Thank you! I did some research and looked up some pictures of galleons before doing the rigging. I almost didn't have a sprit sail! I have a few more galleons I want to make so they should get even better with more practice!

Mesabi, this is easily the best build I have seen from you thus far! Fantastic work! Keep it up!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Awesome build and great story! Very entertaining!

Thank you! I'm glad I could get the weighted down look of a galleon!

Nope, it's been super quick for me... It might be your internet connection and/or browser...

Fantastic looking MOC! So many cool details and features to look at and just overall a beautiful creation!

This is absolutely stunning! Great design work and detailing throughout the model. How long did this take you to complete?

Class 5 Galleon "Turaco" Galleon 1.2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Another new vessel from the Quinnsville shipyards is the Galleon "Turaco". Galleon 1.3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr She is short and fat but has loads of cargo space, which makes it a very good ship to have in a trading convoy. She is far from heavily armed with just a few deck guns for protection, so she must never travel alone through dangerous waters. Galleon 1.4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr She is manned by a small crew, but she is easy to sail and brings them a profit, so the men have plenty of motivation to make monthly voyages. ----------------------------------- This is my first time building a galleon type ship, but I think it turned out pretty well. I have a few more of these planned, so they should get better the more I make. C&C are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking! And for those of you who may be wondering, a Turaco is a bird from Southern Africa.

Hi @Phred / @Captain Genaro, I've been appointed mayor of Quinnsville, so could you please replace @Tomsche with myself so I get the mayor's pay next month? Thank you!

Thank you! It has been a ton of fun so far getting Quinnsville to City status. I am glad the official letters turned have had the desired effect of immersion! Thank you very much for the new appointments as well! Looking forward to the expedition and to growing Quinnsville to Large City!

Awesome looking build! The shaping looks spot on!

Welcome to Euro Bricks!

Thank you Mesabi! Quinnsville is only 36 properties from a large city!

Thank you very much Spud! Thank you! Thank you! Terrain is an area I still need to work on. Sometimes I get it right and other times not so much! Lol!

Thank you! Didn't even realize that!

Brickford Residence QV15.1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr After months of walking the streets of Quinnsville, Richard and Nathaniel Brickford were relived to be able to finally write their final report to Governor Cooke in King's Harbour. The stumbled up the steps to their timber-frame house before sitting down at the kitchen table. QV15.2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr With pen in hand they began to write to Cooke about everything they had seen and observed in the months after their assignment began. QV15.3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr QV15.4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Their humble abode wasn't even fully unpacked with crates and boxes found everywhere. They had been too busy to worry about unpacking it. Dear Governor Cooke, When I originally arrived at the quaint Quinnsville Station of the Cocovia Wagonway I wasn't quite sure what to expect. My first stop was the Quinnsville Public Records Building. From the books it contained and the help of the clerk, I discovered some remarkable things about the settlement. I learned about the shipbuilding industry that has been established here. So, I journeyed to the Timber Plantation not far from the outskirts of town. The work that the lumberjacks perform is remarkable! After that I went to look into how the ships are actually made at one of the Largest Shipyard in Quinnsville. Continuing from there I made my way to the Pier to check into the trading situation. It was not teeming with activity, but it seems that with some small adjustments, Quinnsville could be turned into quite the trading hub. Finally I made my way through the city and noticed a certain lack of important government building such a town hall and proper schools for the children. There are also no research centers for any of the native plants of the island. What this settlement really needs is proper leadership. Sir Smaugton laid a sturdy foundation from which to build upon, and just from me being here and people hearing that I was looking into the well-being of the area, the settlement has started to grow. While I am finished this part of my task, I hope that I can still be of service to the people of Quinnsville for many years to come. In service to her Majesty, Richard Brickford, Royal Surveyor of Quinnsville Dear Captain Jno. Cooke, RN, After arriving in Quinnsville, I was pleasantly surprised by the military might of the settlement. While the rest of the settlement still needs some tending too, Quinnsville is in no danger of being overrun any time soon. Sir Smaugton must have been a clever man to set up certain measures to keep the troops in order. I first visited the Military Barracks of the 1st Quinnsville Fusiliers. The troops were in perfect order and the building was well constructed and was satisfactory in cleanliness. Following the suggestion of the Sergeant of the barracks, I traveled to the mighty Fort Annetta in Queens Bay. The fortification itself would be able to put quite a hurting on any attacking force. Back on land, I was intrigued by a commotion on the street and to my surprise there was a parade going on! After inquiring with the locals and discovering that it was a graduation ceremony of the 1st Quinnsville Dragoons of a nearby military academy. After attending a lecture of military strategy, I am even more convinced that Quinnsville will become the strongest and safest settlement in all of the New World. I have completed my assignment and will stand by in Quinnsville while awaiting further orders. In service to her Majesty, Captain Nathaniel Brickford, Military Attaché to Quinnsville ----------------------- @Bregir With this build, I have almost singlehandedly brought Quinnsville from a level 2 town up to a level 8 city. Lots of thanks to the builds done by @Drunknok, @Spud The Viking, and @Garmadon. They helped out a lot to bring up the right stats for the settlement. As usually, C&C are welcome and appreciated, thanks for looking, and more builds to come! This will be licensed as a small residence. For some bonus pics of the upstairs and cellar, check out the spoiler!

For your first time in LDD, this is quite good! My only suggestion would be to build up the terrain a little bit. Right now the dirt looks like its on top of the grass which isn't quite natural. Looks fantastic though! Keep up the great work!

Fantastic build! Great job on the SNOT beach and looking forward for the grand finale of the story!

Welcome to Euro Bricks!

Thank you! Thanks! Post has been edited! The flowers are still alive because of me wanting to add more detail and forgetting that flowers actually need care to stay alive... Maybe they are plastic?

Really great build Mesabi! It's hard to top Ayrlego's comment, but I agree with all he said! Keep up the great work!

Looks really nice, especially in the dark red as you said! Keep up the great work!
