The crew of the Wight Spider sensed a tremendous opportunity on Ilse de Romantica. After all, Grayther Drave would pay a handsome fee for native treasures - and no doubt sell them on to buyers on the mainland for a small fortune. That part mattered little to Gascoigne, leader of the small mercenary band known as the Spiders. All they had to do was liberate those treasures from their current owners. Sometimes Gascoigne wondered if he and his crew enjoyed violence too much. A bottle of rum in their newly rewarded home soon put those thoughts to sleep.

Ahoy mateys, what a busy short month this is, so let's get straight to it: Drastic Measures - Part I Looking from the balcony, his eyes wandered from ship to ship. The Secrétaire d'Etat de la Marine was in no good mood. Although Quilbignon was as busy a port as never before, and despite the fact that the latest shipping numbers had skyrocketed, the depleted fleet was all he could think of. "Something needs to be done about this!", he mumbled into the gentle spring air. "Have this letter delivered to our embassador to Namere! They aren't going to like it, but neither do I." He was still outraged. The Commerce de Breshaun and the Scimitar, both ships had been captured by privateers coming from Namere, as several reports suggested. "Oleon has no quarrel with Namere", he thought "so why in the Brick Seas would they prey on our merchants?! Was it really them? Was it a misunderstanding - or a prelude to open war?" He didn't have an answer - which didn't help his bad mood. "And have my carriage readied! I need to get to Granoleon." The Secrétaire hesitated, weighing his words. "I have a proposal for the Lord Chancellor, that he might not like." "Oh, and before I forget", he continued "Have this here brought to the captain of The Galaxie!" "What is it, Sir?", his adjutant asked. The Secrétaire turned to the window and looked over the port again. "Orders. And a promotion." about: This is a story build to kick off some things. Building wise there's not much to it, lots of work, but in the end 'only' some recycled ideas and repetition. I hope Dukesc's The Galaxie is recognizable. And if you add some minifig hands to those flex hoses used on both ships, all is buildable - they just don't come in LDD. Stay tuned for more C&C welcome! Vive le Roi!

The keen eye of the Novitius's Captain saw how the curves of the land matched the map he had been given by his employer. Having sent his crew ashore in the rowboat, he was happy to hear they had struck gold! Though the haul held many treasures, by the time the crew and others split their shares it was a lot smaller of a portion for each man. Yet, no one was complaining! I know it is a bit late, but I figured I would post for feedback/criticism at the very least!

Dramatis Personae: Currently, on the high seas... Where are you going?!?! Head to port, not starboard!!! Follow the convoy!!! I don't know which way is what! What's up with the port and starboard stuff?! Why you can't you just say left or right?! It's just how it is! Why did we even let you steer this boat? Oh, great...now we've strayed away from the escorts... YOUR OTHER PORT!!! It appears that the Escandolians have noticed that we have strayed from the group. Or are they Escandolans? It's like the citizens of Canada. Are they Canadans or Canadians? I can never get them right. What are you talking about?!?! There's no Canada here!!! Look! It's the Great Scott! It's turning back around to protect us! We're saved! Well, that just means she'll get captured. We're not supposed to know that, yet! Don't worry, the Escandol...er...the people of Escandola will return her to us. We're not supposed to know that, either!!! TIME TRAVEL!!! @$#%%&*^*@#%%&*#$@#$#^%#$#!!! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Ahoy mateys, it's been a busy month so far, so building time was rare. Plus, somehow I haven't had the heart to build this month's MCRA results - too painful the memory of two ships lost with all hands. But, BoBS must go on! April 616, Hurricane Stepho was devastating. Oleon's Merchant Navy lost four ships to this monstrosity! When asked about the fate of La Recouvrance by the crew's relatives, the captain of the Commerce de Breshaun, which had miraculously survived the suicidal cruise, lowered his head expressing his condolences, and with a broken voice he spoke of what he had seen... the last moments of La Recouvrance. about: This is a beefed up version of the sea I used last month to tell a more fortunate story. Although not much of it is visible. Well, and Stepho was threatening my PC's resources quite menacingly Not quite happy with the background, but Bluerender unfortunatelly doesn't allow transparency, that could have been filled more precisely. And this is very much forced perspective, so I could only take one pic. Well, next MCRA story will hopefully be more cheerful again Thanks for watching, C&C welcome! Vive le Roi!

