Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) In Pontelli's Baker Street, Enrico Quickwin is selling high-priced paintings and maps (mostly to gullible tourists). But these paintings aren't unique by any means. They are created by highly-skilled painters in an industrialized way in Pontelli's (secret) art factory. Their output is about 20 paintings/maps per day. Fresh paint and canvas are being delivered every hour. And in the evening Enrico Quickwin is generous in buying rounds of banana shakes. The rare cases of artistic fabrication failure exceptions (AFFE) are collected and shipped to Corrington at give-away-prices (like "Whistler's Father", "Loony Misa", "Golden Earring with Girl", "Darky Night" and others). I had to leave out the roof to allow a decent interior-view. C&C welcome. Edited May 26, 2016 by Captain Braunsfeld Quote
blackdeathgr Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Hahaha! Excellent idea as usually and great use of that cpt Hook's hat :-) Poor monkeys though, working like slaves for a banana shake Quote
Maxim I Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 hahahahahahahaha :p This is such a great laugh! Thanks! The MOC itself is also very great, typically a Captain Braunsfeld MOC! Quote
Garmadon Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Excellent idea, and very funny build, Captain B! The bit about gullible tourists and the AFFEs was especially hilarious! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 26, 2016 Author Posted May 26, 2016 Why is everybody laughing? This is a serious MOC! Hahaha! Excellent idea as usually and great use of that cpt Hook's hat :-) Poor monkeys though, working like slaves for a banana shake I assume that the monkeys are a) enjoying themselves b) otherwise not getting a banana shake hahahahahahahaha :p This is such a great laugh! Thanks! The MOC itself is also very great, typically a Captain Braunsfeld MOC! Thanks. Quite a change. When I started here, I presented different ships ... and now I try to expand the beautiful city of Pontelli (does it even have a harbour?) Excellent idea, and very funny build, Captain B! The bit about gullible tourists and the AFFEs was especially hilarious! Oh, yes, one note to the international readers: "Affe" is the German word for "monkey". Quote
Capt Wolf Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Monkeys in a Captain Braunsfeld MOC -- who would have guessed?! Great use of the Capt Hook hat/hair, and of the new wedge plate piece as a easel. Another fun build! Great job! Quote
Phadeout Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Hilarious and I've learnt some German as a bonus - wins all round. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Another great way to put those monkeys to use! The Captain Hook headpiece actually looks better then I would imagine Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Ahahah! Again the monkeys strike again ! And they are quite good artists ! Look at that fine vessel one of them painted... Great job and very funny ! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 27, 2016 Author Posted May 27, 2016 Monkeys! Lovely! :monkey: Monkeys in a Captain Braunsfeld MOC -- who would have guessed?! Great use of the Capt Hook hat/hair, and of the new wedge plate piece as a easel. Another fun build! Great job! Monkeys in my MOCS - I am full of surprises Next big thing is going to be Kolonialbeamter putting out LDD ships! Your monkeys are too funny! Very clever! Thank you! Another great way to put those monkeys to use! The Captain Hook headpiece actually looks better then I would imagine I have bought several Captain Hooks to be on the safe side. The hat is awesome, as the Americans say! Ahahah! Again the monkeys strike again ! And they are quite good artists ! Look at that fine vessel one of them painted... Great job and very funny ! The monkeys are not on strike! But I keep wondering: The monkey on the left is holding a red crayon ... and is working on a black and white painting.... (Well, maybe is just starting to add some red...) Quote
Elostirion Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Great idea, those add a really nice touch to our world. Great execution on top of that, just another great MOC from you. Thanks for keeping us entertained! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 Not to get in trouble with the animal activists, here's the politically correct version: Here you have Willy and Harry working on the paintings while Kate is bringing the cappucino. Great idea, those add a really nice touch to our world. Great execution on top of that, just another great MOC from you. Thanks for keeping us entertained! Thanks - my pleasure Quote
Bregir Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Amusing little factory, Captain. I really like the play on these tourist traps. I recently went to Firenze, and saw the same painting being sold all over the city. Apparently they've got monkeys working doubletime too! Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Your creativity never seizes to amaze me, CB AFFENgeil! The political correct version is nice, too, but Kate seems to be missing a whip... however... this might get you in trouble with the slaves' union or gender activists or whatnot. Hmpf... They just don't make 'em slave painters as they used to. Keep it up! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 Amusing little factory, Captain. I really like the play on these tourist traps. I recently went to Firenze, and saw the same painting being sold all over the city. Apparently they've got monkeys working doubletime too! Thanks. I spent one holiday on Fuerteventura and they had many shops, but almost every shop was offering the same stuff... Your creativity never seizes to amaze me, CB AFFENgeil! The political correct version is nice, too, but Kate seems to be missing a whip... however... this might get you in trouble with the slaves' union or gender activists or whatnot. Hmpf... They just don't make 'em slave painters as they used to. Keep it up! Kate seems to be missing... well, it seems you've got your visions of some Kate, this is obviously a different Kate. Something strange has happened to the pot with the blue paint. Luckily noone has mentioned it so far Quote
Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) I read somewhere that if you took enough monkeys and gave them enough Lego and enough time they would eventually produce the entire MOCs of Captain Braunsfeld. Edited May 29, 2016 by Fuzzy MacFuzz Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 I read somewhere that if you took enough monkeys and gave them enough Lego and enough time they would eventually produce the entire MOCs of Captain Braunsfeld. I think this MOC is a desperate cry for help from those poor creatures Quote
SilentWolf Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 I think I prefer the monkey version over the minifigures. Great build thigh and a good idea for a factory. Quote
Mpyromaxos Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Haha!! Nice idea!! Very creative and funny!! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks guys! I read somewhere that if you took enough monkeys and gave them enough Lego and enough time they would eventually produce the entire MOCs of Captain Braunsfeld. Someone must have given away the secret of how my MOCs are being created... But the Lead Monkey has informed me that they won't be doing new MOCs for me in the foreseeable future - they need to write the complete works of Shakespeare first. Quote
