Nice clean room with just the right amount of details to make it look real. You could potentially have added some ornamented overhang to the top of the walls to represent stucco and raise the walls a bit to make it looks like a higher ceiling. The hanging drapes and lamps break up the walls nicely, and I enjoy your Lego art. It's slight confusing that the clerics are in the same colour as the statues. Do your statues reference some specific works, or are they original works? Overall well done!

Not what I expected from the title, but I like both concept and execution. Well done!

I too eyed the technique for a while before figuring it out - very cleverly done! (Although I can only imagine how complicated it must be to make structurally sound!) One thing I wonder, though. It seems like there are very specific rank requirements to be fetching mushrooms! Excellent build all around.

*whistles innocently*

Excellent shipyard, Wellesley. I like the inclusion of both a slipway and a drydock, and the crane and other implements. Well done. The birds are exceptional. Either I have forgotten writing that letter as Fletcher, or you have taken a bit of a liberty with my character, but no harm done. Is it correct that you used this build as background build for your intro, or similar? Since it hasn't been licensed before, I don't see a problem, but just want to preempt anyone thinking it has been unfairly repurposed. Have you ever shared the template for those coats? I think the rolling waves are very well done too. Evan's comments on photography are spot one - I would suggest finding a good uniform background for your pictures going forward. I use a large rollerblind, as it has little tendency to crease. Overall, obviously a GoC from me. Since a shipyard is producing goods, it would either be factory or artisan. I would suggest a factory, as it seems like large scale standardised production, but it could also be artisan.

Excellent concept and execution - I like the details you have been able to show in your silhouette, it is very well done. One question I have is how these things were then scaled down for a locket or similar?

A few hours ride from Westface up the Drake River, a small delegation of Corlanders iss watering their horses at a Terraversan watermill in the early dusk. Captain Brickleton, Lord Spud, and Consul Montoya are discussing the situation, while young Baker is tending the horses. "Reports indicate that Oldis has retreated to Pamu with his forces after the defeat of Kings Port, where he has linked up with the large force of Eslandian mercenaries landed there to support him. They are still outnumbered by the Oleonese force in Kings Port, but not by a great margin." Captain Brickleton said, reiterating the tactical situation on the island. "Indeed, Captain. A very similar situation to our own in Westface: Potentially outnumbered by the Bluecoats, should they single us out!" Lord Spud exclaimed sternly. "Perhaps the honourable consul can expand on the diplomatic situation?" "Ser?!" Lord Spud repeated at Montoya. "I could swear those are Phasianus Celestiales..." Montoya muttered to himself, before being brought back to reality by Lord Spud's insistent tone. Lord Spud was not a man to ignore, and neither was their mission. "Why, yes, of course..." he said as he recollected himself. "The exact nature of the Eslandian commitment is rather... uncertain. So far, it seems to be privately funded mercenaries, with no official declaration of support for Oldis and Terraversa as of yet, nor official commitment to any war." "However, Eslandola has long held strong ties with the Archduke, and latest intelligence indicates that the Colonial Council is currently meeting to discuss further assistance." With a shrug he added: "One never knows what the outcome of these odd republican machinations will be, though." Spud considered this for a moment. "Nonetheless, while divided we are each outnumbered, united our forces would outmatch the Bluecoats by a large margin." Brickleton nodded and added: "As to our route: By avoiding the coastal roads, we should be clear of patrols and settlements occupied by the enemy. We have been provided with a map for the interior, and L'Olius ensures us that the Atwi will help us on our way. In a few days, we should be able to make it safely to Pamu." "Time is of the essense - Oldis may be tempted to accept a peace deal regaining him Kings Port, leaving us to deal with the Bluecoats alone. L'Olius. however, has made it very clear that he is not likely to abandon us in favour of a deal struck between Oldis and Oleon. There seems to be little trust between him and the Archduke..." Montoya scratched his head and concluded: "Our presence in Pamu with a message of coordination and cooperation could change Oldis' perspectives..." "As soon as the horses are watered, we shall ride on." Lord Spud declared. "And you know the way, Captain Brickleton?.." _____________________________________________ And so the Corlander expedition makes its way towards Pamu. there to meet up with Oldis and the Greencoats. To be continued! (The watermill will probably be licensed for Westface.) EDIT: By the way, I should credit Ayrlego for the base design, and Evan for his guide on that exact design which made me try it out - I like the outcome, although it takes a s%¤t-ton of bricks!

Overall great build. I really like the style of your buildings. They look connected while still each having their own architecture. Good presentation too, which really helps any build, but in particular digital ones.

Apart from naturally enjoying anything with the potential to destabilise Oleon, I really like these revolutionary builds! It's an excellent subject matter, and I think you back up great builds with excellent writing. Keep 'em coming!

This is a fun project to follow! Keep it up! Looks great so far!

I also have some ideas for CAT D and would like to join up for a collab. Specifically, my idea is to build a bridge and show how each side defends/controls traffic on their end (binding it together by a common bridge design). Perhaps some bluecoat(s) would be interested? (And others as well - we can show markets near the bridge, defences, toll posts, boarding houses, etc. I figure the bridge will be a hub of activity and communication between the two sides of the settlement) If that doesn't strike anyone else's fancy, I am also happy to join a different collab. I also certainly expect the ETTC to join in on CAT E!

