"We have no map Alfie. How do we know we are going the right way?" Jim said: "Let's go back to The Sereen Cay and plan some raids, maybe on Nova.." - "Look here lads!" Samson Brody interrupted: "Astounding this is. Truly marvelous..." Brody stopped and was looking at some flora growing at the tip the edge. The crew had been inland on the Rock for some days but had not seen any sign or clue to what might suggest the rumors were true. Alfie's crew was beginning to wonder Brody had any idea what he was looking for. "Look here: these are flowers are named Fonticulus!" The Sea-Rats stopped to take a look.

 

"These flowers do not originally grow on this island! Someone has planted them here on purpose. They only grow in south-Corrington on Halos. This is a clear sign we are going he right way lads. Let's hurry!" And with those words the crew regained some faith in the eccentric scientist who promised treasure.  Little did they know they were being followed..

With this build I wanted to test on some rockwork I have seen on several images on Google/Flickr. Many thanks to all the AFOLs out there creating pirate-islands . Any comment is welcome. Episode 3 is coming.

A better look on my attempt on rocking rockwork:

Great rock work and good story.

Good posing of minifigs into this exhuberant greeneries

The rock turned out well...  Beware of prying eyes!

These builds certainly do not have the comments they deserve. Some very nice posing here, an intriguing (continuing) story, some excellent rockwork and great vegetation!

The snotted rocks work well to show the layers of rocks long deposited by an ancient sea, and your vegetation really looks lush and wild. I particularly like the vines hanging down the side and the palm mounted by snot!

well done!
