Thank you! They were fun! Thanks judges!

That boat is really funny, it just looks to me like a blow-up kids toy! The truck is really cool too and the clips in the grass work really well (took me a while to figure out that it was SNOTted!). Great build!

Nice and colorful house! The furniture is pretty neat too!

That's the plan!

Two licenses is fine, as long as the MOC justifies it (as it does in this case).

As I said on Flickr, this is a really pretty build! I love the inviting greenery, and the flowers add such a beautiful dash of color! The minifigures going about their springtime work (or play) add a great touch and the entire scene looks very inviting!

Great build, I really like the contrast between the white and the grey! The covered walkway is also really neat and nice work on the wall texture!

Leadership is actually in the process of changing the free-build scoring system to eliminate the approval aspect and to simplify it for automation. So hold your horses for an update in April!

Yes, you must submit this via license form. Regarding the other question: will get back to you on that (also on whether or not 0 cargo is okay for bounty runs). --- Great build! You did a really good job portraying the activity in this scene, the texture for the background wall is very nice too!

Great job here Elostirion, the bright colors of the buildings really make this build pop! The water depth adds a lot as well and good work on the ships; you managed to get a much more accurate sail on The Cotton Lady than I did!

Very nice micro Phadeout, I really like the use of those curves as sails! The flag is a great addition and the smoke is a nice touch!

Part One Captain's Log. February 14, 616. A run-in with pirates today! Sighted off the starboard bow right after 6 bells. The Queen of Terreli engaged quickly while the three merchant ships crowded sail in an attempt to distance themselves. Although she took some heavy blows, we were pleased to see the Queen victorious over the pirate cruisers by 9 bells. She caught up with us just before dark and we resumed our course. This is a rendition of Elostirion's The Cotton Lady: This is a rendition of Phadeout's Fénix: And this is a rendition of my The Golden Snake: I love micro ships! So of course, this was great fun. Constructive criticism is welcome! Thanks for looking!

I haven't started a group conversation yet, but will soon. I thought that might be the case with La Defensora but just wanted to be sure! By the way everyone, the MRCA form is ready, so go ahead and submit one of those whenever.

Very nice build, lots of details and also a great peaceful feel. I really like how you included the fishery!

Yes - one slot, if Captain Green Hair's ship has speed 3. Just double checking here - your ship has to have 3 speed to go on the Double Duty run. If La Defensora is less than that (which seems to be the case?) then I'd suggest trying out for Corrington's Quick Wing run.

Evidently you already saw it, but in any case: March Trade Runs.

Another free-build this month from me!

Recently, Guy K. Wyndzon made a fairly significant outlay in scientific chemicals and instruments. Today he finally wrapped business up enough to dabble a little. After walking into the room that used to be the great hall, located in the older wing of his prestigious mansion, Guy spent some time organizing and unpacking his precious collection. At last he found what he was in search of - a crystal vial filled with a purplish goo. "Aha!" he exclaimed. Gingerly he lifted the container and then made a dash at a little glass tube that lay nearby. "A little of this, then I think, with a little of that...” Cautiously he poured the vaporous liquid from the vial into the tube. "So beautiful!" Guy held the tube up admiringly. But as he continued looking, Guy was suddenly shocked by seeing a vision of his Uncle through the purple vapor! Guy’s loud scream echoed off the high ceiling. He dropped one of the tubes and just managed to hold on to the other as he stepped backwards into the table from sheer astonishment - and perhaps from a bit of fear, too. "What have you done?!?!?" His Uncle's voice seemed to thunder through the hall. Guy was speechless. "What... what foppery have you introduced in here? With what nonsense have you ventured to desecrate this time-hallowed hall?!? What maniacal fever could have impelled you to so thoroughly forget reason as to squander such a quantity of hard-earned money?!?!" Never in his life had Guy heard his Uncle say so many words at one time! At last he recovered the use of his voice. "Not nonsense, Uncle - science!" And Guy waved his arm around grandly. His Uncle’s eloquence had been exhausted, but he still stood there like an avenging angel, his stick resting firmly and immovably on the floor, his eyebrows gathered like lightning-bolts over his frowning eyes. “Look,” Guy began, “look – see – all these wonderful chemical compounds – discoveries just begging to be made! Imagine what we could do with…” “Not interested!” “By the way, Uncle – I thought you were in Weelond.” “I was.” “Oh. Well – to go on – see, I’m at present deeply immersed in a groundbreaking research paper. I think I shall title it, ‘On the Three Shades of Gold and the Interactions Between Them, or, An Exposition of the Similarities and Differences Between the Warm, Pearl, and Chrome Shades of the Element Known as Gold.’ I’m considering adding an epilogue that details the specific effects of Aqua Regia upon each one.” Guy paused, but seeing that his Uncle did not appear inclined to make a comment, he continued, “Above – that is, on the next story – you can see the magnificent contraption that I have but just assembled; it makes electricity! Just think of what could be done with such a source of power!” Guy seemed about to begin a long eulogy, but a yawn from his Uncle made him continue to a different subject. “Then, you see, a new discovery has just been made and I long to corroborate it! According to a well-known scientist of Corrington, the legs of a frog twitch when brought into contact with certain machinery…” “Frog legs?” Guy’s Uncle interposed, suddenly interested. “Yes!” Guy exclaimed, pleased to see that his Uncle was paying some attention. “So it is said – and I have just received three crates of tropical frogs, straight from our new island, Torrach Bonn…” “Are you going to waste these expensive frogs on some silly experiment?!?” “No, no, of course not – we can eat them afterwards!” “Hum! You had better be sure not to add any strange-smelling stuff.” “Certainly not – but, by the by… what are you doing here?” “I’m here to tell you to pack.” “To tell me to pack? Whatever for?” “Your ship leaves tomorrow.” “Well? – I know that.” “And you leave with it.” “What?!” “You’re coming to the New World.” Guy stared blankly at his Uncle. “It’s all arranged. I got you a house in Bardo.” Guy’s jaw dropped. “Come on, let’s go eat those frog legs.” “Wait! – wait! I have to experiment on them first!…” Overview: This was fun to build! Inspired by Bregir's Society. And credit for the floor design goes to Jacob Nion. C&C welcome!

Beautiful vegetation! I never can get my green to pop like that when I take it against a white background! The combination of palm trees and the other kind of leaves looks really nice and good job with the exciting story!

Thank you! Thanks Lady K! Thank you! Thanks! Thanks! Now there'd be a twist! - powers of madness... Thank you!

I pronounce it O-lay-on, or maybe O-lee-on. Never occurred to me to drop off the n.

Thought some of you might be interested in seeing close-ups of the carriage:

Four days left to enter! Start the band playing!

Excellent market you've got here! Good work with the diversity and the awning is a nice addition!

That roof looks really good! The rest of the scene looks pretty nice as well!
