  1. I have purchased a small house in Breshaun from which to I intend to build my business in the New World. It has been finely adorned in blue and white trim, painted the same grey as the merchant fleet. It is suitable, although I endeavour to gain the funds for something larger with time. Honoré Sarrazin
  2. Very nice! I think it would look better if the maroon was black or green though.
  3. Once I have a couple vessels (and a job again, I got laid off!) I can do displays at Bricks Cascade and BrickCon. Probably not this year though.
  4. Question: Are only licensed properties or all properties counted when determining the size of a settlement?
  5. FB= Free Build CH= Challenge It's shorthand to avoid huge tags, just like the faction abbreviations (OL for Oleon).
  6. I think that this year we shouldn't expect any pirates. We may get some Islander - type sets from the Disney film Moana if we are lucky. Next year though, we might get some PotC sets, and if we are lucky those will carry into 2018. After that? I hope that at some point we get a set like the Medieval Village, either a civilian port or a merchantman. I don't expect it to be part of a big lineup though. The other thing to hope for would be a Disney re-release or remake of Treasure Island, now that Lego and Disney are busom-buddies. That would get us another wave of pirates.
  7. Congrats on getting blogged on TBB!
  8. I too approve. I would like to see a little more detail on the beach or behind it next time though.
  9. Very nice, although the water looks really clear for a swamp!
  10. It's very nice! The rock work and wet sand are excellent touches. Perhaps next time, run the cliff the full length of the base or let it gently taper down. The sides seem very abrupt.
  11. Thanks! Thank you, I think I cropped the photo too small before I applied the effect (it creates dark edges).
  12. Dear Journal, I decided to row ashore and fish on dry land today. BIG mistake. Turns out the fishing spot I picked "belonged" to one of the native gods, and lo and behold, a blowgun-wielding islander appeared to let me know. Luckily, I had just caught a fish, which I promptly offered to him. He seemed to be molified. I guess the islands aren't uninhabited after all. I think I'll leave the exploring to young Jean-Luc. It's more of a young man's game anyhow. -Honoré
  13. Thank you everyone! I will try to make the challenge one deadline for at least one category but no promises.
  14. Honoré Sarrazin Sarrazin is a merchant and gunsmith from a long line of craftsmen. He specialized in rifled long arms, but expanded his business to include everything from pistols to 68-pounder shore guns, and powder mills to feed them. His son, Jean-Luc, serves as a lieutenant in the Oleander Navy. Here we see him in his first permanent shop in the Old World.
  15. Question - the rules say all figures must be purist - is that meant to block just painting, decals and the like, or extend all the way to professional 3rd party accessories like blasters from BrickArms or helmets from Arealight? Edit: Not trying to argue too much over the rules, but I ask because I sold off most of my TLC blasters a while back to replace them with third-party ones. Since it's pretty much a personal preference and doesn't give me any kind of advantage for contests, I'd much rather avoid buying Lego brand blasters again.
  16. Here's a few: A 1L x 1W x 2H cone - like a stretched version of the small cone. A 2L x 2W x 1H cone - a cone version of the dome piece, that is used as R2 heads. More conical than the R5 head. The 1x1x1/3 round plates with holes in more sets, not just games. Bring back finger hinges... Five-wide parts. A piece like the control lever base, but without a slot and with a notch at the bottom to be able to remove it.
  17. I suppose a new line closely based on the planets line.
  18. http://en.bricker.ru/sets.html?family=Star+Wars&theme=Planets That's what we have so far... There are a lot I'd like to see, but I think that we are not going to see much beyond one ship per planet, or much outside the movies, unless they are great sellers. With that in mind: Coruscant - Purple Jedi Starfighter - Mace Windu Kamino - ARC-170 - Clone Pilot Geonosis - Geonosian Fighter - Geonosian Pilot Death Star II - TIE/ln - Stormtrooper Mustafar - Dk. Green Jedi Starfighter - Dark Side Ani Hoth - Snowspeeder - Rebel Soldier And perhaps some big-small ship combos: Hoth Transport - Y-wing - Rebel Pilot Tantive IV - TIE Advanced - Captain Antillies Medical Frigate - B-wing - Bacta Luke Millenium Falcon - A-wing - Han Solo Republic Cruiser - Droid Fighter - Republic Crew Invisisble Hand - Tri-fighter - Palpatine (movie version) Imperial Shuttle - TIE Bomber - Imperial Officer
  19. Front Top Inside The Plantation House, with fireplace, bed, trophy case, desk, and sea chest. Sorry about the crappy pics, but my camera's busted and I had to use my phone.

  21. I'd try and get 1 more mid, with 3 mids you can easily make a beautiful 2 masted brig. She's to be a one master, but later on I might try my hand at a two-masted brig or brigatine. Plus, if I do this, I can make it using the hull of a marked-down BrickBeard's Bounty.
  22. Use a pencil eraser to erase the face you don't want. If you want both, buy two faces and erase a different side on each one.
  23. Quick question - what kind of plastic are these made of?
