You said you only build occasionally..... Thats an impressive brick collection. Its awesome that you got to build this with your boy ... There is a ton of detail in this and the story is fantastic. I like all the detail elements such as lighting and the trapdoors and cut away buildings.

Lol im sure at the bottom of the rat recipe a line of "chicken may be substituted for rat" ... I know there are places in the world where horsemeat is acceptable but we still bury our horses whole here lol

Horsemeat cake with red sause? Hahaha

@Flavius Gratian You could always dye your string with RIT laundry dye ... Just mix it up in a bucket and soak your string ... Worst case you get charchol colored string

Very nice prospecting build ... Jacks sniffer might be broken though ... Shiney rocks ? Its a quartzite quarry then? Lol I really like the way you detailed the interior of the cave ... And the torch shot is quite convincing. Haha that's why you should always use asymmetric dice when playing craps ... You just never know how them others are gunna come up lmao

Yes actually almost identical to what i was thinking ... Attaching that to the back of the cargo hatch so slightly raised from the tarplin

@Professor Thaum A now hairless Smithy sat in the corner of the Captains' cabin rocking in the fetal position mumbling nearly audible words mostly sounding like flames, flying, mommy, and home. Finally after what seemed like hours Smithy shares with Capitan B. Wolf what he saw before going up in flames, destroying the spare bowspirit and sail. Smithy: There are two wrecks Sir, one appears to be wedged in the rocks on a shelf ready to plunge into the deep at the right tide. She appears to be mostly intact but, the only way in would be the stern as the decks are littered with large rocks . . . Smithy's gaze went blank and he began mumbling about flames again ... Captain B. Wolf: Smithy! You said there were two wrecks? What of the other? Smithy: Sorry Sir ... The other is more broken up but still has large sections intact. That may be due to the reef shes resting on ... Im sure with low tide she will be mostly out of water. S.Spillet: Alas to what wreck do we explore first Captain? Option A) wait for low tide and explore the shallow wreck that will be mostly out of water but badly broken up. (build should include above and below water including part of the reef) Option B) explore the fully submerged wreck before she slides off the shelf and is lost forever. (build should include how the crew accesses the ship and what ways they devise to breathe since regular surfacing is not feasible) One build is required to progress but more are encouraged, however only one wreck may be explored this turn ... choose wisely.

@Bart thanks for the additional pictures No what I was proposing is where the companionway would have three doors one on top that hinges over or slides back then the split vertical door similar to modern sailboats ... Ive seen it used on model wooden boats ... Couldnt find a good pic but this should give you a better idea what im picturing https://goo.gl/images/e8nXhD

I love the hidden barrel door ... That's quite nice barrel operation ... Good looking shop but my favorite views are from above the base is awesome.

@Capt Wolf... I found splitting the hulls was easier with a standard blade screwdriver just set it down in from the to into the lock tabs and wiggle until it comes open. I found that does less damage at least for me then the butter knife method in tutorials. Unless your talking of actually splitting the ship up lol ... I put the grey on grey and never turned back I really love the black on brown... Part of me still wants to buy the old crossbones hull parts for all black ... Might have to build a green boat on white though

@BartWould combining the companionway with the cargo hatch and having it open more like a sailboat be out of line? That would still give enough space for the strongbeam ... I do hope you keep that since its not a feature that many include.

Maybe thats why Ive had so much trouble learning the names lmao ... I come from cattle and horses ... Life has not afforded me any involvement in sailing other than smaller motorised vessels with no rigging less it be fishing poles lol As far as your ship ... Im liking the way your making it "keel over" or is it "heal" .... Be affected by the wind thus raising the hull on the blown side. Lol ... I rather like the curved top on the hatch behind the mast. Is the tiles behind it the crew hatch to lower decks? Edit: I really like the windlass ... At the bow ... Any chance to get a close up?

Thats quite the "swooshable" ship there ... Am I seeing correctly that only the spanker moves not the upper yard for the spanker? Sorry dont know its name The break down was perfect ... The gaps are they there to allow 1x2 stud spacing with the tiles or just that you dont need a full side of them?

Just to clarify upkeep is off licence cost (flat across the game) or off actual licenced cost examples: So the free class 2 would have the upkeep as if it were licence as a non free class 2 correct? And SR specific question the upkeep comes off the non discounted cost correct?

Lavender ... Hahaha very funny ... It fits the style quite well its a solid build even if a replica

I recall a posting of a excel sheet ... Was it just a snapshot of the summary? ... It listed all the settlements and the breakdown quantity of what types of buildings are in the settlement (residence factory culture etc) ... It was when I was still trying to figure out the game and if I wanted to join ... It could have been in the ERA I stuff as I had done alot of reading ... Bur it only had the settlements no players

You seen it ... I did to ... Unfortunately I don't recall where...

Poor smithy ... Im hoping to see an awesome underwater scene from this ...

X2 on the sails lol ... Looks like a impressive little ship ... Im liking the color as well

This is a fine brick factory indeed ... Im liking your ovens lately lol And I just figured Agnes had stopped by the factory and that's why there was no window lol

No lol ... Sorry was trying to get a reply in quick as I wasnt sure if I would have time later ... So I didnt proof it. I like your shape of the equipment ; you've captured a traditional caribbean rum still quite well. Its interesting though that you choose to have the thumpers and the pot outside (where all the action happens) and have the firebox and im assuming bottleing ... Or barreling in your case bellow all the works. Reguardless a very nice build ... But its interesting that you choose rum as esl has quite the rum market already ... Hopefully you'll provide some "Stiff" competition ... Hope thats a little better.

Interesting ... Considering theres already rum in esl ... Some stiff competition ... I like the aparatus its a good translation of a carb. Rum still with the triple thumper ... Oddly enough half inside and half out ...barelling is bellow i take it

I really like these mico builds the ships in the yard look great! I think your yards need to be a royal yard though since it holds three ships lol

Another lovely ship my only change would be the furthest most black stripe to grey to match the hull ... Or swap in the black off a grey hull... I dont think i ever grow tired of those sails

@Legostone do you think you could give a couple broke down shots of the side ... I still have five complete small hulls to build on and I really like this technique better than the seabus adaptation im currently using
