[ESL-MTF] Bardo's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Captain Braunsfeld posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Bardo has a famous brass band: Bardo's Lonely Hearts Club Band must have been around for some twenty years now. .. but they are still guaranteed to raise a smile ... or two. Here you can see these guys performing for the Musician’s Talent Fair. -
Here is my third free-build for this month, so I kindly ask for approvals from Corrington, Oleon and the much-feared Sea Rats. Little Shop of Parrots I have shown some Pontelli houses before, but, of course, in Eslandola everything is about commerce! With the size of fleets constantly expanding, the growing number of captains is triggering an extremely high demand for parrots. Percy, the parrotmonger, is the first address in Pontelli if you are looking for a Norwegian Blue. You can easily find him: Main road 5, open from 9 - 6 every day, except for Sundays. C&C & approvals welcome!

Daylight come and I wanna go home! Today I present to you: Captain Tallyman and his "Banana Boat". Well, the Banana Boat may not be the most beautiful ship that has ever sailed the fourteen seas and her figurehead (a banana ) is often mocked at in harbour inns - but Captain Tallyman simply laughs along. He knows that his yellow freight will be paid for with golden coins - and any observer will quickly notice that Tallyman is able to buy himself a quite impressive lantern! But he keeps a low profile and enjoys his life as the fastest banana trader of Eslandola. Guided by his able and cunning first mate Mr. Monkey, the "Banana Boat" is known in most ports. C&C welcome!

Ladies & Gentlemen, tonight, I proudly present: Sir Archibald's Flying Lucilla - a modern airship. Powered by two steam motors the airship is traveling at incredible speed! Sir Archibald is accompanied by a brave crew: ... and the "Flying Lucilla" is well-armed: This airship is based on the Ninjago 70603 Zeppelin (which unfortunately does not come with 8 but only with 7 balloon pieces...)

Here comes a dirigible that is slightly larger than the previous MOCs: Lady Lacelove's Armored Airship I took some basic inspiration from the "sea cow", which you can see in some parts. Here's the proud owner of this mighty airship: The ship is modular: The interior is as modern as it can be: .. and you can see parts of the overall machinery: I hope you like this MOC.

Category B: Strike your Colors Short version: Furious sea battle south of Nelissa.. ... victory for Eslandola! Long version: Captain Enrico Sombrero Verde gazed through his spyglass trying to penetrate the combination of morning mist and cannon smoke that lay between the battling two ships. They had been surprised by the attacker initially, but the long and hard training of the crew had paid off and they had quickly been able to fire back. The "Stubborn Stern" had sent several broadsides into the hull of the attacking ship and Enrico could tell that the enemy was not doing well anymore. "Under which flag are they sailing", the first officer yelled. "I think it is black", Enrico shouted back just before another broadside was fired. "Then they must be pirates", the first officer mumbled to himself. Captain Verde looked again. It was difficult to identify the enemy's flag as the sun had got up behind the other ship. "It could be blue", he pondered, which would mean Oleon. "It's a red flag", the first mate cried. "They are fighting for Corrington!" Astonished, the captain raised the telescope once more, when suddenly a giant explosion tore the enemy ship apart - and the shock wave blew Enrico from his feet. "We must have hit the powder magazine...", Enrico mused. When he got up to his feet the remains of the other ship were already sinking fast. So it was a victory - a clear victory for Eslandola. But against whom? Ahoy!

If you have ever wondered how it looks like, when I'm taking my pictures of my builds for BoBS: This is the room that I am currently sitting in as I am typing this. You can see one of the wonderful Pontelli houses and a fast and fine ship. (This is not meant to count as free-build, etc., don't worry.) Have a nice weekend.

[MOC] [Steampunk] Sir Archibald's Mechanical Elephant
Captain Braunsfeld posted a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
When I saw that Chima Elephant set coming out, it was immediately clear to me what I had to build out of it: "Sir Archibald's Wonderous Wandering Mechanical Steam Elephant" The Steam Elephant allows comfortable travel through all kinds of terrain. Additionally, it is well-armed. Inside the Elephant the modern traveller will find a luxurious sofa and a grammophone, accompanied with a great record collection. Larger (and more) pictures can be found on flickr. (And, yes, I have read Jules Verne. Many times.) :sweet: C&C welcome! Captain Braunsfeld goes Steampunk: 1. New try at Steampunk Figbarf 2.

Today I proudly present: "Dr. Teslisons Amazing Airship" This is the Doctor himself: His lovely wife Ada Teslison can be found at the airship's cannon: A glance at the machinery: The ship is modular - here's a view of Dr. Teslison's cabin: I have experimented with a blue background but in the end I preferred the black one.

This old house was home and comfort As we fought the storms of life... It is, in fact, one of the finer buildings of Pontelli - and currently there is a little festivity going on. Captain Enrico Sombrero Verde is paying a visit and so is Colonel Brickinson. The building is famous for its roof fountains: The building is well guarded by Eslandolean Elite Guards: As this is my third Free-Build thi smonth, I need to ask for your kind approval. C&C welcome!

A strange mop-like being has come to earth: ... luckily it seems to be more cute than evil

It's time to play the music It's time to light the lights: In their search for gold, the brave Eslandoleans were able to open and run a copper mine (hooray!) As you might wonder why that coppery stuff is looking greenish: copper ore is likely to look like that. Under control of "Copper Harley" (left) Elandoleananan mining experts are busily exploiting the site. C&C welcome!

I will continue with my presentation of spectacular Eslandolean buildings in Pontelli: Little Shop of Fish Although this is such a huge MOC you will find no additional pics on flickr...

