I like that a lot better than your Imperial Corvette. Sails and minifigures can be seen here.

A nice and well-built Imperial Corvette. The ship's bow, stern and the quarterdeck are well built. I would also like a photo with sails. But I don't see any photos of the minifigures on the ship. The ship is good but needs some post-processing.

I like the round high tower with the extension and balcony. I also really like the jetty from which a semicircular staircase leads to the gate of the tower. On the left a stairway leads to a fortification wall with a cannon. I don't like the skeleton with the sword in his stomach and it's not necessary. A nicer scene would be good in the cave.

[CONTEST] Creative Critic Leaderboard - Final Scoring
NOD replied to Mister Phes's topic in LEGO Pirates
Actually, I only registered because I feared that there would not be enough participants. It's time to try harder! ♪♪"One, two, Kane coming to you♪♪ ♪♪Three, four, better lock your door♪♪ ♪♪Five, six, grab your doubloons♪♪ ♪♪Seven, eight, gonna stay up late♪♪ ♪♪Nine, ten, never sleep again!”♪♪ FFSR 02 by Philippe, auf Flickr -
Yay an MRCA II Adventure! It's the first time I've experienced it since I've been on Brethren of the Brick Seas. Option 2, Altonia the Ulric settlement: Why make it too difficult for yourself at the beginning, there are still enough difficult challenges to come. Option 1, Namere the Reigh settlement: The risk is higher and requires money for the bribery. I personally would choose option 1. You have enough doubloons; Great Northern Ocean information is more important. You also get cojones with option 1.

I only now noticed that it is a serial story in only one topic. I find Chapters II and III exciting. The story is starting to get interesting and I'm looking forward to a sequel. Especially with the first build and the short introduction I wasn't convinced at first. I also see the builds with different eyes now. The 8x8 studs are cleverly made and help with reading and understanding the story.

A very beautiful detailed landscape. I particularly like the high hunting tower. Here Jim Corbett can live in peace without annoying neighbors knocking on the door. -
Herlock Sholmes - Second Adventure Ch7
NOD replied to Captain Braunsfeld's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Yay, time to continue the story! The bank vault is well built. This time the thieves cannot escape. The high vaulted cellar and the stairs down remind me also of James Bond, Goldfinger. Very unfortunate that the wall now has a hole. I happen to know some Sea Rats bricklayer who could fix it. -
Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, this time it doesn't end well for Don Estaban. But there are 760 novel booklets. Don Esteban de Carranzia had success in the past. The stories with Don Antonio de Quintanilla, governor of Cuba, are very interesting. Preview: Seewölfe, Korsaren der Weltmeere Yes, the Cartagena is the right size.
-
Thank you very much. I have two favorites the Cartagena and the Perla de Labuan. I like the Cartagena because of its size and the balcony at the captain's cabin. I like the Perla de Labuan because I built some improvements and fixed some bugs. Thank you very much. I'm glad you like the green color. That's why I like galleons - there's room for flourishes, embellishments and colors.

[ENTRY] SIN ISLAND: Keg & Cutlass Inn + Comic book
NOD replied to Marooned Marin's topic in Pirate MOCs
You did this with your 10 year old nephew? Has your nephew seen and read your comic and the tavern/house look? We'd all love to see a video of you telling him your side of the story. This is a nice and fun build! The comic is very good and funny! I like balconies. The presentation of the characters is fun and informative. This is a great island relaxation establishment! What does a successful pirate sailor who found doubloons do? Go to the bank and get low interest charges %? No, rum has more %! Of course, you also have to take care of your health. Sporting activities are very important. In this place you can do mattress sports. -
Thank you very much. This is of course a merchant ship. The few cannons are only for defense against The Lotus Empire.
-
A very beautiful built ship that I like a lot better than the original 10210 Imperial Flagship. Here at least the sailors and soldiers don't fall off the ship's deck immediately in a small storm. It has a lot of nice details on the outside and also on the inside.

[COR - FB] Sugarcane Plantation, Queenston
NOD replied to lmcpicture's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Great diorama! Beautiful scenery and amazing buildings. The conveyor belt from the windmill over the rocky ground to the factory is a highlight. The interior of the building is very nicely constructed. The diorama comes to life through the many minifigures. I always discover something new and interesting. Respect for all the work involved in building and positioning the minifigures. With a digital build, positioning the minifigures is very time consuming. -
[COR- SHIPS] Class 3 privateer sloop "Ranger"
NOD replied to Justsomebrix's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
A great story and a beautiful ship and rowing boat. I hope you catch the Gentleman Privateer's notorious Corrington pirate flotilla. -
Thank you very much. I like the decorations, so I use them on many ships. Thank you very much. It would be boring if everyone was building frigates. Eslandolan green goes very well with galleons. Thank you very much. In the German language I could read it well, probably the translation in the English language was bad. It was intended to be informational for the novel booklet series only. Telling a good story with builds is up to you and other people who are good at it.

