Bricksbypidy Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Peter Nash (architect) had meanwhile become the house architect of sugar kingpin 'Padre Azúcar'. After designing his hacienda on Queenston and his agave farmhouse on Mesabi Landing, Peter received a new assignment from the 'Padre'. His eye had fallen on Jamestown. Here he wanted to further expand his sugar empire. He had a plantation here and wanted a rum distillery to process the raw products into the divine liquid: rum. --- Will be licensed as a Large Factory to Jamestown (Mayor Colonel Sir Dirk Allcock @Ayrlego), by @Bricksbypidy.

Ross Fisher Posted February 13, 2023 You've really nailed the inspiration pic while keeping the modern elements out. Do you ever get an opportunity to build in real bricks? I'd love to see your style and photography. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justsomebrix Posted February 13, 2023 Your factory is really well designed, you can instantly see what it is without it looking too modern for the time period. The sugar cane fields around it really makes the scene for me, well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOD Posted February 13, 2023 Very nice architecture style and colors. In addition, there is a very beautiful landscape and many details that belong to a rum factory. @evancelt Congratulations on being promoted to Pirate Regulator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarovich Posted February 13, 2023 Fantastic build. So much detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted February 14, 2023 Another beauty! I love the sand green half wall so much, going to have to make a mental note of that! Wonderful vegetation and so lush, I do love how well these digital builds lend themselves to creating so much context around a building. The little bit of warm light in the distillery looks perfect too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 14, 2023 Gorgeous implant! The inclined orientation of the building is incredible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krol Zmija Sebastian Posted February 15, 2023 An ingenius build. I've had a few laughs imagining an enthusist that would get frustrated before even flustering to make the distillery itself. Just joking, obviously it gets made first. The architecture is comforting the more I gander at it. The coloring is obviously brick, but did you imagine a hot day or is it just that good of a reanactment of history? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ayrlego Posted February 20, 2023 A beautiful build and very welcome addition to Jameston. I have really enjoyed your sugar builds for this GoC task but this may just be my favouritism of the three. Well done and for GoC of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Waagenaar Posted February 21, 2023 Impressive factory! Love that it's at an odd angle too, to break up the otherwise square base! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted February 25, 2023 Excellent rendition of the inspiration pics, and an amazing build in itself. I like the story too, although Mr. Nash seems to make his way through the Colonies very quickly! (Personally, I prefer a bit more internal consistency in my characters' travels, but I have nothing against your approach.) The building itself is really nice, and captures that colonial industrial feel spot on. But to me, it is the inclusion of the landscaping around it that makes it stand out. It is something that is often hard to do with physical bricks, so I am really happy to see you go the extra effort here. A definite for GoH, of course!
