Welcome to BoBS ! The scene looks great, I especially love all the different vegetation you included. The figures are also good and fit very well with the scene

Great figs! Love the hand cannon

Thank you, I would love to but sadly ceveral of the pieces don't exist in the colors I used :/ I will eventiually build a frigate style ship in real bricks. Thank you garmadon ! Sadly I didn't keep in made the irl avaible colors Thank you for the kind words Spud

Superb interior !

Thank you both!

Thank you ! The ship is indeed a bit tall, I want my ships to be able to have standing minifigures inside them so I had to make it taller than it would be in real life. boeing_787_8_dreamliner made his much more proportionnaly accurate to a real corvette (subsequently his shape also looks better imo), but because of the ditance between the floor and roof inside was only about 7 studs. I went a head and rendered a few close up shots but it made my pc crash , I'll try again at a later time and tag you Thank you ! I must admit, it would blend in better with an Oleon or Sea Rat fleet Thank you very much ! I love the gold as well ! But it looks good haha We can say it was already decorated that way when he captured her

Great scene, I love the inside of the house This reminds me a lot of the people living in the ship wrecks on season 4 of Black Sails !

Task 2 - The Oaken Shield / Cruisers of Terra Nova entry 1

Samuel Scarver had been following Corringtons actions closely as the threat of the Lotii in New Haven grew bigger by the day... knowing that our leaders would never let them get away with it. When news of a planned invasion finally arrived, he knew he had to help. In his prime he would have taken a Letter of Marque and gone there himself, alas, his age would not allow him. However, retired from a successful trade company, Samuel owned a good handful of ships. So he had his best warship restored and ready for action. She was a Corvette he had captured on one of his trade expeditions all those years ago. The ship was fast and well armed, with a total of 18x 8-pounder guns, 4x 6-pounders : 2 bow chasers and 2 stern chasers, and to top it all off, 10 swivel guns to repel all boarders. She was the perfect escort, not a single piece of cargo was ever lost under her protection. In many ways she reminded him a lot of his mother, as she had always shielded him from danger, despite how hard he made it. So he named her, Alexandra, his mother's name, and had the figurehead represent her holding her favorite bird, the hummingbird. To tell the truth, he was sad to let her go… But he knew she would serve the Queen well, just like she had him. And to a man who bled the colors of Corrington, nothing meant more. He contacted an old friend of his from the Noble Parliament, whom he intrusted to find a suitable captain for the ship. With her Majesty's Navy having no shortage of experienced naval officers, the ship was immediatly assigned to an up-and-coming captain Foster. A mere 3 days later, Samuel Scarver stood at the docks of Belson, as he watched HMS Alexandra sail into the sunset. (There are actually 9 figures barely visible / invisible from the angle I took the image ) ----------- A new Cruiser for the Navy! She is a class 6 Corvette built for the Oaken Shield task, you are free to decide her stats, otherwise she is ready to be licenced. This ship is heavily inspired by one of "boeing_787_8_dreamliner" ships on instagram, he makes som very nice ships and was nice enough to send me the file for his ship "La Therese". I learned a lot of new technics from his ship and I borrowed 90% of his fantastic rigging as well as some other parts. (Samuel Scarver is Edward's father and was referred to in my character's introduction)

Very cool ship, it's not often we see mid 17th century frigates in lego

If not I have a class 6 Corvette I can enter, although I had originally planned her as a shipping vessel for Task 3 "The Merchant Marine". But some quick modifications could easily make her suitable for war.

@Maxim I Considering the deep pockets of Eslandola I would have excpect you to have the ressources to build your own ships

@Roadmonkeytj Thank you, I shortened the upper deck cannons significantly and started on the bow and aft... and yeah, you're totally right, it is by far the most complicated parts I wanted to post a little update for you guys. So I made the ship a little bit longer and expanded the width as well. I also started the interior, by adding things such as stairs, a kitchen/furnace and a capstan. I am really loving how the ship is developing, but I have to admit I am really struggling with the cabin. As always, all tips and criticism are welcome.

Now that's a lot of sheep! Good looking build, I love sheep cage under the wall

These look great, I love the pira... I mean, privateers

Are we allowed to build ships of a class higher than class 6 ? I have a class 10 ship of the line that I would like to offer the Royal Navy. If it dosen't qualify as an entry to this chellenge, I would still like to hand her over to the Navy somehow.

The Heir of clan Kaneda looks amazing ! The seating position is perfect

These look really good! My favorite is the repeating Crossbowman and the rocket artillery

I have used the technic before, it's quite sturdy. Great scene @evancelt !

Absolutely beautiful ship, the resemblance is uncanny. Have you tried making the eyes with a white dish and a black 1x1 round tile? I think the size might be more accurate to the reference image

Great use of the pieces! I love the dream idea too, it's a good way to build non consequential scenes.

Merry Christmas !

Very fun build idea !

Great moc! I was just thinking of making a similarly small class 1~2 piragua to use my free licence. I really like the liveliness on the pictures, specially that last one

Thank you both for the feedback! I tried out the lego cannons yesterday but honestly I don't think they work so well with this one. So I will design a smaller cannon instead for more distinction
