That stone lion is cool! Fun way to get those cavalry torsos into BoBS!

Haha had to fit on a 32x baseplate for the LUG build! Thanks! Yeah the slanted walls are super fun. Will have to try a larger fort with that technique once Corrington finances can support such things again Would love to see that palm tree technique get used some more

Thanks @blackdeathgr, @Thomas Waagenaar, @Jeff of Clubs, @NOD, @Brickwolf, @Kai NRG, @Khorne!

Welcome @DeathCap! Nice work on the ship! Most users of the forums host images on free Flickr accounts so they automatically embed on the forums. Alternatively, I can hook you up with some webserver hosting if you want to host images for embedding that way (if so, send me a PM!).

Nicely done!

To save you the trouble: if you thought about experimenting with belts and sashes mixed with boot pants… it doesn’t look very good! Maybe the coattails one on the right is salvageable

Major Brickleton had seen it with his own eyes - Seawatch was besieged! The settlement was in desperate straits and was terribly close to being taken by Lotii forces. After successfully recording enemy numbers and positions, he had stealthily retreated away from the encircled city with his company of cavalry. While Brickleton believed they had escaped unnoticed, this time they headed to Fort Arltrees by way of the temperate central mountains of the island to hopefully scout out a second route allied forces could use to reach Seawatch. As night fell, he sat by a small campfire writing a dispatch to be sent to Colonel Wolf. "Forbes, toss a few more branches on the fire please. This dispatch will contain somber news and I mustn't mince words. Our forces must learn of the tenuous situation in Seawatch." -------------------- OOC: Just a quick build to play with a brick-built night sky and some funny trees

Fun build, @Captain Roger! I'll echo some of the other replies and say that the white wall parts are a little plain. The shape of the fort is just fine, but I think the flat white parts are what make it seem plain. I created this tutorial a few years ago that shows a few ways to use pieces to add texture to the walls. Would love to see a combination of a few different textures in the build! The 1x3 arches are fun - they remind me of little gutters to let the water run off the flat roof. If you raised them up by another brick or so like in this build it might provide more for the defenders to hide behind!

Awesome job!

Perhaps rather than linking to Flickr/Instagram for builds we link to EB?

Looking good! Those roan horses would be fearful to encounter

Nice job! Like I mentioned on Flickr, I think that technique you used to get the rifles leaning against each other is genius!

I am hopeful the discord can help generate traffic for the forums. There are many folks I've spoken to who will never create EB accounts because forums seem outdated to them, but they are present on Discord. Hoping we can still drive (guest) traffic to EB!

Hello, maties! @Spud The Viking and I have made a Lego Pirates Discord server. Not to take away from these Forums, but to have a more relaxed and informal way for chatting and showing MOCs and inspiration etc. If you'd be interested, even just to join and see, use this link. Hope to see you there!

Thanks! Thanks! Haha I see where the blue/red animosity mentioned in KPA is coming from I made sure to use yellow figs! Thanks! Yes, it fits on top of a 32x baseplate because it will be part of a CoWLUG display this summer

Eurobricks member evancelt returns to fort building with his new creation Allied Intelligence Office, Spudkirk. Come build your own fortress in the Brethren of the Brick Seas forum!

Cool story and series of builds! I like the diagonally placed roof

Thanks guys! This build is going to be displayed in Denver at FanExpo with CoWLUG. Here are some behind the scenes shots of the base, walls, and tree taken from my Instagram story (hence the goofy messages on some of the pictures and unfortunate portrait orientation!). The wall technique was inspired by @CapOnBOBS 's sloped wall forts. My first experimentation with the tree technique was in this Seawatch recon build. Base (MILs to connect to other LUG members builds): Walls: Tree: (ended up using 3 octagonal bar plates)

Allied Intelligence Office, medium arts and culture, Corrington (via evancelt)

Corrington and Oleon had negotiated the use of Spudkirk harbor by the bluecoat navy in support of their joint campaign against the Lotii. This arrangement primarily meant bluecoat ships could anchor offshore for provisioning and largely precluded Oleonese troops from landing in the Corlander settlement itself. However, Corlander Naval Intelligence established a small fortified base where they could work alongside their Oleonese counterparts on shore. If they were to beat the Lotii, Corrington and Oleon would have to work together! ---------------- OOC: To be licensed by Corrington in Spudkirk as a medium Arts and Culture @Ayrlego

Looking good! Love how blocky the masonry texture is. Sand green and olive green clash a little IMO, but that's probably an indication that it is natural Great job! Especially love the door and shutter designs

Excellent job, @Spud The Viking! The windows and built-in bookshelves are my favorites, but the whole thing oozes interesting details A for GoC from me

Sir Gylbard drew his sword. He knew it was impossible, but it felt as if the trees were leaning away from him as he rode by. He thought to himself, "What a strange forest!"

In Eurobricks forum member evancelt's nostalgic new build The Motherlode, M:tron miners discover a rich vein of trans-neon green mineral. Will they discover that the ore is secretly alive?

Double hotdogs!
