@LucasLucas, generally we try not to bump old threads for cluttery reasons, but here are some resources for you. This is a list of all the parts you'll need. You can create a wishlist based off of them for bricklink, which will allow you to easily buy all of the parts you need. Remember to factor in shipping! It can be quite expensive... I would create a topic under community if you'd like more tips and tricks for bricklinking an old set. Otherwise, good luck to you

Absolutely fantastic end to your story @Drunknok. The minifig scale build is very well done, and uses great foliage and water techniques. The temple is well done as well, and it is well illustrated by the use of the miniature sun. But the Orchid is what really sells the build, as it's unlike any of the other ones done. It uses multiple techniques to make it look fantastic. Fantastic job man!

[COR-CWW] The Cocovia wagonway: a royal collaboration
Mesabi replied to Brickwolf's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Added another! 32x32 studs, putting us to 8,178 studs. As usual this entry adds to the crown's shares. Keep it up people! -
Location: King's Harbour Type: Royal Commercial The WaywardMartâ„¢ of King's Harbour had opened along the railway to sell goods for the WTC. WaywardMart by North White, on Flickr "5 Dbs for a barrel of horse glue?!? I could buy a house for that much!" Said an outraged Corrington soldier. "All prices are set by corporate. However, if you'd like to apply for our customer loyalty program, you can earn points towards future purchases, in our stores across the brick seas." Said the cashier boredly "I don't want a loyalty program, I just don't want to be robbed when buying supplies!" he said. "If you want, you can fill out a survey that you can mail in for a chance to win a 200 Db spending spree at any of our locations. It's on the back of the receipt." The cashier replied WaywardMart by North White, on Flickr "I'd take my business elsewhere, but you're the only supplier left! It's like everyone else who sold goods was driven out of business in unsavory or suspicious circumstances...." "Thank you for stopping at WaywardMartâ„¢." The cashier said tiredly, before returning to his book. WaywardMart by North White, on Flickr Agnes, meanwhile, was drunk in the storeroom, again displeased at the lack of progress on the railway. It was almost as if Corrington was ignoring the project. WaywardMart by North White, on Flickr Fortunately, the railway was able to ship things from the docks to the warehouses and stores. Meaning it had some use.... FIN Thanks for viewing my general store! This originally was going to be licensed as an Artisan, but after I had built it, I realized it was more commercial. Fortunately, it incorporated the CWW, so I've decided to have this be another entry to the wagonway. I'm happy with the build. I could have done more with the roof I feel, but as I have a lack of cheese slopes, I've been doing flat roofs lately. I hope this isn't to much like my last build, but I've tried to use different techniques with each of my builds. C&C appreciated!

Brethren of the Brick Seas (BoBS) Intro Thread, Era II
Mesabi replied to Bregir's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Question: what do general stores fall under? Commercial or artisans? I've seen them as both but I need an artisan for a settlement -
Location: Arlinsport Type: Medium Factory Ever since the emergence of the WTC, horse life spans had decreased significantly. Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr But the WTC was never an organization to cause problems! Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr And so, Horse Skeletons were brought to the WTC's processing center in Arlinsport Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr A large loading dock allows for loading from both land and sea. Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr Inside, skeletons are dismembered into small pieces. Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr Next, they are boiled into a sticky gel that makes an easy glue for uses throughout the colonies Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr All that's left is loading them into crates! Sticky Business by North White, on Flickr WTC: A leading pioneer in innovation. FIN Thanks for viewing my factory! This build should finally nudge Arlinsport into city territory, and bring Corrington into a new age of science, and innovation. I'm actually quite proud of this one, although I'm not entirely sure if my portrayal of glue making is accurate. Either way I'm happy with it. C&C appreciated!

