Garmadon Posted April 28, 2018 Episode 1Episode 2Episode 3Episode 4Episode 5Episode 6 Episode 7 - here you are. And so all of the Corries had ended up in the water (well, some were still on there way, but they were working on it). Colonel Greybeard, however, was not ready to give up. "I'm not to be duped, troop! Look, I spy a sloop!" And so saying, he swam quickly to the sloop resting beside the quay nearby, and clambered on board, followed by his men. Sergeant Salt and a private leaped off the dock as the Colonel trimmed the sail and started moving after the escaping ship, but just then a horseman behind them bellowed out, "Jolly Molly, Colonel Greybeard, my old fellow, is that you? What is the rush, by good chap, if I may make so bold as to ask, mayhap?" Colonel Greybeard turned and saw his old mate in military school, Marshall Shallmall. "We're after that scoundrel of a highwayman, mate, and I have no doubt we'll catch him soon going at this rate! They've got a head start, men and mice, but 'tis no great shakes!" "Got room for one more old messmate?" inquired the Marshall, and without waiting for an answer, he and his horse leapt bodily over the quay's barrier and into the water, almost smashing poor Lieutenant Stick to powder. "Oh dear," exclaimed the latter - and even the bubbly Sergeant Salt looked a wee bit concerned as the Marshall and his horse clambered on board. From the shore they heard the sloop's owner - also the head of the Eslandolan Furniture and Goods Moving Co.'s branch in Cocovia - calling out, "Wait, wait! My boat!" - but by this time they were well on there way. And besides, Colonel Greybeard had all of Corrington's commandeer laws down pat... In the background a WTC soldier sneaked off with a crate of important goods. ... To be continued... Obviously a variation of my last build for this series, although it's got a good deal of new material in there as well. And before anybody says anything: yep, I do think that red roof does stand out a bit too much Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 28, 2018 What can I say? Just great! Next episode will feature captain cookie (hopefully) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Great addition to the previous scene! This story is quite funny so far, keep it up both of you! I really like the stonework on the red-roofed house and the movers look great, so does that sloop. Top notch minifigure posing too with the Corries clambering about! Edited April 28, 2018 by Kai NRG Too many !! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted April 28, 2018 Another very nice build and entertaining story Garmadon! Keep up the great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted April 28, 2018 Great, the shipjacking of the removal sloop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart Posted April 29, 2018 I really like following this story. Nice work on the set, moving it just a bit down the street is a clever thing to give the feeling that the story is moving own. The piano movers are a great touch, as is the other activity on the dock. Would've loved to see that horse clime aboard though :P Bart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 29, 2018 Wow the rocks effect is amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elostirion Posted April 29, 2018 That is once again just wow! The amount of action you manage to convey by posing the mnifigs and objects is absolutely outstanding. You are surely one of the very best MOCers in this regard. Hugely inspirational. And yeah, the build around it is pretty neat as well, as usual. Fantastic!

Would've loved to see that horse clime aboard though :P Bart Yep - I really like the idea of using the same basic background but adjusting it to the needs of the story; it adds a sort of continuity which is often missing. Plus, in this case it saved me a deal of work, Well, I was actually thinking about trying that, but the camera was running out of battery really quickly so I just snapped a few shots and let it be. The horse will be on board in my next build, however! On 4/29/2018 at 7:20 AM, Elostirion said: That is once again just wow!

And yeah, the build around it is pretty neat as well, as usual. Fantastic! Thanks a lot, mate! The minifigs just kind of fell into place with this one, and they were for the most part remarkably well balanced (which is hardly normal for me )! I honestly think that the sense of action and motion is even better in my next build, though!

Keymonus Posted May 1, 2018 I assume the Corries can swim quite well... Great use of your port, the details you added (the piano and the boat in particular) are very nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
