[COR - TC - CAT A] Strange Weather, Quinnsville
LM71Blackbird posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Strange Weather, Quinnsville Reports from all over the Brick Seas have been coming in about strange weather patterns and higher-than-usual losses at sea due to sudden storms. This has troubled the scientists at the Corrington Parliament of Science who have begun scrambling around for an answer to these questions. In Quinnsville, Mayor Richard Brickford has been doing what he can to assist in finding a solution. Island Tower 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Shortly after Mayor Brickford came to Quinnsville in 619, a new lighthouse was erected. The existing lighthouse (which was in sorry shape) was abandoned at the time. Island Tower 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Most recently, the structure has been renovated and turned into a weather station off the coast of Cocovia in hopes of perhaps deciphering these abnormal weather patterns. Mayor Brickford has decided to pay the keeper and scientist stationed there a visit and see what information is available to relay back to King's Harbour. Island Tower 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr With the help of a young apprentice (who is slightly apprehensive about the whole matter), Tobias Winterbottom leads the charting of the weather, high in the tower. They are making use of kites in order to chart wind direction and the force of the wind. Mr. Winterbottom was originally in Brickford Landing documenting the flora and fauna of the island, but when the Lotii war broke out on El Oleonda, he was on the first ship out to safer settlements. Island Tower 4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr With the weather station now in full use, they are hopeful that something useful will be discovered and Quinnsville and the rest of the Brick Seas can prepare for it. ---------------------------------- My submission for Category A of the Transition Challenge. C&C is welcome and appreciated. If there are no objections, I'll probably license as a medium artisan at some point. -

No shiny gold..., but we don't give up! April 22, 623 Dear Diary. The abandoned mine contains traces of salt. This also seems to have some value! April 23, 623 Dear Diary. We have done further investigation. The tracks led us through a maze of caves to the coast. Here we came across some beautiful natural salt pans. April 30, 623 Dear Diary. We have invited renowned architect Sir Peter Nash, Baron of Swanley, to Quinnsville. He made a design for our workshop and office. May 14, 623 Dear Diary. Today we said goodbye to Peter. We are very satisfied with his work! Jolly and I hope to start a great business in Quinnsville with this salt mine! --- After my prospecting build, this is the salt mine build on Quinnsville!

Settlement, Quinnsville, Cocovia, Corrington (Era II)
LM71Blackbird posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

He was Sailing under both the flag of the Empire of Corrington, as well as the MAESTRO trade company which still holds a slight presence in the settlement. Mayor Smaugton contributed to much of the town's progress, but sadly, the Pearl of Cocovia had not seen much development since the retirement and mysterious disappearance of it's beloved mayor. Fortunately, one Richard Brickford, volunteered to step in and nurse the abandoned settlement back to health. Now under his leadership Quinnsville has quickly risen to prominence on Cocovia and is a flourishing settlement on the verge of becoming one of the few Grand Cities of Corrington.

[COR - FB - Prospecting] Fortune Hunter Mad Morgan, Quinnsville
Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
From Mad Morgan's diary, Professional Fortune Hunter February 14, 623, Dear Diary. Today I left Fiorentia, the island of flowers. My long journey across the sea has begun, in search of happiness. Unfortunately, my allergy to flowers made it impossible to live here any longer. February 21, 623, Dear Diary. Fighted with a shark today. Another normal day at sea... February 28, 623, Dear Diary. Today I had to face a heavy storm on the West Prio Sea. Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my beloved vessel 'Rubber Duck'. I washed up on Sabre Island. February 29, 623, Dear Diary. People sometimes say I'm a bit 'mad', but just today I met a strange chap in Poppy Port. His name is Jolly Jones. He is a lonely wolf at sea. He claims that he once served under the infamous Captain Blackbeard. I'm going to get to know him more closely. March 17, 623, Dear Diary. I almost forgot about you. Sorry about this. I think I became friends with Jolly Jones. Recently he even expressed his appreciation for Corrington! Weird pirate, I told you. March 31, 623, Dear Diary. Today, after a few glasses of rum, Jolly Jones spoke about the rumors of valuable minerals found on Cocovia. If I was interested in pursuing new adventures... I said to sleep on it. April 1, 623, Dear Diary. I'm going on an adventure. No, it's not a joke. April 12, 623, Dear Diary. Our ship is finished. Well, ship. It is a raft with which we hope to cross the Cocovia Sea. Fingers crossed. April 19, 623, Dear Diary. We're well on our way. In the distance we see Cocovia. After a game of rock - paper - scissors we decided to travel to Quinnsville. April 20, 623, Dear Diary. Today we set foot on land. Here we immediately found an abandoned mine. We wonder if the previous fortune hunters have left something for us. You will hear from me soon!

