    Thanks for the very helpful advice guys. I think my technical issue is simply the Eurobricks upgrade so everything looks different here, I just need to get used to it. I have read Bregir's update thoroughly, it all seems clear enough. Except that back in July Corrington was no.1 nation; what happened? I guess people like me stopped pulling their weight! It will take me a few days to get back into everthing, but i have already started some building.

    The return of Hawksbrugh? Hello noble Corringtonians. I have been away for a long time...since July in fact! My creative life got taken over by decorating my house, from top to bottom, and my new hobby with the family, cycling. But the house is done, and I am thinking about redirecting my creative energies to BoBS. I am trying to work out a story to get Hawksbrugh back in the game, and to explain where he has been for the last eight months. And I have a couple of builds in the pipeline. If and when I do return, I need to be more aware of all else that is going on in my life and not over commit to BoBS which I did last time. Anyway, it would really help me if someone could share the proper BoBS web address with me, as I can currently only access it via eurobricks, and the interface is quite awkward. Also, if anyone is feeling generous, maybe they could do a couple of hundred words summarising all that has happened with Corrington and ECTC recently? Something about a war between Garvey and Eslandola? What are the best recent builds? Has Hawksbrugh grown rich in his absence? And what have you all been up to? I have a day off work tomorrow so will devote the day to catching up and some building. For Corrington and the Queen!

    I looked closely but I couldn't see an aXXe anywhere. Seems to me he was using two daggers! But seriously folks, a nice little action build. Best use of a duckling in a fight scene that I've seen this year!

    This really made me laugh: 'Licensed as a small Artisan business.' But why not? A first for BOBS I think, thanks for the originality and for the laughs.

    To Alberto da Pontelli Dated this 22nd day of July in the 616th year After Empire My dear Alberto, This is splendid and very exciting news! I must confess myself dumbfounded by the success of the spider experiment. I am now certain you have the genuine article. I hear that Don Montoya of the Royal Society may be fitting out an expedition to Pontelli to seek out a living specimen of this wondrous beast. This could change natural history forever! Your great and somewhat envious admirer, John

    What a beauty! Sleek lines, rich colours, neat figure head, perfect sails, bristling with guns, and all topped off with by a stout crew of Corlander's finest. Corland truly rules the waves! I am intrigued by the sails; are these Star Wars pieces? One small addition might be some swivel guns mounted fore and aft, she is currently defencelss in these directions. Having said that, most pirates will surely flee, or surrender, at first sight of such a queen of the seas.

    Of all the fountain challenge stories I have read so far, I think this is the best, makes the fountain seem actually believable rather than magical. And leaves the end hanging as well...I guess we might hear more of this story at some point? And the characters round the pool made me laugh; great chocie! It really looks like Olympus.
  8. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    Great story, I loved the curse idea. And a lovely series of builds, especially the last one which is very clever. Just one thing I don't understand though; if he found the fountain, how come he died at the end?
  9. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    Great start for the ETTC cocoa business. Really nice use of the two colours, and lovely windows two; an interesting choice not to use window pieces but it works really well on a wharehouse build. Nice roof line too. And for a build that is little more than a facade, you have got a lot squeezed into the interior. I am looking forward to seeing how this whole cocoa business develops over the next couple of months.
  10. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    Well I know you rushed this but that 2nd last picture of the ghost boat is just great, genuinely scary. I don't know how you did the lighting but its great. Good idea for the stoy too; the fountain becomes a curse not a blessing.
  11. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    So they made it! Well done fellas. But what are they going to do now, just pack up and go home? Where is that skull piece from?
  12. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    Thanks for the clarification. The girls are asleep now but I will up date them in the morning. On a personal note, I forgot to say how much liked that second photo with its 'minfig-eye view'. Its really 'Indiana Jones'

    'I just wanted to poke fun at how various historic events are "preserved."' What can you possiby mean? I can't imagine. Great build which made me smile, I think you've nailed it very nicely. Will Calvo return home to a hero's reception or a hanging...or maybe both?
  14. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    'This build is awesome' says my youngest daughter. 'But why build it from the top down?' My elder daughter comments 'It was a very interesting story, but how come the skeletons died? Surely nobody would be stupid enough to just sit there until they died?' Legostone, maybe you could answer these penetrating questions for us.

    Hilarious ending! No happily ever after round here; I always thought that was a pretty stupid ending to the Goldlilocks story anyway; burgle their house, steal their food and bed, but the bears just say 'uh, whatever, let's be friends Goldilocks'. So much to love here, most of which has been commented on already. I am really enjoying these builds where a number of small vignettes are used to tell the story. Just to say that both me and my daughter enjoyed it a lot.