Captain's Log. February 23, 616 AE Nova Terreli in sight. The Queen has taken damage, parts burnt, front sail frazzled. Will be repaired. Cotton Lady, Fénix and Golden Snake all well. Time for profit. I have mainly copied the ships from Kai and the city layout from Phadeout. The whole voyage: -
Ahoy, mateys! Fasten seatbelts, 'cause this time it's more than just kind of a likely story March, 616. During her recent trade voyage, 'La Recouvrance' made excellent business in the ports along her route. But as fortunate as this was for her owners, she would have almost also sealed her doom. Few things in these waters manage to travel faster than 'La Recouvrance', and it turned out that 'news' about potential prey does fall in that category. On her journey home notorious pirate Val Gibbons and his 'Roach' lied in wait. And he wasn't the only one: When 'La Recouvrance's escort - the mighty 'HRS Granoleon' - engaged another pirate vessel, the 'Roach' moved to intercept. On a fast warship as the 'Roach', chances for Gibbons were good to catch up with 'La Recouvrance' and seize her before her escort could intervene. What he did not consider, however, was the determination of Oleander gun crews and Royal Marines, as they made short work of the first attacking pirate, and now arrived just in time to - exterminate the 'Roach'. And the ships only: All three ships can be build, and designing them was tons of fun. I tried to represent the classifications for the 'HRS Granoleon' (Class 5 Heavy A) and the 'Roach' (Class 5 Light A) as close as possible, even the gun count should work out. The 'sea' is quite a large area (67 32x32 baseplates ), heavily draining my PC's recources. But no crash, so yeah, almost as fortunate as 'La Recouvrance' I hope you enjoyed this little story and these little ships, thanks for watching. C&C welcome! Vive le Roi!

[SR - MCRA] It's Kind of a Likely Story
Kolonialbeamter posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Hi guys, CB4 kindly allowed me to moc up the MCRA result of his famed ship the 'Parakeet'. Somewhere in Bastion: "She did WHAT?" So, this guy walks into the bar. Pretty run down, shady character, aweful looking. And his smell! You could smell him from two miles away. Oh, this smell of rum and... like he's been living in a pig shed for the past 4 months or so. Almost knocked me out. Anyways, so this guy immediately starts drinking and after his third bottle of rum starts babbling. I mean, you've all heard of the 'Parakeet' and how she sprung a leak? So, this guy claims he knows exactly what happened that day and serves me this story: A mermaid with shades using a swordfish to saw a hole into the hull... I mean, come on! Seriously? But... the thing is... errh... the more I think about it... well, it is kind of a likely story, isn't it, lads? Lads?? I hope it's recognizable, well, it's my first time trying to 'tell' a story in a single picture, does the idea with the speech bubble work? Concerning the 'Parakeet', thanks to CB4's excellent pictures I managed to stay very true to his original, I just had to adapt a few minor details. What a lovely ship you made, CB4, and thanks again for allowing me to moc this. Well, here's some more details One last thing, in the topic title I didn't know whether to write 'Oleon' or 'Sea Rats'. Some mighty overlord may change the title if necessary. Thanks for watching -
After an exiting trip, captain Saxenhauser and his The Bright Owl finally reached port. They would have fallen prey to Garvias warship The Fallen Angel, if they didn't have Eslandolas Trovâo as escort. Here we see her docked before the sails are taken down. The crew unloads. While Saxenhauser shakes hands after a deal well struck. 60DB that will be spent wisely. In my ship FB I got some feedback that wanted an overview picture, and I also wanted to show that she is not parallel, as well as some of the aft deck (although black is a difficult shade to photograph). The second crew member had a crate in his hands before I took the pictures. I hope he didn't decide to earn a little extra for himself...

The crew of the Novitius knew this was dangerous waters, and all hands were on the rails to watch for the jagged rocks which protruded from the sea. It was the keen eye of the first mate which spotted her first, a tangle of planks and rope smashed up against the rocks. With both a mind for treasure, and a heart for the fellow seamen potentially trapped in the wreck, a rowboat was lowered to the waters and sent to further investigate. