    [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - Prelude] [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 1st Chapter] The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 2nd Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 3rd Chapter Captain Cookie continued: And so in the days that followed Corrington troops were guarding towns and noblemen. But despite all of their efforts, our highwayman was unstoppable. And he found something in the attic of a house. "Gold?" Lady de Summer asked. "No, of course not. Another model of a ship." ,,, and then he vanished into the night. I cannot believe that Corrington did nothing about this. Oh, Mylady, they did. And they had to. A lawyer in a bad mood appeared at Colonel Greybeards office. Colonel Greybeard: Hello, old chum, fine fellow, come in, come in. Who are ye? Lawyer: I am a certified lawyer of the high-esteemed Frank, Frank, Frank, Frank and Wrzygrislovsky. Colonel Greybeard: Jolly good, old chum. And which one of them is you? Lawyer: I am Wrzygrislovsky. But that is beside the point. My client demands that this robber be caught and punished. Colonel Greybeard: Good Golly, Miss Molly. Yes, yes, old pal, we're working on it. Horses for courses. Righty right. Never look a gift apple in the mouth. Lawyer: My client is not under the impression that your men are investing the required effort. Colonel Greybeard: Blimey. Terribly sorry, my friend, rest assured we are doing the best we can. Mouse and man. Lawyer: Then that may not be enough. Double your efforts, or you will face the consequences. [leaves] Colonel Greybeard (mutters to himself): Shiver me timbers... I'll send my best men... again. [C&C welcome]

    Fine ship and explosion! A bit large though, as a set. Could you make it smaller?
  3. Captain Braunsfeld
    Now that is what I call a great field!

    You spotted a highwayman in this scene? Where? Thanks. I thought I would have to apply more techniques to fight the GWS, but in the end I could/should have built it based on simple 4x2 yellow bricks. Would have worked in the same way. I have done a wheat field and and oat field by focussing on the individual plants. It was time for a new approach. Tiles? To me the studs represent some of the wheat thingies. Thank you! I agree Let's all go back to the classic way of building!! Thanks - well, you will have to wait and read on!

    [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - Prelude] [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 1st Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 2nd Chapter Captain Cookie continued: "So, of course, the Corrington troops were alarmed and set out to catch the highwayman." "Did they succeed", Lady De Summer asked. "Initially very much so. They were able to track him down and chase him into a wheat field..." Sergeant Salt and his men were confident. They would find that evil robbing highwayman. The field was practically surrounded, there was not escape. Sergeant Salt ordered his men to comb through the field. Farmer Giles, however, was furious. He had not seen such outrageous vandalism in his whole life! The farmer cursed the soldiers and maybe this was the reason why they did not catch the highwayman. The highwayman seemed to have disappeared, vanished into thin air. The soldiers searched and searched until nightfall and then returned to their barracks ...

    That is so brilliant -the helmets, the sandboard, the ostrich...

    Pretty clever, this build. I like all the different minifig scenes - and the notion that we should eat and laugh
  8. Captain Braunsfeld
    This makes me hungry again - nice kitchen!

    Thanks - well, we know little of Lady April. Let's see what is in store. Lady Asma is not planning to take over colonial duties. She seems to be focussing on Pontelli. The cat? Well, sometimes characters turn to cats - you might get the reference. So does she That man in the background is probably just looking quite similar to Governor Guilder. The man seems to be unharmed. We'll see

    I do not want to disillusion you, but that carriage is basically Set 41053 - Cinderella's carriage....

