Captain Braunsfeld

Fine adventure of Jan Schwarzbart! Good to see the Tenotclaxcans appear. I am also happy to see how well Eslandola has worked out. I never thought we'd be able to present so many fine green soldiers .... divided in multiple trade companies ... well there was one guy who was keen on having his own trade company Everyone is still free to join the EWTC! (ETWC? ECTW?)

Very good, that was fun! Excellent use of a raised baseplate by the way - that is my favorite picture!

The golden pyramid is fine, but I like the pathfinding scene the most. Very well done!

Fine story! Eslandola Jones go!

"rabbit trade"? seems like that's the way to do it

The pyramid is excellent!

I am not sure. There was no voting thread for Cat A and B - or was there?

I am hoping that there will be no extension. I've been struggling to keep all the deadlines for BoBS CH V and GoH CH V ....

The building is exquisite!

Thanks - well, I guess everyone gets hungry from time to time. Thank you Correctly observed! I don't think this is body armour - these monkeys seem to belong to a higher class of monkeys... Yes, I still like your council hall! Praise goes to Captain Wolf! Could be

The Hall of Eslandola is the place to be. Important things are being debated and discussed. Strange things happen after the humans have left.. C&C welcome - and pictures are on flickr too.

Thanks that you like my strange desert castle

My pleasure Seems that I am able to learn a free things Thanks. And my wife has painted the hats. could be that the monkeys have a plan again...

No pressure. Take your time. And the set is certainly not one of the cheapest.... In fact out feels a like overpriced

ok - since when am I known for building realistic ships? Thank you for the clarification!

Thanks - there are going to be no other parts. Maybe and maybe not... Thanks! I imagine the text to be read by John Cleese... Thank you

Easy Come, Easy Go | Captain Braunsfeld | Eslandola

For Eslandola: Cat E: Easy Come, Easy Go

Those "Vaiana" bricks.

[to be read aloud and rapidly - like a sports commentator] And here we are again for tonights final round of GoT - that famous "Game of Treasure", our treasure hunt. Well, and there they go on the left, the brave islanders, digging for the treasure, handing over the gold bars... They are working away quickly - but wait, what is that? A Marderian soldier is stealing the gold! They are forcing the natives to work for them! My goodness, there is no end to Marderian evilness. Passing the ingot to the next Marderian player, moving midfield. Steady. And the gold is gone! This came quite unexpectedly for Mardier - pirate Henry was taking a shot here. Excellent move for the pirates. The pirates now in the lead! But no - Mardier is back and more evil than ever. The pirates have lost the gold and it all goes to Mardier again. We all know the Marderian motto: "No need to be nice on the way up 'cos we're not going down" This is exciting, it is the second half in this final game and Mardier has got the gold. Which means Mardier is not broke and will continue in the GoT league in the upcoming season. Well they will surely give Eslandola, Oleon and Corrington a hard time... But again "no" - Mardier is hit from behind by another pirate. And Mardier is going down after a wonderful "thud". I heard a whisper "for Brickwall" - I suspect this guy is one of Brickwall Jones' nephews. And here we are - the pirates are back in the game. Excellent thudding there from Captain Redbeard. The higher they come, the hardier they fall in Mardier. What is this? There must be some disagreement within the pirate team? One of them is pretty tied up at the moment. Has he been double crossed by one of his red-bearded mates? No, Eslandola is back and they are striking with a vengeance! They are sweeping the ground from pirates and they have taken the gold! The Eslandolean flag is waving all over the place. And the crowd is cheering! What a great match, tonight. Certainly no disappointment for the international spectators. And on the right I can see Colonel Brickinson. Brickinson is leading his team to victory. Nobody expected the Eslandolean army. They have been using their chief weapon: surprise. Surprise and cleverness. And I wonder where they got the information that brought them here to this secret place just in time for the final moments of the game. The ingots are piling up for Eslandola. So the score is Mardier: 0, Eslandola: 542! Aaaaaaaaand the game is over! A big win for Brickinson's team tonight - and they are celebrating! The champagne is flowing as the gold is being shipped to Pontelli. What a night for Eslandola. That is it for Mardier. They are broke and won't be able to afford the license for the next season. I can see the debt collectors gathering at the side of the field and the first vultures have started to circle in ...

Thank you. More story? Actually I feel very uncomfortable with the storyline that was mandated for this challenge and I find myself unable to contribute.

I usually do my challenge entries in a "one MOC tells all" way - if I had to add a variation of the MOC to depict the scene 5 seconds later, you'd see the blue sea and a tail from a diving (free) tuna...

Classic! (I don't have those new pieces...)

Quite nice indeed, except perhaps for that pink door - but that is most likely linked to the exquisite interior

why would a ship with stone towers be afraid of strong winds? And, yes, the ship could be slightly longer. I do not have the hull pieces at this point in time... And there will be more about the red microship. Thanks - yes, fun to play with. Captain Cookie is delighted.. I mean happy. Thank you. Good that there is nothing like hightened expectations.... and no pressure on my side That go me slightly confused... I thought I had used the right proverb. I guess that saying is used differently in Greece... Please go ahead! I'd be interested to see that sistership! Thank you - and with your eye for good ship design you have spotted the weakness in length. As mentioned above - right now I don't have the hull pieces (and it doesn't look to good to improvise with brown slopes) The whole ship is a bit over the top (and too top-heavy) but that is just right for Captain Cookie!
