Seeing as he's mentioned Union soldiers, I presume he's talking about Wild West. As for buying brown pieces, bricklink would be your best bet ;-)

I just bought The Race for the Stolen Treasure and Dwarf Mine Defender, and I love them both! *wub* I love the dwarfs and orcs even more in person, and the orc helmet looks much better than I thought. Race for the Stolen Treasure is an amazing set, the detail on the vehicles are beautiful :'-) I'll be going back tommorow too, to either get Temple Escape, Troll Attackship or a couple of the smaller castle sets *sweet* 2008 (finally) ON!

Heh, a lovely little vig you've made there, simple but effective. I love the studless look, and the water is very well done. The baby looks great too, although it looks like his teeth grew quickly! X-D Very nice, keep up the good work.

Second entry posted. I'm pretty pleased with it *sweet*

Having recently seen the movie "Sin City", I was very impressed, especially by the visual aspect. Thus, I have created a few vignettes of the scenes from the movie (and comics). Both of these ones are from the story "That Yellow Megablok". My photoshop skills are rather lacking, but I'm quite pleased with how these turned out. Here they are.. Hartigan in prison: Compared to the actual scene: MOC in colour: Hartigan stabs 'the yellow megablok': Another shot (I was lazy while photoshopping this one): One more shot (in full colour): Enjoy! Feedback much appreciated *sweet*

Day 5, Morning Light spread across Gold City as the sun rose from under the hills. The town gathered together once more, although one was missing. Near the bank, the body of Tanotrooper was found. From his clothing it became obvious he was a Local Indian. Another Townie had been killed. Grim as ever, the town entered the saloon. Username_Taken, ImperialScouts and Trexxen arrived slightly later, all looking rather tired. ImperialScouts limped behind the other two, and once the three latecomers arrived, heated debate began once more in the town. Meanwhile, a cavalry squad arrived from the nearby fort of Legoredo, to see how the progress was going. Angry to see that no bandits had been lynched, they began placing wanted posters all over the town. With the town's demise not far away, the town became more determined to rid themselves of the banditsand finally be free.

Gold City is a place where bandits roam freely, and take what they please from the good people of the town. Although the Sherriff and his deputy can sometimes bring law to the lawless folk, but the gangs of bandits are far too numerous to be completely destroyed. The Mayor agrees something needs to be done. He announces that every day, the towns-people will vote on who will be lynched. Finally, order could be restored in Gold City. Past Storylines: Day 5, Sunset caswindu was taken to the gallows, to the sound of curses from the audience. It had become clear to the town that he was a bandit, despite his uniform. The sheriff tied a knot around the poor fellow's neck, and the crowd watched caswindu hang. It was painfully obvious he was the Cavalry Officer. The town's demise was almost certain now, as there were now as many bandits as there were townies. The few remaining people of the town hoped to change that, and loaded up their guns for the coming night... Day 5, Morning Light spread across Gold City as the sun rose from under the hills.