27th of February, 623 Outside Quinnsville Cocovia To the Mayor of Quinnsville Richard Brickford, Dear sir, It is with great pleasure that I can report the completion of the shaft mine and that the gold vein has been found rich. The miners are currently working on two levels where the ore is plentiful. The setup is ready to dig deeper, should it be necessary. I expect the first shipment of ore to be dispatched early next week. Best regards Chester Doyle Overseer, Quinnsville Gold Mine The Quinnsville gold mine by Christian West, on Flickr

[COR - FB] New Gunboat for Quinnsville, HMS Growler
LM71Blackbird posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
HMS Growler Quinnsville has been very successful with it's gunboat campaign in the Sea of Thieves. The brave sailors out of the large settlement have captured the Feared Pirate Bluebeard, captured several pirate ships and sunk or damaged as many more. That is why Mayor Brickford has commissioned another powerful vessel to be launched out of the Quinnsville Shipyards. Gunboat 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr The HMS Growler will take it's place alongside the other gunboats in Quinnsville's arsenal to make sure the settlement continues to stay well defended against any attack. Gunboat 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr ---------------------------------------------------------- A gunboat to replace one that was sunk in a fog many MRCA's ago. I can't say I'm fully happy with how the sail turned out, but I like the overall look of it fully manned. C&C are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking!

[COR - tMRCA Result] Cannon Fire in the Fog
LM71Blackbird posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
It was a long patrol for the Quinnsville Gunboats. When a thick fog started to roll in, the commanders decided that it was time to pull into port. In the fog, the gunboats began to fire the small deck guns aboard to keep track of each other. 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr One commander thought he heard an extra shot in the fog (an echo perhaps) and in a panic ordered the large cannon aboard to be fired, striking an innocent merchant vessel! 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr After locating the vessel 'Vengeance of the Desert', in the ensuing confusion the gunboats collided with one another. QV Gunboat No.3 was a lost cause, and No.2 was in rough shape. With the innocent merchant ship being in the best shape of them all, they cast a rope and towed into port. The commanders knew they'd be scrubbing the poop deck for this one... 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Once Mayor Richard Brickford got word of what happened, he immediately had the ship taken to the Quinnsville shipyards for a full refit at no charge. He had the crew put up at the local ETWC Inn and paid for the men to have a night of drinking at the Green Dragon Tavern. qv 4.0 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr By daybreak, after round the clock work, the 'Vengeance of the Desert' was seaworthy once again. After trading what goods were not damaged and filling the hold, Mayor Brickford personally saw them off with bellies full and purses bursting. (300 Dbs for the mistake). ----------------------------------------------- In an effort to keep the peace and as a gesture of good faith, the 'Vengeance of the Desert' is returned to @omnihash_cz and a balance of 300 Dbs is transferred to your account for any inconvenience. -
Location: Quinnsville Type: Medium Educational Quinnsville had grown quickly over the last few years, and with the establishment of the University of Quinnsville in 619, the students were already crowded on the campus. Fortunately, a grant by a mysterious benefactor had allowed them to build a new library to help ease some of the campus's crowding issues. Today however, someone had illegally parked a small horse drawn cart in front of the main entrance. As Campus security ticketed the cart, an official Corrish Messenger walked towards the library... "So after a party last year, I tell Mayor Brickwood that the library in the main building was too small. Like, you could barely haul kegs through some of the doors. Sure you could get them through the main doors, but like, into the library? It was just too tight a corridor." Said the Count to his loyal accountant Darby. "And I tell him that the WTC could fix the problem with a WTC-Brand hammer, and about 15 minutes. But apparently, the "construction" zoning "laws" in this 'town' prohibit it." Continued the Count, gesturing wildly. "Just please tell me why we're in Quinnsville." Said Darby, understandably exasperated. "Look over there." Said the Count, pointing to a carved sandstone head. "So I tell him that if we can't make the library doors bigger, than we just need a separate library to hold keg parties in." Said the Count. "And he gets annoyed, and starts going off about how that's not at all what university libraries are for." Continued the Count. "Anyways, I say, 'Sir,. You need a party library, I'll buy, do you want a red one or a grey one? He kinda scowls at me, but I took that as permission to fund the construction of a new, better, library with appropriate doors for moving large bottles through. Oh, and I picked grey." Darby looked at a small bust of an unidentifiable head. "They did get my hair wrong." Said the Count, no less enthused. "But true art resists interpretation." "Someone chipped the 'o' off on your title, Count" said Darby, dryly. The two were interrupted by a formal messenger. "Count Mesabi of Debonshire, you have a formal correspondence from the Crown of Corrington." "Thank you gentlemen. The Queen thanks you for your service." Said the Count in a suspiciously formal tone. "Darby, we must get going, we are needed in a formal capacity." Without a moments hesitation, the Count power-walked outside, leaving Darby and the messengers behind. "Count, what's going on?" yelled Darby, hurrying after him. "We have work to do!" the Count said, mounted the horse, and untied it from the post. Darby hurried after him. "The last time we had 'work' to do, I was on a boat in the south for over a year!" he muttered. FIN Thanks for viewing my build! I've been meaning to do an educational build in Quinnsville since @lm71blackbird put out that amazing university build about a year ago, but I never got around to it until now. The build went through a few iterations. Originally the second floor was far more plain, and was essentially white paneling. Fortunately, @Ayrlego gave me some great ideas, including setting the paneling in half a tile, which really made it pop in my opinion. This build is a GOC build, task 5. @Bregir, @Ayrlego , @Captain Dee , @SilentWolf As for the story, no harm intended towards Quinnsville, I always like seeing your settlement grow LM71, and I enjoy being a part of it. Please understand any misnaming, is just me having the Count be rude IC. What is in the Count's mysterious note from the crown? We'll see! (hint, I love Corrington!) Shots without figures