A very beautiful built ship. I like the custom ship hull and rigging. I hope you catch the Gentleman Privateer's notorious Corrington pirate flotilla.

Thank you very much, I am very happy that you like my ship. We will read the result of the MRCA one day.

Galleon Perla de Labuan: Class 9 66 guns, which includes: 32 twenty-four pounders, 24 eighteen pounders, 10 nine pounders. Additionally, it has 6 swivel guns. Perla de Labuan 01A by Philippe, auf Flickr I borrowed this story from Seewölfe, Korsaren der Weltmeere. Seewölfe Nr. 402, Die Geleitzug Schlacht, Kapitel 6. Google Translate translated the text into English, which I previously typed out of the notebook: The lookouts' alarming cries would not end. Pulling himself together, Don Esteban threw himself around and stormed out of the chamber. From the quarterdeck's port companionway, the second officer hurried toward him. The two men nearly collided. "Sail port ahead, Senor Capitan!" cried the second, panting. "Five ships. See for yourself!" With long strides, Don Esteban hurried to the quarterdeck, where the other two officers stared spellbound through their spotting scopes. The yelling of the lookouts had stopped now. The Captain-General only glanced ahead. In a matter of seconds, he overcame the shock that gripped all his limbs. His fighting spirit awoke. It was not for nothing that he was given the leadership of this association. He had mastered more threatening situations. "Ready ship for battle!" he ordered barking. The second officer hastened to pass on the order. As the deckhands and marines moved, Don Esteban picked up a spotting scope and took a closer look at the mess. In fact there were five ships sailing in from the north in a broad front. The formation sailed flat before the wind, and it appeared very clearly as if it had been lying in wait, ready to pounce on the flank of the convoy in the manner of a bird of prey. Don Esteban was startled again when he realized how fast the foreign ships were approaching. He turned. Wuhling reigned on board the two war galleons sailing on the port side, as well as on the starboard of the convoy. Although the view was blocked by the sails of the cargo ships. But the cries of alarm had been heard. Perla de Labuan 02A by Philippe, auf Flickr For Don Esteban and his officers there was still no reason to breathe a sigh of relief. The attackers rushed in far too quickly. The Captain General turned to the right. He instantly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. The veins of anger swelled in his neck and temples. "Yes, these guys want to fall asleep standing up!" he yells. "Push them up. If necessary, use the whip!" The first and second officers exchanged glances. The second ran again to the front transom balustrade of the quarterdeck and let his cutting voice of command echo across the refrigeration. The disciplinarian, a beefy bald guy, banged the main mast to confirm me the Nine-Tails. A few of the deckhands winced and picked up the pace. But it only made their tongues hang out all the more. Each of the men did his best in clearing the guns, scattering sand, readying the braziers and the nozzles of water. Because everyone knew that they were facing a life-and-death struggle. They didn't need a driver like Don Esteban de Carranzia to understand that. The men on the quarterdeck kept their eyes on the approaching foreign ships. Had it not been for the obvious mortal danger involved, these sailors might well have been a sight to behold. "Senor Capitan," said the first officer calmly, "our crew is well drilled, and they're no slower than usual. We just have to realize that these attackers are faster than us. They've prepared well, and they're using the element of surprise. " Don Esteban's face turned crimson. "What do you think we should do?" he shouted, his voice cracking. "Surrender right away? Never, I'm telling you, never! Here people fight, fight, fight. If I have to, I personally drive the guys on." "The men will fight". Replied the first, still calm. "Rely on it." Don Esteban de Garranzia swallowed hard. On the "Gaviota's" cowl, the gun crews were busy loading the last barrels in feverish haste. At the same moment, the front of the attackers fans out. The distance was only the cable lengths when this happened. Horrified and with a paralyzing sense of helplessness, Don Estephan and his officers watch what is happening. Perla de Labuan 04 by Philippe, auf Flickr Don Esteban was horrified when he saw the two gun decks of the attacker who had chosen the "Gaviota". "Fire-free!" ordered Don Esteban in a shrill voice. With wide eyes, he saw the bright red flashes that erupted from the two-decker's tubes at the same moment. The gun commander of the "Gaviota" lowered the fuse sticks to the firing holes and threw themselves for cover. Even before the thunder of the foreign guns, the rattling of the iron ball could be heard. Don Esteban and his officers dropped to the planks. It broke over the flagship as if with elemental forces. The impacts pounded the hull of the ship in rapid succession, crashing and bursting. Bullets slashed across the main deck with brute force, shattering nail banks and parts of the entrenchments. A hit transformed the lashed dinghy into a whirl of splinters, on the starboard side two gun carriages that had been hit collapsed under the weight of the bronze barrels, which weighed several tons. More impacts raced into the stern with unnerving splinters. Don Esteban thought he could hear the shards falling from the prettily colored stained-glass windows of his captain's quarters. He closed his eyes in impotent rage as the smell of caulking pitch rose up from the planks. There were also