Location: Mesabi Landing Type: Coal Mine With the discovery of coal, and people dragging their bratty kids to the settlement, Mesabi Landing had two problems. Fortunately they were able to combine the two problems. Mesabi Landing daycare and coal mine 1 by North White, on Flickr With Corrish innovation, childcare in the Landing was guaranteed at the local Daycare/Coal mine Mesabi Landing daycare and coal mine 1 by North White, on Flickr Children happily played games of "Haul up the coal" and "mine the coal" Mesabi Landing daycare and coal mine 1 by North White, on Flickr And coal was quickly produced for the settlement. FIN Thanks for viewing this build I meant to post like 3 weeks ago. I should have taken better pictures, but I took these at my house, and I'm at my dorm right now. C&C appreciated. And if you think this is dark, you should have seen the original version of this build...

Location: Mesabi Landing Type: Medium Factory As acting Mayor of Mesabi Landing, Karl Mordo had to oversee the opening of new factories. Not that he wanted to be mayor. In fact the position had started to take over his personal life as well. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr This was the second Cannon Factory on Argentia, adding to the Island's destructive power. But what Karl really wanted was a nice nap. He grumbled as they let him in. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr The WTC foreman spoke. "Much like our other factory, we melt things down into a mold on a rail system. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr "Iron Ingots, old swords, and other useless things are all turned into cannons here." Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr Molten Iron flowed into the mould with a hiss. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr Th mold was wheeled out of the factory to cool in the cooler air outside. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr And for the next four hours, Karl Mordo was forced to make awkward small talk with the WTC's most boring Foreman. Because he needed to verify that the same iron poured into the cannon mould would become the cannons as mandated by Corrish Law. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr Finally the mould was cracked open, revealing four small deck guns. "We pride ourselves on being able to recycle the mould here." The foreman said happily. Karl Mordo sighed. It was hot out. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr Finally the barrels were drilled out to Corrish standards, making another set of working cannons. Mesabi Landing Foundry 2 by North White, on Flickr "We'll have a third soon." Said the foreman. But Karl Mordo had already walked off... FIN Thanks for viewing my build! Sorry for the hiatus. Although my hiatus seems to be how much time it usually takes the rest of you to build something. C&C appreciated!

[COR - Era II - Callenge 1 - Cat. B 2] The Nightlight Spider
Mesabi replied to Darnok's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Very nice entry @Drunknok, I love how the spider turned out. The use of all the clear pieces really makes the thing unique. I love the size comparison to those cats too. They don't seem to care much though . The oly thing I would have changed is the colour of the spider's eyes. I'm not sure if a different colour would be better, however... -

PM'd you @Capt Wolf. Hope you like my ideas for submissions! -
@Drunknok I accidentally voted for my own challenge before seeing the rule against it. Sorry!

Nice looking Vessel @Capt Wolf. Definitely has an Eslandolan look to her. I love the sails and the rigging, and the detailing all around is great. However, I've got to fault you on skimping on interiors. Very nice ship otherwise though.

Brethren of the Brick Seas (BoBS) Intro Thread, Era II
Mesabi replied to Bregir's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
@LM71Blackbird Great to get another Corlander, and i can't wait to see what you come up with for your intro. As the other member of the WTC, if you do like chaos, insanity, and evil, the WTC would be happy to receive you as well. We like to use the tusken raider torsos as our uniforms, so we have a little different colours than the rest of Corrington. Although @Bregir is a madman and uses blue torsos for high ranking officers . -

