Captain Braunsfeld

Excellent ship. Wow! But the foresail...

I agree to that Justsomebrix said. I am speechless

I have seen many fine MOCs of yours but I am tempted to say that this is your best creation! Thanks for also sharing that clay secret behind Thomas' face.

(Still at South Cothelstone Hall) Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast quickly closes and locks the door to the room which Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat had entered. Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast (or is he?): (to himself) “That was easy!” “That door will hold them for some time. Enough time for me to….” (leaves) (Cut into the room with our heroes) Dr. Sonwat: “Well here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into.” Sholmes: “That door is locked. And massive.” Dr. Sonwat: “Yepp.” Sholmes: “Surely you brought your pistol so that we can shoot our way out.” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” Sholmes (looks out the window): “We are high up in a tower. No way we could escape through the windows.” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” (Sholmes sits down) Sholmes: “I doubt that Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast is himself. I guess he has been replaced by someone who just looks like him.” Dr. Sonwat: “Just as it happened with Lord Rushinthought and Lord Fortescue.” Sholmes: “The fake Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast went to the ‘Crab and Lobster Club’. There he must have heard about the horse race money and the diamond.” Dr. Sonwat: “And then he changed his disguise and stole both of them.” Sholmes: “He must have prepared those disguises earlier on. We are dealing with someone who is quite clever.” Dr. Sonwat: “Yepp.” (Both pause to think) Dr. Sonwat: “So, we found that the key to this mystery is Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast.” Sholmes: “Yes, but unfortunately what we need now is the key to this room.” Dr. Sonwat: “Which is just outside the room outside of our reach.” (They wait) Sholmes (tosses his hat on the floor): “We let ourselves get trapped. How could we be so stupid?” Dr. Sonwat: “Curiosity killed the cat.” Sholmes: “We did not even inform Inspector Destrale.” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” (They wait) Sholmes: “This time, I do not know what is going to save us. Do you?” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” (They wait) (Cut to outside the room) (to be continued) This episode's hidden quote: The storyline so far: (The Adventure of the Horse Race Money) Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 (you are here) Chapter 9

Lucky to have such a fine silver mine!

Congratulations!

What is pirate life without gambling? "Nothing", says @Fraunceswho has created this lovely and lively Yellow Gambling Den. Find out more about it and the storyline behind it in the LEGO Pirates Forum!

Butlers are at an all-time low Maybe there is a dog behind the door? You have really followed closely

Thanks a lot. I hope you enjoy the story too.

Fine troops you have here!

The snow was a bit unexpected for BOBS - but this is sooo beautiful!

Me too

This whole story is a series of cliffhangers

Everyone is suspicious here - but we can't go on together with suspicious minds

South Cothelstone Hall. Sometime later on the same day. Our heroes Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat boldly approach the entrance. (But they could be heroes just for one day....) Dr. Sonwat: “Looks very peaceful to me.” Sholmes (preparing to knock): “Looks can be deceiving.” Voice from inside: “I hear you knocking but you can’t come in.” Sholmes: “That’s not very friendly!” Voice from inside: “Go back where you’ve been!” Sholmes: “We are here by recommendation of Lord Rushinthought.” (There is a pause, then the large door slowly opens. A man in a uniform appears.) Dr. Sonwat: “Are you Dr. Thinkslow-Shootwell?” Man in uniform: “No, I am the butler. My name is Liam Jeeves. Spelt Liam Jiamh.” Sholmes: “Then you must be bad at spelling!” Man in uniform: “What in insult! I am but of Celtic origin!” Dr. Sonwat: “Our apologies for that. We are here to meet Dr. Thinkslow-Shootwell.” Man in uniform: “I will check whether he wants to accept guests at this time of day. Whom shall I announce?” Dr. Sonwat: “Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat.” Man in uniform (with a grin): “Airlock Shoumes?” Sholmes: “No, it’s Herlock. Herlock Sholmes.” (The door closes but after a few moments it is opened again and our two heroes are invited in to meet the Dr.. They are led upstairs into a small room in the tower of the building.) Thinkslow-Shootwell: “You wanted to see me, Gentlemen?” Sholmes: “Dr. Thinkslow-Shootwell?” Thinkslow-Shootwell: “Yes.” Sholmes: “I am Herlock Sholmes and this is my partner Dr. H. Sonwat. We have been asked by Lord Rushinthought to investigate the case of his stolen horse race money.” Thinkslow-Shootwell: “I see” Sholmes: “May we ask a few questions?” Thinkslow-Shootwell: “Yes, sure.” Sholmes: “I understand that you are part of the group that regularly meets at the ‘Crab and Lobster’”. Thinkslow-Shootwell: “Yes. I am.” Sholmes: “Where you present on the day when Lord Rushinthought came back from the horse races?” Thinkslow-Shootwell: “Possibly. I do not quite remember every occasion.” Dr. Sonwat: “And where you present when Lord Fortescue came by with the diamond he had bought for his wife?” Thinkslow-Shootwell: “Also possible. But maybe more will become clear to you once you have seen what is in this room.” (opens a door) Thinkslow-Shootwell: “After you, Gentlemen.” (to be continued) This episode's hidden song references: The storyline so far: (The Adventure of the Horse Race Money) Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 (you are here) Chapter 8

The blue room is also my favorite. For this storyline I am building like for a film production. Most sets are just backdrops and should not be viewed from different angles.

The 9 3/4 sign is from the 2001 Hogwarts Express, https://brickset.com/sets/4708-1/Hogwarts-Express And the Marquis is as eloquent as ever

Thanks. I keep trying The club features a new wall approach. But I am not sure whether I really like it

Fine scene - and I like the daylight picture even more!

Great idea to share the building process with the rest of the world

Do you want to know how such a nice depot building is created? Ayrlego was so generous as to provide us with a four part breakdown of building guidelines - you can find them in the LEGO Pirates Forum!

Amazing hippodrome! And fine race story too. How many of those creations are you producing per day? I seem to be finding a new entry of yours every time I open my browser...

Fine scene with a nice historical reference. As to the current state of battles I am completely lost but I understand Eslandola is not involved

Speedys is from the BBC series Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The whole building is a reference to that series. The plot of the storyline was developed before the first episode started. Meanwhile "principal photography" is also completed and the next chapters are basically written. Might change a sentence or so. With earlier storylines I was more adventurous, but for a detective story you have to know what comes next And there is always Oscar Wilde: the importance of being Ernest!

Wat mooi! Well done, I would have loved to see that in the pirate forum!
