    That looks like Dino from the Flintstones, but Dino isn't in the Flintstones set. I have no idea where that part is from.

    That house would look right at home in New Orleans' French quarter. A perfect fit for an Oleon settlement!

    Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I came across a bunch of those old printed wall panels and wanted to find a way to use them. I've tried to encourage others who build in Punto Sur to build with a nod to the classic sets in some way as a unifying theme for the settlement. Mixed results so far.

    and These two points won't steer you wrong. Don't feel any pressure to join a particular faction. Bregir answered this well: "Yes, but you can only be part of one faction." But it is easy to have side characters of the other factions. I play for Eslandola, but I have minor characters that are Corrish and Oleonder. I use them to give my main Eslandolan characters to have storylines that connect to other factions. You would need to modify it enough so that it shows some effort at making it unique. ---------- Whatever faction you choose, welcome to BoBS! I look forward to seeing your characters, stories, and builds!

    Still a ways off. Crunching the numbers on the ship orders is taking some time this turn. We're working on it.

    It turned out great! The chairs for the waterwheel work well, and that tree is magnificent. Nice assortment of details around the various windows. And of course your usual lovely landscaping. Another one of your instant classics!

    I love your take on the updated Classic Pirates style! I concur that the dark yellow works better than dark red would have. The yellow sand of the island is a great throwback to Classic Pirates, as is the ramp. Fantastic job!

    Oktoberfest mini-challenge winners have been announced:
  9. Capt Wolf
    Thank you to all the entrants in this year's Oktoberfest mini-challenge! Punto Sur is now a booming trade town and a veritable melting pot of BoBS. Drunken merchants and sailors from all factions can be found there! Judges put an emphasis on sticking to the Classic Pirates theme and attention to the fit of the scenes in a newly founded settlement. Here are the prize winners: Artisan: Biergarten by @Corweena (Grand Prize winner: free large property license to be activated by microbuild somewhere in the New Haven Sea) Commerce: Warehouse by @Professor Thaum (Runner-up: free medium property license to be activated by microbuild somewhere in the New Haven Sea) Factory: Brewery by @CapOnBOBS (free small property license to be activated by microbuild somewhere in the New Haven Sea)* see below Art & Culture: Street Theater by @Count Vroskri (free small property license to be activated by microbuild somewhere in the New Haven Sea) Education: Science Academy by @CapOnBOBS (another free small property license to be activated by microbuild somewhere in the New Haven Sea)* see below The Fest Tent by @CapOnBOBS was an extremely close second in the artisan category, and would have been eligible for one of the top two prizes if it had won its category, so one of CapOnBobs's small licenses is hereby upgraded to a medium! Thanks again for all the great entries!

    I love the waterwheel design! Very creative! I never would have thought of using the chair piece. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
  11. Capt Wolf
    @Ayrlego, don't forget to add an account for the Eslandola settlement of Ceniza Bajo. Thanks.
  12. Capt Wolf
    Marvelous build! Love the terrain and the color palette. The tree and vulture are a great touch!
  13. Capt Wolf
    There's so much to like about this build: the vine (especially how it changes from vertical to horizontal surfaces), the colors (I especially like how the light yellow of the house connects to the yellow of the soldiers), and details like the bars of the lower windows. But I think Captain Genaro summed it up best: It's like a fine painting, an image so well put together that it's pleasing to just look at. Bravo.
  14. Capt Wolf
    I like it, and don't see any obvious issues. I'd wait for other members of leadership to chime in, but this has a from me.
  15. Capt Wolf
    Just a reminder that there are only two-and-a-half days left to get your Oktoberfest entries in. Note that there are still no entries for residences, and only 1 entry each in the commerce, factory, and education categories.
  16. Capt Wolf
    Nice build, and we get an interior! I particularly like the tile work on the front. And that sewing machine is very nice. Would love to see a better picture of just it. Congrats!

    Willem Guilder's personal guards are well known in Weelond and easily recognized across the Brick Seas, with their green capes, knee-high boots, wide hats with plumes, and fashionable rapiers. But they are versatile men at arms, equally capable with the musket and on horseback. Many young men in Eslandola aspire to join Guilder's musketeers. And now the director of the MCTC has decided to expand the size of his guard unit. Here they are seen assembling in the warehouse district of Weelond. --- Just a quick build to raise some troops in Weelond. My temporary photography location isn't ideal; the warehouse in this build is actually tan, not yellow! All C&C welcome.
  18. Capt Wolf
    Thank you. And I think when I post the next deadline thread, I'll make sure to highlight the new settlements for each faction.
  19. Capt Wolf
    Wonderful MOC. I love the colors for the ground, and I've got to try that SNOT technique for building up irregular bases. Nice tents, and good overall posing and presentation! Another example of your fine work! That's all the reason you need. And they look good!
  20. Capt Wolf
    Thanks! BoBS covers a wide time period, and I often skew my builds early, into the pike and shot era.
  21. Capt Wolf
    Gotta agree with Kai: the lime really looks great! And I love the classic green vest torso for the soldiers. The old watch tower harkens back to the origins of Fuerte Unido, too. Well done.
  22. Capt Wolf
    A lovely little sloop, and an incredible prize for the contest! Very nice!
  23. Capt Wolf
    LOL! But I miss having the time or easy access to pieces to build some texture and details into the walls and such. I'm also a bit frustrated with poor photography conditions as well. Yeah, I really like those spears. I think I got them from Brick Warriors. I think we're getting there. Maybe.

    With the outbreak of hostilities in the Brick Seas, officials in Salida Este are looking to shore up defenses of the Eslandian jewel of the Azure Sea. Here we see horse-drawn artillery (although the ammunition box appears to be missing from the limber) alongside a line of Ferro Azure's renowned swordsmen, proceeding along a wagon path outside the city. --- Just a small vig to raise two companies of troops in Salida Este. Here's a shot that includes the full height of the tree: I spent a fair amount of time on the terrain, and then the minifigs obscured all my work. (The artillery limber also didn't show well in the pics. ) Here's a pic from above without the figs: All C&C welcome.

    With the Oleon invasion of Terraversa, authorities in Nova Terreli are concerned that their island could be next. To assure that the Eslandian port remains a haven for all friendly ships crossing to and from the old world, two companies of pikemen have been formed by the Merchants Colonial Trading Company. The local ladies are worried that the men may be headed to war, but privately officials confide that they do not expect the bluecoats to expand their aggression. But readying troops for active duty is a considered a prudent measure nonetheless. --- Please pardon the simplicity of the build. Most of my bricks are packed away, and RL has been getting in the way of my building time to boot! But I hope I captured the flavor of Nova Terreli. All C&C welcome.
