evancelt Posted December 11, 2020 "The Sea Rat" Granted the room didn't have any windows and the floorboards creaked, but the Sea Rat was grateful his room had solid walls and a real floor this Merrymas season. As he lay back on his bed, he thought about how much more comfortable it was than the stable he’d been hiding out in this time last year. He even had a modicum of privacy! Things were looking up. Still, he daydreamed of riches. Originally debuted as the December 10th entry in the Brethren of the Brick Seas Advent Calendar 2020 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evancelt Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) In response to some questions from a Facebook share about how the dream cloud is made/attached: The dream cloud part is held in place simply by gravity (it's sitting on the bottom vignette). In retrospect, would have been good to anchor it onto a stud on the corner or something for stability. The dream cloud has a 12x6 footprint and there are SNOT bricks on the 1st and 6th rows of side bricks. The top has a 2x slit left open to let light in Edited December 12, 2020 by evancelt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JintaiZ Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Looks fantastic! I love the color choices for the bed (as a reference to pirate sets) Edited March 2, 2021 by JintaiZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thedarkmaster2 Posted December 13, 2020 That is a very clever idea for a MOC but there are two inaccuracies on roman helmets were not mad eat the time of pirates and two they were never made of gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure quite what you mean about the helmet, though Not suggesting the helmet was made during era in the MOC. Roman times happened before Pirate times so ancient helmets may have been antiquities and kept as treasure. Superposition, order of operations, and all that! For example, dinosaur bones found by imperial guards. Anyway, dreams are limitless so the imagination is boundless. Edited December 13, 2020 by evancelt Added a dino bones link!