With the town's demise not far away, the town became more determined to rid themselves of the banditsand finally be free. Day 4, Night Tanotrooper passed through the streets, seemingly pleased with his work during the day. He walked past the local bank before coming to a sudden halt. He stood where he was, transfixed, staring at a loaded pistol aimed at his head. He began to shout, but the noise of the gunshot drowned it out. Tanotrooper was left on the ground, covered in a red liquid. Day 4, Sunset The town had decided. wouwie13 was to be put to death. Suspicions arose about the man from the very beginning, and his disgustingly curvy name did nothing but further prove he was a lowly bandit. The sherriff strung ol' wouwie up and hung the poor man. After a thorough search of his house, it was discovered that he was infact a (Townie). "Why don't we just search their houses to begin with?" asked an inquisitive sherriff. the mayor scoffed. "Keep up that additude, son and you'll be the next one lynched." And so the day ended, after a rather peculiar 120 hours, and darkness fell upon Gold City. Several town members loaded up their revolvers, and prepared for the grim upcoming night.. Day 4, Morning A rooster cried, greeting the new day. The sun rose above the barren mountians, unleashing light upon the old town. The townspeople got out from their beds, still tired. They gathered at the saloon, happy to see that, once again, everyone had survived the night. Almost immediatly though accusations started flying, occasionally interrupted by the swilling of alcohol. Nothing unusual there. Day 3, Sunset The town had decided. lukeiamyourfather was to be hung. The poor man hardly had time to even defend himself. He was taken to the gallows, much to the delight of the crowd. "But wait, I'm innocent!" he screamed, but the time for talking was over. lukeiamyourfather was hung. His house was searched. Items found there were a whip, luggage, and a picture of a stagecoach. It seemed the man hung was none other than the local Stagecoach Driver. Another loyal citizen had been killed. The sky darkened, and the town went back to their houses for the night. Others stayed behind and loaded up their guns, knowing that now was the time to strike.. Day 3, Afternoon The sherriff took a break from his tireless efforts investigating and headed to the saloon for a drink or two. He sipped at his grog, only to be interrupted by a loud racket out back. The sherriff left his table and ran to the noise. He rammed the door open to find TheBrickster hanging from the ceiling on a noose. The sherriff sprung into action, quickly cutting the rope on which theBrickster was tied. TheBrickster tumbled to the floor, gasping for breath, and the sherriff let out a sigh of relief. TheBrickster was saved, but it would take him a while to recover from the incident. Meanwhile, the Mayor sat in his office impatiently, furius at the inactivity of the town. He doubted the town would ever be rid of criminals at this rate. The arrival of a mysterious man hadn't seemed to rouse the townies, despite the new information he had about some of the citizens. Will this information save this good town, or will it serve only to dismantle the remaining law left in the damned town. Day 3, Morning A rooster cried, greeting the new day. The sun rose above the barren mountians, unleashing light upon the old town. The townspeople got out from their beds, still tired. They gathered at the saloon, happy to see that, once again, everyone had survived the night. Almost immediatly though accusations started flying, occasionally interrupted by the swilling of alcohol. Nothing unusual there. There was about to be something very unusual, though. The saloon doors flapped open, and a ragged looking stranger walked in. This stranger went by the name of Username_Taken, and although none knew him, he seemed to know quite alot about them... Day 2, Sunset The townspeople had been confronting each other left, right and centre and had come to no conclusion. The mayor sighed. "We'll continue in the morning.." The townspeople returned to their houses, even more suspicous of each other.. Day 2, Midday The Day was getting late, and the mayor was getting impatient. The inhabitants of Gold City, paranoid as ever, had spent most of the day trying to lynch everyone in sight. The mayor finally stood up, furious. "Why you dirty yellow-bellied cowards! You folk are the most indecisive lot I've ever layed eyes on! Ya'll better finish this here investigation soon, or we're going to bed lynch-less tonight!" With those wise words, the town once again began to route out the criminals from the good town. Or tried to atleast ... Day 2, Morning It had been a long and restless night. No doubt the bandits had been busy. The town awoke to the call of a rooster. All but the Brickster... he slept a few minutes longer. The town gathered together at the gallows, surprised to see everyone still alive. Rumours had already started spreading however, and it surely wouldn't be long until someone joined ricecracker in the graveyard. Day 1, Sunset ricecracker had been the name on the lips of many of the townspeople the whole day. Not the delicious snack either, but one of the citizens. ricecracker had tried to prove his innocence, claiming to be the deputy sherriff, but the town was having none of it. Ricecracker was taken to the gallows and hung.. Ricecracker's badge fell to the floor, with the word 'DEPUTY' engraved on it. "Oops, looks like he was a Townie after all" said the mayor, his cheeks now a reddish colour. The townspeople, feeling rather silly, returned to their houses for the night, hoping the next day will be more successful. The bandits, however, loaded up their guns and prepared to rid themselves of a few more town members... Day 1, Morning The inhabitants of Gold City gathered around their trusted mayor, who clearly had something important to say. The noise of the townspeople died down as the mayor's booming voice echoed throughout the city. "This town is in great peril! Many a bandit has made this town their home, and now, something has to be done. As the mayor, I have come up with a solution - we will all search the town, trying to route out the outlaws, and finally free this town of evil. Anyone we find suspicious will be hanged. Now, harden your hearts for the coming task. Once this is all over, we will once again be able to roam freely without the threat of bandits!" The crowd cheered, despite the mayor's flawed system. For their spirits had been uplifted, and they would follow the mayor's plan the all the way, or die trying. The townspeople walked back to their homes, and so, presumeably, did the bandits. Inhabitants of Gold City - TheBrickster - Trexxen - Piranha - Hinckley (Replacing Quarryman) - ImperialScouts (Replacing Captain Ka-Boom) - casewindu (Replacing Capn Kirk 911) - Username_Taken The Graveyard - ricecracker: Lynched, Day 1 (Townie) - Was clearly loved by the entire town. - lukeiamyourfather: Lynched, Day 3 (Townie) - Being Luke's father did nothing to save this poor soul from being lynched. - wouwie13: Lynched, Day 4 (Townie) - His curvy name will no longer dishearten the good town. - Tanotrooper Shot, Night 4 (Townie) - His peace pipe will no longer cloud the minds of good people. - casewindu Lynched, Day 5 (Townie) -You could say 'case closed'. But that would be silly. 4 votes to lynch. Rules can be found in the Day 1 Thread. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me. Have Fun ;-)

Ah, those were nice little sets. I believe I bought 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9. These were at least a third of the cost of the impulses today. I'm not sure about how rare they were, but I got them all from a gas station.

*wub* You have an army that could rival even Bonaparte's! I like that the figs all have different faces, and some have different torsos, it makes it much more realistic. That mortar you made looks great too, as does that brickbuilt horse *y* Very impressive armies. Can we expect to see a large battle scene in the future? *wub* X-D

Just bought 7621 - Lost Tomb for 25% off. A very nice little set, with great parts, plus the Marion figure *wub* A great snake army builder too X-D

Due to Capn Kirk's inactivity, he's being replaced by casewindu.

Just to clarify, there were less bandits than townies to begin with. I've also got 5 more roles if anyone else is interested in playing.

I'd like to join too :-) Don't feel too bad - I have a strange feeling I'll be one too X-D

I found it. Here it is: Cover: 1st page (why colour of eyes is in there is beyond me...): Two sample pages:

Thanks for the great feedback everyone *wub* Here's a link to the scene if anyone's interested. Thanks again *sweet*

Nice idea, Brickster. Very cute, and quite a lot of information there by the looks of it. I remember getting a small booklet similar to this in one of the Lego Magazines. It included puzzles, comics, stickers and pictures of the sets. I'll check if I've still got it.

Very nice, Brickster :-) A great rendition of a great playmobil set! The BURP on the right is nice, but I feel that the brown BURP could do with a bit of work. The top of it looks a little too flat for me, and the side is rather plain. Adding some more shrubs and rocks would make it very nice though, as would adding one of these climbing up the side. ;-) Other than that small nitpick, this is a good little MOC. Are you planning on adding this to your existing jungle scene?
