This is gorgeous and I like that the horses are in action. The varied foliage is a nice touch as well is the flags for each cheering section. @Bregir @Ayrlego as this is intended as a Royal I wasn't sure who to talk to make sure it receives its charter. Bricksbypidy and I have reached an agreement where I will license it for Elizabethville, but I think it needs court approval first if my memory serves me right.

[COR - GOC] Class 5 HMS Midgard - Cruisers of Terra Nova My submission

Oaken Shield - Task 3 Cruisers of Terra Nova [COR - GOC] Class 5 HMS Midgard - Cruisers of Terra Nova

The WETEC (Wolf's Equine Trading and Expedition Company) quickly expanded in the early days of exploration but has settled into a steady rhythm since then. They have the settlement and ranch on Elizabethville to take care of and trading to oversee. However, the merger with ETTC and the busyness of life has slowed the aggressive expansion they initially started with. However, their goal is always the expansion and protection of her Majesty's empire and to accomplish this they pledged and have now provided a Class 5 ship funded and built by the WETEC. This is a GOC build for the Oaken Shield task. It is also a completion of a commitment I made when the Cruisers of Terra Nova was first initiated. Life got in the way and I actually forgot about it. Unfortunately it is not the class 6 that still sits unfinished but hopefully a worthy class 5.

Thank you!

Why do I have a ship upkeep cost?

from me. Very nice battery and figure posing. I like that you changed the figures with the story.

In the early days of the exploration and settlement beyond Terraversa, pirates were plentiful as the lack of armed warships made explorers and merchants easy targets. Her Majesty requested that any individuals and trade companies who would help outfit warships for protection of these new colonies would be rewarded with command of the ship given to a qualified individual of their choosing, and right of first capture of other ships. Since Micah and WETEC had stumbled upon a pirate treasure early in their travels they used these funds to outfit a ship for her majesty. [/url HMS El Bellos was outfitted and set sail in April of 616. The Captaincy was granted to one of the WETEC owners, George Knight. He still captains that ship and has served Corrington well in that position. The ship defended merchants admirably and in February of 617, it was patrolling with 3 other warships, when it set upon four pirate ships. The ships captured the Octavia, and sank the other three pirates. As her majesty promised the Octavia was granted to WETEC as its capture and with some retrofitting it has sailed as the flagship of WETEC. It has been the primary ship used by Micah and Elizabeth when sailing between the WETEC's holdings. However, with a new stronger flagship being produced for the WETEC, and the WETEC merging more under the banner of the ETTC, the Octavia is being handed over to focus more on merchant endeavors. However, Micah has heard that her majesty has need of a ship to move some troops so he is sending her for that purpose. OOC: It has been a while since I have finished anything and this digital build has been a multi year project. I hope to get back to building quicker again, as I enjoy building these stories.

from me. Gorgeous build. That fountain, and the stonework. Wow, wow, wow. Keep up the great work.

from me. This is a very pretty build, and I love the classic LEGO Pirate look.

from me. Great idea for a build, and nice usage of bricks to convey the scene.

from me. Beautiful build. Really catches the eye.

from me. A nice rendition of this ship and great posing and scene photos. I like the way you tell the story, in addition to the build.

from me. Love the minifigures and the story. I am curious where the commanding officers hair and hat come from.

from me. Love the posing and details added (ex. the tree stump, backpack). Glad to see the new troops getting along with the natives so well.

from me. Very pretty ship.

Nice to see Elizabethville getting some love and nice job incorporating previous storylines.

from me. This is a great build, and I like that your story and build keep a lot of the history and lore done before, including the white trees and the soldier uniforms. Thanks for the inclusion of Micah in this build! I had been wanting to do a build like this but just haven't had time for any building for a while. I also like the inclusion of both old and new horse molds in various colors. It adds so much diversity to the horses.

This is a great build that obviously fits into the Port Woodhouse style. I am impressed with the building and of course you have done a great job on your figure posing. I am intrigued on the way you assembled the officers hat though I don't have those parts so I won't be replicating it. I do notice that the horse stalls are about 1 stud too short so you had to get creative in fitting them in there with there feed troughs. However, great work overall and I love the build. from me.

from me. The build looks great, and great use of the various feather pieces from over the years. I am sad you didn't get a lower angle shot with the parrots, as I obviously prefer seeing and placing animals in scenes.

from me and sorry for taking so long to look at this. The animals are well placed and hard to spot, which would be expected in a jungle. Love the posing of the soldiers.

from me. Mostly this is just a great build to look at and notice the details. The ground is well done for the civilization, the building looks great especially with the dash of light blue, and the various containers and bags give it a great feel of a used dwelling as well as adding color.