[COR-CWW] The Cocovia wagonway: a royal collaboration
Mesabi replied to Brickwolf's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Yet another entry to the railroad! additionally: WTC Build 1: 1024 WTC Build 2: 1024 ETTC Build: 2034 @Faladrin: 1024 @Drunknok: 1024 @Bregir: 1024 Total: 7,154 studs out of 10,000 Keep at it people! -
Location: Cocovia Type: Minichallenge build The Super Precarious Bridge had been built to cross a gorge on Cocovia Super precarious bridge by North White, on Flickr The Plans had called for them to go at an easier crossing. Super precarious bridge by North White, on Flickr But The WTC is also awesome at building bridges for some reason FIN Just another entry to @Brickwolf's minichallnege. I was originally going to use these for the supports, but it made everything look too pink, and I'm not @Bodi . I didn't really have a story envisioned for this one, which is what most of you seem to come here for, so sorry. Maybe I'll rewrite it. This entry should be considered a 16x48, but if the powers that be otherwise, I suppose it could be reduced. C&C appreciated!
-
Very nice build Drunknok, both halves are great, and I should have commented sooner. I love the little details of the office half, the cookies on the tray are an especially good detail. But your wagonway half is even better, it really captures the feel of the jungle, and the idea of the wagonway. And your story is great too. Absolutely fantastic build mate!

[COR-CWW] The Cocovia wagonway: a royal collaboration
Mesabi replied to Brickwolf's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Another entry to your fine railroad, @Brickwolf! this is a 32x32 submission -
Location: Mesabi Landing/ Cocovia Type: Minichallenge build Mordo headed up to Agnes's office with the monthly newspaper The Office by North White, on Flickr "Um, about the hole in the-" Agnes cut him off "Candle fell on the TNT. What's the latest?" The Office by North White, on Flickr "So, first off... The Grand Cocovia Railway has stalled out. It's over budget and over time. They're opening the project to other nations in a last ditch effort to complete it." Mordo summerized "What!?! Other nations?" Agnes yelled "We built them a dock, right?" "The dock doesn't really help to further the railroad. Anyways, the Sea Rats have-" Agnes rose from her chair. The Office by North White, on Flickr "No, we have to deal with this. Charter me a ship to Cocovia. You're in charge while I'm gone." "But!" "No Buts!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A WEEK LATER The Tavern by the tracks was where most of the railworkers spent their days. Traffic was busy in King's harbor, and the railroad was often delayed by passing carts. Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr Inside, workers happily chatted, ignoring their duty to the railroad. A Union had formed, and while contracts were negotiated, work would not be completed. Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr The door opened, and Agnes Mesabi walked in, flanked by Pete Zanzibar, and two yellow jacket soldiers. Agnes fired her gun. Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr "Now which one of you is in charge of the union?" she yelled angrily Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr "That'd be me, miss, and you better watch yourself, because I know a few guys who could talk some sense into you. But I'm not the kind of man who starts fights." Said the Union leader Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr Agnes said nothing and walked over to the bar. "A bottle of your finest," she asked politely. Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr The Union leader began to walk back to the table. Agnes began to down the bottle. Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr Finishing it, she flipped it, turned and smacked the man on the back of the head. He fell with a groan. Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr "Gentlemen?" she asked. "Show this man how the WTC operates...." Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr The two yellow jackets began to punch and kick the man, while he cried in agony. "The WTC will be helping to assure the project is finished." Said Agnes coldly. "And you can forget your union. We don't do unions." Unionist Tavern by North White, on Flickr She turned to the bartender. "Another of your finest." She said with a smile. FIN Thanks for viewing my first actual entry into the CWW challenge. My last one wasn't up to snuff, so I'd like to offer this one, and possibly some more. I hope you don't feel we have @Brickwolf. All shares created by me are to be given to the crown. C&C appreciated!

Honestly, I'd just like some latitude and longitude , as I feel that's not the kind of thing to come up in game. Also, it'd be nice to know what kind of projection is being used... Also, I'd say that the Corrington should probably know the size of the world, as the ancient Greeks did. But that's just me. I don't really expect any answers.

We really need @SkaForHire

Well, I thought about mirroring it, but I didn't think it was necessary. Looks like I have some mirroring to do! Yup! I took the map that @Mike S provided, (Which I assume is accurate) and changed the scale till it was the same as the real world map Mercator I think. But for all I know @SkaForHire used Tobler or some other one Look mate. I took the map, with the scale, and made the scale fit a real world map. That's what happened. I'm not overestimating or underestimating anything. I just did a photoshop thing.
