Maxim I Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Due to the recent raids of Mardier, the completion of the Merchant Quay has been a really stressfull thingy for Governor Maximilian Damaximus. But since the last days, the amount of activity has been booming in Trador. To secure safety of the traders, MAESTRO sent a full regiment to La Sombra. The Trade Quarters are a big success, many nations, trade companies and important families were almost fighting to get one. Every Trade Quarter was build accordingly to the owner, A Trade Quarter exists of a store room with direct access to the boats and a residence above it. . Garvey Emporium Consortium ( @CelesAurivern ) Prio Pierre d'Oleon ( to be revealed somewhere in the future ) Montoya Estate ( @Bregir ) Merchant Gate ( MAESTRO / Medium fort) WETEC ( @SilentWolf ) Sebeus Estate ( @Sebeus I ) White Glove Order ( @Sir Stig ) Quinsville ( @Tomsche ) Fontonajo Estate ( @Elostirion ) my nametag ^^ The Dancing Ember arriving at the Quays (ship build by Sebeus) General Whisximus (Terraversa Sea) and General Samu (Prio Sea) watching over the arrival of troops A WETEC sloop unpacking An Oleon soldier being distracted Corrie traders inspecting trade wares Officers from Eslandola, Corrington and Oleon chitchatting Merchant Gate MAESTRO Naval Soldiers watching over the unloading Sir Ethiximus and Governor Damaximus meeting with the King of Garvey behind is Trade Quarter.

Update: detailpics of the residences and the nametages and more pictures can be found further in this topic. ---------------------------------------- Thanks for watching!!! C&C welcome! Some remarks: due to circumstances, I have no access to my bag of blue round plates. I know it is a big difference and I am sorry the water is now plain base plate other circumstances are the reason I am missing the name bricks for the different houses. This should be solved in two weeks. Same goes for the coat of arms that will be placed next to the storerooms. Total of 11750 studs. Will be licenced as a royal commerce (10k studs needed) and a medium fort (900 studs needed) - Edited February 13, 2017 by Maxim I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted January 31, 2017 Absolutely stunning Maxim! Huge and packed with detail, I love the whole concept of the trading quarters and the way you have included a wide mix of people's stories across the whole game. So much detail to take in, I'm going back to inspecting the pictures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezclatipoca Posted February 1, 2017 Amazing build Maxim. Excellent ! I like the concept of showing each share of the build by making a shop for every owner ! Great concept ! And I am a fan of all of the cameos you've made ! Congratulations mate ! Hope to see Trador develop in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomsche Posted February 11, 2017 Doesn`t matter, I`ll bring a marker to Wetteren ;-) I`ll see if I can dig up the one from the Quinnsville build itself, I fear it ended up somewhere in my tub of 1x6s of 1x8s (if not already inside some mountain) but if I`ll get by it, i`ll bring it along for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted February 11, 2017 Fantastic looking merchant's quay, Maxim. Trador surely grew from nothing to grandeur out of nowhere - many transports (Bricklink... ) must have made their way to the new colony to bring building materials to such a grand project! I like the low quays with the first level of warehouses just behind for easy loading and unloading, and the merchants gate is a great trouch. I like how you go through the gate up those stairs to enter the (so far almost non-existant ) city behind it. The fortified second level with the personalised warehouses or headquarters is brilliant, and I am loving those personalised bricks! The only thing I am missing is the flags. I love all the life you have given the scene, and how you have presented them. As you say yourself, the water is a little plain, and covering it up with trans bricks might be a solution. But a very tiresome and expensive one! All in all, huge, lively, great looking moc. Very impressive. Dare I say Lord Damaximus WILL make Trador great (again)?

Garmadon Posted February 11, 2017 Excellent and singularly impressive build, Maxim! - the size along is astounding, but I, too, love all the personal details you've given to each of the buildings, making them almost guessable even without knowing whose they are! Some of my favorite details are the fort, all the soldiers, the gold on Fontanajo's building, and the arches on the White Glove Order's (and great job catching that Mardierian spy too, of course! ) Definitely some time well-spent, mate! You'll launch Trador into fame yet! 1 hour ago, Bregir said: Dare I say Lord Damaximus WILL make Trador great (again)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted February 13, 2017 Some more pictures of the residences And a few more detail pictures: I am very happy with the nametags on the buildings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted February 27, 2017 Well I thought I had seen all of the builds I had missed while I was out of the country back at the end of January. Apparently, I missed this one altogether. I really enjoy the way each building shows aspects of the individuals, trade companies, or countries. The name plates also turned out exceptional. I love the full shot of the scene as it shows the grandeur and size of this build. The small cameos and posing of the minifigures is great. I will go back to examining photos.

Captain Dee Posted March 17, 2017 Superb build Maxim! I'm impressed with the level of unique detail you managed to include on the fronts of all those buildings, and the height of the build is also impressive. All the minifig activity is great (and some of it humorous too). The nametags are neat as well. It appears that the lower level of doors leads into the basement of the buildings? Cool arrangement and an excellent job all around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
