SevenDeadlyStreamers

My daughter, Sydney, wanted to join in on the fun, so I will enter her build first! She is 13 and likes to build mini and micro size MOCs. This one should be easily recognizable. It is a mini version of the Imperial Trading Post (set 6277) where the Infamous Steve made his debut! I helped her choose a few elements, such as the Gryffindor tile to represent the Cutter’s main sail! And here’s another view from a slightly different angle. I will relay comments and criticisms to her, so please feel free to let us know what you think! (edit) As per request, I’ve made some custom stickers with BrickLink Part Designer. My daughter used BrickLink Studio to build the figs then I turned the images into decals. And here is the final result. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for the suggestion Captain Crit! July update - I’ve added a few more figs to make it accurate to the original set (with Steve front and centre) And last but not least, I’ve attempted to replicate the original box artwork!

Is there a minimum and maximum piece count for the Small Build Category?

Hello, my name is Josh and I go by “Seven Deadly Streamers”. I have recently joined the Brethren of the Brick Seas with my sigfig Capt’n Tongs. I plan on participating in this contest, however I enjoy friendly competition so I will encourage everyone to do their best and give constructive criticism whenever I can! At start of First to 25 Challenges:

Thank you, I thought that was the case but just wanted to be sure!

May I register to be a Creative Critic and also submit builds? I have a small and large build in mind however, I do not want to disqualify myself by requesting to be a Critic.

Thanks, I felt bad that I didn’t build the frame out of LEGO though, lol Thank you, glad to be a part of the Sea Rats!

Haha, I thought the chefs hat wouldn’t be fancy enough so I found a fabulous wig. Thanks! Appreciate it!

My entry for Category B!

Entry for “Rogue’s Gallery” A portrait of Capt'n Tongs in front of a meal he himself prepared. Here is a render of the entire MOC

When does the pole end? Looking forward to participating (already have a few ideas for different categories)

Thank you, now I just need to learn everyone else’s characters… may take a while, lol Thanks, I’m glad you recognized my MOC from the past contest. I’m interested in the next contest, can’t wait to participate and see everyone else’s MOCs! Yes yes, I have some ideas. I’m going to wait for the next few transition challenges go for ERA III and see how I can incorporate my characters into the bigger picture.

Thank you, I’m looking forward to participating in Era III, can’t wait to see what BotBS has in store. Thanks, it was fun imagining a story for these characters, even if it was a tragic one.

Here is the link to the introduction of my sigfig Elwood W. Ulch - below that you can find his tragic backstory and why he has hooks for hands which gave him the nickname Capt’n Tongs. Where to begin?… it has been nearly 20 years since Elwood stumbled upon that secluded island as a member of the Eslandola Faction. Attempts at peaceful contact were not successful, although Elwood’s superior officer made a commendable effort. The island tribe feared the unusual weapons and appearance of the visitors in green coats. Things quickly escalated and Elwood found himself face to face with a powerful adversary wielding double hatchets. Elwood was a formidable opponent and was able to hold his own wielding dual cutlasses. In the end, Elwood just couldn’t fend off the enemy and it cost him both hands. Although he survived the ordeal, he was tossed in a cell and left for dead. At the brink of giving up all hope, Elwood was rescued by an island girl. They were able to escape the island and start a life for themselves. Elwood’s wife would change her name to Eve and bring two beautiful twin babies into the world. Their names are Emily and Edward. For a few years, this happy family enjoyed the best years of their lives together. Elwood earned the nickname Capt’n Tongs by the Sea Rats that he would provide fish for, since he would often scale, clean, and even cook the fish with his hook hands holding it over an open fire. Speaking of fire, this is where our tale takes another tragic turn. When returning with the children from another fishing expedition, Capt’n Tongs finds his home incinerated with no sign of his beloved Eve. Capt’n Tongs has never given up hope. While running the Sea Rat’s Scullery restaurant he will often seek out information of his wife’s whereabouts. He patiently waits for the day that he can finally get revenge for his fallen comrades and mother of his children! Thanks for reading!

Nice video matey! And I must say, you helped me decide on my vote 😉

Cat A “Storm Chasers” by Bricksbypidy “Kraken Attack” by Bricksbypidy Cat B “The Questers” by Professor Thaum “Something About the Butcher’s Cat” by Bregir EDIT (by Prof Thaum) Thanks for the understanding in my errors (this is the first time participating in this type of challenge)

Awesome build! And what a great use of that Halloween GWP. I also have one, now I’ve got to try to build something epic too!

My entry to Challenge 1 (Cat.A) Also, I just introduced my sigfig Cap’n Tongs and joined the Sea Rats faction! Thank you everyone who has wished me a warm welcome!

Something is amiss at Cap’n Tongs’ restaurant, the Sea Rat’s Scullery! Normally the fish that are caught are the freshest around, however that has not been the case lately. Fish are now floating dead on the surface and the ones that are caught go bad within hours. Even rats have been spotted onboard lured in by the smell of rotten fish. Maybe there are toxins in the water or perhaps a temperature change killing all the fish? Or could there be something more supernatural lurking beneath the waves in the New Haven seas?

Thank you, I wanted to introduce my characters before entering the Era III challenge. I have a backstory figured out and another MOC or two to share. I’ve posted in that other thread, but if I missed something, please don’t hesitate to let me know! Thanks again NOD!

Cap’n Tongs Elwood W. Ulch was once a decorated privateer, however the loss of both hands severely limited his usefulness. Lost and searching for his purpose, he became a fisherman. He eventually had two children named Emily and Edward. Once they grew old enough, they learned many skills from their father including fishing and cooking. Some time later they opened a makeshift restaurant right there on the open waters. Because Elwood disconnected himself from the previous faction he was aligned with, he gravitated towards the Sea Rats. He felt like he was an outcast but still wanted to bring delicious cuisine to seafarers like himself. The Sea Rats welcomed Elwood and children and gave him the nickname “Cap’n Tongs” due to his metallic hands. And they named the floating restaurant the Sea Rat’s Scullery. How did he lose his hands? What faction was he a part of? What happened to the mother of Emily and Edward? These are all stories for another time.

I’ve read somewhere that there’s a Discord. Is it active? It might be easier if I drop my questions there (I read a lot of the lore and boy there’s a lot) I think I grasp most of the starting points. I have created my character and know what faction I’d like to join. I also created a couple MOCs to aid in story telling. Hopefully I can get it all ready before the deadline!

I built a MOC, and I’ve came up with a short story to go along with it. I’m hoping to have it put together this weekend to share with all of you!

Will I be able to participate in future instalments of brethren of the brick seas if I missed submitting this round? I can try to pull something together if it’s required.
