Captain Braunsfeld

Thanks Somebody has pointed me to those Unikitty bases. Otherwise I find those kitties pretty useless, but the bases make nice clouds. I am happy to hear that. Thanks. I am not sure about the "always" as there were other scenes in Pontelli (like Asma April falling to her death) .... Yepp, try for yourself. Thank you Thanks for the kind feedback. As for the holidays - I have to go back to work tomorrow

In the summertime when the weather is hot you can find Pontelli's people going for a decent swim in the sea: Some people are buying over-priced cookies... .. some are challenged with their sandcastle... .... but life's for livin', that is their philosophy... Pls note the fashionable parasols. (inspired by Toskany where we found amazingly turqoise water at a wonderful beach - we assume some chalk to be the cause of the fantastic colour)

I have no problems with that at all. I don't think I have a monopoly on fishing natives Thanks. Well, a fish trading post would have to have some fish, right? (and there is a custom monkey in the background eating a banana)

Thanks Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't really aware of the unikitty stuff. Well, they are clouds. But how can I break this to my custom made clouds? Thanks. This is the monkey in the background: You've built something similar? Can you post the link? I have not been able to find the entry.

Pls. behold my entry for Cat A: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/163448-era-ii-challenge-ii-cat-a-fish-trading-post-on-île-dor/

A group of Eslandolean mercenaries has arrived on Île d'Or.  A bit tired of their journey, but curious about what they will find out. And attracted by the smell of smoked salmon. They are visiting the islanders who are running a fish trading post at the seashore ("Sam's Salmons"). The chief "Rum'Or" is known to be knowledgable about things going on on the island. The fish is usually fresh... ... the chief Rum'Or is the deal maker... ... crabs can be bought too ... .. and they got a totem for marketing purposes. This is what it looks like before our heroes have arrived: I forgot to introduce the mercenaries, who are busily hacking their way through the undergrowth: Swash Buckler. A well-known Pontellian sabre-fighter with an Errol Flynn-like smile (if you know that I mean). Scarlett Pontellinova Also known as the black widow of Pontelli. Ram Brandt He used to sit as a model for Pontellian painters in his spare time. .. and last but not least: Clara Brickinson, sister to Colonel Brickinson. And what did they find out about the terror going on in the jungle? Stay tuned!

Nice build, keep it up! As to football: I think everything after the confed cup was "poor". We just hoped that they would miraculously return to form once the tournament started...

Great little fortification with fine custom cannons/guns.

I agree Yepp, thanks All is well that ends well. The roof needs a bit more of stability, to bed honest. It was not a choice - the monkey had.told him to do so. 🐵

This positive feedback is encouraging. Let's see where the next story could take us. Maybe something with blue coats could be interesting

Definitely. Every Thursday you get frikandels!. Thank you. Actually, Captain Blofeld is from Corrington. Most protagonists of the story are from Corrington. One is a sea rat, of course.

(Previous storyline of The Secret of the Eight Provinces ended here) Epilogue: After the adventures around the Secret of the Eight Provinces Captain Blofeld has opened a gourmet restaurant close to where the ship had sunk and the treasure had been found. He is enjoying customers from all over the known world. Most of the meals are served in Oleon style (the chef is from Breshaun). The wines are also of highest quality. Families enjoy to get there and have a nice meal while the children are playing with the remains of the "Eight Provinces". Captain Blofeld is a happy man indeed. [I think I have introduced a new variation of those nice roofs.)

Thanks - they probably cannot afford an extravagant statue Fine that you agree about the Pontellian idea of modesty. (that rhymes)

Yes, it has been fun! I am working on some epilogue...
