Professor Thaum Posted March 27, 2022 On a small alley of Tortuga... There's a letter for the owner of the factory. The letter is another order,( here on the table ) an order for the factory of this man : Camillo Benedetto, the old brother of Carloni. Do you remember ? Carloni Benedetto : Tortuga's glass blower So here is Camillo, and we are in his spyglass factory. Here, the assembly of a spyglass with mount. Two other are complete, and just need Camillo's approval... ... To be stored before their delivery. Mr Rodney gets some lens ready to be mounted on a future telescope, this is the last stage of polishing, this one is almost ready. There you can see the first stage of polishing, on a big big lens. This order is confidential but Camillo recently asked for some reliable big crates and his apprentice was seen on the port asking for a ship to Jameston for some heavy load. Camillo, precisely, which is testing another kind of lens and prisms for his spyglasses and telescopes to damper the dim blue light for observations during sunrise or sunset, another weird idea of the doctor as it seems. This first part of Camillo factory will be licensed as a medium one for Tortuga. Expect more to come... C&C welcome as usual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOD Posted March 27, 2022 This is a great factory! I particularly like the interior view. It's nice to see the different techniques you used in building the walls. The gallery where the telescopes are displayed on the wall and the stairs down is the most beautiful part. It's very interesting to see the different workflows in the manufacturing process.

Garmadon Posted March 28, 2022 This is quite neat, always love seeing things like this in BoBS - everybody's got a spyglass, so somebody has to be making them! And there are some great and some hilarious designs mixed in there too! Love that stonework on the lower part especially, really nicely done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
