Captain Braunsfeld

Fine - I am getting hungry !

More than neat! Excellent ship!

Fine idea - and I like what you did with those blue flags!

Thanks. Even the longest story will reach an end at some point. I think there's three more parts to go. Well, he is not really asleep. He is "bricked". The status has taken up a high number of bricks, actually. I was starting to miss some grey pieces afterwards... Thanks. This was a MOC that was not so much disputed in the family. A pleasure! There will be a bit more of islanders in the next chapter of the story.

Monkey Island | Captain Braunsfeld | Eslandola

After a good, healthy swim, William Oswald Brickinson reached the island: The mysterious island consisted of rocks – and strange spewing statues! While Brickinson stood still in amazement – looking at the spewing statue – he did not notice that he was not alone. Some islanders had been watching him for a while. But that was not the only shock for Brickinson: Right there behind the islanders rose the mighty statue of a monkey. The monkey's head was carrying a crown – and the left hand was holding a stone banana – or was it a long rock or a fossilized spear? Had the islanders built this massive statue? It was bigger than anything Brickinson had seen in all of Eslandola. It turned out that the islanders spoke the Eslandolean tongue reasonably well to allow for a conversation. Brickinson was introduced to the chief of the tribe, a guy called Toktawhoo. They sat down at the feet of the monkey statue and Brickinson told Toktawhoo what had recently happened to him. Toktawhoo was understanding and emphatic. A young island girl came and offered Brickinson a drink. He accepted gladly, being thirsty after his sea adventure. The drink was strong and strange. Somebody spoke and Brickinson fell into a dream. He felt like Brickinson in the Sky with Diamonds... .... and in his dream he started to see strange things... ... as if the true nature of the world was revealed to him .... ... and then: [First Speaker] I think he should be able to hear us now. [Second Speaker] Yes, hear - and understand. [First Speaker] Good. Listen, Colonel Brickinson. We made you perform many tasks for us, most of them quite dangerous. You have risked your life - and you have enabled us to achieve our goal. What was the total again? [Second Speaker] 23 pirate ships, 3 hidden islands and 2 pirate fortresses, [First Speaker] Not bad at all. Colonel, your service will not go without recognition. [First Speaker] So, please accept our gift as a compensation. Your good name in Pontelli has been restored. The dream seemed to come to an end. Strange colours and voices vanished. And when Brickinson awoke, he could not quite remember what he had dreamt, but inside he felt a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of happiness. He only had a vague sensation that something weird had happened. And he was holding two coloured glass pieces in his hands. Maybe something else had changed too. It felt like it was time to go home. Some more pictures of Monkey Island: I tried to build this as a reference to the classic islander sets. Albeit with some new elements: Here is the Simian-Plan storyline: 1 MRCA Result April & May: Sunk and Taken by Pirates 2 Has Brickinson gone mad? 3 The End of a Pirate 4 Visiting a Pirate Island 5 A Dream Within A Dream 6 Pirate Hunter King Archibald 7 Woe is me! 8 The Black Moustache and his Green Flying Dutchman 9 ... but I have signed the contract .... 10 Now, what have we got here ... 11 The Great Escape 12 Please don't dive .... 13 The Brickinson Case 14 Island in the Sun 15 The Rescue Mission Happy to see that Eurobricks is kind of running again. I had to pause for a week or so as I feared I would not get this picture-heavy chapter posted. Thanks for watching! C&C welcome!

Thanks, Gentlemen. I should have changed the title to "Eslandolean Prefab Houses"... And given the high demand, I should set up a factory in Pontelli!

Great build - I love the whitewashing!

Brilliant story! Great idea!

Matters of personal taste, obviously

There was a strange cave by the sea. A blue light shone... ... and a blue cookie monster appeared coming out of the cave. Then the light changed to grey: ... and a grey cookie monster emerged - just before the light changed again: to green: And there on the beach was a colourful family of cookie monsters: (I was toying with my new, compatible light bricks)

We build this city | Captain Braunsfeld | Eslandola

A residence in Fuerte Unido.

Come to Isla de Victoria, bone-weary traveller and find peaceful days! As in every new settlement, the need for more residences is always a challenge. But wait: With the aid of Eslandolean PreFab Houses, everyone can live as happily und luxuriously as in Pontelli: At the moment, all new residences are given to military personnel only, but that will surely change over time. This was Eslandolean News, Fuerte Unido. C&C welcome!

Fine build - and interesting development!

Great mill. Good idea. Something to copy...

Fine crews you've got there. And the strangest ship I have ever seen!!

They all like the purple colours. And I was going to complain about them. Can't do this now. They will all hate me Should I say that I feel a third mast is missing? They will all hate me. But apart from that it looks quite modern and well shaped. I'll probably say nothing at all. Or at least not much. Or just a little bit like "interesting". But wait, that is taken as offense in the Americas... So what to do?

Great action and a very fine ship!

You have staged the perfect sea battle. Excellent! ... and your ships are sooo beautiful....

Wow - looks huge!

Fine build, quite colourful!

Fine build - I also fear for the parrot!

If they are lumberjacks then they're ok. They sleep all night and they work all day.

A perfect piece of work - yet the namegiving falls short. "Triton" (French) = "Molch" (German) = some sort of frog (English). You might want to argue that it is the name of some godlike entity - but honestly, which tribe would name their deities after frogs? SCNR, my friend And the ship really is fantastic. I want to have that in real bricks.
