Mark of Falworth - one of my heroes!! Looks great - small but elegant. Where's the man in the tub that is usually found floating in your dioramas?
-
This is very good. Great job on custom rigging and sails. I really should try one of these brigs one day ... Excellent!
-
Action well covered, good detail work on the minifigs - and a decent rock to start with. I like it!
-
Great stuff. You are taking sabre island into the next century (or millenium). So many ideas - I do not know where to start to copy And Kolonialbeamter is right!
-
Very good - I like the approach of having a rock with three differently coloured segments. The battle scene is also exciting!
-
absolutely cool - great army! You managed to not only amass foot soldiers but also to pay attention to all the different officers. Brick on!
-
Hi there, there is probably a FAQ or so around this forum somewhere. Anyway: The key idea is to upload the fotos in another place (like brickshelf or flickr) and to link to those pictures (using the "image" icon on the toolbar). Maybe this helps a bit.

It's a torso - an old version of the lego fireman. The other ones have been made with decals
-
That's how it must be done! My compliments - excellent work! Rigging and sails are just awesome (would you post a tutorial?)!

New fort + Islanders + pirate ship display
Captain Braunsfeld replied to Captain Hannibal Joost's topic in Pirate MOCs
Bonjour Captain Joost, Matthias is right: good work deserves more than two comments! So, here we go. I looked at your pictures on flickr and they are great! The Maoi is perfectly fine (I like this stuff!). Great work on the rocks too and - last not least - using a non-90-degree approach for the fort. Well done! Brick on! -
MOC: WIP Amsterdam Canal Houses Front
Captain Braunsfeld replied to Loves Houses's topic in LEGO Town
Hello LovesHouses, the houses are great. I would like to use them for my harbour scene. If you take a look now (its in the pirate section), you will find yourself in the second part of a comic of mine. Would be great if you could take a look! -
Ahoy, Behemoth. Sorry, I cannot take credit for the crane. It's from a book by Megan Rothrock (Lego Adventure Book), which she luckily signed when she was at a LEGO show in Cologne. (and I am a Purist MOCer myself ) And now for something completely different: I was able to add the final pages to the comic presented before. Drumroll: The VISIT II: (again with a strong focus on historical correctness) Ok, enough of this - I need to work on the harbour and its buildings. Bye!
-
a new ship is on the way ... once the bricks arrive...
-
Fantastic - and sooo funny. I like the approach for the noses (simple and effective).
-
Excellent first post! The rocks are good (they rock ... ), I was able to find monkeys (always good), and - more seriously - some new and interesting ideas for plants. Very good!
-
Well, I probably don't know myself There is one monkey on the beach who appears several times (and gets painted and Redblade plays with it). One is on the right roof of the palace.
-
Nice. I like the giant face statue - is there a picture where one can see it directly from the front? Lots of parrots!!

MOC: HMS Poseidon 2.0 (probably a Galleon)
Captain Braunsfeld replied to Captain Braunsfeld's topic in Pirate MOCs
I know, I know. Ships with tiles on deck look great and have more realisticness. But my ships need to be played with - and with tiles with minifigs keep falling down... I accept. Well. given that I would like to combine any new ship with the existing old ones, I probably cannot go for a 44 gun ship. It would turn out too big in comparison (and my harbour is too small ) So what I can do is to try and capture the "feel" of it. What I might try one day is to make a decent model of a small ship (brig?). Some guys here in the forum have done this in an excellent way. -
Amazing, awesome, great! And excellent pictures! What a great job. A perfect example of what is possible with these little bricks

164A Ahoy, people have been asking my: Why do you post pirate houses, harbours and comics? Where are the ships? Well, here is one, it is an update: Captain Braunsfeld proudly presents: The HMS Poseidon (2.0.). And it is probably a galleon. Why am I saying this? Well, usually when I try to classify one of my ships in this forum, people go and say, well, Captain, it is all very nice but for a real paddle wheel steamer you need to be more accurate on the Mississippi underneath, etc. And then I get worried. Is my model really a ship of the line 3rd rate or rather a full rigged brig? Honestly, I don't know about this stuff very well. I build lego models to play with... The (currently small) crew consists of decent, trustworthy men: to handle the custom cannons/carronades. And the crew is, of course, fearlesss: And finally, the overall approach is modular. This is where the captain returns to his bottles of rum: err, I mean, where he heroically plans for the next battle. Some storage room is found practically everywhere: and the capstan is working!!!! More storage room: You can also remove the floor of the captain's cabin to store even more stuff: Ok, so here she goes - the HMS Poseidon (2.0) Enjoy the summer!
-
Looks fantastic so far - a ship with a custom hull and with your level of quality will surely take its time. When do you think you will be finished? And - maybe I missed some part of the dialog so far - what is the reason for the name "Matterhorn"? Best of luck for the completion of this great model!
-
Ahoy, thanks to the inspiration given by Sebeus I. I am happy to present a comic related to this harbour scene. The comic is called "The Visit". I hope you enjoy it!
-
Great custom cannon design - and the ship will be beautiful too! More pics please!
-
A comic! And I am part of it! Many thanks for letting me join the maiden voyage. I could have done with more olives on the pizza, though ... But ... alas ... where is the monkey?
-
Ah! This is good. Nice interior and a lively scene. Good use of minifigs - more of that!