A Show of Resilience The lose of the mighty HMS Resilience was a hard blow to the moral of Her Majesty's Royal Navy. The devastating defeat to the Loti warships in a failed naval encounter resulted in one ship captured and the Lightning - which once defeated a fleet of 3 black-flag pirate vessels singlehandedly - being set ablaze and sent to depths of the New Haven Sea. The only solace was in the destruction of the Resilience by a small crew aboard a fireship. 20200921_183522 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Today, Mayor Brickford is out on one of the many piers of Quinnsville's always busy harbor with Captain James Earling watching through a spyglass the newly commissioned Ships of the Royal Navy, the HMS Indomitable and the HMS Thunderclap. May Poseidon grant them protection as they sail under the flag of Corrington and for the Queen! ----------------------------------------- A small Sistership build to use one of the two free sistership licenses that Corrington has won during Challenge III and to show off my new bearskin shakos!

Waterfront Cooperage As Quinnsville develops into a larger trading hub, more and more diverse tradesmen are setting up shop in the City. The most recent addition to the already busy waterfront is a Cooper and his apprentice. Cooperage 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr While the master cooper does his craft inside, his apprentice busily cuts wood to the the right length for various size barrels.

[COR - FB - Royal Property] Quinnsville Cathedral
LM71Blackbird posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Quinnsville Cathedral For far to long the ever growing city of Quinnsville has been without a compass for religious direction. Since it's founding by Sir Smaugton, it has been riddled with gambling hubs and places of debauchery. Furthermore, Oleon's Order of the Faith has seen rapid expansion as far east as Mesabi Landing and possibly even further under the guidance of Canon Francois. The more relaxed values of the Faith that belong to The Church of Corrington however, can not be soon forgotten. The religious structure set up by generations before will not soon be forgotten in Quinnsville with the completed construction of a brand new Royal Cathedral within the city limits. 4.1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr The new cathedral will serve many functions in the city aside from a religious hub. It will be a place for the locals to gather and socialize with one another and a safe haven to congregate in the event of a raid as the church was built far enough away from the water as to be out of cannon range. 4.3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Mayor Brickford and his wife are in attendance for the first mass in the Cathedral. He is very grateful for the bishop and his priests coming all the way from the Corrington mainland in order to make this new endeavor in a success in the isles. 4.4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr With the high vaulted ceilings the beautiful and ornate organ will certainly be the talking point of every week. With the doors to the building open, you can almost hear the breathtaking notes from the harbour on a slow day. You can most certainly hear the church bells every hour however, whether you want to or not! 4.5 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Surely many more stupendous things are in store for Quinnsville's future! ---------------------------------------------------- At long last I have finally built a Royal property for Quinnsville so it can jump to the next level! I have gone through many of ideas and and started a lot of builds before deciding on building a Cathedral. Several reasons were considered when building this. Beside the couple of obvious ones to boost Quinnsville, not much has been written on the religions of many of the nations in BoBs. Mostly with good reason, but as Corrington is a England type country, a well structured church organization is something I feel is in order, so I took some license to do so. Now on to technical stuff! I intend to license this as a Royal Arts & Culture build upon approval from leadership. The Cathedral consists of approx. 14.5k bricks and has a baseplate footprint of 13,824 studs, so it most certainly surpasses the 10k stud minimum. It does feature an interior with pews and an organ. The way I created the stained glass windows does however prevent me from doing a top down interior render. For top down viewing of the whole build though, please check the spoiler below. C&c are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking! -

