evancelt 2237 posts Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Corrington and Oleon had negotiated the use of Spudkirk harbor by the bluecoat navy in support of their joint campaign against the Lotii. This arrangement primarily meant bluecoat ships could anchor offshore for provisioning and largely precluded Oleonese troops from landing in the Corlander settlement itself. However, Corlander Naval Intelligence established a small fortified base where they could work alongside their Oleonese counterparts on shore. If they were to beat the Lotii, Corrington and Oleon would have to work together! ---------------- OOC: To be licensed by Corrington in Spudkirk as a medium Arts and Culture @Ayrlego Edited May 3, 2023 by Marooned Marin Blogged on the Classic-Pirates.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego 2990 posts Posted June 5, 2022 As I mentioned on Flickr, this is easily my favourite build of yours in this style so far. Too bad it's not in Port Woodhouse where it belongs!!! Your solution for the angled walls is quite clever - Can you post some of the WIP shots from Insta here as a reference? I will totally be trying this in the future! The palm tree is also brilliant and I don't think I've seen those pieces used as leaves before. Very nice! Edit: Licensed for the faction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khorne 3946 posts Posted June 5, 2022 Very cool! I can only mostly echo what Ayrlego's already said, but NPU on that palm tree! I don't think I've seen one built like that before. The ramshackle walkway is great touch as well. Adds a whole lot of character to the MOC. I second the motion for the WIP shot of the angled walls. They look great. Also: lovely to see some bluecoat presence in a redcoat build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOD 1747 posts Posted June 5, 2022 This is a very beautiful Intelligence office right on the coast. The architecture of the building with the angled fortress-style walls looks interesting. I like the palm tree too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evancelt 2237 posts Posted June 5, 2022 Thanks guys! This build is going to be displayed in Denver at FanExpo with CoWLUG. Here are some behind the scenes shots of the base, walls, and tree taken from my Instagram story (hence the goofy messages on some of the pictures and unfortunate portrait orientation!). The wall technique was inspired by @CapOnBOBS 's sloped wall forts. My first experimentation with the tree technique was in this Seawatch recon build.

Will have to try a larger fort with that technique once Corrington finances can support such things again Would love to see that palm tree technique get used some more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
