Ayrlego Posted June 22, 2016 One of the first businesses to open in any new settlement will usually be a public house and Mooreton Bay is no different. The Corunna Tavern offers newly arrived settlers modest accommodation while at the same time serving refreshing drinks and humble food. In this scene you can see several citizens of Mooreton Bay enjoying refreshments. In the street two troopers of the newly arrived Queen's Own Hussar Regiment ride past and a soldier escorts some convicts to a work party. A detachment of troopers from the Queen's Own Hussar's has been dispatched to Mooreton Bay to provide extra security and mobility. The Hussars are indeed an impressive sight in a dashing black and red coat with a brilliant scarlet peliesse. ------------------------------------- Hi all! I had good intentions for expanding Mooreton Bay this month but it hasn't seemed to come together! I've cheated a bit here and used the upper level of a building from my recent Ainesford Market MOC build to produce a quick tavern for Mooreton Bay. While making a Bricklink order recently I came across the vampire torsos which I had not seen before. Thinking they'd make a perfect torso for Corrington soldiers I had to give it a go and these Hussars are the result. Hope you enjoy. As always C&C most welcome!

TitusV Posted June 22, 2016 Very Nice build, I love the half-timbered section and the roof! This has a very good "colonial" feeling! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezclatipoca Posted June 22, 2016 Great build as always ! This roof design is becoming you signature :) when I see it, I know it's your work. Is it possible to see interior of the tavern ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdeathgr Posted June 23, 2016 Yeap, another great build from you! And who would tell that these torsos were so fitting for military use! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks everyone for the comments! Great build as always ! This roof design is becoming you signature :) when I see it, I know it's your work. Is it possible to see interior of the tavern ? Thanks Faladrin! The roof concept was originally stolen from Mike's Amelia%20Street%20by%20-Mike%20S-,%20on%20Flickr"]Amelia Street[/url] so I can't claim credit! I could take a photo of the interior if you wanted to see a particular technique as this build has so far survived my two day sorting purge. However unfortunately there are no details, it's mostly black bricks used as a filler so that the light doesn't show through the cracks in the walls - so if you were hoping for a full interior, sorry to disappoint! (I simply haven't had the time this month ) Yeap, another great build from you! And who would tell that these torsos were so fitting for military use! Thanks blackdeathgr! Yep, I had never seen them before but when I came across them they screamed to be used for BoBS!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mpyromaxos Posted June 24, 2016 Beautiful Tavern, and great idea with the 2 horseman Hussar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted July 25, 2016 Beautiful tavern. It shows your building style really well. The door may be a bit modern; otherwise the facade looks perfect for that time period with the earth colors and latticed windows. The two Hussars look really nice too. Good work.
