting for every step against the vegetation. Or was it the island itself trying to keep invaders away? The soil for once was indeed fertile, as the rumours had promised. Not far away from our landing point we found the shiniest red chili peppers we had seen so far in the new world. Some unexpierenced crew members took it for a decent meal. One may blame us for not warning them. But at least we couldmost assuredly say that this indeed was the isle of the devil...

Kolonialbeamter Posted April 18, 2016 Hot build, Jacob Love the peppers, and that you added red and greens. Great explaination for the island's name Poor sailor on the left, but his facial expression is just priceless. Good luck in conquering the rest of the island, Keep it up!

Kai NRG Posted April 19, 2016 Chili peppers! Great build, really nice work with the plants and good choice of expressions for the minifigures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurigan Posted April 19, 2016 There's a quirky kind of brilliance here. Those papers are novel yet instantly recegoniziable. I just feel bad for those poor, ignorant sailors just hoping to stave off the scurvy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted April 19, 2016 Nice peppers, great vegetation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted April 19, 2016 Ha, ha, great minifig expressions once again, and the vegetation here looks even better than on you last! Those peppers are neat in particular! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted April 19, 2016 Great landscaping, vegetation and posing, Jacob. The peppers are brilliant, and I wonder how far these settlers will get, if they keep eating anything they come across! And as always, a pleasure to read your story! Two questions: 1) Where are those bright green hands from, and 2) That scabbard thing for the cutlass - is that Lego? I have seen them in many different Mocs, but can't remember seeing them in a set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted April 19, 2016 Two questions: 1) Where are those bright green hands from, and 2) That scabbard thing for the cutlass - is that Lego? I have seen them in many different Mocs, but can't remember seeing them in a set. The hands come from a bunch of places, chiefly on alien stuff, but the scabbards came in quite a few POTC sets a few years ago (I wasn't/am not into POTC, but thankfully ended up with at least one in white anyhow! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted April 19, 2016 Spicy hot build. I like how the red compliments the green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khorne Posted April 19, 2016 Lovely build. The vegetation and landscaping is great and the minifig poses and expressions are spot-on. I really love the palm tree design. I really have to try my hand at making one myself sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted May 3, 2016 This is an interesting story, and the build is really nice. The variety of vegetation looks perfect. Too bad for the poor souls who partake... Good idea and good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
