Captain Braunsfeld

The frigates that protected the Great Golden Fleet were enganged in fierce battle against pirates! But it soon turned out that the pirates were no match against the well-trained Eslandolean sailors. The long months of exercise had paid off - and the "Heart of Eslandola" and the "Another Spirit of Eslandola" were able to fire their broadsides much faster than the despicable villains (who actually only managed single fire). Both Eslandolean frigates concentrated their fire on the "How shall I name this?" (Christianing of pirate vessels is often an embarrassing affair..) The "How shall I name this?" lost her top mast and caught fire. Within minutes she was sunk. The other pirate ("What am I supposed to say after I have thrown the bottle?") - having also taken severe hits - turned and fled. The Great Golden Fleet was saved! A detail shot of the "How shall I name this?" And here is the victorious "Heart of Eslandola" - firing: C&C welcome

At the pier of Pontelli: Bernhard Bunsen has been charged to share the information about the Eslandolean treasure fleet with Major Woward Holowitz... Bunsen: "Hey, Major Holowitz, I've got something important to tell you!" Major Woward Holowitz: "WHAT? SPEAK UP SON, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Bunsen: "Curses. All this freight is blocking my way.." (louder) "We are sending the treasure fleet." Major Woward Holowitz:"WE ARE SENDING THE WHAT?" Bunsen: "WE ARE SENDING THE TREASURE FLEET FROM NELISA TO TERRELI!" Major Woward Holowitz: "WE ARE SENDING THE TREASURE FLEET FROM NELISA TO TERRELI?" Bunsen: "YES!" Bunsen: "BUT THAT IS A SECRET!" Major Woward Holowitz: "UNDERSTOOD! SO KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT, SON!" C&C Welcome.

Fine build - welcome to David!

The courtroom in Pontelli was filled to the last place. Judge Enrico Fineman opened the hearing: "Eslandola versus Colonel William Oswald Brickinson". "I understand that Brickinson will be defended by the Mayor of Pontelli, Alberto da Pontelli". Judge: "Ah, I see you have brought your pet." Alberto & George: (both nodd) Judge: "Attorney van Dyke, read the charges". van Dyke: (clears his throat) "Well, Colonel Brickinson has flown a monkey flag on one of our fortresses." "Then he has - in total - sunk 12 pirate ships, has taken or blown up 7 pirate islands and fortresses and freed 14 hostages that had been captured by pirates." (after a pause and applause from the audience) "Wow, that was pretty impressive. That Colonel has served Eslandola well." Major Mistaek jumped up in rage. "You must not forget that the man is hopping mad. He has flown a monkey flag in one of your fortresses." Alberto: "When excactly was that?" Mistaek: "On the first of April, 616" (Laughter in the audience) Alberto: "Well, than this is settled." Mistaek: (to the audience) "But you must plead guilty!" At this very moment George da Pontelli leapt up and teared at Mistaek's impressive beard .... ... which came off quite easily - revealing the well-known face of the evil pirate Gisberth! Brickinson's female crew member reacted immediately, drew her saber and rushed towards Gisberth. Everyone in the audience jumped to their feet. Gisberth turned to follow George... ... who found a safe place ... .... Gisberth was too slow in the end. "But they have captured my daughter" the Judge exclaimed. "We will surely find and rescue your daughter, your honour." Judge Enrico Fineman: "Case dismissed." Morale: If you follow the monkey you will lose your head. (but where is Brickinson?) [First Speaker]: You need to practice your pistol skills. [second Speaker]: Yes, I am sorry. But all is well that ends well. [First Speaker]: This has not ended yet.

Quite right - this is a scandalous scene

Quite unique! (Why have they all mentioned that already?)

Good idea to use the 32x32 space!

Great scenes - great action!

A fine one! (And it could be pirates dancing..)

Classic!

Thanks - now we have found out that Brickinson is luckily able to swim This is all in a day's work for a hero I'm working on it! Well, he is drinking banana wine as he is obviously not aware of what had happened in the pictures shown before. Otherwise he would have called for banana rum!

Me too Thanks - be careful: the silver monkey does not want to be seen

Thanks a lot - and here's your next twist to the story

Thanks - more twists to come!

When we saw our hero last time he was escaping from a pirate prison island on the back of a shark. Brickinson had the strange feeling that the shark was going deeper... "Hey, hey, don't do that, my friend - please don't dive!" .. the shark did not listen - it must have been a deaf shark ... Brickinson (humming to himself): "It's getting better all the time... couldn't get much worse..." Meanwhile back in Pontelli an important messenger arrives at the courthouse. "Your Honour - Let me introduce myself: I am Major Mystaek and I have come directly from Viceroy Renato Filamento. We have evidence that Colonel Brickinson has misappropriated Eslandolan military equipment and forces." Judge Enrico Fineman: "Now... what's that supposed to mean? Colonel Brickinson is a respected citizen of Pontelli!" Major Mistaek: "Just read this and you will find it necessary to launch court action!" Judge Enrico Fineman (reading, shocked): "Oh dear, oh dear. If that is true I will start the trial at once - even in the absence of the accused." Major Mistaek (smiling). [First Speaker] (to himself) : This banana wine is excellent! 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 .... C&C and correction of the legal terms welcome

Excellent creation!

understood! Feel free to join! And the silver monkey: is part of the new ninjago sets. But you have to replace the orange arms with decent silver ones (coming from some Hobbit-set).

Excellent harbour scene!

A fine army you have got there.

Well, that seems to have been worth the effort Thanks ... well, what else would you be saying? The hat would be too small for that I'll try I agree The sky background... ok.... and the rest? Thank you, sir

Fine scene!

Where was I with that strange story? Ah, right. The evil pirate Gisberth had captured Colonel Brickinson - who had turned out the be "The Black Moustache". Brickinson was imprisoned by the pirates, awaiting his fate. .... and now I need a lot of pictures to tell the story of "The Great Escape" ... Brickinson had found some strange drawing on the prison wall. About some way to move the bed he was lying on. It seemed like complete nonsense to him. While Brickinson was about to fall asleep in his prison cell... ... Gisberth was on the watch... When Brickinson awoke from his refreshing slumber, he found the pirates unconscious or missing... The key to the cells was lying on the floor and all the doors were open. It was all very strange. Brickinson rushed outside looking for the red boat but it was gone. Instead a rather large shark was mooring by the pier. The shark looked at Brickinson and Brickinson stared back. "This is madness" he thought, approaching the shark. The shark displayed no signs of hostility and so the absurd idea that had come up in Brickinson's mind manifested itself and called for action. So he boarded the shark. "Oh my goodness, no-one is ever going to believe this! I will have to tell everybody that I escaped by making a raft out of sea turtles!" "What a great escape!" [First Speaker] How was your trip? [second Speaker] Successful. [First Speaker] Good. Have you been spotted? [second Speaker] No-one who has seen me is still alive. [First Speaker] Do we know where Brickinson is heading? [second Speaker] We can only guess. 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 C&C welcome! (That was a lot of work...)

I love those cliffhangers!

Thanks - I hope so