icefalls on the forecastle of the "Gaviota". However, more precise information could not be determined straight away in the emerging Wuhling. Only then did the flagship's port broadside boom. Hart heeled the "Gaviota" under the recoil of her guns to starboard. Don Esteban sat up hopefully as the powder smoke billowed up, black and fat. Gunfire now echoed from all sides. The remaining four war galleons engaged in fierce combat with the attackers. Furious, Don Esteban stamped his boot on the planking when he realized that the broadside of the "Gaviota" looked ridiculous in its uselessness. Immediately after the lightning attack, all available cloth had settled on the two-decker, and now they swept away with downright humiliating ease. The projectiles from the barrels of the "Coviota" rattled into the water and created a forest of vertically rising white spray fountains for a few seconds. Don Esteban wanted to give the order to bear away to starboard in order to gain some distance. Because he knew what was going to happen next. But the command stuck in his throat. Perla de Labuan 09 by Philippe, auf Flickr The two war galleons that had sailed to the starboard of the convoy rushed abeam at increased speed and apparently tried to evade the pincer attack of the two attack galleons. Both Spaniards were under full gear and the two captains had evidently decided that the slow speed of the convoy was their greatest vulnerability. But the attackers still had the advantage in terms of speed. The first broadsides flashed, and at the bursting sound of the hits, Don Esteban had to realize with exasperation that these cursed pirates were masters of their craft. And astern the convoy of cargo ships pitched along like a clump of ponderous manatees. Don Esteban let out a curse. The way out to starboard was denied him, because he would inevitably go on a ramming course with the other two galleons. He couldn't go any higher upwind either, and if he set additional cloth, he just ran after the uncanny two-decker to collect the next hits. The gun crews toiled on the Kuhl, reloading the barrels - there had never been any casualties in the crew of the "Gaviota", only a few wounded by flying splinters and larger pieces of wood. The barber and his assistant were already on the job. The two-decker was now sailing about four cable lengths ahead on port. Don Esteban and his officers resumed observation with the spotting scope. Aft on portboard the iron chorus of the broadsides could be heard. Wild roars sounded from the decks of the four-master. A battle cry that the men on board the "Gaviota" did not understand. A sound that could send a shiver down your spine. Perla de Labuan 07B by Philippe, auf Flickr "Port and starboard guns ready for action!" announces the piece master. "Two tubes failed on starboard." Don Esteban raised his hand to show he understood. He was a little mollified. Now the "Gaviota" was ready to show its teeth - albeit battered. But none of the hits had been serious enough to cause serious concern. With undiminished ferocity the thunder of artillery raged between the other fighting ships. Out of the corner of his eye, Don Esteban saw that one of the two war galleons on the port side of the convoy had caught fire. Licking flames rose from the cowl and greedily caught the mainsail. But there is no time to be alarmed. Farther ahead now the two-decker abruptly turned her bow through the wind. Stunned, Don Esteban watched how quickly this turning maneuver worked. How was it possible that this pack of pirates was such a well-coordinated crew? The captain general and his officers had not yet gotten over their bewilderment when the two-decker was already on an opposite course. "The distance is too great," said the first. "A subterfuge if you ask me, Senor Capitan." Don Esteban nodded. The first was right. Moments later, on an opposite course, the two-decker reached the same altitude. The men on board the "Gaviota" stared in disbelief at the open gun ports and the gutted barrels. Suddenly the port side of the two-decker turned into a wall of firebolts. Don Esteban and his men shook their heads in disbelief. The thunder of gunfire and the sound of projectiles becoming one. And suddenly the first impacts hit the outer planking of the flagship. The next hits followed within fractions of a second. "Fire!" the captain-general roars as he throws himself down, realizing the futility of his command. With the best will in the world, the guns of the "Caviota" did not have that incredible range. The impacts made the body of the flagship tremble in all associations. This time Don Esteban sensed that they were impacts hitting the lifeblood of his ship. Perla de Labuan 03A by Philippe, auf Flickr

It looks good with 3 masts. The captain's cabin and forecastle could be made longer. P01 by Philippe, auf Flickr (The figurehead has too steep an angle because I put it on incorrectly after it fell off)

Herlock Sholmes - Second Adventure Ch6
NOD replied to Captain Braunsfeld's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Funny continuation of the story. Dr. Sonwat is an excellent translator. Is there a portrait of King Fernando on the wall? -
An excellent fight scene. The stance and movement of the Knights Treasurer and the Musketeer look good.
-
I find it a pity when an important character dies in Brethren of the Brick Seas. The last will was that Beauchamp recieve +1xp. That should be respected and he should get +1xp. I like the face of Bishop François who is standing next to his brother's bed and is with him for the last few moments. A great story that fits Hercule's lifestyle.

Great diorama and continuation of the story! The landscape is great!
