    I've been far too busy with my own business and kids, but if Nocturnus was open I'd love to build in it since it wasn't open last time.

    Brilliant work! Love the inclusion of my characters and I really enjoyed the way you managed to extract them from their perilous predicament following the last story update. Great job too on the microscale model of the castle. Whilst I'm not building much myself these days, I look forward to reading more of your stories!

    Thank you

    Hi folks, I've had a lot of time away from LEGO recently and I'm trying to get back into it. Officially I haven't yet joined BoBS but I was wondering if someone could please share a Discord link for the LEGO Pirates server so I can have a look around and see more about what's going on? Thanks!

    These are amazing mate! I like these better than the bear cavalry (although they were cool too). Can't wait to see them used in anger!

    This is a brilliant build. First of all, I disagree with Ross about the lighting - I think you've used the lack of light really effectively, especially the harsh shadows from the bricks themselves (normally this is discouraged, but you've used it perfectly to create the atmosphere in the scene). I love it! None of the buildings have a brick out of place - everything is used masterfully to make the industrial look come alive. The grate tiles on the floor too are perfect, and there's just the right amount of dark bley and reddish brown to get the rust across without it being overwhelming. Honestly, you should be really proud of this MOC! I'm really impressed with it anyway! Do you have Flickr? If so can you share the link as I'd love to favourite this. I see the images are stored on Brickshelf (are you a time traveller? ) so I'm hoping you have Flickr too!

    The first shot that is Photoshopped is very well done, and has a great atmosphere! The ships look great too.

    Wow, another very dark build! The coronavirus situation must be hitting you hard?! Great job integrating the blood into the snow, and the little gory details like the burned corpse and so on. I'm not sure this Imperial Super Commando unit are following the Geneva convention here! The minifig posing is perfect, I get a real sense of every character in the scene, and you made good use of tiles to avoid big grey wall syndrome.

    This is a great build! I love the container and the minifig positioning is top notch. I do sort of see Darth's point about the pre-made trees, but I think you've just about got enough going on here that they blend in.

    A super build. Love the integration of those sand green and white bricks, and the "target" style pattern around the pool. The architecture captures the Kaliphlin feel perfectly.

    The Muun fig is brilliant, especially the accusatory way he's holding the cane. I wish the assassin droid wasn't standing so close to the door though, it's a bit of a strange placement. As others have said, while the floor is a clever idea, without context it doesn't look like a reflection. I do however love the little kitchenette, especially the way you have integrated the fence piece into it. The parts usage around the bed is top-notch too.

    This is simply a brilliant build! So much to love here - from the general chaos of the lab (everything seems to have a place but it feels like a crazy scientist is using it), to the horrified expression on the next victim, to the uncaring medical droids. It's very dark though, but I do love it.
  13. Basiliscus
    Some nice work on the snow, especially the sloped sections, and the platform looks suitably industrial for the style you're trying to portray. The blood on the snow looks good, although personally I might have suggested putting a couple of trans red plates at the same height as the snow so it doesn't feel like it's sitting on top. I really love your main character though, such a well put together fig.
  14. Basiliscus
    As a few people have highlighted, the rebar is brilliant and really hits home the sense of destruction. I like the brutalist architecture of the pillars too, it feels gritty and industrial. One minor comment is that, although I'm assuming this is supposed to be a slice through a buildings cross section, I wish you had put in another set of supporting pillars as the lop-sided nature of the floating floor looks a little strange to me.
  15. Basiliscus
    Brilliant multi-level build! I really like the clone trooper poking his head through the vent, that's a lovely detail. On the top level you did a good job of breaking up the exterior panels using some of the new tiles, it looks more "natural".
  16. Basiliscus
    Fantastic work all round, but I really love that pattern on the back wall. I also love the minifig posing, the way you've set the legs to make it seem they are sitting on a bench.
  17. Basiliscus
    Ha! Very good! I like the humour and you've made good use of various minifig heads with expressions to help bring it to life. I hope Bob charges time and a half for cleaning up that mess!

    @W Navarre: Thanks for the detailed explanation! It does clear a number of things up. As I mentioned in your part I entry, I'm happy to accept Staffen's death and Poppa's capture (as long as nothing bad happens to her whilst a prisoner), so no hard feelings! My only complaint would be that because you and Garmaddon are brothers, your entry starts from the end of his entry, and that seems a bit against the spirit of the challenge IMO. Personally, something about that doesn't seem right. Your story is well written though and all the MOCs are fantastic, so I'm in no way suggesting it gets binned or anything, it's just that you've started from a different place than everyone else and that leaves me a bit uneasy.

    Here's my part of my entry into the challenge: Here's the full story: @Rogue Angel or @Garmadon: I noticed that @W Navarre is not listed on the first page of this thread as a member of Varlyrio, would you mind adding him please?
  20. Basiliscus
    @W Navarre and @ZlatanXVIGustaf: You both undertook some serious political machinations in your recent challenge entry, but neither of you have family members listed here so we can retaliate? Can you please share some information on your respective families so we have a chance to respond?

    @W Navarre: I have read all the parts of this build now, and while the builds are all great I'm having a hard time making sense of the story. Parts II and IV don't really join I and III together. Here's what I understood: Luca di Carlo (this is @ZlatanXVIGustaf's main character?) has become Rego (how did that happen? I thought that Supano Amancio was the Varlyian leader at the start of this challenge?) Luca di Carlo and the de Fiori's conspire to murder Staffen (note it's not Staffan) Conzaga, betraying their alliance Poppa Conzaga has allegedly been taken into di Carlo custody Alesio de Fiori (the head of the de Fiori family) is unsuccessfully attacked on the bridge, and the assassin blames the Cioto family (but it's not clear whether this is the Cioto or de Cioto family - the latter is yours but I can't find much info about them?) Cadgie de Fiori is attacked in the street by two unknown assailants and killed Capri de Fiori (Cadgie's niece) is taken prisoner by persons unknown (most likely di Carlo soldiers) Luca tricks Alesio de Fiori into ransackign the de Cioto mansion looking for Capri but then the de Cioto men arrive and chase the de Fiori's off Arama de Cioto is nearly killed and it's revealed she was working with the di Carlo's So it seems as if the di Carlo's have conspired with the de Ciotos to attack the Rego, the de Fiori's and the Conzagas all in one go? What's in it for the de Ciotos to reveal they killed Capri though? So I supposed it would make sense for the de Fioris and Conzagas to retaliate in some way. Have I understood all this correctly?

    Really great entry guys! So much to love here and a nice variety of different scenes - interiors, exteriors and on the high seas. Here's a question - why did the de Fiori's go to all the effort of eliminating the Rego, only to put a di Carlo on the throne? I know there's an alliance, but it seems a bit weird to me? I'm curious to see which of these Varlyrio stories will eventually become canon, especially those that contradict each other. Exciting times for the island guild!

    @adde51: If you're baulking (quite rightly) at the price of Photoshop, then I cannot recommend Affinity Photo enough, I've been using it for the last year (moved across from Photoshop Elements) and it's really fantastic. If you follow that link it's currently 50% off, so could be worth a shout. Free updates (until V2) and loads of tutorials.
  24. Basiliscus
    Fantastic entries all round everyone! Also thanks to the judges for putting this on. I do think the collaborative nature of this challenge was a big success!

    Really lovely build at a rarely seen scale! Great job.
