Vig. 59b Here is my over haul of the three and ten standard posted on forbidden cove. I took it further and created my impression of what the harbor should have looked like. I know it is a digital creation and all, but it still took me a long time and took a lot of dedication. Some digital creations are ignored due to the fact they are immaterial, please look past this barrier and see my hard work. I have shared digital creations in the past and received little credit for the creations. I debated with myself whether not I should post it here. I am proud of this creation so far. their is still a little work to be done. I named it Efford Port due to the effort put in So with out further ado. Here is a few days of my life. Efford Port. The over all creation This over view reveals most of the creation. In the foreground (left) is the jetty. The tower has a crane that helps unload the cargo. The cargo is then put on the train so it can be taken into the main building where it can be logged and transferred to where it needs to go. The jetty has stock sitting on it. Notice the yellow hexagonic shere as corn or wheat and the black as coal. Other numerous creates and barrels sit around. Contents of these consist of rum, firepowder and other things of trade like salt. Even some full grown trees have been shipped in. Some shots of the Tower and jetty. You can see in this picture some more of the cargo like the train/wagon wheels. Also note the cleaver use of the space part as tie offs for harboring boats. Nothing new from this angle. It is taken as if standing ontop on the armory. The view from the main door. You can imagine the boats pulling in with the precious cargo. Also this demonstartes the usefulness of the digital creation. Angles like this could never be taken with real Lego unless the creation was pulled apart. The Main Building To the left is the guards section, with a lookout and armory. The roof you may notice is dark blue fabuland roof (two pictures above). this is where digital creations have the down fall of inclusion of parts that do not exist in the right colour. Another example is the white stair case. None the less, if I were to build this it would be relatively easy to just make the brick built equivalent. In this angle you get a greater feel for the "grandure" of the building. I used some old english architecture as inspiration. I love old castles and mansions. I feel this building as a very "lord of the manor" feel to it. One would almost expect to see it in the middle of a golf course! Another angle, You can see an old wagon sitting next to the armory, I am wanting to add all these nice details in. Personally I love the decoritve arch pieces. In this moc it works really well. What do you think of this piece? Do you know where it is from? A close up of the building. I really wish to build this in real life. I doubt it will ever happen. You can see another problem with digital creations parts in the wrong spots! the two 1x1 flats are not sposed to be there. Looks like I am headed back to the editor for some corrections as well as additions. The Back As you can some interior is planned. This is only half of the building. the next half is not yet built. All the "open" section will have more building. (the far right will be windowed.) Here are some pieces of furnature I intend to add. Some of you might recognice your own designs here... (picture is link) Hope you have enjoyed viewing my creation. C and C welcome. Please let me know what you think of it. If you think it would work in real life and what else you would like to see with in the final creation. Regards, Cpt. PB

Sadly this is the life we live. I feel for this family. His Dad has had a hard run. As Hinckley said the mix up in the picture and the story disappoints me further. As for the set inquiry as it said in the article he liked the more "complicated older sets" I am guessing it was a technic or motorized set. How nice would it be for Lego to send the Dad a grievance card even though they had nothing to do with the death. Wonder if he had any brothers or sisters? Regards, Cpt. PB

Here are some decals I have made for an upcoming moc and maybe fictitious village/ characters for the ebrp. The land found between the Crown Kingdom and King Leos Kingdom housed a special little village of intrigue and splendor. Sitting right on the boarder, the village uses a special emblem to recognize its special location. A combination of the two. While criticized for looking more like the King Leo symbol, it will be noted the lion wears the crown of the Crown Kingdom, and has the colours of the CK. Here they are... Resources where our very own torso index and templates and some designs from Classic Castle Also special thanks to Lamanda and her beautiful collection of decal designs. Regards, Cpt. PB

Well, just finished sorting half my collection. The following were found. Clone bricks by the ice cream container! Nails, Bubble gum, key chains. a drawing compass, mobile phone cover, metal toy cars, various other construction toy bits. Paper, bus ticket, promotional movie pass from 1999. ect. Please note most of this came from collections I have recently acquired... I am still working on getting off al the bubble gum on some of the bits. Regards, Cpt. PB

Great idea. Have you recently watched the movie "shoot 'em up" recently. Carrots can be dangerous indeed!!

Yeah! it only gets better after death, no gravity and everything! She is my kind now so back off. I do not care how many centuries you have "had" her. Im "having" her now for centuries!

Nothing beats the original.

Nothing the white wizard can't fix.

Wow even MOC discussion goes here! I saw them in a recent MOC, Made me think of ordering a few. But first I need to workout bricklink?!?! From what I understand You want to make a curved tower, there is a technique you can use in a 2x1 and a cylinder. Check out the church in the community build in the castle section! Also for the top of the tower also check out that thread! Some great Ideas in there!

You can see my brains! That was worth waiting for. Three of them all at my house WOW. I think I know who as well. Thanks for the game guys, hope at least some of you were surprised by me being a rat. I will be a devoted reader from here out. Cpt. PB :skull:

Wow, that is great news! I was thinking a tan or white, for my second one (when if I get it ) Do you think that is too much tan? What colours do people think would suit these buildings? Can the other building also be changed with ease? And do you think the blacksmith building on Bricklink would go well with this set? THIS ONE, Obviously I would mod it into a house or bar!

Well, I am still waiting for your second MC... *taps foot* Draggy Hurry UP!!! Actually I will shoot you a PM about it?

Fair enough, just a suggestion. I used it for my French homework sometimes

What about using Google Translator?

General Grievous was on sale when I bought this, close to half price! I was wondering and "err"ing over the blue colour. I was hoping it is better in real life than it was in pictures. 16ish (working days) and counting...

Tough Love told you... He really likes us Australians PS please hurry up...

Easy done, once it is a model it is a simple tweak and picture edit. Hope these are to your liking (note this is the dark green) Links to larger pics. Regards, Cpt. PB

When hinckel berry likes you he practices a little tough love He might just kill you for the fun of it!

Today from Lego.com MMV and 4 Soldiers Arsenal! (Postage is charged by how much you spend so the soldiers came with free shipping so to speak) Regards, Cpt. PB
