My cat B entries :

My next chapter was built too : here

This is a nice one, very simple, but smart... I like the deck panels, how are they built ?

previously Doctor's Thaum diary Celestia, North of Vanilla Bay, January 618, the 7th Celestia Superb Orchid Search, 3rd day We leaved the Vanilla Bay shores for the northwestern cliffs of the island, as we passed close to the jungles, we could see some caracteristic fauna like a beautiful chameleon, also well drew by Iauln (Fig 2). We find a very stange flower, with an exceptionnaly developped pistil (no doubt that this is a specie of arum ) I think this pistil is oversized for better falling down the cliff and be carried by the sea to the stamen. (Fig 1) Fig 1 Fig 2 third built for the orchid search (and second Cat B) C&C welcome

I like this scene, the table is busy without being overloaded. I like the furniture too

I love the cabin, and the bed of captain old beard... are the table and chair the same as the ones in your built for ship limit bypass ?

Another great rock job and a nice scene (the mouse )

That's a very nice one... I like the way you used the side wedge

That's a very nice first ship, a cool cutter, with a cool figurehead !!!

Doctor's Thaum diary Jameston, January 618, the 5th Celestia Superb Orchid Search, 1st day After a momentous air travel with Callaghan, my dear Iauln and the magnificent Sven, followed by a recordative crash near the shore, we catch the Garret twins up in Jameston. All was ready for the expedition, as I've asked, and I am very pleased ! Today we walked along the shore of Celestia, heading north, along the beautifull Vanilla Bay, I was amazed by the profusion of flora and fauna, what a healthy shore !! The waters are so great provider that we met a very special crab (Fig 1) , with a very high body mass index, he certainly greatly benefits of the fishy shore. As we never met such a crab, Sven decide to name it a cancer pagurus gigas. Iauln tried to catch it with its dip net but didn't succeed. However, he drew a pretty good image of it. We also found a strange five-stemed plant (Fig 2) , with very poor roots (only to grab the sandy ground) which seems to feed on sea spray's salt. As for the gigantic crab, we called it a Svenia Saltis. Iauln, drew it fine too, he is a talented drawer for sure.

The oleonese one, is up too

and this interesting school is the last up

mine too

Another up for a great Cat A entry

Basta of the trials, I will up all the Challenge related built... first

aaaaaaaaaah ! At last there is something else than those disgusting trials !! What a lovely ship ! And a nice idea to avoid the rigging ! The hull is really good, the dock is really a classy one, and the treadmill crane is awesome ! I noticed that there are lots of parrots near fuerte unido !

I won't comment anything else than the built itself (because I have no interest at the ongoing skirmish) Very nice built and very nice trial... they always should be like that I hope the same for captain Tyrrell (you've been a baaaad boy)

And so the exploring team is : The doctor Thaum and Iauln, his apprentice. Callaghan and the professor Sven Rowaan (the magnificent Sven of Pontelli) The Garret twins

INDEX Summary Chapter 1: Prelude to departure Chapter 2 : Go east ! - - - - - SUMMARY Status: Chapter 2 Participating members Professor Thaum Participating vessels Andromeda Point of start: Tortuga Characters Doctor Thaum and his merry men ( Capt. Barney Wolf, Bosun Saul Spillet, apprentice Iauln, the trusted Callaghan and the crew of Andromeda even if Dr Thaum and some characters will leave for other destination during the hunt ) Troops None --------------------------------------------------------- A strange man awaited for the Andromeda at the port of Pontelli, he called himself the Magnificent Sven, he quickly ask for a meeting with the doctor Thaum. This one understanding that the man was a story of his own invited him on the Andromeda and they spent many time in the doctor's cabin in the ship. Then, the man return to the city. The following morning, the Andromeda left Pontelli for the high sea, the sailors then quickly set a floating dock just beside the ship. In the turquoise blue sea offshore of Pontelli : Callaghan : Doctor, you sure he will come ? We are far away of the shore now. And this jury-rigged dock looks bad to me ! Dr Thaum : Sure he will Callaghan ! Just have a look up ! Magnificent Sven : Ship ahoy !! Callaghan : gasp !! doctor what's this !!! Dr Thaum : A balloon of course ! Iauln : Great !! A few seconds later, the flying ballon crashed into the sea near the floating dock Dr Thaum : Welcome aboard, Sven, your balloon is not perfect, indeed, but I think we may do some odd jobs for it ! So you say you need a more effcient flying balloon to reach Celestia, isn't it ? Sven : Yes, the search for the mythical orchid has begun, and I wouldn't miss this !! And I have no ship for the travel ! I only have my balloon ! Dr Thaum : Now that I can see it, I've noticed that this is a closed one ! Sven : Yes, I fill it with hot air, then knot it and let him rise ... Dr Thaum : ...and when the air is not enough hot anymore, you fall... Sven : Yes... Dr Thaum : You won't go to Celestia with such a tricky mean of transport... Sven : That's why I came to you... **** almost 3 hours vanished in scientific talks**** Dr Thaum : The solution is a constant flow of hot air through the balloon, with a portable fire just below the ballon mouth. Sven : But, it's impossible to have enough wood, paper or coal to make a descent fire aboard the balloon ! Dr Thaum : Sure, but I discovered something while testing new oven for a rum distillery, the heated steam toss a copper dome against the ceiling, and it stayed a while before crashing to the ground, I have this steam bottled and I always keep some with me... Sven : They seem so light ! Dr Thaum : Beware Sven, I not sure it will not explode. Arnold is setting a big tank of this on a row boat and Callaghan will attach the balloon to the boat, and then we will fly to Celestia !! Sven : You come with me ??!! Dr Thaum : Sure, The Great Celestia Orchid... I'm tempted ! Iauln and Callaghan will come too ! Iauln : Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!! Callaghan : Eh !!??? PLAOUUUUF !! Dr Thaum : You're a bonehead Callaghan !!! Stop playing in the sea and set up the yards on the balloon ! *** and finally*** Sven : Oliver ! this is wonderful !! A true miracle !!! With this balloon we will make a round-the-world trip !!! Dr Thaum : Keep calm my friend, we certainly needed to refuel in Tortuga before reaching Celestia. Iauln : I am the king of the world !!!! Wouh ! Wouh !! Wouh !!! Callaghan : Heavens !! We will all soon die !! Dr Thaum : Shut up and row Callaghan !! This balloon, the sails and the boat are good stuff... no risk ! Sven : Wonderful !!! This is wonderful !!! Dr Thaum : Bye Barney !! You carry on with the Andromeda, find the LaCrosse and Red Oktober, I will comeback as soon as possible !! Capt. Wolf : OK Oliver, have a nice trip ! The doctor, Iauln and Callaghan are off AMRCA for the Celestia Orchid hunt, but the Andromeda and its crew remain on duty. C&C welcome.
