Saga of the Sea Rats, Volume 1: Piraat Rhys in Bastion Previous: Antigone's Fury Next: A beacon in the night.... |~+=@&@=+~|~+=@&@=+~|~+=@&@=+~| Log Entry January 616 10 sea miles East of Granoleon Capt. Rhys Flaidd DeTaillefer Fortune has shined upon us in our trade voyage....we depart Granoleon with 2 chests of gold and a variety of goods... Training the apprentice on Flickr Goods from the trade run on Flickr As Tzomo has proved an invaluable crewman...I decided to let him try his hand at the helm.... Tzomo at the helm on Flickr "Don't let her push you around....the vessel longs for you to command her..." "Um.......but......shouldn't I..." "Don't worry, just feel the motion of the ship through the wheel...." Then there was a horrible scraping sound........... Sandbar.... on Flickr "Look! Jellyfish!" Jellyfish! on Flickr "Don't worry, Tzomo, it happens to the best of us..." "We probably should've left at high tide with Alois and the others, rather than having three more rounds...." "I'm sure the Flotilla will wait for us....we'll see them in the morning..." =============================== Thanks for visiting!

I use photobucket sometimes....that's where you will have to resize the images before you upload to Photobucket, then you can just use the straight link. One advantage with Flickr is stats (not sure if that's only for pro accounts or not) but allows you to see how many views each image gets and where they are being referred from.

If using Flickr to host, select the "share" option....the little twisted arrow at bottom right corner of image.....they you can choose and option for size and it provides a copy/paste link with all the url stuff .....after pating to your post, you can "preview post" to get the image to load and see how it looks....I usually go for the option closest to 800x600 for freebuild posts....150x150 works well for little "character speaking" images.... If you are hosting on a site that does not provide such and option, you can resize your images in Paint or Photoshop and upload a smaller version.

Any word on the February MCRA port list? Did I miss it somewhere....or is it the same as the January list?

Correct, currently unlicensed until I have the funds....when that happens I will post a FreeBuild of the transfer of "Le Dindon" to Captain Tzomo, and Captain Rhys will take over Antigone's Fury...

Nice flag! I've been diddling around with a brickbuilt Sea Rats flag as well....

Welcome to the Nest 'o' Thieves! Nice Guns!!

Welcome to town!

Beautiful vessel! Very clean deck....I love those pearl gold arches/bows on the cabin as well!

Sweet Raft.....beautiful river scene...and NICE GOATS!!!!! Seriously...I am always conflicted everytime I see those damn goats in a build....MUST GO BUY!!!! They are awesome!

Thanks so much, everyone.....Still considering adding move Jib sails...so there may yet be a slight update...

Thanks so much! Actually....not attached at all, it's more of a "loose pile" and is very tricky....lol Be VERY careful with it....I barely nudged it a couple of times and they flew everywhere!

Welcome to the Nest!

The bomb is da bomb! lol Awesome work, sir!

Our LUG (CoWLUG....or Colorado and Wyoming LUG) participates in a yearly model railroad display and sale event called "Rails in the Rockies" (12-14 February 2016) held in Estes Park, Colorado.....this year, our theme was "Islands" with ships and sea creatures on the rails as the actual "trains." My display was originally going to be a "Ninja Island," but with all the builds I had done already for BoBS, I decided a "Ninja/Pirate" island was better! So.....with out further delay....the Sea Rats at 7500 feet! BoBS at Rails in the Rockies by Christopher Briggs, on Flickr The Glassblower's Shop got an actual entrance and roof.....

BoBS at Rails in the Rockies by Christopher Briggs, on Flickr The "Dojo" was originally supposed to be a modified version of the "Temple of Airjitsu," but I never got around to buying it in time....so, this was made with Bricklink parts and the "Ninjago City" set.... Dojo - Rails in the Rockies 2016 by Christopher Briggs, on Flickr The path between the shrines... Rails in the Rockies 2016 by Christopher Briggs, on Flickr Everyone seemed to really enjoy it...despite the fact that it was in no way "train related!".....lol ================================ Thanks for visiting!

Very nice! I am curious, as I am working on a shipyard as well.....is it considered "Factory" or "Artisan" -or- would a shipyard be part of the "Shipwright" profession stuff to come?

ROFLMAO!!!

"Oh no dey ditn't....!" Yay! Pirate's can haz cannons! They're picking up on the socialist leanings of the DeTaillefer clan...."Through work comes power!" We Piraat's watch each other's backs......Arrrrgh! (Mostly....)

Looks like they mention NMRA on their site....it's mainly Z, N, HO, S, O...etc...stuff, we are the only LEGO folks there....this year we did boats on rails and islands....Gilligan's, Easter, Christmas, Kitchen,.....clean-up on Isle 3, etc...mine was originally supposed to be a "Ninja Island," but after BoBS started up, the Ninja's and pirates thing seemed more appropriate! I should have some highlights on my flickr later....lol