    To Alberto da Pontelli Dated this 19th day of July in the 616th year After Empire My dear Alberto, News has reached me that you have discovered what appears to be a unicorn skeleton in your garden. Forgive me, but I must confess I am a little sceptical. I fear someone may be 'pulling your leg' as they say. However, whether or no this is a genuine unicorn is easily tested by the following ingenious method of the Ancients: Grind up a little of the horn into powder. Place the powder in a circle on the floor. Set down a spider in the middle of the circle. If the horn is genuine, the spider will not cross it and will remain in the circle. If it is a fake, as I suspect, the spider will shortly leave the circle. I am confident of this method, it is recommended by the best sources, viz: http://www.telegraph...ety-review.html I remain sir, your friend and fellow scientist, John

    I would like to apolgise for the previous post. George Da Pontelli made me do it! Still, I was quite proud of getting 11 different kinds of monkey into a single post.
  18. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    Very nicely done; two small and simple MOCs used to tell a great story. Good luck to Thaddeus and his crew!
  19. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    Captain, you need to stop monkeying around! I don't want to pry mate, but will you grivet a rest with all the monkey stuff? Man, drill down further in your next MOC. You've made a real howler with that flag. But don't despair, capuchin up and your head held high, no need to langur in misery, I've spider better future ahead for you. Anyway I must dash, I've just discovered an e-bay shop for Japanese comics, its called Mangabey, I'm bidding against an Irishman, Col O'bus, a Scot called Tam Arin, an American lady named Olive Baboon, and a Frenchman, Francois Langur

    To the Directors of the Emporium This 19th day of July in the 616th year After Empire My friends, What a splendid addition to the skyline of our beloved Port Raleigh! Everytime I see its silhouette against the sky, by day or night, it gives me pleasure to know our little settlement is growing in both beauty and wealth. Keep up the good work. Your business associate, John Hawksbrugh

    To Alberto Da Pontelli Dated this 19th day of July in the 616th year After Empire My dear Alberto, How splendid it was to meet you at last here in Port Raleigh. I was sorry not to meet your wife, although I did enjoy meeting your simian companion. He is assuredly more intelligent, and better looking, than many of the Oleanders I met during my years of imprisonment! You were lucky to find me at home, the very next day I departed for a six week sojourn in Corrington, hence the delay in writing this letter. It was so stimulating to have the opportunity to discuss our scientific endeavours in person, the written word can be so limiting. Sadly I must tell you that my efforts to fly the 'sky boat' I showed you on your visit have failed. I got the craft airborne on several occassions but was unable to steer it. On the final occasion the phlogishpere was caught by the wind and crashed into the sea, Mr. Janzsen was on board at the the time and barely escaped with his life! Lady Norrington insisted I decease from my experiments, before someone deceases from my experiments, if you see what I mean. She is a most persuasive woman, and very fond of dear Mr Janzsen. I suspect that after the explosive results of your own experiments you too will turn your attention to other matters. After all, as a wise man has said, if the Gods had meant us to fly they would surely have given us wings! Nevertheless, I confess myself a little disappointed with this outcome. After settling my business affairs in Corrington (very satisfactorily I may say, I find myself with an unprecedented 400 doubloons in my purse), my thoughts are turning once again to the business of architecture rather than science, creating 'big fine houses' as I like to say. I have received two offers, one from the ETTC and one from Mr Janszen, i am currently carefully considering them. Both are on distant islands so most likely I will be travelling again soon, I hope I will be able to visit you at Pontelli en route. Following the Eslandolan custom, please warmly embrace your wife, Colonel Brickinson, and of course George, on my behalf. Your very affectionate friend and sometime scientific collaborator, John

    Fabulous build: I want to be there! I love what you've done with the curtains, and the floor, and the windows, and the crowd, and the piano, and, and, and... ...so let's go ape!
  23. Fuzzy MacFuzz
    My MOCs seem to be getting steadily bigger, but this one clearly shows that small is beautiful. Great attention to every little detail, nice job!

    Hi Narbilu, and welcome to BoBS! It is a lot of fun here. Do think carefully before you pick a faction as once you're in it is hard to get out! You would be most welcome to join Corrington. As a nation, Corries are scientific, organised, patriotic and rational. We are a small team that work together really well; much better than the other factions who seem to have a lot of internal disputes, especially Eslandola! Our team spirit has served us well in challenges and in merchant ventures and so far we are the most successful faction. We talk together in the private forums to make sure we have a joint aproach to building our faction and winning challenges etc. We manage to have a laugh and to enjoy each other's online friendship. Corrington has had great success with its merchant fleet but uses most of the profits to help the nation - mercantilism in action. If you are a team player and fancy working with us to build a great nation that would be wonderful. On the other hand, as Faladrin says, Eslandola is the faction for pure commerce; they are more individualistic and entrepreneurial (maybe that's why they argue so much!) and use their profits to further their own endeavours, so that may suit you better. I would say its about what kind of person you are and what you want to get from the game. As to your questions: being a merchant for the Queen is no problem and in his role as Miltary Attache to the Far Lands my sigfig Hawksbrugh promises that any settlements you create will receive military protection. You are very welcome to found your own setlement but Bregir is right; wait for the next challenge to finish then grab a new island all of your own. I would suggest Port Raleigh might be your initial base of operations, it is where Ska, Celes and I build. Other Corries will probably want you in their own settlements though, have a look at the settlement threads before deciding. I hope that helps. If you have any more questions, just ask.

    I read somewhere that if you took enough monkeys and gave them enough Lego and enough time they would eventually produce the entire MOCs of Captain Braunsfeld.
