Thanks Mesabi! Corners of a wall with SNOT tiles are always awkward, but I was able to solve this one pretty neatly and that made me happy!

Esterhazy de Troir made a cameo in my last build, for anyone who is curious as to what the sensible member of the MCTC delegation looks like:

Looking forward to it!

Great little vig Captain Genaro, the wallpaper looks really nice and so does the chimney!

What I love about this is that there are gold domes on the roof. I don't think the word expensive is in Sir Dee's vocabulary! Great job on the wheels themselves too! Might we see one or two of them in operation someday?

And the story is back on the air! Looking forward to the next installments, great job with this waterfront! And did I spy a monkey? I wouldn't walk near that crane if I were you...

You've really hit on a great color/texture combination with these builds, the stone and woodwork look so good on this one and they go great with the snowy landscape! Lovely waterwheel, trees, and ice too!

This is a really nice market place, great colorful awnings and nice amount of bustle!

Wow, I finally struck it rich! I had begun to despair of that ever happening...

That's a sweet engraved brick! Great job showing it off too!

Thanks Bodi!

I really like the slatted floor of this MOC, great job with the rows of clothing too. I will guess number 1 for him, just because it's so ridiculous that you'd never have included it if it wasn't what he's actually wearing, and for her I'll guess number 8 (although, on the previous principle, I almost guessed 10 - I really can't get Cole out of my head when seeing that shirt! ).

Great start to this expedition, I really like your bay window and of course that elegant door frame! The hat rack looks really nice too!

This is a really neat little ship - like all yours, looks like it'd be a lot of fun to play with! Great job with the green and black diagonal on the stern!

Thanks Professor Thaum! I really love that table design myself! Thank you! Thanks Legostone! Thanks Capt Wolf! I found the fig posing pretty difficult without studs to stick 'em to! Thanks Garmdon! Yeah, the size of those curves makes the entire room a little big! Thank you! Feel free to borrow as much as you like! The chandelier is my own, though this isn't the first time I've used a wheel for a chandelier, but the table is a copy of one by @Jacob Nion - I built it from memory though, and I'm sure it's a little different than the original! Thank you!

A new build from me!

A new small educational facility in Weelond!

Treasure! The word had been magical; at the call of adventure and intrigue and a pile of shiny gold doubloons Guy K. Wyndzon had left his Secretary-of-State-ship, his head-of-the-MCTC-ship, and all other -ships which he possessed. Besides, he was tired of the routine of urban life, tired of the tightrope of political strife - ready to strike out a new path. Hard work, certainly, he expected. Visions of himself hacking through underbrush, whacking at mosquitoes and wiping off beads of sweat haunted his daydreams. But reality turned out to be worse. Because, as Guy discovered all too soon, in these days of civilization, you can't just go on a treasure hunt. First, you must receive a treasure-hunter's license; to do this, you must pass a treasure-hunting course, which requires special training in swordsmanship and the use of firearms; there's also a subsidiary course on how to best dig a hole while doing the least possible danger to the environment. Then you must apply specifically for a license to treasure hunt in some particular area. Fortunately, if you don't know exactly where you intend to hunt, there exists a blanket organization which, for a moderate fee, handles the paperwork between you and the several regional departments of the interior and exterior, except for a few recalcitrant departments that insist on doing things their own individual way - to which departments, of course, you must apply separately. In order for your expedition to be approved, you must provide a detailed expedition plan which includes exactly the quantity of provisions you intend to take, the members of your expedition and their former employments, port of departure, intended port of return, date of departure, estimated date of return, and a list of five people to contact in case of emergency. Some departments also require a list of arms and equipment. Besides all that, you and anyone accompanying you have to pass a background check and a medical check. At one time there was a bill in agitation that would have required a would-be treasure hunter to leave in security an amount sufficient to cover the tax on the amount of treasure a qualified (and commission-earning) official expected the hunter might be able to make. But this was thought too stringent. As for Guy, he's still stuck on the swordsmanship part. At Uncle's instigation, he applied for lessons to a former naval officer (suspicions abound as to whether he retired or was cashiered). Whatever else may be said about the officer, he certainly knows his business! Guy studied on in his spare time between red tape, and slowly - quite slowly - improved. His instructor is a master at the craft, and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Outside of lesson hours, Guy often comes and practices on his own. The naval officer also has a shooting gallery in another part of the building (a partially refurbished warehouse, by the way). In fact, he allows the best shots to practice on the shield. Guy isn't among them. Guy's Uncle has been a tower of strength to him in these difficult days of paperwork and lessons. So when Guy heard that his Uncle was "just going" flower-hunting on Celestia, well, he was outraged. ----------------------------- Just a little build to explain why Guy's treasure hunt has been taking so long! Unfortunately he probably won't be done with his paperwork too soon, because I've got a busy schedule including time away from my bricks ahead of me, but hopefully the story will be make up for the wait when it comes along! A few more pictures: If you'd like to get a glimpse behind the scenes you can do so on my blog! Thank you for looking! C&C welcome!

This is great Elostiron, fantastic job on the mountainous terrain, not to mention the staircase and all the flora! The use of grey ingots for the platform on top is perfect, and the winged statue is a really neat idea! Glad to hear you're going to keep exploring, I hope that means more MOCs like this!

Wow.

I almost mentioned that, actually...

Nice job on the rockwork, I really like the cave and arch formations! The light blue flowers add a nice touch of color too.

The hall atmosphere instantly lightened. It seemed everyone breathed easier without that potentially snoopy spy from their uptight neighbors in red. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Thank you! It does look like a really pretty place to live, but I imagine the mosquitoes are bad in summer!

I would be glad to see my Celestia quartet at the ball! If you can make 'em, please let me know asap and I'll try to build a little something explaining how they got from Celestia to King's Harbour. Uncle would be glad to catch the ear of anyone at the ball interested in paying a ridiculous amount for a large flower. Feel free to give those who need it a slightly more formal outfit. Also it's not all or nothing; if you can just build one or two that's fine! The quartet:
