    A fun little build with great vegetation. The coconuts in the palm trees are a great addition. The question begs to be asked, don't they spend more time and energy catching crabs than they would if they simply walked places ?

    Looking at the ship index, it appears the Little Hermes already has a licence. I just want to make sure that I'm not about to licence something twice.

    I've never been a huge fan of tall forecastles, but this ship is really nice. The colors complement each other nicely, and I am a big fan of the center lantern. Given the captain's name, I would be interested in knowing if the rest of the crew are similarly named.

    A very active scene to be sure. I like the use of plumes as flowing wine and the various grass stems to add detail to the base plate. Connecting the vines to their supports was quite clever. I recommend adding some brown dirt paths to add some detail.

    With the blessing of Poseidon I'm sure you will have a prosperous voyage. Besides, who needs sextants and barometers when you have the god of the seas on your side . The build is well done. The sand green roof complements the rest of the structure quite nicely, and the pillars look good. I'm not sold on the green tiles on the gray tiles; it looks like grass is growing on the stone which doesn't seem right (though I suppose it could be moss).

    Thank you to everyone for your kind words and advice. I agree that the roofs could use some work, and I'll keep that in mind in the future. The color variation was more out of necessity than anything else, but I'm glad you like it. I tried to make the scene as lively as possible, and I'm really glad that it worked out. Personally, I thin the fisherman picture is my favorite. As for the building on the right, it is basically a massive brick warehouse, but I agree that it could use some more detail. I look forward to seeing your scene. I built the red building out of 1x2s hoping it would look like bricks, but it didn't turn out quite as good as I would have liked. I'll have to work on that. That makes two of us. Thank you.

    That is a very nice build. The plaster and frame house (not sure what you call that style) is very well done. In my opinion, the plates on the roof looks disordered and messy in comparison to the rest of the building. I also like the use of the sewer to add some extra detail to such a small build. That said, I can never root against Oleon and will retract any praise if it helps our side win this duel .

    Seeing as my ship will not be ready for the upcoming MCRA, I am willing to sail one of the other licensed ships. Is there a group PM you could add me to? No beard is nothing short of heresy! Obviously the sculptor must be burnt at the stake for this unforgivable act.

    The blue makes me think of Oleon, but perhaps the captain is just showing his true colors . More to the point, this is a nice build, and a good story to justify the lack of rigging. I think the railings could use some more supports along them, but that's a minor point. What part is the wheel? I do not recall seeing anything like that in gray.
  10. Captain Genaro
    I'm always fascinated by custom hulls, and this build is no exception. This looks just like I would expect a small native craft to appear. The use of brown and tan for the hull strikes me as odd, but perhaps the natives have some reason for it .

    The building is fantastic. The overall design is very nice, and the colors complement each other nicely. Your spinning jenny/penny looks realistic, but I would recommend adding a wheel or gears so that it can operate (most designs I've seen have a large wheel for the worker to spin). Of course, maybe that's what the technique t-pins represent. I approve.
  12. Captain Genaro
    A very nice ship. The brick built sails are very nice, and I like the touches of gold throughout. I'm a huge fan of the swab/ramrod. The build is nothing unique, but details like that help a MOC come to life. The only thing I might change is the chain across the sails. It seems out of place, and I am not quite sure what it represents. I approve.
  13. Captain Genaro
    Thank you for your kind words. I was a little concerned about the gray building, but I am glad that the rough stonework is being received so well. Yes it is. Some sacrilegious thief knocked over some crates in his attempt to steal an apple. Unfortunately, one of those crates had a snake in it. Thank you for the suggestions. It's ironic, since I tend to be just like you in that I dislike going offsite to see pictures. I have updated the first post with more pictures. The cover suggestion seems to be quite simple yet effective. I will be sure to keep that in mind next time I build facades.

    By Zeus, words cannot describe my horror at seeing how these savages murder fellow Oleons I am entirely of the mind that we must have our revenge! The editing in the first picture is perfect and does a superb job at setting the scene. Furthermore, I like the aspen trees (I might have to copy that design) and the pond.
  15. Captain Genaro
    I'm particularly fond of the tree and the bush. Both are well-executed, and I like the leaves/vines growing along the trunk of the tree. The rock work is also nice, and I think the dark and light grays work well for representing different layers of rock. As for the base, I feel that stacking brown plates could add some variation to the ground.
  16. Captain Genaro
    That crew must be kept busy polishing all the bronze . The cabin is a little too tall in my opinion, but that may just be a matter of taste. My favorite part has to be the water. The small waves are excellent, and I love the ship's wake.
  17. Captain Genaro
    A nice depiction of explorers traveling in some uncharted land. The thick vegetation along the ground is very nice, and I think the snow is fine. Furthermore, it's nice to see something different from the standard tropical MOCs.

    Dear Sir, You are hereby directed to attend upon His Majesty's representative Commandant Louis Millet this Sunday at ten after eleven.... With the letter stowed in his coat, Captain Anthony Genaro walked along the all too familiar quay. Being beached for the past months made his mood progressively gloomier, with nothing to do but collect his half-pay and watch more fortunate captains depart for lands unknown. But today Genaro bore no trace of the man who had been ashore the past few months, for (short of a court-martial) this letter could mean only one thing; Genaro had been assigned a ship. The thought of a ship, and the full-pay that accompanied a command, made Genaro a new man. And as he walked along the quay, he couldn't help but glancing over his shoulder at the vast expanse of ocean just beyond the harbor. The Waterfront by Capt.

    That's an impressive introduction. Both pictures are great, and I'm particularly drawn to the posing of the minifigs in the second. Can't wait to see this story evolve.

    The shack is fantastic. The log walls and leaf-covered roof really gives the impression of it being near the jungle. Of course, the monkey, parrots, and banana on the roof also help. The vines in the water near the piles are a nice addition and help add some detail to the water.
  22. Captain Genaro
    Hmm, an Oleon who stood to inherit nothing and went to sea. And the second son a "person of note" in the Oleon Navy. Why does this seem so familiar? More to the point, this is a great way to introduce your character. The last picture in particular does an excellent job of setting the scene. The floor looks a little worn, and the lamp is fantastic. Furthermore, the frame and arch wall has a simple elegance to it. May I ask what part you used for the lamp stem? My only critique would be the cleanliness. It may not be the favorite hangout for the bloodthirsty, but I'd expect any respectable pirate tavern to have crooked pictures on the walls and bottles on the floor!
  23. Captain Genaro
    Great job with the water, especially mixing the trans plates with the solid blue. The trans-clear in particular reminds me of the foam on ocean swells. The posing of the canoe is perfect; it truly appears to be flying across the surface in the fist shot. The bow may be a little stubby, but I didn't notice it until the second picture. The seafloor is simple, yet effective. Still, I think some coral could add some color and help make add some detail to the seafloor.

    As just about everyone else has mentioned, the photographs is marvelous. Thank you very much for the tutorial; I will have to experiment with aperture if I every try some forced perspective shots.
  25. Captain Genaro
    That's a nice building. I'm particularly fond of all the details on the interior, especially the roof's framework. The exterior is a little too colorful for my taste (but I appreciate you sticking true to the Sea Rats' colors). I am somewhat concerned by the open chests of gold in the front. Seems like those would be quick to disappear in any pirate town.
