Oof! So many great figs that it really makes it hard to decide! 1 point 3. Gideon 1 point 9. LittleJohn 1 point 13. Ayrlego

The tulip madness is spreading! Always good to see I do have to say, I was rather expecting this to happen though:

I quite like this - great job giving all your micro-ships different and distinct ship types! I am curious about that bowsprit too - did you manage to attach that somehow, or is it just held in by the friction?

I don't recall ever having seen a pirate catamaran before, and now I'm wondering why! Lovely work, those sails are great (the stripes are perfect!), and the texture on the catamarans works really nice too. Add to that just the right amount of activity, the scene, and some awesome presentation and you've got yourself something special, mate! Great stuff!

I really like this - such a good job getting that obvious galleon feel with a micro-ship! The gunports and sails are great as well, and of course I approve of it flying those colors!

Agh, those sheep! That's brilliantly clever, and the rest of the build is really nice as well - I love the little details you went with, like those stone walls along the road - but those sheep are just ingenious

Yow, those are really some fantastic figs, especially the ones in the viceroy vig and the hand cannoneers! Awesome series of vigs and back-descriptions as well - the palm trees, bamboo, and other vegetation are great and do a good job filling out the vigs without overshadowing the principal figs; looking forward to seeing what comes of this!

This thing is soo massive - and so many minifigs! Fantastic presentation as well with that gif at the beginning of the post! Great job with the semi-circular shape too and all that brickbending, it really turned out stunning! The hanging red banners and that awning work really well too with the flaming torches, and the purple throughout the crowd makes it look so much more cohesive - and you finally got to use a ton of those tiles you got! Great work all around!

Excellent! Very nice little battery you've got there, and I love that cannon design, gorgeous! Gotta get some of those small wagon wheels someday! Great build, mate

Yes, the marquis! I had been missing him. He seems to be quite a rich marquis now after this! Love this continuation of the story, mate - and as I don't seem to have commented on your LTP before, those tulips really do make for a beautiful field, Captain!

Yes, congrats! And I don't think there'd be any trouble with you just using the licence on a full-size vessel instead of a microbuild if you'd like to ...but just so happens I may be able to offer you something better I may or may not have a half finished micro-ship lying on my desk that was meant for the Terraversa challenge and that I was hoping to licence for Captain Nordau with the free micro-ship prize for participation which now I have no way to licence ...so I'd be happy to buy your prize off of you for the price of a Class 3 ship and a half (300 DBs) which would leave you 100 left over after licencing your Class 3 and make me able to get Captain Nordau back on the seas again too if that sounds good to you! Go ahead and shoot me a PM if you want and we can talk over the details

You may have been right,

Here you go! And that's a good idea - I'll go ahead and link all the winning entries above!

Faction Flavours - Minichallenge RESULTS!! Without much ado let's get to the results! Congrats to all the entrants though - an excellent turn-out all around, and several categories were quite closely contested when it came down to judging the winners Categories: Corrington - winner, @lmcpicture Oleon - winner, @Ross Fisher Eslandola - winner, @Justsomebrix Sea Rats - winner, @NOD And the overall winning faction (with the highest average score altogether), the Sea Rats! Congratulations! The prize for the top scoring entry from each category is a new Class 3 ship licence (to be activated by a micro-build); and the Sea Rats, coming in with the highest average score overall, are additionally awarded a free Class 5 ship licence for the faction (activated by a micro-build). Great job all, and thanks to everybody who entered!

Thanks evan, appreciate the compliments! I've been wanting to crack out those huge rock pieces for a while and this seemed like a great opportunity! As to the roof, I've got a little tutorial of sorts here (as I've got asked that a lot )! Yep, it is quite parts intensive, The good news is that (unless you're crazy and want to do a complete interior too! ) the plates on the underside are completely invisible except maybe a few on the edge/gable, so a rainbow down there is perfectly fine! Thank you, and of course! Tulips are all the rage right now And yes, Captain Nordau will obviously be very happy to have all this information. We'll have to see what comes of it... Thanks Professor! I loved working with the wooden parts, especially those protruding beams, and as I said above, it was lots of fun getting to use those big rock-work pieces as well! Aw, glad you liked it! Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Cap! Thanks Ayrlego, yeah, I've been wanting to do a roof like this for a long time, but I don't have nearly enough tiles to do those and barely enough 1x2 plates in a decent color either, but these in dark blue have been begging to be used like this for a year or two now and just waiting for me to think up a way to attach them! Nope, not nets (don't have nearly enough of those either, sadly!) - they're actually just simple lines of plates varied up and down on the backside (yes, that's a terrible explanation - hence why I decided to take pics to explain, haha, check the spoiler above! ) And yes, love those yellow leaves! Hope Kai doesn't mind somebody borrrowing them a bit more in the future... Ooh, that sounds great - not familiar with the clone boars but looking forward to it! I've been wanting to do something with that pig rumor for a long time - gotta scrounge around and see how many pigs I can get together here! It's about time Port Wilks gets some love (from me in particular, I mean! )! Thanks Kai, I do love this color scheme! And yes, you're totally right about the blue - didn't notice how bad it was until I was posting them here and then I was too lazy to try to edit them Aw, thanks mate! I actually hadn't meant for the watermill to be nearly this big (I built it before any landscape to go with it) but was just going with my inspiration pic and it kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger! Really happy with how it turned out, and I really am flattered by your compliments but I really haven't built nearly enough buildings myself! - for some reason they seem to be the thing I build least overall (not including interiors, now that I do a lot of). I'm not sure why, but I really should do them more often and round myself out as a builder a bit more! And yes I love that carriage (a slightly modified version of the PoTC one) and usually have it just sitting around on my desk waiting for a build to be put in so of course I had to include it here! Thanks so much Captain, such high praise! Always glad to hear you like it!!! Thanks Ross! Here's hoping to keep it up!