[ESL-FB1] Our House ... in the Middle of Pontelli
Captain Braunsfeld posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
The house of Colonel William Oswald Brickinson, in the middle of Pontelli, was his castle and his keep. In the evening sun you can also see Lady Amy Clara Brickinson. They got married about a year ago. (The house looks actually much nicer in reality ... doesn't quite come across in the pictures.) -
[ESL-FB] Take a bad ship ... and make it better
Captain Braunsfeld posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
It is time to show the East Trade Wind Company sailing! And here she is: The Stubborn Stern. She is sailing under the command of Captain Enrico Sombrero Verde. There she is sailing away .. and back again I am very happy about the new lantern design: Builder's note: While searching for the harbour I wanted to work on I found a very old and very black ship of mine (with no name). It was built in a style that I wouldn't do anymore so I was about to disassemble the model, when I thought I should give it a chance. Because that ship had been build with the simple goal to give the captain his "walkway" (I had not done this on another ship). So the goal was to leave the basics as they were but to add details and refinements to make the ship look better. Consequently a lot of yellow was added and many a curved slope. Then the old red-white colour scheme was modified to green-white. I've added cannons and the small boat at the stern. And the custom flag. C&C welcome -
The Algus Saga - Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
Captain Braunsfeld posted a topic in Guilds of Historica
... let's celebrate! The Algus have turned into the "melted beyond". Celebrations throughout Mitgardia continue. Duke Fasel and the Duchess Faseline (right) are celebrating the famous magic rabbit gloves that allow thaumaturgical control of the Mitgardian Dragon (left). Rabbit supporters and friends have been invited. (The story so far) ... and Colonel Samuel Marron appears with flowers as the special guest of the evening! In the "Captain Braunsfeld's part of the Algus Saga" you are here: Part 11 1) The Beacon of Bruns Fall 2) Defending the North 3) Southern Comfort 4) Help from a Nobleman 5) Two Minor Victories 6) Water does not stop them! 7) What's that coming over the hill? 8) Where the Rainbow Spell came from 9) AppleCalypse Now! (incl. "Walk like an Algussian") 10) The Victory Party 11) Celebrate Good Times, Come On! (That is probably enough of this ...) C&C welcome! -
The Algus have been defeated. Time for happiness and a victory party! Hosted by Duke Fasel, the party was a huge success. The Kaliphlinnian support was well remembered. A splendid time for all. All the best for 2016!

The islanders of the new territories (discovered by brave Eslandolian sailors) are quite industrious. Their key profession is parrot-painting (one way to make a living as an islander...) As it stands, all parrots on the island are actually born with grey plumage. Only dedicated care and craftsmenship allow for the wonderful colours that we are so fond of. The work is usually performed by all family members with the mother starting the first red coating, the children adding more colour, before the father will be applying the final touches, using several colours, depending on bird type. By the way, the other key profession on the island is monkey-statue-making. But that is a different story. A decently skilled family can produce up to twenty parrots per day. You can find more pictures on bricksafe.

After a dangerous journey Colonel Brickinson finally sets foot on a newly found island. For Eslandola, for King and Gold ... and Country ... and Gold! Aided by his biograph Bill Spillwine, Colonel Brickinson records every second of his first encounter with Huarriu, the leader of the strange islander tribe. Apparently the arriving Eslandolands had disturbed a secret ritual in which the strange statue was obviously involved. Bill Spillwine already had a title for the story: Brave New World. Would this island hold treasures for Eslandola? Better pictures can be found on bricksafe.

Many people have asked what the monkeys would be doing for Christmas. They are celebrating:

Victory is ours! Long and hard was the fight against the Algus. Many different ways were conceived to beat them but none really worked totally well - until today. Until Samuel Marron realized that all the different tactics had to be combined! You need the fire of the Mitgardian Dragon.... ("I love the smell of dragon fire in the morning") ... guided by magic rabbit gloves... ... with the helpful addition of burning Kaliphlinian oil... .. the magic of the Rainbow Spell ... .. and the freshness of the Mitgardian apple barrage... .. to defeat the Algus! And so it came that in the Battle of Green Field the Algus were utterly destroyed. None of them escaped. Under the force of the combined Mitgardian attack the power of the Algus waned, the cold disappeared, their snow melted, their bodies dissolved. So, the weather forecast was bad ... for the Algus. The End. Larger versions on flickr. There is a prequel showing where the Rainbow Spell came from. And there is a sequel showing the victory party. C&C welcome! One addition: As we have to show how the Algus change the weather, here is "WALK LIKE AN ALGUSSIAN": In the "Captain Braunsfeld's part of the Algus Saga" you are here: Part 9 1) The Beacon of Bruns Fall 2) Defending the North 3) Southern Comfort 4) Help from a Nobleman 5) Two Minor Victories 6) Water does not stop them! 7) What's that coming over the hill? 8) Where the Rainbow Spell came from 9) AppleCalypse Now! 10) The Victory Party

The Algus Saga - Where the Rainbow Spell came from
Captain Braunsfeld posted a topic in Guilds of Historica
This is a prequel to the final battle with the Algus and the MOC explains how the Mitgardians came into possession of the Rainbow Spell. On the basis of good diplomatic connections a messenger from the South brought a surprise... It was a scroll. A magic spell. A spell that would work against creatures of the cold. Called "The Rainbow Spell". Suddenly there was hope! In the "Captain Braunsfeld's part of the Algus Saga" you are here: Part 8 1) The Beacon of Bruns Fall 2) Defending the North 3) Southern Comfort 4) Help from a Nobleman 5) Two Minor Victories 6) Water does not stop them! 7) What's that coming over the hill? 8) Where the Rainbow Spell came from 9) AppleCalypse Now! -