"The time has come for Quinnsville to put it's best effort forward." "You are most certainly correct Mayor. With all the unrest in the farthest extents of the colonies, there is no better time then the present to launch more ships." "Launch more ships indeed! And the Bigger the better as well.

Shot Tower With all the talk about war with the Lotus Kingdom and the constant threat from the Sea Rats, the always advancing City of Quinnsville has taken it upon itself to begin full-scale production of various munitions for the Corrish settlements throughout the New World. The first of such establishments is a shot tower that has been constructed on the outskirts of the city. Shot Tower 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr First, the lead is turned molten and then dropped from the top of the tower. On the journey down it becomes spherical before landing into a collection container filled with water. Shot Tower 4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Then the lead balls are inspected for roundness and then sorted by caliber. Shot Tower 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Today, both Mayor Brickford and Major Brickford are visiting the Shot tower to observe the process and find out if it was a wise decision to construct such a larger contraption! Shot Tower 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr After the shot has been confirmed to be of sufficient roundness, some samples are tested in the shooting gallery behind the tower. Mayor Brickford always takes the opportunity to fire a musket and relive the glory days in the Royal Army of Her Majesty. Shot Tower 6 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr -------------------------------------------------------- My newest and biggest real brick build for BoBs has arrived! I recently got some Bricklink orders and really wanted to make something round and I figure a shot tower would be a fitting build! Some inspiration goes to @Darnok, for I wouldn't even know about a shot tower if it wasn't for his own rendition of one. This will be licensed as a large factory.

These are the best marksman that Cocovia has to offer. They are easily distinguished from the Corrington Regulars due to their green coats and dark trousers. This allows them to remain unseen until they choose to fire upon an unsuspecting enemy!

Also, I just really enjoy build military troops. C&C are welcome, but please keep in mind these builds are just to show the troops for licensing purposes. -
Their offices in Quinnsville had just recently been set up properly, but the WTC had already establish local business opportunities some time ago. The island of Cocovia was known for its fertile grounds, especially for coffee and cocoa, so it seemed natural to claim some new land from the jungle for an agricultural venture. With cocoa already grown on a large plantation nearby, and another one near King's Harbour, it had been decided to go for coffee. Highly profitable, coffee was still yet to be grown in commercial quantities in Corrington - so the WTC might have a first mover advantage on the market! Having... acquired... the necessary seeds from an ETTC research site in King's Harbour, the first coffee trees were growing already, while parts of the plantation were still in the process of being set up. Fighting back the jungle proved to be easier said than done! .. The local WTC Operator was discussing the progress with the plantations foreman: "We need to get this up and running as soon as possible. I promised results to Mr. Mordo, and I do not plan to disappoint him." "But sir, I need more men. The conditions here are tough, and even then the trees only grow so fast. It will take time, no matter what." "I guess. Still, hasten your efforts. The sooner we can sell overpriced coffee to gullible minifigs, the better." "Will do, sir. By the way, what is it with all the gold?" "We are a royal trade company after all! It also helps with moving our income around. For tax purposes, you know. The last thing we want is to pay the Crown..." ================================= Licensed as a medium plantation in Quinnsville. A wide shot of the full build: One more aerial view: Since this is for the GoC-initiative, a shoutout to @Ayrlego, @Bregir, @Captain Dee and @SilentWolf. If possible I would really appreciate a quick response if this build is fine, since it takes quite a bit of room, and I fear our cats might soon find it... interesting. I was unable to pick coffee as a category when licensing this, which I found very odd (I picked "Tropical Fruit" instead, which coffee technical is). An oversight in the licensing form? This also might call for an update of the island bonus list. As always, C&C are appreciated, thanks for watching!

