Now I wonder whatever this might be for... Very nice shape and the sail is good too thought I would expect to see it go up in flames any minute now! Most fire ships were probably slightly bigger than this (don't think a rowboat in flames would cause too much damage unless it lit the gunpowder room!), but a good concept here!

Like Milo said, Avalonia is the most strict? organized? guild on the subject of picking lands. It has a pretty well updated map with all the little claims the different tree-huggers have made. In Kaliphlin, it's mostly just that a few people have started their own towns here or there. I actually think most of those are on the latest map... if I could find the latest map. Looks like the one on the front page is the latest. There are also several close ups however; here, here, here, here, here, here. Anyhow, there are lots of little spots left in Kaliphlin. Mitgardia is similar, and also has a fairly updated map I think. The same with Nocturnus.

Love the use of that floor technique here! The stonework and the printing press are great as well. Not completely sure about the gold balcony (kind of odd for a printer's shop!) but the paper hanging up is great!

A build from me in Arlinsport (thanks to Phred ). Not licensed (yet).

Another build of mine in Salida Este: Not licensed (yet). Edit: And another build, not licensed:

Previously: Part I - Striking The Deal Part II - The Captain's Boat Part III - The Hurricane Part IV - The Cartographer Part V - The Letter Unfortunately for First Mate Henrique Navarrez, his cousin's idea of a "safe hand" left somewhat to be desired. The messenger happened to run into an old acquaintance on his way through Salida Este in an effort to locate the Gallant, and, of course, a drink and a good meal were essentials. Meanwhile, the letter - and Father Tholeau's journal - lay forgotten on the table. After the trusty messenger had left, in walked a character with whom we are already slightly familiar. Rhys Thomson slid onto a bench, muttering as he did so, "Harder than my spouse's head, as my wife would surely say!" Then he called loudly for a roll and a glass. Presently he spotted the sealed missive lying on the far end of the table. "What have we here?" he ejaculated under his breath. Then he opened the packaging, and quickly spotted the heading, "Journal of Father Tholeau." "Hm-mm," the detective murmured. "Well, as my wife would say, finders keepers, losers weepers. I have a good friend in the printing business that will love this." Then he looked up from his reading and noticed a young man standing in front of him. "Can I do something for you?" "That depends. Are you the detective Rhys Thomson, of Salida Este?" "Yes, sir, I am Rhys Thomson, and I am detective of Salida Este - the detective of Salida Este, there being none other so enterprising. Tell me, sir, what brings you here this fine evening? At least, as my wife would say, this evening that will be fine, provided it ends in a good bed?” “I have a case for you.” “A case? You’ve come to the right man. Of what sort?” “A case of murder.” “Another one!” the detective thought to himself, but, never one to spill the beans, he did not say it aloud. “But, instead of finding the murderer, I want you to find the victim.” For once, Rhys Thomson was startled out of his usual poker face. “In my experience it is not customary for a detective to be – ah – necessary to find – dead people.” “Unless,” the young man replied mysteriously, “unless, they’re still alive.” Rhys pulled at his mustache. Here was a puzzler – as his wife would surely say. After a minute he added, “Well, young man, sit down! Sit down! Let’s talk business! First – your name?” To be continued... A few more pictures of the build: Credit to W. Navarre for that lantern design! In case this is slightly confusing, I've used this build to further two separate storylines - one featuring the detective, Rhys Thomson, which I will continue separately - the other one dealing with the Fountain of Youth, which will be continued as well. C&C welcome!

As SK mentioned, that roof does indeed look really good, and so does the red and brown pattern! I like the hat rack and other stuff you've got there as well.

Those swirls are great, and the trans clear bits scattered around add a lot of realism. Got to feel sorry for that poor tiny ship! Nice use of technic pieces there!

Previously: Part I - Striking The Deal Part II - The Captain's Boat Part III - The Hurricane Part IV - The Cartographer To my esteemed cousin, Henrique Navarrez, First Mate of the EMS Gallant Dear cousin, I write this with eyes sore and bleary from copying, and truly, I am tempted to envy you your free and active life on the high seas. I am here penned up in a tiny academy, learning the rudiments of the science of cartography, and in my spare time doing a bit of copyist work, in return for which I bed and board gratis. The life of an academician may be a secure one, but I dearly wish that my parents will one day repent themselves of their decision and allow me to join the army - else I shall be sorely tempted to follow your example and run off to Eslandola. If I could be sure of your luck, I would do it at once. But enough of that - I have enclosed a journal - a copy I myself have made - of the travels of a certain Father Tholeau, which I think may be of interest. See that you use it wisely however, for in fact I do not think sending it to you is quite what the academy master had in mind when he sent me with it to the copyists' room. Nevertheless, knowing your interest in anything that partakes of the marvelous, I have enclosed the copy and am sending it to you by a safe hand. May the winds always be in your sails, good cousin, and God bless you! Signed, Sebastian Navarrez.

As they say, practice makes progress, so just start somewhere and I'm sure you'll improve! Welcome to the guilds and be sure to join Kaliphlin!

The FP here is spot on! I really like that island. And the use of white for the railing is very nice!

A very nice build, I really like the enclosed section for the pigs. Great interior too!

Yup, those slipped my mind. An easy +1 there!

Excellent use of that Nexo Knights shield! A really nice interior scene.

Very nice build Garmadon, that palm tree is awesome! The barrels are great too, and I really like the olive cheese scattered around.

A very impressive build here! The pattern's you've got all over are just fantastic. I really like the dark orange squares in particular, but the white cheese going up the side of the main entrance is really good too.

Thanks SK! I've been trying to introduce some whimsical characters with their own little idiosyncrasies in BoBS following the popularity of Guy's Uncle. Thanks!

Great idea for the cannon balls here, I really like the sci-fi pirate ship too.

Thanks Capt Wolf! It definitely was a really fun build. I've been considering doing another one in fact... hard to find time though! You're welcome to use that anchor design... it was one of those things that just "clicked" right together and looked great!

Thanks! Kinda ran out of time on this one to do any buildings - maybe next market scene!

Thanks LJ! Dark orange is quite a useful color, wish I had a bit more of it!

Definitely a unique tree. Can't say the color combo is quite to my taste, but it's good in a nasty sort of way. I mean, it looks like if you cut it down it would be one of those really healthy veggies that no one wants to eat. That trike is great, I like what you've done putting two wheels up front and one in back; the horns go really nicely too!

Great to see my blacksmith's shop there! Thanks Ecc!

As a small Art & Culture I think the build fits well, but certainly I can't see it being licensed as a warehouse; so if MAESTRO would like to license a warehouse, someone would have to build it.

Very nice prospecting build! I like what you did with the dark tan to merge it into your other rockwork. Great to see another MCTC pig, too.
