Great scene ! Love builds like these, full of life! I really enjoy your builds, I really appreciate that you take the time to properly create and pose your figures. I often find that your scenes tell the story without needing a text and I love to analise them to see the stories you didn't include in the text

Thank you for the win, and congrats @NOD on first place! Despite the lack of competition it was fun taking part in the challenge, thank you for setting it up

I'd say it works as a class 4, but honestly it's hard to determine based on the guidelines. It's lacking in firepower which is a bit of a minus, but for some reason it still feels a lot bigger than it is If no one debates it, I say licence it as a class 4

Thank you for the kind words evryone! Nope! It's just using tention, you'd be surprised how well the bucket handles attach to the bottom sides of tiles I'm planing on developing and featuring the crew a lot more! I have a ton of them built and ready to be put in mocs

A small basement tavern in Punto Sur (small artisan)

Category : small artisan

After an uneventful pirate hunt, the disappointed Queenston Privateers decided to hold a vote to figure out their next move. Sinbad, who was chosen to lead the fleet, spoke first. He proposed they head towards El Oleanda where they could hunt the few remaining Lotus who still scour the area. It was a logical plan and the crews seemed to agree, when suddenly a gunner from the Andromache spoke up "What about the Oktoberfest ! They'll be over soon.. and we're only 3 days away from Punto Sur!" The crews simultaneously spoke up in agreement. Sinbad, caught off guard by the irresponsible yet brilliant suggestion, repressed his want to go and put on his serious captain act "Nay brothers! We've been sent here on a mission, a mission to eradicate our Queens enemies from the brick seas! How could we allow ourselves to let her down and go enjoy the festivities of Punto Sur, the hundreds of barrels of beer, the delicious foods, the parades.. the shooting games... the beautiful women..." Sinbad lost his train of thought and stood their in silence looking down on the crews, they all looked up at him with confused expressions, creating a very uncomfortable silence... When suddenly they all burst into laughter. "Ah screw it, I've never claimed to be a Great man" Sinbad said to himself, his obvious facade now gone "Set a Course for Punto Sur!" And just like that, the 4 ships set sail to Punto Sur. While enjoying all the activities the Oktoberfest has to offer, Sinbad found himself a small overcrowded Basement tavern where he would end up spending most of his nights. While drinking and singing with the rest, he spotted a shy looking man with formel clothes standing awkwardly and alone in the middle of the room with his drink in hand. The drunk captain quickly and loudly made his way towards him and dragged the man back with him to meet the crew. The obnoxious and drunk crew welcomed the weird man with drinks and laughter. The man presented himself as Frederick Chapman, a naval architect based in Jameston, well used to before captain Nardau blew his office to pieces. To which Sinbad and the crew chose not to reveal that one of Nardau's ships had once belonged to them... A couple barrels of beer later, the shy man Sinbad had spotted was now unrecognisable. Frederick was drunkenly standing on the table chanting with the rest of the crew. For the duration of the festivities, Sinbad took Frederick under his wings and showed him how to have some propper fun, even helping him out with the ladies. It didn't take long for mister Chapman to fall in love with the lifestyle. So on the last day of Oktoberfest, with no home to go back to, and fearing he'd never see his new friends ever again, he asked if he could join them. --------------- My entry to the annual Oktoberfest minichallenge Will be licensed as a small artisan in Punto Sur

It was a last minute touch, glad you like it!

Very excited for the new era, willing to help out wherever I can

Quite an ambitious request Curious to what the response will be ... Good looking scene, the story telling was really well done on this one! Ps : her name is Annetta not Annette

Great addition to the fleet! I would have liked to see you add some more plot into how you acquire your ships. Seeing as your hunting pirates, you could for example make a scene where you capture a pirate ship (or even a whole squadron) and add it to your own fleet, or maybe you buy it at an auction, etc Also Mesabi Landing is owned by the WTC so it would have been nice to see some of they're troops stationed in the building. The scene is beautiful though, and I'm really looking forward to the dobbel-decker!

The ship is magnificent! Beautiful display as always No it's a late 18th century frigate, it's based of the French frigate "L'incorruptible" which was a Romaine-class frigate.

Sugar Plantation, small plantation for Queenston

As Queenston's two Royal Plantations quickly let the world know that Queenston was to become a prominent figure in the sugar business. Both small and large investors have come to the settlement, wishing to get a piece of the land while they still can. Here you see the small plantation of a retired sailor, he had spent his whole life working on various merchant vessels, until he eventually gained enough trust and experience to be made captain of a his own fluyte. He earned a decent living as a merchant, but realised that he would need a quicker way to earn doubloons, if he were to become a land owner before he got to old. So when Corrington declared war on the Lotus, he decided now was the time and he sold his fluyte back to the company and bought himself a small sloop. He had managed to secure a "Letter of Marque" allowing him to harass Loti trade while keeping a large portion of the profits. He convinced some of his old crew to join him on his sloop and together they left for the New Heaven Sea as Privateers. For months they attacked the loti, capturing several merchant Junks and in one occasion even recapturing a previously lost Corrie brig. He eventually met up with Scarver and served in his squadron for a little while. As the allied invasion of El Oleonda took place, Loti shipping in the area drastically reduced, but his time as a privateer had been profitable. So he decided it was time to use his earnings as intended and purchase some land. When he returned to Corrie territory, he heard news that Scarver now served as Mayor of Corringtons first settlement on Arlintina, without a second thought he packed his belongings and brought his family to Queenston. He used his savings to buy a large patch of land and got to work on his soon to be sugar plantation. Now, fully in business, he rides through his fields of sugar cane every morning at sunrise, greeting his workers on their way to work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built this small plantation for the GoC task 14, Bastion of the East. However I severely underestimated how many tan spyglasses I'd need for the sugar cane, so I compensated with a ton of different palm trees to fill the space I spent well over an hour editing a white background behind the moc, but the file was too big to be posted on flickr so it was all for nothing Will be licenced as a small plantation for Queenston

Very cool scene, glad you decided to make it even though the siege was lifted a while ago. I really love your storytelling, and the dynamic scene makes it all the better As for the ship I think it feels more like a class 2 than a class 3, but ultimately it's up to you

@Khorne Brilliant story telling, truly inspiring. Can't wait for the rest !

Upon re-reading the last King ports advertisement, it appears the Gentleman Privateer died Thank you! Still unsure if I will take the opportunity to rebuild her as a new ship, with different colours while upgrading the things I'm less happy about, or if I simply add the sails and rigging. Either way I'll have to make some bricklink orders as the mast is way too fragile for my liking. @Fraunces @Wellesley @Captain Braunsfeld Thank you for the kind words!

@NOD I wouldn't bet on it, I hear the Gentlemen Privateer is quite the charmer

Another masterpiece from you Nod! Hope she stays a merchant :)

Despite my lack of comments on previous posts of yours, I've been enjoying reafing your stories every time they show up on main page. Sad to see such an entertaining character go, but also fun to see a character death (we don't get those a lot!) And it was a well written and fitting end for Hercules. Well done!

Gotta agree with you on that one, however ot would demand a LOT of paper work to fix this issue (by now there's gotta be like 300 ships in the game! ) But I think you were right about the acheron, as it dosen't feel right to me that one deckers are licenced as anything more than a class 7. Thank you! There are figs on the presentation image for the Acheron, Immortalité and on the fleet picture at the end, but they're not too visible Thank you very much!

Great to see some more galleys in the game