Woot, that's good news for Captain Whiffo - thankee!

I know I ought to know this, but... Can sistership builds be licenced (as, well whatever they are besides a build that has to do with sistershipping)? Especially if it's a larger build it seems to make sense for it to be - I think the answer is yes (it's probably been done before too if it is?), but just looked over the sistershipping rules and it didn't specify so thought it'd be good to ask And no hurry, of course - it's not like I would wait until the day the MRCA is due to ask or anything... (And yes, I'm asking both about my recent mill build and future sistershipping builds in the plans that I'd like to go a little bigger on and licence if I can Thanks in advance!)

It was. And great participation and builds from everybody as well!

Yes, we are working on them! (No you didn't miss it ) You can expect them in the next few days, I think!

Lovely! Fantastic layout, and the colors work beautifully - just somber enough for a very realistic feel, but still colorful enough, with the paths, flowers, and Tudor, to keep the eye interested and to make it overall look cozy and nice to visit. Really love those roofs (gonna have to try that someday! ) and the Tudor-work, which is superb, and the presentation with the video is excellent as well. I wholeheartedly approve of your musical tastes here too! Beautiful work.

A waterwheel mill (medium factory) for Port Wilks, licenced by me

Port Wilks, June, 621 It has been some time since we've seen our young first mate - now captain of the Fog-Breaker - Myles Bowditch, but in the last few years he managed to build up a little fortune in trading both for himself and for the ETWC, and now with a part of that - inspired, possibly, by the activity around the new ETWC agent just arrived in the area - he had just built and outfitted a new flour mill on the river that skirts the Port Wilks settlement. It was bright and early one morning soon after the mill had been fitted out and begun to run that Myles stood awaiting the arrival of a certain well-known and eccentric Eslandolan captain, and as the sound of a coach's wheels rattling along the path met his ears he looked up to see Captain Whiffo rolling up in a carriage that probably belonged to the mayor (if you know why then kudos for following the storyline and having a crazy good memory! ). "Well, Captain Bowditch - so things have been sailing fairly with you, mate?" inquired Captain Whiffo after the first cordialities were dispensed with. "Excellently indeed, captain," reply our hero, "but I'm afraid the sinking of our one company's ship seems to have been a bit of a damper on the general spirits." "Oh right - the WSWHPTOE. 'Twas a most unfortunate turn for it to go down on its first expedition," Captain Whiffo stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I think it was the WDTPTOE?" "Right," replied Captain Whiffo, shaking his head - "the WDTSTOP. At any rate, whatever they named it we really ought to sistership it promptly, and the Henri as well. Arr, but have I been out of a ship for too long!" "Indeed," replied Myles pensively (thinking, perhaps, about how difficult it would be to spell the WDTPTOE II - of was it the WDTSTOE II?) "I heard you bought some tulips recently, Capt'n?" "Oh yes, quite the rage," replied Captain Whiffo contentedly, quite happy to hear that the news had got about. "Now there is a notion for the cargo of the WDTPTOS II!" "Not a bad idea at all," Myles answered, beginning to pace up and down, "I might have to buy a cargo hold of it for the Fog-Breaker's next voyage as well." "A capital idea," and Captain Whiffo began to clang his saber in his hook, as he always did when excited upon the subject of capital, "just the thing once we get the ETWC once more to its rightful place plying the trading seas!" "Have you heard of the new currency in Corrington?" asked Captain Bowditch after some more details had been satisfactorily settled. "No." "You wouldn't like to," laughed Myles, his mind running on schillings and six-pnence. The clanging stopped and Captain Whiffo's face grew serious, for the topic of money always was extraordinarily important to him - but ask as he would he could get no more out of Myles about it, for the young captain had decided he'd rather not be around when that explosion took place. A few more details later the two parted ways amiably, the one to prepare his vessel for its next voyage and the other to ask everyone he met about the new currency until he had gotten to the bottom of it. But unbeknownst to them, a small, unseen pair of ears had been listening carefully all this while. "Pieces of eight!" ejaculated Captain Nordau's parrot softly in surprise, with a low whistle... Hey y'all! Another build from me - I really wanted to use this waterwheel for BoBS after building it for the Summer Joust and am really happy with how the scene came together! So fun to use a bunch of Kai's yellow leaves as well! Otherwise just a medium mill for Port Wilks and a list of all the stuff I need to build for my convenience (and to help me remember)! - and a sistership build for the Henri (now the Whiffo's Riposte). Haven't forgot about Captain Whiffo's duel storyline either, but it's about time that one way or another we finally get our captain back on the seas! Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome as always!

Yeah, no problem at all! The topic titles are mostly to help find entries easier/to attract attention to the challenge, so it should be completely fine for you to add some details to the titles there. Beautiful build too!

Those are some gorgeous colors that you've got here, and you used them beautifully too! Love that olive vine creeping up to the balcony, and despite the more polished style and updated color scheme, the layout has a very classic feel to it that is great! And as the others have mentioned, sweet job with that flag/banner!
