    Looks good. Thanks CG!

    I also just noticed a transfer I made from my account to Maxim I didn't go through. Could you check on that as well? Thanks.

    Phred, I just tried to make some payments from the Eslandola account to five ESL members, and it doesn't look like any of them went through. (FYI, the MCTC payments I just made appear to have gone through ok.) Could you check that out? Thanks.

    Thanks! Working on the action poses was a lot of fun. And the torso comes from the Knights Kingdom I phase of the Castle line.

    I was wondering who would be the first here to turn the Silent Mary into a more sea-worthy vessel, at least at the waterline. Congrats on your new ship! That Marquis looks familiar. Hmmm.... Love it! But from what I hear, I'd be careful around Lady DeSummer. And we get the beginning of a new story from the Captain. Hoo-ray!!!! I'll get the popcorn!

    Beautiful ship. It's the rake of the masts that really makes it.

    Nice job! The open top with the bracing is a nice way to provide a cutaway view. The light tan earth with olive vegetation works well, and your figure posing and head choices are excellent as always. And happy to see someone building in Fuerte Unido!

    Great job with this villa, especially the roof! And for making this work for both you and your daughter! But why do you have two of Eslandola's Black Guard with your sig fig?

    Wonderful MOC! Fantastic job on the windmill. (I've built a post mill in one of my early BoBS MOCs, and I'm working on a tower mill. You've inspired me to attempt a smock mill.) I like the terrain contours as well. And the story does a great job of pulling it all together in BoBS.

    Nice MRCA build! I like this vig. Nice use of that cross-braced support piece. Good fig posing. You earned this drink, you sea rats!

    Fantastic account of the battle! A thrilling read, even if Eslandola suffered so many losses to the Sea Rat privateers. I was, however, under the impression that King's Port had thrown off the Mardierian yoke in the past month. I guess we now know what the sympathies of the KPA's editor and publisher are (as if we didn't before)! Perhaps they have moved their offices without changing their masthead. @SkaForHire, could you clarify whether the Logan's Nightmare captured by ESL is a 5LA or 5HA? Thanks.

    Thanks! I really wanted to try for a realistic feel, albeit idealized as in a painting. Thanks. Yes, those torsos really work for the 17th century look. And I spent a lot of time on the fig posing, so I'm glad it appears to have paid off. Thanks. The cavalry charge was the main focus when I started, but I really wanted to get that combined line of pikemen and musketeers looking right. I originally had a double line of pikemen, but the scene was too crowded. And FYI, those pikes are from BrickWarriors.

    Nice little story, and I like that the action takes place in the interior of the ship. And the exterior of the build is nice enough that I'd love to see it on a full ship!
  14. Capt Wolf
    I'm forced to repeat what others have already said. Stunning waves, and the scene is filled with motion. The exocets flying out the water are just tremendous. I love this build! Fantastic job!
  15. Capt Wolf
    Nice ships! You've done a great job of filling the scene with action! And I like your water effect with the sunk fishing vessel.
  16. Capt Wolf
    Fun little build! I love the part usage to create the ship. And of course a great figurehead.
  17. Capt Wolf
    Nice build! I like your roof technique, and kudos for placing the house at an angle.
  18. Capt Wolf
    I've been waiting to see this since I got a sneak peek at the WIP in January, and I'm still absolutely blown away! First you've created something so expansive and detailed and beautiful that it easily stands on its own as an awesome build, and then you add all the minifigs, with such attention to detail, and the whole thing comes to life! There is obviously much to like about this build -- too much to list! -- but I feel I need to call out the technique of building hedges with those leaf pieces. Ingenious! You have me looking for excuses to add a shrubbery to my future builds. A+ sir. You win the Internet today.

    Another great build from you! I love all the different ways you've worked some texture into the walls; it amazes me how that alternating one plate height difference really makes a normal roof look quite interesting; the rockwork and foliage is nicely done; and the alternate views of "tide in" and "tide out" really give this build character. Not sure what I would advise you license it as, but I do know where to go for crab meat now. Well done!
  20. Capt Wolf
    I've experimented with building the same, and I really like your approach! How are the upside-down bricks attached to the rest of the build? And I'd love to see a pic showing the underside of the sentry post.
  21. Capt Wolf
    This is a really attractive build, with a fun write-up to go with it! The porch and palm roof are really good. (Love the antlers above the entrance!) Good foliage and rockwork, too. Nice work all around!
  22. Capt Wolf
    Fun entry! Nice job on both the worm and the Mardierian uniforms.
  23. Capt Wolf
    Thank you! I decided the way to go with the uniform dilemma was to use a period before the standard uniforms of the 18th century. Glad you like it. And a cavalry charge seemed to me like the most dramatic way for a hero to die. Thanks. It seemed to me the category demanded a focus on the figs. I experimented with more landscape and more troops, but both created a scene so cluttered as to obscure the details. Thank you! I took a lot of preliminary set-up photos to make sure the composition worked, and it went through a few revisions as a result. Thanks! I'm glad you like the uniforms, and that diagonal line was critical to making the scene work. And it is amazing what bad luck the whole Brickwall family seems to have. It's kind of like Lt. Dan's family in Forrest Gump, descended from a long line of men who died in battle. Thank you. I really enjoyed finally getting to create a proper battle scene for an earlier century than the normal Lego armies. And do keep watch for those torsos on BL; I'd love to see what you could do with them! Thank you. The new horses with the flexible rear legs allow for much better posing for a cavalry assault. There were obviously some compromises I had to make with the musketeers. I just wish I had some flex tubes that I could have used to replace arms and get both hands on the muskets. If I get a chance to do another scene of musketeers or arquebusiers in the future, with a standing line, I will certainly try to include the support stand they used. With them kneeling in this scene, I thought it wouldn't quite work. Thanks to everyone for the comments and feedback! Much appreciated.

    Somehow I missed this due to the challenge deadline. My apologies! That is an impressive build, worthy of a royal property. (I'll have to spend some time looking at the architectural details. Much to steal borrow there.) Mooreton Bay has really grown up! And you've done an excellent job of creating a story to explain your challenge prize. Kudos, sir, and a .

    I would have commented sooner, but the minions tend to leave me ... speechless! So, what to say? It is demented and genius all at once. For some reason it is the long bird legs that that the fish strides upon that continue to crack me up. Brilliant build, and I do hope you actually build that thing in bricks. I want pictures of the real thing!
