Awesome looking models!

@Phred / @Captain Genaro Just your monthly reminder to ask when the MRCA profits will be added to the accounts! Thanks a lot guys! Oh, and I noticed that my account totals are surrounded by parenthesis... What does that mean?

It's there, look at line 150. All the accounts are under your Eurobricks username, not Bobs character name.

Beautiful model! Outstanding work!

Sweet looking MOC! Keep up the awesome work!

Lol. I was just making a broad remark towards Mesabi's statement. Nothing against the WTC. Just from real history, when someone felt that the war outcome was already determined based on military power and might or money, they would of course be willing to go to war.

Lol... Said everyone who is on the winning side of things...

Great looking build Spud! Nice character intros as well. You packed so many awesome details into this build! One of my favorites is that door with the chrome on it.

Hahaha! Great looking catamarans! I like the design of them. Hopefully they last a bit longer than the class 0s...

A nice looking build Mesabi!

What a factory Roadmonkey! The two months of hard work really pays off! There are so many awesome details and cool things to look at. Just all around fantastic looking. Keep up the great work man!

Thanks a lot! I've tried several different methods for palm trees, and I think I've finally hit on one that I like! I'm glad that the build kept the jungle 'look' with the scaling down.

@Captain Genaro: Fixed!

Awesome! That won't be hard for me to do. Thanks again Captain Genaro for the help!

Really? That's on me then... I must have misread that... thanks for letting me know. Could @Captain Genaro, or @Bregir give me some advice to rectify this? Thanks!

Edit: Merged with above post.

Nuts! I knew was something else I wanted to add! I'll update the pictures later... Thanks! Yeah, I am pretty proud of the tree design.

[COR - CH II - Cat B] The Fatu Hiva Expedition - Into the Jungle ----------------------------- Part 1 of the Expedition. ----------------------------- Journal entry of Sergeant Anthony Andrews, Aide-De-Camp to Major Nathaniel Brickford. Day 10, With the help of some local fisherman and Major Brickford's leadership, we ferried our supplies from the HMS Resilience to the shore. It took a full days work to get everything off loaded and organized, but it was worth the effort. We were able to offer the residences of Fatu Hiva some valuable supplies including food and other goods. Considering their own government refused to lift a finger the local leadership was grateful that the Major was able to bring some of Corrington's abundance to help their overtaxed settlement. From there we checked our own supplies and packaged it up into our rucksacks. Before we left Quinnsville Major Brickford had commissioned some special uniforms to be made for the troops. Knowing we would be in the jungle and that red and white tend to stick out, he had a sort of 'camouflage' developed, consisting of a dark green jacket and black trousers. This way our movements should be less detectable to the savages and rival explorers. We rendezvoused with Tuk Tuk at his hut on the beach. After some brief discussion, Tuk Tuk told us of a path that leads straight into the jungle. He knows that particular area very well, because that is where he cultivates some of his bamboo for his kayaks. It was a 4mile march over sand and rocky terrain, but after an hour we finally reached the location. Into the Jungle 1.1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr The transition in terrain was far from gradual. As soon as the foliage starts you are immediately in thick jungle. Thankfully, since Tuk Tuk comes here often, there was a path leading straight through the overgrowth. Into the Jungle 1.2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Tuk Tuk began to fearlessly lead us through the jungle. Some of the men were a little jumpy at some distant noises, however Tuk Tuk assured as that it was just the ambient noises of the environment. While we were hiking, our guide let us know that we were headed to a clearing in the jungle that we could make a base camp at and from there look for the savage tribe. From memory, he believed that it was a 25 mile hike, which would be trying, but nothing to big for the best troops of Her Majesty's settlement of Quinnsville. Into the Jungle 1.3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr With a predetermined stopping point and a pep in our step, we marched on. We are currently making a temporary campsite so the men can rest for a few hours, but we will be back on our feet at first light to hike the remaining 10 miles to the clearing. ------------------------------------------------- This is my first entry for Category B. I'm having a lot of fun with this challenge so far, and this jungle scene was pretty cool to build. It is something new for me building wise, so hopefully you all like it as well! As usual, C&C are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking! More builds to come! This will be licensed as a small plantation in Fatu Hiva.

A great looking ship Legostone! I like all the detail work you've done on it. Yes, it would be a pity for it to sink on a trade run!

Thanks! I am much better in LDD because I have every brick at my fingertips! I've been thinking about doing some build with my physical bricks soon. I'll have to see how it goes though.

This all kind of reminds me of the precursors to World War I... I'll start the popcorn...

Yeah, I saw the Ironsides vs Sea Rats, and just wanted to double check before spending a boatload of Dbs on the bigger ships. Awesome. Thank you both for the clarification!

While we are on the subject... If I were to license 2 class-10 ships and sail them together, would they be undefeatable or could a class 2 blow them smithereens with the roll of the die?

@Bart, @Roadmonkeytj, @Flavius Gratian, @Bodi: Thanks for all the feedback! Maybe I'll post these builds after all!
