Puvel

Thanks Garmadon! Had to add some kind of colour to the grass, would have been a big sea of 'normal' green otherwise! Thanks Ayrlego! Bought those farmer hats ages ago because I needed pigs for previous builds, happy I finally got to use them. Thanks SilentWolf! The drying racks were my 3rd experiment so was happy these ones worked out. Adding the 'beans' involved some minor cursing of the gods as they rolled all over the place, yay for tiles! Thanks Kai! The building looks remarkably like Ayrlegos one so I'm happy it fits :D Thanks Professor! Pretty sure I've seen those trunks used before but finally got my hands on a bunch of cheese slopes so wanted to try it out. Next time I'll have to work a bit more on the leaves though Thanks Kwatchi! Glad it looks industrial enough, wasn't sure on how to handle that at first

ETTC Cocoa Factory Collaboration Stage One: Fermentation - Ayrlego Stage Two: Drying - Puvel Stage Three: Roasting - SilentWolf Stage Four: Grinding and Pressing - Bregir To the esteemed Colonial Governor Jonathan Cooke, We hereby send the requested rapport of our efforts in the drying section of the cocoa plant. As you know, the second stage in the cocoa production is drying. The beans should be dried after fermentation in order to reduce the moisture content from about 60% to about 7.5%. However, this isn't as simple as it sounds. It must be done carefully to ensure that off-flavours are not developed. Therefore the beans are spread out evenly in the the sun. They are regularly raked to ensure the drying area is evenly distributed. With adequate sunshine and little rainfall, sun drying takes about one week per batch. Please find enclosed a drawing of our plant: Your humble servant, Andrew Vimes Overseer of the King's Harbour drying facility This concludes the ETTC Royal Cocoa factory builds (slightly behind schedule), hope you enjoyed them. The footprint of this part is 3072 (48x64). Credit for the builders barracks goes to Ayrlego who kindly gave me permission to borrow his design. When I was building the palm trees I looked at them from above, the pictures are from a lower angle and prove that I should find another way to attach the leaves. Ah well, I'm sure that's not the only thing that can be improved.

Thanks soccerkid! Happy you like it Thanks Henjin! The 4 colours wasn't really intended. Started out with using dark tan and then remembered I recently bought some sand green so wanted to use that instead, must have missed taking out one part! Didn't realize I had 6 different textures, was just using the bricks that were close at hand. Thanks for pointing that out though, will pay more attention next build! Thanks Titus! Will try to make rock work with a bit more variety next time

Great build indeed! Especially the wooden parts are nicely done

Lovely! Great looking waterfall, the rock works is amazing as well, the flowers add nice little bits of colour. Combination of the 2 greys is nicely done as well.

Wow! The catacombs are great, lovely wall texture, the rug looks great. It really ties the room together! That pyramid is epic alright! You mentioned the gold bricks, but just putting the little green flowers pieces must have been a chore as well

Great writing! The waterfall looks very nice, especially like the continuation of the river in the border. The bonfire pic is class too

Hehe excellent story! The evil bunny cave looks fearsome indeed

Lovely builds! The colour scheme of the tavern looks great, the addition of the bits and pieces in different colours give it a lively atmosphere. The pyramid is amazing, great vegetation and its looks properly abandoned and ancient. Haven't seen those jars before but they are beautiful and the little extra colour is great addition. The fort looks like a proper one, well defended with epic walls and big cannons. Looking at all the jails and the gallows I wouldn't want to mess about in Oleon!

Tower Phase 2

The locals decided they needed a new watchtower to monitor the coast. An old stone tower could be used as foundation, it needed some repairs but that wasn't an issue as there was plenty of wood available close by. Once repaired, the tower had a magnificent view and could spot incoming raiders from miles away.

Lovely river scene, nice variety of colors in there. Adding the skeleton is a great detail. Finding a cultural goldmine is a great idea!

Some of the BoBS people will build for the rebellion or empire, do we get the same prices?

Thanks people! Happy to see you like it The tentacles are the plant grass stem

Cat C build for Mardier: The Mighty Kraken strikes again

Captain Lalale had heard the rumours about a mighty sea creature devouring ships. Which were nonsense of course. Bloody landlubbers don't know anything about the sea. It is mighty and dangerous indeed but there is no need to make up such stories! And then the tentacles appeared...

Thanks guys! I'll try to keep up the good work The warrior torso if from Dwalin.

Thanks Titus! Been wanting to build a house with those greens for a while now! The ballista was a bit small to earn a complete baseplate so was happy to create a scene around it. Thanks Henjin! Kept the ground monochrome on purpose, figured it's in an indoor courtyard so would be cleane up every now and then. The only texturing I did was use both tiles and plates, hope it shows better in the added pics. Thanks Soccerkid! If you say it looks perfectly Mitgardian, it must be true Thanks Garmadon! It's my BoBS sig-fig cutting the wood indeed, that should explain his absence there for the last 2 months or so Thanks Kai! Great to hear it's lively Thanks Exetrius! Nice complements there

Thanks! There's about 2 minutes of footage in Clone Wars that shows blue domes, pink flowers and palm trees so was happy to build something requiring some colours :D

Simply beautiful, great combination of colours and textures. Nice and very lively scene too

Another brilliant build! The complete build is just just dropping, damn that's epic!

Excellent stories and pics! Really love that last one, the lake and sky look great together, I'd miss that planet too :D
