Captain Braunsfeld

Fantastic creation

A strange procession of even stranger characters approaches a mighty gate in the jungle. Where will it lead to? Find more pictures of @Bricksbypidy's excellent and exciting creation in the LEGO Pirate Forum.

Ok. Unfortunately we have a clear distinction here in the family. My wife buys and builds all those modular houses. And I do most of the MOC stuff. Which means, I cannot take her houses apart. But I might check whether TLG sells this part on their site.

Is that a LEGO mirror? Where is it from?

Fine scene, and nice poker tables. Great addition of the candles and the mirror!

What a surprise!

Great combo of classic + new! But it is already frontpaged.... what do I pick now for the next FP update?

They already have the imperial system - what could be worse?

Amazing creation

Parking horses is getting extremely difficult in Corrington these days Yepp, one of those oldies... I think Bauwn Shauwn is quite safe Dr. Thaum is right on the pipe piece. The pirate picture - I think it is from buccaneer bay but I am not sure... I just had it There is no new money system in Corrington! Good observation! Someone was noting the absence of squirrels.... Thanks for the appraisal. No ships in this storyline. Just interiors, interiors, interiors

Thanks. The story is very interior-heavy Part 4 is out, if you haven't seen it already.

Chapter 4 Again another afternoon in Quaker Street 9 ¾ Dr. Sonwat enters Herlock Sholmes‘ living room: “Ah, I see you have resolved the mystery of the twin rabbits.” Sholmes: “Yepp.” Dr. Sonwat: “Amazing. That must have been quite difficult and exciting.” Sholmes: “Yepp.” Sholmes: “Have a seat. Something new has come up.” Dr. Sonwat: “And that is?” Sholmes: “A man came here this morning, obviously functioning as a messenger. He introduced himself as ‘Bauwn Shauwn’ and he added that he spells his name ‘Bean Sean’.” Dr. Sonwat: “And you asked him whether he was from Celtic origin?” Sholmes: “Precisely. But apparently, he was just bad at spelling.” Dr. Sonwat: “What else did he say?” Sholmes: “His master, Lord Thomas Fortescue had sent him. Fortescue is requesting our help in a case where the police obviously has given up.” Dr. Sonwat: “And what happened?” Sholmes: “I guess something has suddenly disappeared in a mysterious way.” Dr. Sonwat: “Do we have a pattern here?” Sholmes: “Let’s find out!” (They depart to meet with Lord Fortescue.) At Lord Fortescue’s manor, Fetherstone Hall: Fortescue: “My good Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat – I am glad that you were able to come here at short notice. Inspector Destrale unfortunately thought that the police could do nothing in this case. So I put my hopes on you.” Sholmes: “Rightfully so. Now, what exactly has happened?” Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly, in short, I had it, but when I came home, it was gone and I am very sure that it wasn’t me.” Dr. Sonwat (to himself): “I have heard that kind of talk before…” Sholmes (nodding to Dr. Sonwat): “Lord Fortescue, could you be a bit more precise?” Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly. I have bought a precious diamond which I wanted to give to my wife as a birthday present. When I came home yesterday, I put the box with the diamond on this table over here and then left to the city.” Sholmes: “And when you came home the box was gone?” Fortescue: “Exactly. How did you know?” Sholmes: “And then the butler said something very strange?” Dr. Sonwat (to himself): “I have heard that kind of talk before…” Fortescue: “Exactly. How did you know?” Sholmes: “It is my job to know these things.” Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly.” Sholmes: “Can we have a brief chat with your butler.” Fortescue: “Certainly, certainly. I’ll call him.” (The butler enters) Sholmes: “Ah, of course, Bauwn Shauwn , I mean, Bean Sean. Now, please tell us, what you have sean, I mean, seen. Tell us exactly what happened to the box that Lord Fortescue had placed here.” Bean Sean: “Yes, Sir. But that was very simple and straightforward.” (The butler describes in great detail what he had witnessed.) Bean Sean: “The box was on the red table over there. The master had left but just a few minutes later, he returned, while I was dusting the room.” Sholmes: “Did Lord Fortescue say anything?” Bean Sean: “No, he just gave me a nod as if to appreciate my work. Then he took the box and left again.” Fortescue: “I most certainly did not!” Dr. Sonwat (to the butler): “Did you know what was in the box?” Bean Sean: “Of course not. I do not spy onto my master.” Fortescue: “What, for heaven’s sake has happened here?” Sholmes: “This is what I will soon find out!” (to be continued) This episode's hidden song reference: The storyline so far: (The Adventure of the Horse Race Money) Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 (you are here) Chapter 5

Fine scene!

Fine, fine. You are quite productive these days

Quite tasteful!

Right, I forgot the squirrels that I used so often in the last storyline...

@Captain Braunsfeld has brought the detective story to the pirates! The mysteries and crimes that his familiar-sounding hero "Herlock Sholmes" has to solve can be found in the LEGO Pirates Forum. Corrington's famous detective is, of course, being accompanied by trustworthy Dr. Sonwat in "The Adventure of the Horse Race Money".

Sorry, I did not see this earlier. And you!

Welcome! I did not see this when you posted it initially. Your shipwreck island is far better than my version!

Where are all these characters coming from? That makes me happy Well, well, so many possibilities...

Chapter 3: Another afternoon in Quaker Street 9 ¾. - see previous chapter. Dr. Sonwat enters Herlock Sholmes‘ living room: “Ah, I see you have solved the mystery of the vanished golden dragon.” Sholmes: “Yepp.” Dr. Sonwat: “Let’s talk about Lord Rushinthought’s case.” Sholmes: “Fine. My dear Sonwat we have the very detailed, almost graphical description that the butler gave. Did you notice that Rushinthought was wearing different trousers and boots when he came to pick up the money?” Dr. Sonwat: “I must admit that I did not notice that.” Sholmes: "And what do you think?" Dr. Sonwat: "Lord Rushinthought must have changed his trousers while being away from home." Sholmes: "Only to change them again after taking the money? Then the other trousers must be somewhere around." Dr. Sonwat: "That is indeed a mystery. Which we need to solve." Sholmes: “I conclude that we have to visit Lord Rushinthought’s home again. And search the surroundings.” (Later at the back of Rushinthought’s home) Sholmes: “What do we have here?” Dr. Sonwat: “A dustbin. Or a trash can, if you are from one of Corrington’s colonies.” Sholmes: “And there is something special in it... Wait for it!” Sholmes (pulls something red out of the dustbin): “Well, not exactly trousers, but this looks a lot like Rushinthought’s uniform jacket.” Dr. Sonwat: “But this must be a copy as we have seen him wearing his.” Sholmes: “Precisely.” Sholmes: “Does Rushinthought have a twin brother?” Dr. Sonwat: “Not that I know of.” Sholmes: “Then someone is impersonating Lord Rushinthought!” Dr. Sonwat: “But who? And how?” Sholmes: “This is what I will soon find out!” (to be continued) The storyline so far: (The Adventure of the Horse Race Money) Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 (you are here) Chapter 4

Fine miniature! I like the use of the epaulettes-piece together with the other yellow pieces.

Two builds in one post. Excellent stuff. I very much like the idea of a field chef. And porcelain is never wrong on a battlefield.
