jaapxaap Posted February 20, 2017 Hey there! Finally there's a new GoH build from me! It's been about a year ago since my last one... :/ But I got some plans for new builds, when I'll be finished with The Tourney contest at mocpages... I didn't have a great idea for category A of the challenge for a while, but yesterday evening I found one(and also one for cat. B), and I couldn't resist building it as I think it's stupidly funny . Anyway, here it is: Messenger: "Hey, soldier! I got an important message for Lord Kiarr. Where can I find him? The message should not be lost!" Soldier: "Oh, hey! Welcome to Kyrrath! So you got a message? Interesting! hehe... Messenger: "Sure I got a message, and it's really important! Can you tell me please where Lord Kiarr is? Soldier: "Sure I can, but first I have some questions, as I can't send everybody to my Lord..." Messenger: "It's a message from the resistance, with some very important information! If it get lost, The spire will rule over whole Nocturnus!" Soldier: "So it's an important message against the spire?!?..." Messenger: "Yes, the leaders of the resistance send me to Kyrrath to deliver it to Lord Kyrrath, so Nocturnus will get rescued from the spire!" Soldier: "As you can see, we got a special mailbox for important messages about the war against the spire. Put it in there, and no one that may not read the message will be able to get it out of it, hehe" (He didn't even lie) Messenger: "Great, that looks very safe! I'll put the letter in the box!" "Thanks for the help, and have a nice day!" Soldier: "I wish you a 'safe' trip back! As 'safe' as your message is! hehe..." When the messenger has left: Soldier: "hehe, stupid boy. The leaders of the resistance make it easy for us, the spire, if they keep using these stupid, less intelligent messengers..." "This way, there's not even a single reason to kill the messengers, if they are so stupid! And I didn't even have to lie to him! hehe... " And here's the build: GoH - Challenge A - The Mailbox! And here's the way we stop messages from the resistance in Kyrrath: GoH - Challenge A: The mailbox! Kyrrath for purple, Kyrrath for the spire! Quite a rushed build, but I think you get the idea, and I decided it was funny enough to build and share with you! Hope you enjoy! Jaap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted February 20, 2017 A clever build indeed And nicely built too, the colours fit perfectly in Nocturnus, the magical mushrooms too, nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henjin_Quilones Posted February 20, 2017 Very nice, especially for a rushed build. I like the colors, and the idea of a flaming mailbox is quite clever; though I do wonder how the messenger failed to notice the smoke rising from the flames... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted February 20, 2017 Fantastic idea! Well built too. This must be Historica's first mailbox! Well, maybe not quite - I actually remember having seen one or two before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted February 20, 2017 Great idea, jaapxaap! The ramshackle mailbox looks like an interestingly unusual well! Nice idea with the fire inside to 'safeguard' the message from being read by the wrong eyes (or anyone's eyes, for that matter)! I still like your use of purple, especially in those transparent mushrooms! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted February 20, 2017 Nice build! But shame on you for supporting the spire... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blufiji Posted February 20, 2017 Laugh out loud clever. But wouldn't they see the smoke from the burning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleJohn Posted February 20, 2017 Haha, definitely a great idea for the category! The little roof over the 'mailbox' looks great, and I like the dark green landscaping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted February 20, 2017 This is great! The dark green with purple definitely looks Nocturnus. Like the "mailbox" idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
don leopold Posted February 20, 2017 The idea for this build is funny and so is the little story. As useally the colors purple and light grey are in your build and it is a bit of your trade mark and that looks great !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted February 21, 2017 Incinerating mailboxes, certainly seems Nocturnian Neat little shelter with your distinctive purple roof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted February 23, 2017 Very funny entry, and as Sk said, very Nocturnian too! That mailbox definitely looks 'safe,' certainly, and I really like the small slight you've got up there! Great to see you back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exetrius Posted February 26, 2017 This thing has a great look, smooth and worn down at the same time. Nice way of keeping Kyrrath spam mail free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
