    Thank you everyone! @Kolonialbeamter and @Bregir - I'll keep that in mind for my corvette. Do you think a coffee-stained cloth sail would look better?

    Thank you everyone!

    I purchased a small outrigger canoe from the natives today. We painted it white, and re-rigged it for a more conventional sail. They're speedy little things, although the cargo capacity is almost nothing. I've handed her off to two of my employees to take fishing, to supplement the income from the powder mill until we can purchase a proper freighter. I've christened her the "Dove".

    Thank you everyone! As promised, better waterwheel pics.

    The perfect little shop. Oleon approves!
  7. The Sarge
    Very nice! As is fitting, the Oleanders are the best dressed, but the Eslandians are nice too.

    Thanks guys, I'll give that topsail cutter rig a go. A brig or snow rig will be the next big one, for a white and blue corvette. That one has much less finished though, and is out of the rating system right now anyways. I'd be willing to build one for you but I can't even finish this one until I get a job again (well, technically I can but I don't want to spend money unnecessarily in the meantime) XD. Once I'm back on my feet I'll punch a few vessels out for general Oleon use.

    If you paid though PayPal you may be able to get your money back as well even if the buyer won't cooperate.

    Thanks Phred! I guess my vessels might be a bit on the big side then, I figured it for a Class 2T, since that's how I'm rigging it.
  11. The Sarge
    Very nice! The coals look perfect. Approval from Oleon!

    Wanted to post up progress on my cog, I need to order more parts before I can continue (mostly hinge bricks and flex tube). C&C welcome, I've yet to to a stern decoration.

    I don't know, I'm quite enjoying myself. My first challenge build was sub-par, I admit, so I've resolved to not enter if I can't build something decent. Simple self-management really. I also build as much as I can while I have time. My goal is to be posting 2-3 free builds per month and have a couple in reserve in case I have a month where I can't build much. I think the rules are pretty good as is, with one exception - I think free builds after 2 shouldn't earn dubloons. If you want to build your story that's great, and if you want to be licencing three properties every month you'll need to do three freebuilds, but I think one model every two weeks is a good pace for quality.

    Oldest would be my mom's Legos from when she was a kid, a mixed bin from the 60s or so. Rarest though are a pair of 1x1 corner panels in Old Dark Grey - this was not a production color for that part and it was not in any set. I bought them in two separate BL buys for my WW2 models.

    I'd use a pink eraser and then wash it carefully. Brass is a metal polish and if you're not experienced with it you could damage the part. You only need a very tiny bit if you go that route.

    Was re-reading the gazette (lovely presentation), and noticed in the tips it mentions the Queen 'o the Corries has a bun in the oven! Isn't that rather scandalous to be printing? After all, the young woman is unwed! Tsk, tsk!

    He uses it for Olive Drab, which it works well for. That truck looks more like a Soviet model for which olive green is probably best, if difficult to work with. Polish interwar armor camoflauge has a green that matches sand green well, and NATO three-tone has a green that matches dark green best. There was even a Japanese WW2 scheme that has a green that matches normal green! There's no one-size fits all to military greens, because every nation makes its own paints.

    I'll mix them in bins. In MOCs it depends. For example, I'm unlikely to mix yellowed white and clean white in one building, but I might build one with each color variation and have them next to each other to accentuate the difference. Old and new grays can be used in panels, like on one of the AT-ATs in the Star Wars section, or to differentiate metal and canvas like on my WW2 German stuff. I have one damaged rail from a yard bulk that I'm planning in using in a damaged factory.

    I'm thinking that the CMF series could be a work-around, since they're marketed as a collectible, not as a action figure - just like the battle packs use the small vehicle or scenery to work around the same requirement. If that's what they're doing, I'd love a Star Wars line. I'd want to see at least: Yellow-trim R3 from Echo Base (not the orange one in the UCS set) Blue- or green-trim R5 Imperial Officer with unique rank squares New normal Grand Moff Tarkin And for accessories this would allow us some new molds or prints for things like SW tools, credit chips, or backpacks.

    Just one... '65 Shelby fastback Mustang, minty fresh condition.
  21. The Sarge
    Well, yeah. :P But I needed to know for the description, and which settlement it's going to.
  22. The Sarge
    I had a couple of Cobi sets ad a kid. They were probably the best of the clone brands - the black matches so well, and the fit and finish are high enough quality that I still come across a few in my unsorted bin - I have to read the studs to tell them apart!
  23. The Sarge
    Thanks, I should have been able to figure that out. Now I know which slope to put vineyards on.
  24. The Sarge
    Question - are we in the northern or southern hemisphere of this world?
  25. The Sarge
    It's annoying, yeah, but remember we have Rouge One coming up, which is set about the same time and centered on the Death Star plans, so another DBG Tarkin is possible within a year. At the very least I expect more new - style Imperial in DBG.
