    The East Wind Trading Company has invested money and effort to build and equip a pirate hunting ship: The King Archibald. Captain John Maynard is quite proud of his ship and his crew. I will license this as an Armed Sloop - Class 2 A. And Colonel Brickinson wants the ship to be dedicated to fight the pirate threat. So (as I am not very apt at the MRCA details) I will hand this ship to any Eslandolean volunteer to handle it in the MRCA. Actually, I have to admit that this is not my ship design. I have tried to build my version of the great ship created by -DoNe- It looks great, but it is also very fragile...

    Thanks, I'm trying! Thank you! I will show the ship again in a later post. And, yes: this is based on Forbidden Island and intended to resemble it. Yepp, to be "classic" this had to be "studdy". That could well be the moral. But usually the moral is: Don't try this at home! Thank you, Sir! You got it. And you find those pictures amusing? What I built but what does not appear on the pictures are two treasure chests behind the prison cell. They disappear together with the Black Moustache - so it is "pillage the pirate village"

    Thank you. As it stands, I currently do have more tan bricks than yellow bricks.... times are a-changing... I had hoped to achieve about that! Not to forget the suspension bridges. They used to be around quite a lot and then they just disappeared - and I always found it difficult to re-include them in a set. But "Forbidden Island" just had to have them and so there are now two of them! About the "classic monkey": I am hoping for "new monkeys". They have done a new mould for ninjago (and it is called something like Monkey 2 when you order replacement parts) and their monkey is silver and orange - but I am hoping for a decent brown ape.

    Impressive project. Keep going!

    The idea is fine .... yet, the Elves ship....

    Well that surely sets a standard for what one has to do about a Mitgardian town. I've seen some elements as they were ready - but to have this beautiful and detailed city is something else altogether. Just great ! I like the ice fishing (to mention one of the details) and I have found several sigfigs - so I hope that the guy with the horns on the helmet is my Major Marron

    Last night Queen Beatrice of Oleon had a series of strange dreams: Her first dream took her to the Kingdom of Corrington ... Queen Annetta was addressed by a strange ambassador ... .. unfortunately the conversation took place in Corringtonish. Startled by this strange dreamy vision, Queen Beatrice turned in her bed and fell into a second dream: She found herself in Eslandola, in King Fernando-Augusto VII's study. ... everything seemed normal, but something was different... Yet she could not quite point her finger at it. (Well, you hardly point when you are asleep...) Again she turned in her sleep - and entered the third dream: This was Oleon. The South Gate of the Palace. There were Philip I and the Lord Chancellor - and she saw the strange ambassador again. Suddenly she was awake, in her bed, realising that it was already late in the morning. "Thank to the Gods", she sighed, "it was only a dream." She rose to enter the gardens. Just like in her dream she found her husband and the Lord Chancellor at the South Gate. "Philip", she called out, "I had the most strangest dreams." Philip I and the Lord Chancellor turned towards her. "Tell me, my Dear", said Philip. "We were just talking about the Brick Seas Purge of 616." C&C Welcome

    I thought it was time to revive something classical: Forbidden Island So I made my own - modernized and extended - version, based on the original base plate and including many original elements. And so this MOC brings us back to the days when water was plain blue and plane - and sand was yellow (there was no tan / dark tan). Monkeys were there, of course. ... and a pirate captain with his crew. Thanks for watching - C&C welcome!

    Old Redbeard McDuff was sceptical: This mysterious new pirate who named himself "The Black Moustache" was visiting him, even offering to bring presents. Yet, still, when he saw Moustache's crew unloading a golden treasure chest he was determined not to trust the new pirate on the block. There was something strange about the crew but he could not put a finger on it. They sure looked like pirates. And they said they wanted to bring a treasure in exchange for information. That is why they came to White Skull Island. "Arrr. Hi there" said the Black Moustache. "We brought you something, Redbeard McDuff" "... first of all I'll give you this well-trained parrot." "Polly", the parrot exclaimed. "Jolly good", McDuff replied, thinking: And now I will hand you this cup of poisoned wine... Then things happened quite quickly. Ugly things, rather not shown here... (if you don't like scenes of violence please stop reading here.) The Black Moustache's gang fought in perfect unity, almost as if they were elite troops in disguise. "... and I thought it was my trap..." was the last thing that went through McDuff's mind. When the Black Moustache left the island, there was no-one left alive. [second Speaker] White skull island has been taken. [First Speaker] Good. Any casualties? [second Speaker] Not on our side. But I fear that rumours will start to spread. The operation was not as clean as the "Three skull trap". [First Speaker] Rumours are intended to spread! But wait, let us make the next operation look more like an accident again. The story is getting darker and my family has protested and complained about the pictures... So, most of the pictures are not here but in the corresponding album on flickr. C&C welcome!

    Looks decent, this could be great (if you have the bricks to keep it up)
  11. Captain Braunsfeld
    Thanks - well the El Centurion is two and a half years old. It might resurface here in renewed form. Well, I built the micro ship twice. And then I tried to depict the explosion of the second while keeping the parts that would "fly around". Honest pirate? There is no such thing! And did you mention the micro sunset? Am I the first one to do a micro sunset?
  12. Captain Braunsfeld
    Great golden guard! Do we all need to build our own private armies now? The only thing: why fleshies???
  13. Captain Braunsfeld
    Perfect, you found nailed it!
  14. Captain Braunsfeld
    Excellent narrative and fine bar!
  15. Captain Braunsfeld
    A brilliant showcase of dark grey on the outside, but wait, this has fantastic interiors too and many a detail to be inspired by
  16. Captain Braunsfeld
    What can I say? Do we have synonyms for "perfect"?
  17. Captain Braunsfeld
    Great showcase. And you seem to have a decent minifig collection there
  18. Captain Braunsfeld
    Great creation. The gypsies come to life.
  19. Captain Braunsfeld
    Great job, especially as we all know that building round objects is not really supported by our beloved bricks
  20. Captain Braunsfeld
    What a great ship for Eslandola! Long live our mighty fleet. Superb job on masts and sails
  21. Captain Braunsfeld
    Excellent creation, very cleverly designed, great details included. A blue future lies ahead of you!

      The wrath of poo throwing, banana eating monkeys is riveting.

    There is ... see below The pirate is dead. Why does everyone want to see his ship? It is an old one called El Centurion.
  24. Captain Braunsfeld
    I did not know we had such fine headquarters
  25. Captain Braunsfeld
    It was a sunny evening. The evil pirate captain was reflecting about his latest prey. Kablamm! Yes, it had been easier to capture the Banana Boat.... Second Speaker: We are making progress.
