Professor Thaum Posted September 17, 2017 Far west from Nova Malto and east from Tortuga... A cutter is sailing beat to the east Iauln : Lee Shore !!! It's Barney, right in the rendez vous point !!! Turpin : I don't even understand why we sailed to get him back, Oliver. You hired 3 saboteurs, and this perfect specimen is the only one, you press for recovering... It boggles my mind. Doctor Thaum : No stress Dick, the two others are backseat drivers, and this one is the only one which I met while hiring. And Barney is not a bad guy. The WTC and the... spit... count Mesabi could run after the 2 others, who cares, but this one is mine !! Turpin : You're the boss, Oliver. Time to take on board Callaghan ! Callaghan : OK, I'll go ! Spillet : We are close to Isla de Victoria, Doctor, we must hurry. And the wind is changing. Doctor Thaum : You're a wise man Mr Spillet, we will sail as soon as possible, but I need this man ! Callaghan : Should I take one or two turtles back with Barney ? Doctor Thaum: You're a bonehead Callaghan !! Hurry up !!! Callaghan : Come on Barney !! We're getting you back to Tortuga ! Barney : Great !!! I'd just decided that if you won't come in 3 hours, I had to runaway on a turtle heading east !! C&C welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesabi Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Very nice build thaum. The Cutter is exquisite. The sales are just fantastic on it. I'd love to see it in more builds. I must say though, it's a little hard to make out in the photos. The story is pretty good, but is raises more questions then answers for me. Who are the other two guys? Why is thaum hunting barney? What will happen to poor Barney? Anyways good luck in the contest. I'll open up the voting thread at the end of september. Just realized the ship was the Gargoyle from your other thread. Don't care, is still awesome. Edited September 18, 2017 by Mesabi I'm an idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted September 18, 2017 I like the bubble-built water, and the island-like baseplate is interesting, the turtle heading east is excellent, is it a regular bus turtle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxim I Posted September 19, 2017 I had a first "very nice" moment when sawing the cutter. But the turtle was the "Wow" moment in this build :D Very fun story as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
