Mike S Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 The accusations certain Mitgardians were making against the Kaliphlin nobility did not go unnoticed by Masa. So to teach them a lesson, he decided to play a prank on them when he personally delivered Kaliphlin heating oil to Mitgardia. For the prank, Masa used a confiscated pirate dinghy and a small trade cog fitted out with black sails and loaded with Kaliphlin oil. The captain of the trade cog even donned an eye patch to play the part of a pirate. Kaliphlin Captain dressed as a pirate by -Mike S-, on Flickr The two ships then sailed for Mitgardia. To be certain his prank would not turn into a deadly matter, Masa avoided the heavily traveled shipping lanes of Mitgardia and took the oil to a small trading post in northwestern Mitgardia.

Kai NRG Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Great job! The ice mounds the Mitgardians are standing on are really nice, especially the shaping of the first one! Quote
Simon_S Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Nice build and the story with it is so funny! Quote
Gideon Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Nice build, minifig posing and story Good job showing those Mitgardians that Kaliphlinites are peaceful (as long as we are not provoked too much ) Quote
kabel Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I doubt those Kaliphlins had such a hard time to dress up like pirates, their privateers look like that all the time! (I really like the bigger ship, it looks very Kalphlin indeed!) Quote
HammerBro Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Great story! The figs are awesome (even though they are now beardless ) and I really like the ice. Quote
Gunman Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I really like the ship, very well done! Those were fake mitgardians... We never lose our beards! Quote
mrcp6d Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 That big boat is quite nice indeed. The "beard falling off" part cracked me up! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Excellent boats and ice floes, the little shelter on the larger boat looks great It seems odd to me that the Kaliphlin sailors are dressed for such warm weather when they're in Mitgardia. Surely they must be cold? I don't see any fires/fireplaces to keep them warm on their ship Very cool build though, I like how you have 1 guy below deck bringing up oil Quote
Mike S Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Great job! The ice mounds the Mitgardians are standing on are really nice, especially the shaping of the first one! Thanks! Nice build and the story with it is so funny! Thanks! Glad you found the story funny. Nice build, minifig posing and story Good job showing those Mitgardians that Kaliphlinites are peaceful (as long as we are not provoked too much ) Thanks! Best to be a Kaliphlin ally instead of a Kaliphlin enemy. I doubt those Kaliphlins had such a hard time to dress up like pirates, their privateers look like that all the time! (I really like the bigger ship, it looks very Kalphlin indeed!) Ha, that is because we Kaliphlins are a jovial lot and there is always a masquerade ball going on somewhere in Kaliphlin. (Thanks ) I really like the ship, very well done! Those were fake mitgardians... We never lose our beards! Thanks! That big boat is quite nice indeed. The "beard falling off" part cracked me up! Thanks! Glad to give you a laugh.

Well as you can see the sailors are working quite strenuously so they are quite warm at the moment. They left their heavy coats below deck, usually go sleeveless in Kaliphlin and had no plans to stay in Mitgardia for long. Quote
Kayne Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Very nice build for this category Mike! The beards on the ground are great, but the boats take the show here. Quote
Gideon Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Which part is that hat those Mitgardians are wearing btw? Quote
robuko Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Beautiful minifig posing and photography Mikel. I love the humour in this set up. The Stern of the larger vessel is very Kali. Nice entry Quote
Mike S Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks guys! Which part is that hat those Mitgardians are wearing btw? That would be Cad Bane's hat - 61507Dark Brown Minifig, Headgear Hat, Very Wide Brim Quote
