Highly encourage

Wonderful color scheme and great little details throughout. Well done!

Large commerce with @LM71Blackbird for Cat D.

A great wave and first glance I didn't realize that the boat was brick built! Awesome!

Stonework with the shield tiles is very smart (and obviously the backpacks are great)

I think the thin, tall building is a great design. I like the effect of blending the grey out as the walls go up. The stonework tile floor is great. Oh... and of course... Droid arms! :-)

The color scheme is brilliant! Great work making half a crocodile!

This collab is so great, I love the statues on the sides. It is not just the shared bridge design but also I feel like your gate at this end squares off great with @Thomas Waagenaar's

Ahhh these 3 are great! @Thomas Waagenaar, @Bregir, @KotZ!!! The palm trees, white stone, wood timbers, tan scheme is very much in the style of French North Africa and the foreign legion, a great build.

This concept is really fun and clever. I love the different colored drop down pikes on each side, instantly tells you what is going on.

Oh @Khorne! It is AWESOME! You really did nail the style and the Essians are always great characters. The Hohenzollern crest is framed very well too (does the pattern have meaning in your Essian lore?) Great build!Makes me miss Germany and it has only been like 2 months.

In North Sillitholina, Oleon has established a customs house to manage the flow of trade goods across the river, management of tax collection, and to process the flow of immigrants coming North in search of peace and prosperity in the Kingdom of Light. The twin towers each serve their own functions. The up-river tower houses the controls for the pivot bridge, complete with an observation deck to watch for the barges, like @LM71Blackbird's moving up and down stream. The down-stream tower is a clock tower marking the administrative function of this large commercial build. Any trade going across the pivot bridge is weighed, inspected, taxed, and recorded in the log. The pivot bridge, as the name implies, can swing down stream to rest along the extended pylon to allow ships to pass (photos to come eventually I hope to illustrate that the bridge actually does pivot). Note: Planned collab with @LM71Blackbird for Cat D, Rebuilding TB. Note2: in the course of this challenge, I moved to a new continent and had my laptop die and the replacement is still a month away from arriving. I am hoping that I can recover this file (which is actually somewhat more complete than this 1 shot) and get some different pictures generated for you all. The footprint is large enough to be a royal build, bus lacking detail.

Love it!

Great job getting the angles and waves to create the effect of rolling in the waves. I can feel the ship bobbing in this post. Really well done!

@blackdeathgr, so sad that Greece is burning, I thought it was absolutely beautiful when I visited. Glad you are safe, hope everyone is able to bounce back quickly! I actually have a external back up of all my files (minus maybe 3 days of progress on that build), but I dont have a computer to put it on! In other news, I've signed up to display at a lego show for the first time, very excited (mid-Sept). Will post WIP shots, but lots of work travel between now and then. As for licensing this build as a large commerce, I think that's probably best option at this point. Is that acceptable to the eyes of the court?

Putting this here because it is much more about my life outside lego builds than about this lego build but... @LM71Blackbird and I had been working two collab builds for Rebuilding TV Part 2, Checkpoint Sil. My laptop, complete with WIP that I'd spent an embarrassing amount of time on died. What had been a flickering screen died outright after a tech came to fix the screen. With no idea of what went wrong Dell only offered to ship to depot, quoting 3-5 days to diagnose, fix, ship back. Good Ole' Dell... 1 month later and 5 days later, I got notified today that they were sending me a replacement system... and my old hard drive (so somehow, someday, I'll recover it and everything else!)... and could expect the new laptop by 4 October! Pretty furious. The digital equivalent of the toddler tipping iver your display case of favorite builds. So... I give you my WIP for Checkpoint Sil. I had intended to make it huge and wanted to license it as a royal collab (96 x 128 right meow), commerce. The bridge actually pivots as a unit 90 degrees over the base. The two towers were supposed to be bridge control and a customs house. The sob story is that I dont want you all to hold it against @LM71Blackbird that my half of our collab is not complete and there is only 1 photo. "Anyway, here's Wonderwall"

There will eventually be at let 1 more section to fill in the front. There are two bows in there now, I will complete the keels and extend the docks (so the entire build is a complete rectangle). Spot on though, someday... I'd like to be able to have completed or nearly completed ships at the docks. The drydock also fits the Black Seas Barracuda hull (bow, stern, and 3 mid sections).

Thanks gang

A really effective transition from the water to the sand. Great little patrol report to carry the story along

Always terrific color schemes. Great framing of the shot with the trees. I was wondering whether elephants would have a home in the brick seas.

Great style to build the rocks out unevenly. Well done upgrading the settlement!?

Ha! I love it! The croc stole the show!

A large factory on the edge of town. Duplo base, chasing off deer, waterwheel. "Blue Coat Wheelwright" A large commercial build illustrates a pivot bridge that allows commercial goods to flow across the river and on the river and a customs house to collect taxes along the way.

The citizens of North Sillitholina have rapidly adopted their newly acquired patriotism. Being across the river from their less fortunate half has made their new identity that much stronger. The newly renamed and proudly licensed in the records of Oleon "Blue Coat Wheelwright" is tylical of this celebration of all things Oleon. It is unclear if the boom in this large factory's production and orders is the result of patriotic zeal or just the rising tide of the larger TV rebuilding efforts. But the team has been working overtime to meet increased demand. The once sleepy little town is now a mix of booming industry and rural charm. The owners find themselves chasing deer off the property in the mornings when they come to work. A homemade bridge spanning the small flowing creek completes the scene. Though at what today would be "the edge of town," customers don't seem to mind the walk out to see what sizes, shapes, and colors have been recently made and hung out on display. Being at the creek side allowed the construction of a water wheel driven saw, carefully mounted inside the shop. Just another example of the prosperity and tranquility of living in the Kingdom of Light. Note: first attempt at the @evancelt TM duplo base. Allowed the creek to drop 6 bricks in height from end to end. Also, I have bricks again!

Not only is it possible! But it is highly encouraged! Particularly to join the glorious kingdom of Oleon! Check here for notes on exactly how. In short, create a character and post them in the faction you are joining.
