LM71Blackbird

Thanks! Yes, the palm tree has one of the large flex tubes in the center. Looking forward to some more battle scenes as the war heats up on El Oleonda!

If this is how you build and present... you're gonna fit right in with Corrington! Lovely presentation, and the build itself is really well made. I'm a big fan of good figure posing, especially in digital builds, and you nailed it. Looking forward to seeing Peter Nash (architect), and his story develop. If you ever find yourself in Quinnsville, Mayor Brickford will welcome the quality craftsmanship!

Another nice use of those hovercraft bases! I've seen plenty of shipbuilding builds, its a welcome change for a ship breaker. The half broken hulls look great as well. built just enough to know they are boats.

Wonderful farm! The variety of animals is nice to see. Looks like you've been collecting! There goes my lego budget now...

Welcome to Corington @Bricksbypidy! Obviously the best choice! (Although some opinionated individuals may not agree...)

Thanks! Thank you! Looking forward to some more battle dioramas with the Seawatch Campaign. Thanks! I'm sure the volley fire will still come later but not during an ambush! I tried to pack as much action in a tight area as I could! I pulled the 45th Regiment of foot info off of this list of British Regiments of Foot. They were first raised during the War of Jenkins' Ear in 1739. Around 1741 they were ranked as 45th Foot or the 2nd Marines. I've also got the 45th listed in the Compendium. However, I do think you are right on the nomenclature. I can very easily adjust them to the 45th Company of Marines which would be better for organizing purposes in our growing ranks! Thank you!

Jungle Shootout, Seawatch Following a successful meeting with General Alonzo of the Weelond 2nd Battalion, Major Brickford along with the small detachment of Marines from the 45th Regiment of Foot began to make the short trek back to Corrie Headquarters. At a bend in the road flanked by a short fence and dense brush, Major Brickford got the feeling of being watched. It was well known the Lotii are masters of stealth and were not pleased by the formation of joint forces of the Seawatch Campaign. Jungle Shootout 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Not moments later shots began to ring out from within the jungle. It seemed to be an evenly matched fight. Jungle Shootout 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Quickly dismounting his horse and sending it running towards the Corrie encampment, Major Brickford formed a defensive position with what cover was available and ordered his men to return fire on the Lotii Skirmishers barely visible through the brush. Jungle Shootout 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr When shots were heard in the distance at Corrie HQ followed by Major Brickford's horse with no rider, a detachment of the 18th Hussars 'The Lightfoot' quickly mounted up and rushed to aid the pinned down Major and his men. Jungle Shootout 5 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Adept at riding in through the jungle terrain with speed after many months of patrols, the gallant hussars of the 18th charged through a gap in the brush with swords drawn. In the end one Lotii lay dead in the grass and the remaining skirmishers ran at the sight of 'The Lightfoot' charging in. --------------------------------------- A small firefight between the Corrington Marines and the Lotii. A build to depict some action in the war and to include some of my new parts from AE. Namely the Chinese and British minifigs as well as kneeling legs and Brickarms Perfect Caliber Muskets. C&C are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking!

Another nice mining build and good to have another operational one in Quinnsville. Now we've got Saltpeter, Copper, and Gold (When I build the mine for it)!

The clear bricks work great for salt ore. Simple build, but still give the feeling of a deep mine packed with ready to explode total shelf stable WTC TNT!

That heron is great. I don't think I've seen a brick built one in BoBs yet. The background is nice as well. It gives it the feeling of some minifigs finishing up a hard days work and suddenly finding a precious metal to end the day!

Nicely done! I'm a big fan of masonry bricks, especially the white ones!

Nicely done! Aqueducts are not something that we see a lot in the Brick Seas. I like the earthy colors even if it is just a small fraction of your pieces.

Nice to see the Fraunces' are exploring more options for honest trade! Impressive build with lots of cool details. I'm always a fan of big builds and the scale is well excuted.

The build turned out great! The canoe is nice, and that is a great use for broken brown tiles. Also, I think that you nailed the minifigures as well. A from me.

Argh! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone on the Brick Seas!

Another beautiful ship for the ETTC! Fantastic work.

Thanks Mesabi! Yes, I agree. Next time I'll cover up those studs, it will give it more of a fabric look. Thanks Ross! Thanks! Thanks! Thick foliage is one of my favorites to build. No apologies necessary! Just glad we could get the ball rolling.

At least the respect and fear is mutual!

What a Beautiful Behemoth! I hope to only see her from afar!

I'm quite enjoying all these different tree techniques your trying out! Compiling them all into a single topic might be a cool idea for future reference.

This is one of those build that is just fun to look at. The posing of the minifigs is awesome, the building story is a nice read and the scene looks like dense jungle without losing sight of the action. And yes, Battle Nuns are good and I hope to see more of them!

Fantastic build! Lots of really nice details, but it still has that classic pirates feel to it. The two tier dock is a neat idea as well.

Jungle Meeting When unexpected news reached the Corrie landing party of a sizeable force of Greenbacks that had also made landfall not far from their position, plans were made to establish contact with them. Brigadier Allcock, tasked Major Brickford with reaching out as quickly as possible to ensure there would be no hinderances to the Seawatch Campaign. Jungle meeting 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr With a small detachment of Royal Marines, Major Brickford advanced a short way through the jungle to the entrance of the Eslandolian encampment that was already beginning to take shape. He was greeted by a few regulars of the Weelond 2nd Battalion and General Alonzo personally made his way over to extend his hand in peace, although everyone remained alert as the Lotii were reportedly still in the area. Jungle meeting 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Major Brickford brought with him a letter from Brigadier Allcock explaining the situation they faced in Seawatch and beyond and also the hope that they could work together to secure the New Haven Sea to allow for safe travel and trade between nations. Jungle meeting 4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Major Brickford and the rest of the Corrie Command will await the General's response. @Capt Wolf. ---------------------------------- An overview of the entire build: C&C are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking!

A ship under full sail never gets old! I like the shaping and we don't see to many ships with that much orange but I like it. I'm sure she will serve the Royal Navy well. A from me.

The windmill is superb, but the top down view of the whole farm with the barns and fields is really nice. You get the feel that this is just a piece of a much larger plantation. Great to see a windmill as well. Not many have been built in the Brick Seas!