Saltpeter Mine Many Months ago, the Clerks in the Colonial Ministry found what appeared to be some lost prospecting samples from Quinnsville dated from May 616! Upon further inspection, it was made known to be of a rare saltpeter deposit. Namely the first in all of the New World. Because of the importance of such a discovery and with the help of the WTC now operating in Quinnsville, a mine was set up to extract this ore from the depths of Cocovia! saltpeter mine 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr One of several veins found, here in the corner of a cliff face, a mine shaft has begun to take shape with the help of ever useful gunpowder and hand tools.

[GoC] Northern Garrison Today, mayor Richard Brickford was making the trek up to one of the garrisons of the Quinnsville Fusiliers. It was located on a northern section of what is known as the Fist. Richard was going up to meet with the garrison commander. The mayor was accompanied by a few regulars that were heading up to relieve the currently stationed regulars. The men were cooking up a fine lunch of roasted fish before they would accompany the mayor back into town. Up on the roof, a roofer was replacing a few damaged shingles. Island weather can be rough on building at times. The Garrison commander was happy to see the mayor and even happier to report that everything was operating smoothly in the Northern reaches of Quinnsville. ------------------------------------- Interior pics in the spoiler! My second entry for the Redcoats Rule! GoC project. I had quite a lot of fun building this one. This is a first time for the roof design and angled building style for me. C&C are welcome and apprecieated and thanks for looking! @Bregir @Ayrlego @Captain Dee @SilentWolf

[januari MCRA] Military exercise - Quinnsville vs Derr
Bart posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
To: Mayor Richard Brickford, Quinnsville, Cocovia @LM71Blackbird And: Governor Jonathan Cooke, King's Harbour, Cocovia @Bregir From: Cathy Derr, captaining the Narwal, port of Fatu Hiva, île d'Or 20 December 618 My dear lords, It has come to my attention that the Mayor would like to test the defences of the Large Town Quinnsville. I would like to take that challenge as my men and woman of the Derr's expeditionary light infantry and the crew of my barque Narwal are in need of some training. I can attempt a raid on your town in the coming month, with your permission of course. But I will not disclose the exact date of my arrival on your shores as to make it a better surprise. Also I will not fire life shots, my bullets and cannonballs will be replaced with yellow paint cartridges as to indicate a hit, but not make real damage. I hope you will take similar arrangements. I look forward to your reply as to agree upon the details. Fair winds, Cathy Derr, act.Capt. of the Narwal, -
Dockside Roper On a bustling section of the Quinnsville pier is the shop of one of the local ropers. Rope-maker 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr The two men that run the shop are never in need of customers. Rope-maker 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr As fast as one can make the rope, Rope-maker 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr someone comes in and buys it all! Rope-maker 4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr I guess that's what you get when you make some of the finest quality rope on all of Cocovia! ------------------------------------------ A few more shots of the build: ----------------------------------------- This will be a medium Artisan for Quinnsville. Only a few more builds before Quinnsville will reach Large City Status! As always, C&C are welcome and apprecieated and thanks for looking!

Marine Surveyor On the docks of Quinnsville's busy harbor, is the office of the marine surveyor. QV 2.1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr They are in charge of checking the goods and state of the smaller vessels and in unison with the harbor master keep the docks running smoothly. It takes great skill to perform this job so the harbor doesn't become a complete mess! ----------------------------------- As my first build in quite some time, I just wanted to do something simple. This will be licensed as a Large Commerce in Quinnsville for December. This isn't my best or most elaborate work but, as always, C&C are welcome and apprecieated and thanks for looking!
