[SR - FB] Hotel in Tortuga

[Professor Thaum]

On a dark deserted shore, cool wind in my hair.

: Warm smell of colitas, rising up to the air.

 

 

  : up ahead in a distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

: There she stood in the doorway, I heard a mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

: Then she lit up a candle

: And she showed me the way

there were voices down the corridors,

I thought I heard them say

: Welcome to the Hotel in Tortuga

: such a lovely place (such a lovely place) such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel in Tortuga

Anytime of year (anytime of year), you can find it here.

 

: Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got a nice ship class eight

: She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boyz, she calls friends

: How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

: Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

: So I called up the captain : "please bring me my wine"

: he said : "We haven't had that spirit here since 599"

And still those voices coming from far away...

: wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

: Welcome to the Hotel in Tortuga

such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face.

: They're living it up at the Hotel in Tortuga

What a nice surprise
Bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device

: And in the master's chamber, they gathered for the feast

: They stab it with there steely knives

: But they just can't kill the beast

 

 : Last thing I remember,

: I was running for the door

I have to find a passage back to the place I was before.

: Relax said the nightman

: we are programmed to receive

: You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave !

 

Ouf, finished.

Tribute to the Eagles and the wonderful "Hotel California"

This is a subject on which I was struggling for a long time, I'm pretty happy on how it turned.

C&C welcome as usual.

Even if I didn't count the footprint, I'm pretty sure it will fit for a large property, but a large property of what ??

I will think about this, but that was not the goal.

This succession of builds was to try some technic for the walls, the floors, etc, etc. And when I decided to mimic the Hotel California song, I must confess that the most difficult stuff to build was... this f**cking double shafted guitar played by Don Felder

 

To my surprise, the member of the band were pretty easy to mimic :

: Henley

: Frey

: Leadon

: Walsh

and

: Felder

This is simply fantastic! Great idea and what a tribute

[CapOnBOBS]

Yes!!!! *slow clap* I love absolutely everything about this! 

[evancelt]

This is great! Love the double neck guitar

[Ayrlego]

Great tribute, the changes to the lyrics to fit the BoBS world and accompanying scenes were great!

[blackdeathgr]

Clearly a lot if work has been put in this post! Great tribute too!

[Fraunces]

Indeed a masterpiece! The song fits perfectly. A Lot of trouble to make it all fit, no doubt. 

I like the beds, the big closet, the monster, the band, the bar and ofcourse the adaption of the text to BotBS world haha

[Puvel]

Brilliant! Read it once but then read it again with the song playing in the back and enjoyed it even more 

[Professor Thaum]

Thanks all for the kind words.

I'm now, thinking about a song contest .

And I will probably have some more stuff to pick from music.

Do you know Alestorm ?

I wanted to take my time before replying here.

You did an awesome job! Everyone knows the song so from the first words, I was "singing" it :)

Also awesome job depicting the song. You have improved a lot since you started here :)

When I saw the topic title this is exactly what I thought of

[Professor Thaum]

@Mister Phes And the whole idea started from the original picture, as I said to myself  "California rhyme with Tortuga : let' s build a hotel"

Well let's drink to that (at the hotel)!

[Mesabi]

Great build @Professor Thaum, both thematically, and as a MOC!

This one will be a large "residence" for Tortuga.

This is not a hotel, but rather a retirement house/sanatorium for those who spent too many times at sea
