[COR - FB] Port Raleigh Harbour

[Flavius Gratian]

Now that Port Raleigh had a working lighthouse to guide shipping into the settlement it needed a proper harbour to take care of the shipping once arrived.
This was something that had been recognised by the previous Mayor, Lord Erie Flynn, who had ordered the construction of a few wooden docks and quays.
However, again his disappearence had left the public works without funding and supervision, which had lead the wodden harbour to decay.

George Sterling saw this as his next project. He hired workers and bought stone for the construction of a new permanent harbour. He even managed, after
much debating, to convince the remains of the local government bureaucracy to open a harbour master's office to keep track of shipping.

The new harbour immediately became the most bussy part of town. Ships docking, goods being load on- and offshore, merchants selling fish and other 
products from their stands, and locals just enjoying the commotion.

OOC: This will be licenced as a medium commercial. As far as I recall this is the last build that was planned by Sca (or at least Erie Flynn) originally. We'll see what comes next, I have a few ideas.

Comments and criticism are always welcome!

Great looking build! This looks like a properly busy harbor! I like the building how it's not just square.

Nice little port and great minifig posing! Your build is very lively, it reminds me classic port illustrations of pirate stories! Keep it up!

Thank you!  Yeah, I initially had an even more irregular design, but sadly I have very few roof pieces so it din't work out.

Thank you very much! That's kind of what I went for, glad you like it!

Another lovely scene from your hands. Looks very lively, with a lot of good posing.

My only comment is that I would like to see text and photos interspersed, with some relevant description. Right now, it feels like you have built a whole story and taken pictures of each scene, but we are sort of missing them in the story.

And again, great to see PR getting some well-deserved love.

I usually do write in the story between the pictures, but for this build I really didn't have one. I just posed the minifigs in a way that seemed natural and implied action to me. Though I may insert some comments if I come up with anything.

I'll do more builds in Port Raleigh in the future.

Great bustling harbour Flavius -  it really conveys a busy atmosphere with all the minifigs going about their business. Another great addition to PR!

Very good

The little scenes together are forming a real life street/harbour.
