    @LM71Blackbird I wanted to point out a couple things in case you didn't know but am going to do it all here, instead of on the respective threads. The easiest way to find any form is in the Master Index that is pinned. I looked at the January 2018 account summary linked in the Master Index and see that you have received your 25dbs for signing up. I also see that you have received a gift of 50 dbs from some generous soul (not myself). However, I am not seeing any build submittals yet so I recommend that you submit your HMS Barracuda thread. Each build you do can be submitted using the Build Submittal and you get 10 free dbs for the first 2 builds each month and less for the following ones. Also I should mention that you also receive a free small property license so you are able to license a property to start you on earning income if you wish to.

    Welcome @LM71Blackbird to BOBS and Corrington. I am sure you will have lots of fun building and telling stories throughout this world of sail. I like your intro and that ship. It looks well made. I look forward to future stories from you.

    Late entry is up.

    "Johnny, why are you still working here in the office? You should be outside with everyone else watching the parade!" scolded James Hendricks. "If you don't leave these books for later, and go out right now I am going to have to fire you." James smiled as Johnny Martin, his young clerk, immediately vacated the office to grab his pennant in the storage room, before scrambling out the front door to see the parade that was already passing by. James is the business manager of the WETEC office in Elizabethville. The Elizabethville office is second only to the Arlinsport office in volume of work and sales. Though he is a shrewd business man who requires detailed and perfect work out of all his employees, James is not one to deprive a young man from the joy of the holidays. The New Year is just beginning and Elizabethville has decided to put on a parade that will travel down the length of its main street, all the way down to Fort di Legno near the docks. Many different people have joined the parade, and most of the rest of the town is crowding the walkways watching. First, came the marines, marching in their perfect order. They were stationed on the boat Octavia that is anchored in the bay. Following behind them are the bagpipes of the Corrish highlands playing their sweet but haunting tunes. Following them on horseback are several of the WETEC Light Cavalry. Following the cavalry, is a most peculiar site. A very tall man is walking by juggling balls. All the kids are in awe of his height, though whispers among the adults about a gadget called stilts has intrigued several who heard the whispers. Following the juggler is an equally peculiar site. A small cart being pulled by a yoke of... pigs! The driver must be skilled indeed to handle pigs so well. Oh, it is a monkey not a man driving the pigs. What a bizarre site to behold. So bizarre in fact that most people missed the man walking behind the pig-monkey cart as if he was in charge of it. The parade goes on with all sorts of fun and peculiar sites. People have moved from all over the old world to settle in this new colony. Many who have settled here, like the bagpipers of the highlands, have brought their own customs and traditions that they continue to follow. Together, all these customs and traditions are mixing into one town and colony that creates exciting holidays indeed.

    I could see a livery stable or changing station part way or at either end. Obviously fresh draft animals would be key to the operation of this kind of route, so a part way changing station would make sense.

    This is a well done sinking ship. A favorite touch that I noticed was the water spouting through the front of the hull as it slips beneath the wave. Great way to add a little more detail with just a few bricks. Also I like the frame you put around your build and the way the foamy waves spill over it. Great job!

    I built a single fort in Elizabethville that I originally licensed as a small then later upgraded it to a medium. So there should be only one medium fort under my account that is located in Elizabethville. I would like it and its back upkeep switched to Elizabethville which should be 140dbs total including this month. Thank you for helping work this out.

    As the Icarus returning is just now leaving Mooreton Bay, I see no problem with using that as the starting point for the tMRCA. In story it makes plenty of sense. I am particularly fond of whatever piece you used to make the Riff Raft sails. The shape is nice and I think a simple railing would have improved the look. I am glad it didn't sink with so many men on it!
  10. SilentWolf
    Upkeep for a small fort is 10 db per month. BOBS is in its 25th month so even if being charged back to there, the upkeep on a small would be 250. However, I believe forts are only charged since the change to upkeep not retroactive.

    Merry Christmas to everyone!

    I am glad to see this ship photographed with some close up shots. I am also glad, since I'm starting on a ship, that rigging doesn't make or break a ship.

    @Drunknok the term is defined here which is on the first page of this thread.

