Garmadon Posted July 19, 2019 Something strange is going on... So far: Explosion on Gunpowder IslandA Message Is SentA Message Is RecievedAt The HeadquartersEncounter in the JungleDon't ShootExamination SubjectsMeanwhile...In the LaboratoryNever AloneA Scientific BreakthroughAir StrikeA Surprise Reward ... Soon word of the delicious cocorite-enriched bananas of gunpowder island had spread like wildfire throughout the Brick Seas. Everybody wanted to get their hands on the exquisite bananas. The Queen of Corrington had even sent her special ambassador to bring a cargo of gunpowder island bananas back to the capital. Naturally, during the initial rush the bananas were going for quite a decent price... and so the General and Marquis set up shop. Merchants from all over the colonies, and even from the Old World, lined up for miles to purchase a cargo load of bananas. And while the General and Marquis run the operations, the always business-savvy ETWC has partnered with them to get in on the profits as well... I mean, well, somebody was going to have to climb those trees... One more pic: And there you've got my contribution to Captain B's Mystery Island story-line! Hope y'all have enjoyed this installment and the whole story - I know I have! Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted July 19, 2019 Fine business opportunities arise here - a perfect place for the ETWC. And a perfect build, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted July 19, 2019 It's hilarious that the monkeys are selling and the people climbing trees. Great build, I really like the way the leaves stick up on the banana tree and the blue flowers look really good. Nice way to do the banana bunches too!

Professor Thaum Posted July 20, 2019 Excellent... I have very few time to built at the moment but the story is not over for me... there is something more to do with bananas and Gloogloos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted July 20, 2019 Beautiful landscaping Garm, it really enlivens the whole scene. The blue flowers are a nice touch and I like the use of the Harry Potter CMF stalk. Another great addition to the story (which I have only just had time to read in full!) Great work. PS. I have some plans to send some prospectors to Gunpowder Island to investigate the 'black sand' mentioned in the island description. Can you guys know if this will interfere with your story in any way - I want to avoid (too much) drama! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The banana bunch technique was borrowed from one of the other banana plantations in BoBS (Elostirion's, I think). Haha, yeah, banana/palm trees are kinda capricious in my experience - the leaves either put themselves all right almost all by themselves or they don't, and there's not a whole lot you can do about it!

(Well, some, actually, since these are Kai's ) As far as I know that'll be perfectly fine! @Captain Braunsfeld is the one running the story, so he can let you know for sure, but I don't think there should be any problem with that Sounds like an interesting investigation anyhow, looking forward to seeing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to gather new silly ideas for a follow up - or something completely different. @Garmadon Could you add a "The End" at the end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
