    Thanks! Yea I had to build the wall to crumble the wall. So there was alot of double work. Even the column that fell was originally attached. There are also a ton of details that I included that you just have to notice!

    Thank you. The angle was tough to achieve with the triangle tiles since the corners of the building protrude. Each angle should reveal a feature or element that is not readily seen from another. Thank you ... I tried bright green under trans black tiles and I rather like the murky water effect it creates.

    Thanks! I like the mystery but also wanted to include a way to make us not the first to discover the island just merely the current. so having no history this creates an opportunity for some Thank you It was the only way I could picture swamp tree looking Aye and lining their pockets in the process Thank you ... it was a struggle to create a building but deteriorating. There were several parts where I built the wall then started deleting bricks to crumble it. Looking back, I wish I would have added more rubble on the ground. New images added! Traditional Bru Ha-Ha is Green/Yellow in color. If you look carefully you will notice a locally sourced fruit was substituted and is producing a lavender color and giving Bru Arr-Arr a unique flavor. They are only sold by the barrel full ... are you interested in one for your next voyage? Perhaps two to have on hand to prevent mutiny?

    Switching Puzzle

    This thread has become the WIP thread for my switching puzzle see the updates for specific posts or feel free to browse the whole thread! Comments are welcomed! Original Post: So after a trip to the local train club (scale trains n, ho, S, O) basically think a large room with about 12 different layouts running. One of the club members created a 4x2 HO switching puzzle and it was a lot of fun. I know I've seen switching puzzles at model RR shows but I haven't seen any in the Lego world. So I've been reading through decoupling and other tricks that have been posted. My question comes... Has anyone had any luck with switching puzzles in Lego at shows? Did they go over well or was it more hassle then it's worth? Current form: Updates:

    Upgrading Emerald Night from PF to PU

    I admittedly tested alot of gear setups/combinations the setup I run in mine is the 13th of 27 different tested designs. I actually went back to this design as I preferred it over the others for it's reliability and comprise on speed vs torque. It will not be the fastest train but it's a steamer so that can be forgiven. It does pull a nice 7 car rake of 1:48 coal hoppers with roller bearings just fine and looks good doing so. I would much prefer twin L motors but there is just not enough space. I went with the single L due to the fact I wanted to have a fireman and engineer in the cab. The outside still looks like the EN but the interior of the boiler and underside of the Cab changed drastically.

  20. Bloody Bill found himself and his fleet towed into the Port of Jameston by Gustaf's Anti-Piracy Fleet. Bloody Bill I hope your accomodations are up to expectations; a pair of men dressed in black appeared before Bills cell. We have a proposition for you. Should you choose to aid us in our hunt for the Pirate known as "The Dragon", we can arrange for you and your ships to sail out of this port. I remind you the Corries have quite the gallows erected for wanted Pirates such as yourself. There was a long moment of silence before Bill reluctantly agreed to aid in the men's hunt. You've choosen wisely my friend, the man in charge said as he handed a sealed parcel through the bars. You will find the documents are in order for your ships with the Harbormaster. All are listed under the name McAlister and if anyone asks your here trading sugar. Your holds are empty but your outfitted with the neccicary supplies to reach a more friendly port. Unfortunately your ship the WTC Agnes has broken free of her tow ropes in route. You have been compensated for your loss, even though she wasn't much more than a row boat. The cell was opened and Bill revealed some very pertinent information to aid the hunt for The Dragon. After their business was concluded Bill and his crew were escorted to their ships, eluding the hangman's noose for yet another day. Comments more than welcome!

    [KPA-REACTION] Hunt for The Dragon

    I thought it rather Pirate like lol thank you! Thank you. The brown was quite on purpose ... I wanted a way for the figures to pop and the background to feel unimportant to the story even though it is. So essentially everything not brown is important lol. Thank you Professor! I'm glad the handles were well received ...I wanted to give the feeling that the bars for the roof were built together so this solution was born. I look forward to the direction this story goes as well!