    The tension was rising in the court room of Pontelli. Judge Enrico Fineman was under stress. He had not expected a trial against the Mayor of Pontelli, Alberto da Pontelli. The prosecutress, Lady Asma April, was just closing her plea: "This monkey business that is going on is just unbelievable. This man is a member of the Eslandolean Parliamant - and what is the first thing he does? He brings his monkey to the Hall of Eslandola! What a disgrace! I ask you: Does this man have no honour in himself? Does he think he can make a fool of Eslandola? That he can subject Pontelli to ridicule?" "Do you think that a man like Alberto should continue to be a member of the Parliament? I very much doubt so!" Alberto had never felt so bad in his whole life. Now this strange woman was after him, after he had done so much for Pontelli and Eslandola. Lady April had finished her plea. Judge Enrico Fineman cleared his throat to announce the verdict: "Alberto da Pontelli. The court wants you to retire as a member of the Eslandolean Parliament. Will you accept the verdict." "Yes, I will", Alberto replied quietly. "That is not enough", Lady April shouted, "he also has to step down from his position as Mayor!" Judge Fineman hesitated for a moment: "Alberto, will you also step down from your role as Mayor of Pontelli?" "Yes, I will", Alberto replied quietly. The Judge looked at Lady Asma: "But who will be the leader of our city?" "I will", Lady April coldly returned. "And I will make Pontelli proud again!" The Judge banged his gavel and the court room fell into an uneasy silence. C&C Welcome. To leadership: Please note change in the role of Mayor on Pontelli. This is now Lady Asma April.

    Fine build with excellent forced perspective. Tough luck for the governor, though...
  13. Captain Braunsfeld
    Times are tough in Oleon .... I am sure that brave Corrington troops will soon be swarming out to catch that robber And, yes, the carriages are probably too large for the poor horses. But there was no space for more horses - AND it is much easier to rob slow coaches! Tintin as inspiration? Never!
  14. Captain Braunsfeld
    Thanks. I have tried a more "classic" approach to water this time. The large wave could almost have been created in the 90s...
  15. Captain Braunsfeld
    Me too No, that does not make you sound like a Sea Rat. This story seems to reflect my desire to do something with pirates and scoundrels myself. Thank you, Bodi. Lady De Summer is wearing the Gouvernor's Daughter outfit of the last pirate series. And I can offer you a quantum of solace: The musketeer is not being robbed. The lady inside the coach is being robbed Thanks for the landscape praise - but the first two coaches are more or less standard... Thanks Good point. You probably have not seen him in the first picture as he is hiding behind bushes. In any case: The highwayman is in the possession of two good shoes... (Though he is probably more of a cunning character...) More pictures? I'll try. Here we go Now you can see the lady that is being robbed...

    Good idea to invest in pottery. Nice MOC.

    [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - Prelude] [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 1st Chapter "My dear Lady De Summer, there was a highwayman who was operating in Corrington." "Where exactly?" "On Cocovia - between King's Harbour and Quinnsville. He was robbing coaches." "Many coaches?" "Many coaches." "Usually Corrington travellers, but he was also robbing the occasional Oleon vacationist." "And what did he take from his victims?" "That was the interesting part. He never took money or lupines. It seemed that he was looking for something more interesing. Then one day..." "Stand and deliver! You move at your peril, for I have two pistols here." "Please, dear Sir, don't take our gold" "I do not want your gold" "Please, good man, do not take our lupines." "I am not interested in lupines". "Then... what do you want from us." "The ship." "What ship?" Lady De Summer asked. "A yellow model of the 8 Provinces." "Yellow? But your model is reddish." "Quite so, Mylady. You will understand soon. Let me go on with the story." [End of Chapter 1] C&C Welcome. (Original pictures can be found on flickr.)

    What if I just like your MOC and there is nothing to improve from my pov?
  19. Captain Braunsfeld
    I'll try to keep that in mind. Usually I do not want to be offensive or confrontating - at least I try to be
  20. Captain Braunsfeld
    1st place Mardier? Still: congratulations to the winners!
  21. Captain Braunsfeld
    Fine creation, sadly without interior
  22. Captain Braunsfeld
    Awesome wooden creation!
  23. Captain Braunsfeld
    The delegates looks great - and the MOC is pretty decent too. I just lost track of what is going on there but that is presumably my fault
  24. Captain Braunsfeld
    Great collaboration! I am most impressed by the pyramid!
  25. Captain Braunsfeld
    Great job with that bonfire!
