Mesabi Posted November 28, 2017 Location: Jameston Type: Medium Factory Agnes and a WTC Elite walked to the edge of Jameston, where the new musket factory had opened. They had been told to only build their buildings on the edge of town for reasons everyone knew. Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Two Bored WTC Infantrymen stood in front of the factory. "Woah Woah Woah" Said the First. "We're guarding this building. We don't need any of you elites around!" "Yeah, Scram! We don't take your type here." Said the Second. Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Agnes sighed. "What is it with you grunts? Is someone jealous they aren't called elite?" "No..." Said the first sheepishly. "Good," Said Agnes smugly, "Trooper, stay out here and show them how to guard a building." Agnes entered the building leaving the three soldiers to argue outside. Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr The Foreman greeted her. "Sorry for the delays, countess. We had some trouble constructing the building." "All in good time, mr. foreman. Now, show me how this factory works." "Of course!" Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "First, Metal is pounded into the rough barrel of the gun." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "It's taken over to the furnace, where it's heated, sealing the cracks." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "Once it's been forged, we let it cool over here." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "Meanwhile, we assemble the flintlock mechanism." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "Additionally, the stock is cut out of wood." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "All of the pieces are brought to the master craftsman at the crafting table." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "And the musket is assembled." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "Then we just package them." Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "You see, we run an efficient and productive factory here in Jameston. And now that we're operational..." Agnes cut the foreman off. Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "Now that the factory is operational, I can put you out of your misery and put one of Mordo's men in charge." Said Agnes, with a rare smile. "Did you just pull those out of the box there? Because those aren't loaded..." The foreman said calmly. Musket Factory by North White, on Flickr "Damnit." FIN Thanks for viewing my latest factory! I hope to get one more out before the month ends. I'll take my 200 Dbs, thank you. C&C appreciated. I hope this is accurate enough for musket production. I'm not entirely sure how the barrels were made, so that part might be a bit off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted November 28, 2017 Nice job taking us through the construction steps. I'm not sure about your barrel method either, but I like how you've represented the other steps, such as assembling the flintlock mechanism and the assembling table. Good use of those various bar clips and similar pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darnok Posted November 28, 2017 Nice one! The collection of bits miraculously morphing into a functioning musket is my favourite! All in all a solid build. The front of the factory is a bit barren in my opinion. The "inside" section might look even better with some more seperation of room, meaning some walls and seperate rooms. Maybe an office for the administrative side of things and a storage room for the finished muskets? My initial thought when only seeing the title was "cool, he is advancing the weapon production on Argentia!", with the cannon factory there. Set up something similar at home I say! Cascadia will provide the woods for even better musket barrels, and of course fuel the fires of the melting ovens. If you build something similar on a bigger base, with the expansions mentioned above, the whole thing could easily become a large factory for Mesabi Landing. Your men would not like to get their megablock kicked by Mordo though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted November 28, 2017 Mesabi, I can't see you pictures (i'm at work and flickr is blocked) or transfer your money (as are Google forms) however I will comment and pay you when I get home. If you are not too far into your second factory, I'll pay the same incentive for a artisan or commercial. Up to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If nobody else minds, I would take that "commerce" offer, I have a nice idea that I will build tomorrow. @Mesabi: medium artisan (Jameston needs two points worth) for you?

Ayrlego Posted November 29, 2017 Nice job Mesabi, I like the attention to detail you paid with the production process. I'm not sure barrels were made like that, but it works for here! Drunknok pretty much covered the points I can think of for improvement - some dividers in the interior and some more vegetation/detailing on the exterior. I'll pay your incentives after I've finished commenting on both builds, let me know when you license them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
