My two builds for Category B - Sailing the River of Time: Marooned

Your finished crew look awesome, they're gonna be tough to beat.

Two more Crew members added, one is quite plain and one is possibly too stupid, so I'd welcome opinions if you have any. There is an alternative view of the dolphin on my flickr page which has a slightly better view of how everything is attached. I still need to think of names.

Now with added Mecha-Parrot.

Love the Octopus the most, but they're all really clever parts useage.

Thanks, the photos have benefited from unusually sunny weather. I got the helmet from this set, which I had to get through bricklink as it was never released in the UK.

Aaaaaaaaaaaagh, I'm working on a parrot mech! I like your selection of figures, they have a nice colour scheme and a good mix of space and pirate themes.

I think these are my favourite so far, Mr. Feathers is amazing.

Thanks guys, I realise the second figure is a little plain, but he has the most pirate-y torso I own, and the only head I have that matches is the one that came with the original figure. And that has crazy zombie eyes which doesn't really fit the theme. So he has to wear that helmet to disguise the fact that his head and body don't match. (I'll need to come up with a more elaborate back story than that when I come to do the character bios). At the momment he has Deadpool's head, but maybe I could find better eyes somewhere.

Yawn in disinterest weary traveller for you have come face to face with the least notorious band of pirates in the seven oceans of space: The Hook Hand Gang. Murmur refusal when they offer tax advice, Shrug with mild indifference at their top ten list of savory pies, Roll your eyes at their insistance at a proper breakfast. Sigh as they take the time to politely introduce themselves: Captain Squiggly Captain Squiggly became a pirate as a young squid when he missread an advert seeking a fearless pirater as seeking a fearless pie rater. (the wording was misleading and english was his second language). Initially disappointed, he decided to stick with it, surmising that he would probably come into contact with some pies at some point during the extensive travel involved in pirating. The young Squiggly, always eager to please, lost his hand trying to retrieve his captain's pocketwatch from the jaws of a crocodile. He inherited his ship and his captaincy when the rest of the crew were all eaten by a much larger and angrier crocodile while he was below deck researching savory pie fillings. On becoming captain, Squiggly set about recruiting a crew that was as equally as lacking in piratey conviction as he was, and together they sail the seven oceans of space looking for treasure, eating pies, and generally staying out of trouble. Hugo Hugo suffers from mild Mysophobia, a fear of germs, and wears his home-made metal helmet with built-in air filter to prevent him from breathing in anything nasty. The heavy weight of it has helped him to develop very strong neck muscles, but his promising swimming career has suffered. Princess Squarkers Pollard the Magnificent MEng When Captain Squiggly retired from piracy he had dreams of becoming a champion parrot breeder. With a keen eye for a bargin he spotted a miss-labelled parrot at a Space Police confiscated items auction. Hoping to train her for the Pan Galaxy Fancy Parrot Competition, he gave her the suitably grand title of Princess Squarkers Pollard the Magnificent. Unfortunately for Captain Squiggly, Princess Squarkers Pollard the Magnificent thought talent shows were stupid and ran off to engineering College. Four years later she graduated top of her class when the Mech she built stomped on all her classmate's final year projects. Lady Elisabet Stone Lady Elisabet doesn't think her past is any concern of yours, thank you very much. Which is unfortunate as her's is by far the most interesting back story. Fred the Dolphin Frederica is an advanced species of dolphin evolved to swim through, and breath, almost any liquid or gas, from salt water to the vacuum of space. She was trained by the Imperial Guard to rescue lost astronauts and to locate floating mines, and served in their navy for 2 years. However the constant emphasis on parading and paperwork over actual mine clearing led to her resigning at the ealiest opportunity. After leaving the military she was in high demand with pirate crews throughout the seven oceans but chose to join the Hook Hand Gang because of their progressive policies on dolphin equality (All dolphins in the Gang may be armed with two large cannons if they so chose), Ice Cream (There is always time to stop for Ice Cream) and Parades (There will be no parades). The rest of the gang sometimes thinks she looks a little smug, which may be true, but that's only because being a dolphin who can swim through space is excellent. "Trendy" Jack When most men reach middle age they buy a hover car, or a small space ship, or tell everyone that if it wasn't for that injury in high school they could of had a successful zero-g football career. Not Jack, he decided to become a Space Pirate. And to prove to everyone that he is still young and original he got himself a pink mohawk, just like half the other pirates in space. He's secretly relieved that the Hook Hand Gang doesn't really concern itself with traditional piracy. He acts as the Gang's accountant.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

I think I have the right festival; you hang brightly coloured decorations from a tree: then you hit them with a stick. My Ideal Christmas Gift is time with my number one best friend, and maybe a trucker hat with an animal embroidered on it, some alpaca wool fingerless gloves..... and world peace.

I don't think it's very pratical, however I'm sure there are some advantages to the Turtle Battle Tower. Turtle Battle Tower by IamKritch, on Flickr

My 3rd and probably final entry. It might not be exactly what the competition was asking for, but it's not bigger than 8 x 8 and it does have a turtle in it. Turtle Shrine by IamKritch, on Flickr

My second entry for the competition and my first attempt at Neo Classic Space. More pictures and craters on Flickr Neo Classic Space Turtle by IamKritch, on Flickr

Thanks

Thanks CopMike. Rick - I'm afraid I have the same problem too - not enough posts to be able to Personnel Message.
