  1. Lots of great tropical vegetation. Especially the lime green tree. Love the lava and steam clouds.
  2. Did I understand it correctly that we can move points around as we please? So, for example, I could make silver scythe Like this (moved from firepower and crew to cargo): Class Cost Stat Points Range Maneuver Firepower Crew Cargo Hull Sum (1-6) (1-6) (0-12) (0-12) (0-15) (0-12) 2 120 12 3 5 0 0 2 2 12 And the Winged Wisdom like this (moved points from firepower, crew and hull to cargo: Class Cost Stat Points Range Maneuver Firepower Crew Cargo Hull Sum (1-6) (1-6) (0-12) (0-12) (0-15) (0-12) 2 120 12 3 3 0 0 5 1 12 Reference: Class Cost Stat Points Range Maneuver Firepower Crew Cargo Hull Sum (1-6) (1-6) (0-12) (0-12) (0-15) (0-12) 2 120 12 3 4 2 1 0 2 12 If I understood correctly this is a massive improvement, because the ships can be tailored to fit. Both ships are intended to rely on escorts, and move goods. One is a fast vessel, the other frail and sails bad, because she has every possible space filled with cargo.

  5. Haha, the Duck/Lion figurehead is hilarious. Nice ships. I like the curvature on the upper part of the stern on the.... biggest ship. Does she have a name yet?
  6. Funny story, and a cool twist to the challenge. Love the killer rabbit tomb.
  7. Trois Forks Inn Medium artisan.
  8. Sir Stig . Category E [FOR ESLANDOLA] Part One . Cat got your tongue? Trois Forks Inn, Breshaun
  9. [Trois Forks Inn, Breshaun] “Cheers to king Alphonso! We have a great victory over Eslandola at the Battle of 5 Navies!” “Hooray! Hooray!” ‘Bloody Mardierians… They must have forgotten that they lost 10 vessels to Eslandola without any of the Eslandola vessels having a scratch… They just were lucky those bloody Sea Rats showed up…’ Jan Zwartbaard thought. He was sitting in one of the many Inns the flourishing city of Breshaun has to offer. On one of the other tables, a Mardierian captain was proaching about how great Mardier is and how Eslandola and Garvey will fall. It would be just a matter of time the captain said. The obligatory inn cat couldn't give a rat's about what was going on inside... The later the evening, the more interesting the conversations became. Pretending to be sleeping, Jan Zwartbaard heard every single word the Mardierians said. Luckily for him it was said in the same dialect as the dialect he used to speak as a very young child. What he heard was a rather confusing puzzle of loose elements, but it was clearly about a big treasure to be discovered by Mardier. Luckily he could rely on his brains, so he had not the need to note everything instantly as that would be suspicious. One by one the guests were heading towards their chambers. After finding himself to be the last guest, he thanked and paid the Inn Keeper and walked outside, around the building to his upstairs lodging. "Strange fellow, not very talkative. But kinda cute in a weird way." Sthe tought to herself. It had been a good night for her, even though the strange guy didn't leave a tip. Zwartbaard took pen and paper and started sketching. Afterwards, he took a map of the New Haven region and put it next tot he notes and drawings. The analysing would keep him up all night, luckily he could sleep tomorrow on the vessel heading towards Trador… For Eslandola. Individual entry, but first part of a story collaboration. I intend to lisense it as a medium artisan.
  10. Great river scene. Cool temple, and depiction of the locals.
  11. Before 15th or before the 15th is over? Just want to make sure I don't mess up.
  12. "This sounds to me like a far better solution", Victor Servadac chimed in. "Let us build the nation together, so that we could conduct our business in peace. In lieu of taxation, we could create, perhaps, a royal market for the state. Run by the state, but the with market stalls manned by us, the people. Then we don't have to pay taxes, and we get a place to sell our goods. The White Glove Order are willing to contribute with labour towards this solution. In light of this new course of the discussion, the Sea of Storms representatives have decided to abstain their vote on taxation." So: Governor Guilders proposal: 3 abstain Senor Monezterell proposal: 3 abstain ETWCs suggestion for collaboration for the state: 3 YAYs!
  13. This scene is so harmonic in the color scheme, and yet so dramatic in theme (hah, it rhymes). Nice cart and lots of nifty little details. Like the small "out" sign. Great posing and photos to top it off :)
  14. Thank you. I promise the lighting will get better now that daylight have returned (for a while at least, until maybe september). ;)
  15. Thank Zeus It's Wednsdaeigh - Soup Kitchen Medioum Artisan licensed
  16. Thank you. I forgot to mention he was hit by a cannonball. I hope the pale rider will go into the mythic folklore of BoBs, free to be used by others in their builds. The creek came naturally as I tried to make sense of the shoreline, and was quite happy with the result myself. The reflection in the creek on the pale rider picture was also luck. I thought about changing the white underneath with tan, but it was at a late stage and the SNOT made it to much work. I will try variations on the theme later on. More luck than skill, but thank you for pointing it out. It worked out better than expected, since the angle and position was different than the painting. Yeah, I like all "weathered" torsoes on the battlefield and action shots in general. A dark red leg messed up the pattern, but since the left leg was brown it made into a smooth transition that looks like mud. If I had planned it better I would elaborate the story more. The timeframe fitted very good, and I like to learn some history along the way. I love to see others historical references, and see how they get translated into brick. I also steal borrow a lot from literature, and mix parts of lyrics into my sentences (to make my english sound more fluent).
  17. Great diorama. Love the vegetation, the waves(!), minifig posing, the rolling and the stranded boats. Fluent language and inspired writing. The story... I can only say: Don't believe the hype. Could not help noticing that the Mardier forces were awfully blue. Who's the warmonger now?
  18. More of portuguese, dutch and other trading nations influences. Often mistaken for being greedy, just because they know how to make money multiply. Right.
  19. Challenge a entry Sir Stig | Eslandola Challenge b entry Sir Stig | Eslandola Wednsdaeigh | Sir Stig | Eslandola
  20. I hear you on the downside. It is a great hobby, but my time does not allow me to do both atm, so I am sticking to Lego. It allows me to go small or big, depending on the amount of inspiration I have. As to the uniform: I think it is a great design, and cred for a steady hand. The only critique is, off point, that in my opinion flesh heads and hands look better with yellow fabric.
  21. Cool Sin City-ish effect. I think you could maybe take it further replacing more into black/white/grey to make it even more dramatic, with fewer focus points. That is a sweet (cost effective) way to make builds with a good selection of black/white/greys btw. Good way to start a Lego collection if one like to build scenes.
  22. I... I just don't know what to say. A flying swimming walking beast of burden is among us. Save yourselves! Cool entry. This hilariously funny idea translated well into Lego.
  23. Great story, posing and composition! My favorite build in this category.
