    Task 1: Redcoats Rule! 1 - Arrival at Elizabethville @Bregir - thanks for pointing me toward GoC! Cool idea. Since this one is already out there, do I need to change the title to have [GoC] at the beginning? It changes the URL and search results, etc :D

    Gorgeous! Love the matching colors throughout (pants & water, flag & brick, etc). Looks a little bit like a rocket ship, but not in a bad way :)

    Hi Greg - Seems like people are OK with custom or clone brick items being used. I imagine there would be issues including non-brick elements like Playmobil, etc though... I recently used BrickWarriors hats, BrickArms sabers, and BrickForge muskets with some new Corrington troops: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/180296-a-compendium-of-corlander-military-units/&do=findComment&comment=3308250

    A MOC showing Elizabethville militiamen cleaning Fort di Legno A Seventeen Point Plan
  6. evancelt
    "A Seventeen Point Plan" With the unrest occurring on Terraversa, Captain Brickleton wanted to make sure Elizabethville was prepared for any unplanned action. He detailed a seventeen point preparation plan for Fort di Legno and worked with Second Lieutenant Bolton of the militia to have his militiamen implement it. Along with more strategic defensive improvements, Captain Brickleton and Second Lieutenant Bolton oversee a militiaman scrubbing the palisade walls with soapy water. The difference is immediately noticeable.

    A new residence in Elizabethville: (licensed as free first small residence.) Captain Brickleton's Cabin
  9. evancelt
    "A First Meeting with the Onondaga" Upon their arrival at Elizabethville, Captain Brickleton had his men set up a camp behind Fort di Legno. An abandoned cabin across the main path from the soldier's camp caught Captain Brickleton's eye and he inquired with the town mayor as to its provenance. He learned it had been home to a local merchant who met her demise earlier that year at sea in a run-in with Sea Rats. With no family, the cabin had sat vacant since. Captain Brickleton made a formal offer to the town Mayor and purchased the cabin. He would be immediately adjacent to his men in camp, but would have a roof over his head rather than tent canvas. About two weeks after moving into the cabin, Second Lieutenant Bolton of the Elizabethville militia came by and announced they had received a letter for Captain Brickleton from a passing frigate. As the lieutenant was presenting the letter to Captain Brickleton, two native Onodaga warriors appeared and made introductions. Captain Brickleton was on edge during that first meeting, having never met a native before. However, he quickly realized the two Onodaga were jovial and kind. They shared some cordial and nuts. Once the guests had left, he opened the letter and was glad to see it was from Elsabeth Stockton. The cabin wasn't large, having only one room, but it had plenty of space for the man by himself. He purchased a bed in town and brought it back to the cabin. Captain Brickleton inquired with the Onondaga warriors about their feathers and learned they came from the plumage of a white eagle. Captain Brickleton was pleased by the many windows in the cabin, which would have otherwise been quite dark. The cabin needed a good sweeping, but was in pretty good shape for having sat vacant.

    Thanks! I have a few more "old world" ideas for builds, but I think the next few at least are going to focus on Elizabethville. Gotta keep the story moving forward!

    Looks great. I love the red, orange, green, browns of the muddy ground, and the downed tree trunk w/ texture takes it a step farther than many other forest builds I've seen.

    This is so great - awesome work! I love the use of the ice cream pieces for froth at the bottom of the waterfall

    After receiving the Brickleton family sword, Captain Brickleton returned to the soiree and introduced himself to Brigadier Stockton's daughter Elsabeth. They made plans to meet up the following day. Having spent nine months living in an army camp in northern Corrington, Captain Brickleton had plenty of unspent officer pay and wanted to buy a new uniform coat. Elsabeth accompanied him to Gerald Of Belson's, the premiere purveyor of officer uniforms in the capital. While perusing a selection of hats, Elsabeth saw a brass compass and bought it for Captain Brickleton to take on his journey to Elizabethville. They promised to keep correspondence.

    Thanks! Floor tiles are from a store called BrikBlok. They make their own custom printed tiles in dozens of patterns I think. Yeah since I couldn't get dresses to be different, I made sure they all had different hair styles

    @Khorne @Fraunces @Mesabi - Thanks! The printed tiles are custom made by a shop called BrikBlok. I think they have a few dozen styles available in their store, as well as stained glass window panels etc. Super cool. @Mesabi - I'll add a little more story :) It was pretty late (~1am) when I finished this and posted last night and didn't have a chance to fully flesh it out. @Mesabi - Regarding the bookcase height, I wanted the book and statue pieces to fit on the shelves, which meant they had to be pretty big. I bet they would need a ladder to reach the items on the upper shelves, like in a formal study/library. Edited the captions to reflect

    After being recalled from northern Corrington south to the capital of Belson, Captain Brickleton visited his father at their stately home in the heart of the city. His father, a retired general, happened to be hosting a soiree with some of his old army colleagues and their families. After making introductions, the elder Brickleton took his son to the study and bestowed upon him the family sword. The sword had a fine brass scabbard and wickedly sharp blade. It had been in the family for seven generations and was carried in all of the major old world campaigns of the past two centuries. Receiving the sword, Captain Brickleton felt the gravity of the ages on him and the weight of family expectations. Captain Brickleton would take it with him on his new adventures just beginning as he shipped out to Elizabethville. Captain Brickleton and his father slip into the library. The elder Brickleton gives his son the family sword. The sword had a fine brass scabbard and wickedly sharp blade. The bookcases in the formal library were so tall that the elder Brickleton would have his servants fetch a ladder to reach the items on the higher shelves. The library contained treasures from the elder Brickleton's adventures traveling the world as a general. A soiree of in the finest fashion. It was a chilly night, so a fire was lit in the fireplace. The spirits flowed freely and Captain Brickleton had his eye on Brigadier Stockton's daughter.

    Love the despair of it

    Thanks and good tip about the wands! Will check that out. I like to give bluecoats tan hats since it makes it easy to tell them apart from above vs. redcoats (black hats) and greencoats (white hats)
  23. evancelt
    Thanks! In order to get this one out the door pretty quickly, I ended up staging it on a beach in front of a massive white/yellow fort I'm building So I built a little brown palisade wall at the top of the beach to represent Fort di Legno and had to crop most of the non-Elizabethville giveaway stuff out of the shot. Will make future builds with multiple angles, etc

    "Thin Blue Line" The first line reloads while the second row takes aim. The third line waits their turn. The men are getting a head start on Movember so they can show up 24th Company in a few weeks. --------- Wanted to reuse the little green clearing from The Duel before breaking it down, so made this. Inspired by Ayrlego's redcoat MOC
