    Thanks Thaum! Glad you like her shape. @Mesabi, as Bregir said, the tumblehome looks good and I think you could add a couple more of gun ports, there's plenty of space, unless you want to concentrate all the firepower on the bow? Are you going to play blackflag too? Time to build a Speedy. Thanks Bregir, it's indeed an ambitious project, a lot of repetitive works, and she's making a big hole in my brick stock.

    Welcome to Oleon, Ross Fisher, great to see a new member joining our rank! You've been added to the Estate General PM, too.

    Welcome to the Bobs, and to Oleon, the best faction. Very nice intro, and I really like your characters, can't wait to see more.

    Very neat house, the roof is very well built, and clever use of cheese slopes and of the lime plates ofc.

    @Legostone Thanks mate. Good point on the upper windows, I'll replace them with the one and half window, like the lower ones.

    @Spud The Viking It looks very good to me, I like the masts and the tiled deck, and the blue stripe works very well for an Oleon a Corrington ship. @Bregir That's a nice looking xebec, again, I like the blue stripe. I don't know much about the xebecs, what was their role in a fleet? And thank you for having mentioned the Licorne in your post, in fact she was built hurriedly during the Mardieran challenge, and I think this one is much better, which was built with much more attention, she even has ratlines. Lastly, an update of the second version of my 74-gun ship, there's still a lot of work to do but since we've launched the Oleon challenge, I think it's time to make some shameless advertising to attract potential members.

    It's on per-player basis, one entry per player.

    Great to see this posted, nice job Captain Genaro and Ayrlego!

    That's a band of...well, energitic young men, I like the one with the short.

    Nice build, Mesabi. I like the roof and wall texture, and there's quite a lot of shields on the wall.

    It's a nice looking little scene, Bart.

    Well, this picture also came to my mind when I read Chinese warships, what a coincidence! There was a lot debates among Chinese academicians, currently they tend to admit that the size of Zheng He's treasure ships recorded in "historic records" is largely exaggerated. Their size should be around 70 x 20m, with 5-6 mast, their displacement should be 2500-3000tons. The treasure ship on the picture should represent the largest ship of Zheng He's fleet, with a displacement of 10000 tons, and a length/width ratio of 1:2. Unfortunately, due to the limit of mechanical properties, a sail ship of this size is unsuitable for navigation, if it really existed, it should be served as a floating palace, moored in permanence.

    Great to see you finally got this build posted. The wall texture is really good and the little details like the grinder and the tables added a lot to the build, and I like the story.

    Very good build and a nice way to introduce your characters. I like the yellow and black tudor wall and the roof and the flex tube used to hang the flags.

    Clever use of the lance, or the flagpole, I have never seen this technique before. Good selection of minifigs too.

    @LM71Blackbird The overall hull shape looks good, I agree with Bregir concerning the curve and I'd like too add that, unlike the new prefab bow/stern pieces, the stern above waterline wasn't rounded, it's more flat, like the old stern piece we had during the 90's. Hmm, when we talk of these gigantic ancient Chinese ships, we should know that in ancient China, the historic records were rarelly written by historians or men of science, in fact they were often written by men of letters, who didn't know anything about naval engineering and they often didn't bother to measure the ships they were describing, and like all good fictionists, the things they described were often exagerated. So, in the "historic" records, the large junks were often descibed as gigantic, long of hundreds of meters, taller than the highest tower, etc. And what's funny is these terms were also used to describe the European sail ships (mainly the Dutch and Portugese ships) of the same era, gigantic, hundreds of meters long... We know that's not true.

    Thank you Kai! It isn't a large vessel but it was fun to build.

    Impressive build Mesabi, I'm glad to see the WTC investing more efforts on shipbuilding.

    Amazing story, great pics, it's good to see all the characters gathered on a same spot, good job with the snot beach. It seems that I'd better bet on Corries, they are numerically superior.

    A good looking residence, with nice interior details, and I like the color variation on the floor.
  21. Bodi
    I like the mansion with the Spud on it, the farming scene looks good too.
  22. Bodi
    This looks really good!The windmill is very well built, I like how you've built the sugar canes, and the rounded stone base.
  23. Bodi
    Brilliant idea to portray a pirate's life with bricks.
  24. Bodi
    Very good writing Captain Wolf, I was waiting anxiously the new issuance of this unique source of information, good job with this one!
  25. Bodi
    Nice diorame and amusing story. I like the sand beach and the palm trees.