    Great concept and storyline. I am fond of the chosen minifigures and their posing. Even though the wall is simple the colors and style fit in well with the town.
  15. SilentWolf
    New builds have been added, and I have made changes to the page to make it less burdensome.
  16. SilentWolf
    Thank you! I want to go walk there too. My toddler tried, and it didn't go well. Thank you! I had contemplated adding more to try to get it to a large, but I was out of green slopes and leaves, and was running low on the stems and undergrowth. Thus a medium it had to be. Thank you! I was quite unhappy with my first round of pictures so I took more and was glad I did. The view down the stream is my favorite. I actually had several of them but had to figure out which was the best.

    Micah and Elizabeth are dining this evening at Tom Mercer's house in Elizabethville. As Mayor of the settlement, by popular vote, he has overseen everything non-military in the colony for the last year and a half. Now that Micah has been residing on the island, Mayor Mercer and Micah are able to coordinate better for the future of the settlement. The WETEC is still actively working to encourage more settlers to come settle on the island, as is evidenced by the various new faces that have been showing up. This evening while the supper is being set out Sir Micah and Mayor Mercer are talking over the stories that have been coming out of Mooreton Bay and the charges of piracy laid upon a Corrington captain. Though the WTC has not acquired the best reputation, this news seems quite surreal. Micah informed Tom Mercer that he would be sailing to Mooreton Bay upon the Soupfish within the next couple days to find out the situation there, as well as stop in to visit Mr. James Palmer at the WETEC office in Mooreton Bay.

    Large builds are time consuming and so difficult to photograph but they definitely are great to look at. I like the way you have designed the dock and arranged the buildings. It helps make everything visible from the one camera angle which is always my flaw. Great minifigure scenes. I like the interiors of the different buildings and the stories to go with each of them. Great job on including previous and new content. That WTC sign is HUGE! I guess they want everyone to know which warehouse is theirs.

    I think the yellow and white work surprisingly well together! I would not have guessed that it would. I like the usage of the picket fences on the exterior as they add a nice look to the facade. Also the Nexo shield once again makes a great part for an emblem over an entrance. Probably the only critique I have is that the roof facing the road could use some tiling to give it a studs less look. I particularly call it out because using the slopes on the lower part of the wall with their smooth tops contrasts with the studs on top. Great job on the spacious interior, and setting it up ready for a trial. In the front of the building, is that a globe on the left and a helmet on the right?

    This is very well done with lots of great architecture and scenes. I like how you have gotten the train to go inside the build on the backside. Great way to handle it. There are also some great minifigure scenes spread throughout. Do you keep ot the same and just add every year or change it completely?
  21. SilentWolf
    The posing of the minifigures, and the action portrayed is all exceptional. The building is also well done and I am fond of the non-square base, though I definitely don't use them enough. I look forward to seeing more for you in the brick.

    This is a great continuation of the story, and the story does not disappoint. For the photography, the view through the lens is superb! The microships are great duplicates models. The rear of the ship looks great except the deck looks like it is falling off. Great coloring and design though. The water style is a favorite part of these builds.
  23. SilentWolf
    A very foreboding lighthouse with its dark colors. It might not be super visible during the day with that coloring. I like the style and structure of this lighthouse as well as the great rockwork.
  24. SilentWolf
    This is another great way to raise ship limits. I like the posing, water effect, and the Lego background. I am not sure about that baseball hat though. Might be a bit before the times.

    Thank you! I feel a stream really adds a nice touch, and I borrowed the deer design but then edited it for my own liking and parts. The Brick Warrior antlers definitely help with the depiction. Thank you. Yes, the trails were my frustration. I have lots of the 2x3, 2x4 sloped plates in browns but very few in green. So to create the angled trail edges I had to put the brown on top. I was hoping the vegetation would help prevent it from being as obvious. I also should have changed it in the areas I was using normal plates for the trail to at least level them with the surroundings. The fallen tree was not planned but thought of part way through the build. I think it added a lot of realism to the build though. I may have not have been in that forest, but I have been out in the forest a bit lately and have been making mental notes of things I wanted to replicate. Though the Onondaga people in BOBS are roughly based off the real counterparts in the Iroquois nation. Thank you! I definitely have aimed for Lacryma to have a more North American native focus. It is quite large. I had built it on 6 baseplates so that I could move it for photos. I have been studying the different styles of trees, bushes and undergrowth in other people's builds for a while to find a great variety to use. It is part of why I love BOBS and Eurobricks is I can always research what others are doing to inspire me for what I am working on. Thank you!
