Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) ... one two three four I just plain adore your ballroom dancing... It's time to play the music it's time to light the lights It is dancing time again in Pontelli. All the celebreties have gathered at this occasion. Colonel Brickinson was there too - in his usual good mood... Gangwolf Movaldi is playing the piano (he's presenting his latest hit: "Regina Danzante"). Alberto da Pontelli and his wife are happily joining the dance. .. while some more exhausted dancers are taking a break... A careful observer might catch the sight of Captain Cookie - but wait, isn't he a pirate? The ladies won't mind as he is a good dancer. I tried to include a spectator from the latest minifig series but he/it is not easy to see. Maybe you'll manage. No, I was not talking about the Gorilla. He is well accepted in these circles. C&C welcome - more and larger pictures on flickr. Edited January 2, 2019 by Captain Braunsfeld (pictures now on Bricksafe instead of flickr) Quote
Capt Wolf Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Lovely interior! I had no idea there was such social activity in Pontelli. Quote
dr_spock Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Nice ballroom. Sounds like Gangwolf is playing piano chords A, B, B, A. Maybe music from Dr. Hook like When You're In Love with a Beautiful Gorilla will get the disco going. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 Lovely interior! I had no idea there was such social activity in Pontelli. Everything can be found in Pontelli. Come over and have a look! Captain Cookie. :laugh: He's my favorite pirate Nice ballroom. Sounds like Gangwolf is playing piano chords A, B, B, A. Maybe music from Dr. Hook like When You're In Love with a Beautiful Gorilla will get the disco going. If you want to be happy for the rest of your life never make a go-rilla your wife.... Very Nice build! Oh, and I found him Good! Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Very nice ballroom, I really like the balcony and the curtains! The lantern design is simple but really works well. Great work! Quote
Gunman Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Beautiful Ballroom mate.... That guy there with the googles is awesome haha Quote
Captain Dee Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Lovely ballroom. It has the perfect look: tall decorated windows, a balcony, a fancy floor etc. I like that color scheme and the base is neat. You have a good group of minifigs, even if Alberto and his wife are dressed a few centuries ahead of their time. I see KB had a good dance partner, and he's found his yellow cup again! It appears someone stole Hook's outfit. I'm surprised Captain Cookie's band didn't provide the music. And apparently the queen needed a break from dancing just when the photographer showed up... I wonder if Gangwolf knows any more of those A, B, B, A chords: She's My Kind of Pirate, or Lay All Your Loot on Me, or Monkey Monkey Monkey, or You Owe Me Rum, or Waterloot... Good build. Quote

Thank you! Beautiful Ballroom mate.... That guy there with the googles is awesome haha Yes, that is Alberto da Pontelli (ahead of his time) Lovely ballroom.

Well, Captain Cookie has a pirate gang, not a band. And he will join the dance in the next scene (probably). And Gangwolf's next hit is going to be something like "yesterday, all the pirates were so far away..." Quote
Garmadon Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I will agree with the others here, you nailed the ballroom look with the tall windows, curtains, and balcony, Captain B! Very nice figs as well, and I really like your pianist (Gangwolf Movaldi) Great to see Pontelli expanding even more! Quote

(Well, since my ships now seem to get lost on a regular basis, maybe culture will pay off more than trying to trade...) Quote
Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Fabulous build: I want to be there! I love what you've done with the curtains, and the floor, and the windows, and the crowd, and the piano, and, and, and... ...so let's go ape! Edited July 19, 2016 by Fuzzy MacFuzz Quote

Maybe I should have mentioned the snot technique for the floor... Quote
Bregir Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Great looking floor, captain! ;) I too like the look and life of this ballroom. It all looks very stately, and the ball is surely a fine one. Well done Quote

Brick Corner Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 What Gorilla suit guy is doing here? Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 13, 2016 Author Posted August 13, 2016 What Gorilla suit guy is doing here? That is a good question. Worse is that I fear that it is not a suit... Quote
