LM71Blackbird

I've already got a royal educational thats been almost finished for like a year... lol. I gotta finish it soon...

Thanks! Yeah, now that you mention it, I should have brought the rocks to the end of the baseplate. Something to remember for next time! Agreed! I plan to get Quinnsville bumped up to Large City before the year is out! Thanks!

Another wonderful build for the settlement of Quinnsville! Cocoa can have some thick jungle, but I'm sure the inventive WTC will figure a way through it!

It will be good to have you back @Mesabi! Not a whole lot happened in your absence.... besides a boat race no one really did a ton over the summer.

I say break it down and build something bigger and better!

Thanks! The rail is actually just perspective. It's flat and level, but the angle of the render gave it what I was looking for.

Saltpeter Mine, Licensed saltpeter mine 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr

Saltpeter Mine Many Months ago, the Clerks in the Colonial Ministry found what appeared to be some lost prospecting samples from Quinnsville dated from May 616! Upon further inspection, it was made known to be of a rare saltpeter deposit. Namely the first in all of the New World. Because of the importance of such a discovery and with the help of the WTC now operating in Quinnsville, a mine was set up to extract this ore from the depths of Cocovia! saltpeter mine 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr One of several veins found, here in the corner of a cliff face, a mine shaft has begun to take shape with the help of ever useful gunpowder and hand tools. Off to one side, the foreman is inspecting a few of the recently extracted samples. -------------------------------- The saltpeter mine in Quinnsville is finally up a running! C&C welcome and apprecieated and thanks for looking!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed reading it!

It took over a year, but the next issue of the Quinnsville Chronicler is here!

Quinnsville Chronicler - Volume 3, Issue 1 - September 619 From the desk of Mayor Richard Brickford. Military Commander Returns from Fatu Hiva - Many months ago, our own Major Nathaniel Brickford sailed to the island of Fata Hiva on the Ship-of-the-Line HMS Dominance with a battalion of Quinnsville's finest. After doing some investigative work, trekking through the jungle and setting up a base of operations, the Major fearlessly led his troops into battle. Since the Natives were only armed with simple weapons when compared to the muskets and sabers of Corrington, the tribe was quickly dispatched. The rumors of caves of Gold turned out to be false but some crystal and flora was recovered for scientific purposes. In the end, the natives were an isolated threat deep within the jungle as Olean was able to rid itself of the real despicable individuals causing so much trouble near the settlement. Albeit, the Major and his men did manage to make the interior safer for the inhabitants as well. After spending many months on a sort of humanitarian mission in the settlement, Quinnsville welcomes the brave troops back home! Quinnsville shipyards production - The shipyards of Quinnsville are reported to have begin to step up production again after a lackluster performance throughout the summer. Only one ship was fully completed, the Razerbill, and only one ship now calls the port of Quinnsville home, namely the Schooner Northern Ganet. Several ships are in the works for the trade fleet and even more are scheduled for use by the Royal Navy. Pier experiences more expansion - The Marine Surveyor opened it's doors late last year and has been doing a wonderful job keep the ports of Quinnsville safe, organized, and on schedule. Not too far away, a local roper has opened up a shop on the water front and is constantly busy filling new orders! New Advances in Artillery? - The Cannon Factory of Quinnsville has been producing some quizzical new guns for use on the battlefield. Only time will tell if they will actually prove useful! Free land to Artisans looking to expand their craft - As mayor of Quinnsville I am currently offering free land plots to any citizen of any nation looking to set up a factory or artisan in Quinnsville. I, the mayor of Quinnsville, will personally reimburse the purchase price with a bonus from my personal funds to anyone who does so. This offer stands until the next issue of the Quinnsville Chronicler is released.  We thank you for choosing to reading this addition of Cocovia's number one news source. ------------------------------------------------------ It took over a year, but the next issue of the Quinnsville Chronicler is here! This issue is mainly a recap of builds and such, including me wrapping up my trip to Fatu Hiva for Challenge II. Hopefully you enjoyed reading and see you in the next issue!

A great addition to the settlement. Mayor Brickford approves of the new structure!

A most beautifully crafted ship! Fantastic work from end-to-end and from top-to-bottom!

The humble mayor of Quinnsville will also hope to join these ranks in time...

Very convincing middle eastern build! Great execution!

Cool design! Looks like it will help out a lot.

Perfect. Works for me. Thanks for the clarification!

Now, can we use photos found on google or does the entire 'logo' need to be ours from start to finish? @Bregir, @Roadmonkeytj

Definitely going to try my hand at this contest! Excited to see what we all come up with! I also agree with the suggestions made by @Khorne

Most likely! Didn't work to well for the French in the 1800s though. Probably just my American side coming out though...

Cool! Maybe I'll try my hand at some photoshop...

As usual, a most stunning build indeed! I never tire of your white and red building style!

I'm definitely getting in on this! I'll get a mine for the saltpeter set up in Quinnsville, so anyone can reference it and/or build something in Quinnsville. Feel free to PM me if you want to coordinate something particular in the settlement.

That would be a fantastic way to implement this idea!

Down with the Monarchy! Give me liberty or give me death! Long live the Revolution! Wait... what?? Great builds! Like others mentioned, good job of making a few minifigures look like a large angry mob. Can't wait to see how this progresses...