Pacing around a temporary office set up in Westface, Montoya pondered the letter. He had been otherwise occupied for a long time, and to be honest, his business acumen was very limited. In addition, his man of business, Ibn al'Sayeed, had been gone on personal business for months on end, and he had normally been handling all Montoya's finances. With a determined look, he turned to his writing desk. To the Shareholders of the venerable East Terran Trading Company, As chairman of this fine company, I am honoured to call the general assembly to discuss and debate the future of the company, the excellent propositions posed by Colonel Allcock, and to welcome the new shareholders. All shareholders have equal vote in this assembly. Further, I wish to offer my resignation and suggest that the Assembly uses this opportunity to reconsider the governance structures of the company, and appoint a new body of governance. The general assembly is to be held in Westface, Terraversa in two weeks. All shareholders are invited to join us here to determine the future of the ETTC. Proposals may be presented on the day, although prior notification may be advised, should you wish other shareholders to have considered them in advance. Well met Don Isaac Montoya Chairman ETTC Attachment 1: Current shareholders: The Crown of Corrington Sir Thomas Smaugton ( @Tomsche) Micah of Wolfhaven ( @SilentWolf) Major Dirk Allcock ( @Ayrlego) Governor Aiden Coyle ( @Mike S) Viscount Chauncy Pennington ( @Scarst) Admiral Woodbrose ( @SkaForHire) Lenny Merryweather ( @CelesAurivern) Puvel ( @Puvel) John Hawksbrough ( @Fuzzy MacFuzz) Sir James Chase ( @BrickOn) Leftenant Bertram Rickard Wolf ( @Brickwolf) Don Isaac Montoya ( @Bregir) Attachment 2: New shareholders: Lord Frederic Spud @Spud The Viking Major Sir Nathanial Brickford @LM71Blackbird Captain Jonathan Brickleton @evancelt

Excellent build, sir. The base combined with the variation between trodden dirt and green lushness work really well. The difference in colour and texture near the house is next level. And while I wouldn't paint my own house lime green, I like the look of it here. Definitely a From me!

A little update: Now there is some live prey for the whalers (still need the spout of water from the blowhole)

Interesting - I did just start with a few tablescraps yesterday with snotted plates for sides. Thanks!

I found the same examples, and maybe I will regret this, but I was thinking of a slightly larger scale, so it could more or less fit with a vessel of class 4 or so.

Anybody has some ideas/examples for building whales in a large-ish scale? I am working on a whaler and would like to have a large whale to go along, specifically a sperm whale, although I can draw inspiration from other species mocs too

For some reason, I read fruit-vines. If it is a wine monopoly bonus, and you are building something that produces a different wine, that could work. If it's apple cider, I think you'll be infringing on a MAESTRO monopoly, but a cherry wine or similar concept could probably work.

I am not entirely aware what fruit-wines is, but the real question is whether you will be stretching a monopoly on wine (which I think is what you are referring to) to also cover some form of fruits. My immediate reaction is that that would be a stretch.

Nice build, and very in-character actions for the canon! I like the look of the troops, and the story is nice as always. The craters and busted down wall is well done, although I do agree removing the top tiles, at least some of them from the craters and giving them a more jagged edge might improve them a bit. One thing I note that this breach already has a very well-trodden path. Presumably, there was no part prior to the breach, but perhaps it has been used for getting supplies in and out of the city during the siege? There has been some OOC controversy about the extraction of the quiver. It is a bit of an RP grey zone that we can all learn from. On one hand, we want to allow freedom of personal storytelling, and on the other, at the base of RP is interaction. By extracting the quiver undetected, you are preventing anyone from reacting or interacting. Optimally, you would have done one of two things: Either you give your "opponent" a hook to react to, or you ask for game master input as to whether your attempts to kidnap the quiver succeeds. Hence, to avoid retconning, the court has decided that @Ross Fisher has come a little too easily around extracting the quiver. To correct this, Ross is to build a small licensable property for TER related to the secret removal of the quiver. A suggestion could be the workshop in which the copy was made, or a chapel with a secret priest hole through which the real was smuggled.

I think you are off to a good start here, mr. Babbington. I like how you have worked in some details along the sides of the vessel - the railings work well, and that you have gone for custom sails. It is nice to see these hull pieces used to good effect. In terms of presentation, it would be nice to see a proper full size shot from the side. If you don't have a good background, a fairly neutral wall or similar should allow you to show off your work better. I'd also suggest you put in some details on deck and some minifigs on all/most pictures like in your action shot. And if you have the tiles, tiling some critical areas like the studded parts of the railing can also make the whole thing look more polished. Good luck with the MRCA! May you prosper in trade!

This matter is being discussed in the proper places, and a solution is underway.

I was thinking it would be connected to Nola Mar with a coastal road, but I will leave it up to OL. As per the treaty, they have the right to build that road. As per the game OOC it doesn't really matter - Troops in Northern Silitholina would be able to move around the island as any other. (The roads are largely just for IC flavour - doesn't really have any influence on game mechanics ;))

If you want the freebuild payments, yes.

Can't say I am a big fan of these special series. I simply don't find them useful for purposes. That said, if they made a pirate or castle series, my viewpoint might well change!
