  1. Nom nom, nice harbor scene, lovely little boats and lots of minifigs! I also liked that dark red brick building, although before seeing it, I had the (obviously wrong) opinion that a building using only dark red profile bricks wouldn't look good.
  2. You'd better be! I struggled building that Orchid in time to honor your Challenge and our friendship!
  3. Hurray for those new rules! Love them! (Nice map btw ). i wish I had time to GM a bit though...
  4. Good luck on the initiative and please tell me where do you find those awesome oil paintings!!!
  5. I sooo love these inter-faction collaborations! Both "landlubber" buildings are great and the ship is really well made and of high quality as usual. I had seen Ayrlego's photo on flickr some time ago and I was curious as to why a Corry is using bluecoats in one of his builds Also, great use of the "era appropriate" top hats on the crew.
  6. I completely agree with Bregir on that
  7. Nicely done! I can see you put a lot of effort on this so hats off! I also like the enlarged version of your Orchid and the lore you put in there with the story and the map
  8. A nice entry overall (great presentation too). I really loved the minifigs and the gorgeous brick-built birds!
  9. A nice cosy home! The only thing that seems off here is the left part of the roof where it looks too "thin" at this picture. Maybe another layer of black (?) bricks would make that spot look better?
  10. The Captain's Daughter Inn and a house Gifted to the good people of Jameston by their Oleander friends.
  11. Give us recipes!!! The crowd needs to be fed!!!
  12. Beautiful one LS! I like how the temple blends in so nicely with the jungle! I also like the creepy atmosphere with the skellies lying around
  13. Thanks Elo! Well, talking about the alternative approach to the challenge, there is a saying "if you can't solve it, just cut it"...
  14. Woohoo! Great stuff happening there! And that bug and the orchid are just gigantic!!!
  15. A really nice idea Elo and a well written story as always! A golden orchid is a vanished orchid though! Just wait for KPA to spread the word... Hehehe!
  16. Nice rockwork and really good placement of the flora (I especially like the fact that it is spread across different levels). Hopefully the mountain goats won't eat the Orchid!
  17. Thanks Ayrlego! I found out that the most difficult thing while building a life sized flower with LEGO bricks is the stability issues. It is VERY fragile (as almost every real-like flower though). Needless to say, that thing got accidentally destroyed on its way from the balcony to the bookcase (fortunately after the photo-shooting). I blame the carpet for once! Only the central flower remains (so as to subconsciously convince my wife that we need a bigger LUGBULK order this year ). Regarding the totally sub par rock-work and small waterfall, I was actually nearly pushed to build it so as to compliment the flower. Pfff...women these days... Thanks Maxim and Mike! I am glad you liked it! Sadly that was the only thing I could build in time so as to participate at the Challenge and honor our guests this time (Corrington)
  18. "Look! There it is!", exclaimed Hugo as he has just seen the object of everybody's in the expedition desire. Mr B had given him the right directions after all. And the natives in their turn, had given him the right directions as well. Perched at a steep cliff by a waterfall, he was by no means there. He had to tackle the fast water that moved down the river and climb for quite some time. Not a small feat for anyone. But Hugo's eyes had focused on the exotic flower... About an hour later, he was finally holding the rarest flower of all. A true beauty, worthy of it's name. "Celestia’s Superb Orchid" ! It's scarlet colors, Its bushy appearance, all attributed to its beauty. But above all, its smell, was like incense to the pious. Something completely out of this world. And Hugo was holding it in his hands. He was to immediately put it in a glass full of water, for the natives explained Mr B that each branch you cut from this flower, grows roots almost immediately. Maybe this characteristic, always coupled with its smell, was the cause of its illustrious name. The King will be really happy upon his return! As I couldn't build a bigger moc in time for the competition, I decided to participate, simply for the fun of it. And since a flower is first and foremost a woman's subject, I asked my wife to help me The general idea is mostly hers, but it needed my touch mostly for stability reasons. Still, no matter how I've tried, it still remains a bit fragile as we speak. Anyway, thanks for watching and good luck to everybody!
  19. Both discoveries are great but I prefer the fly! Really clever design both as micro build and the enlarged version.
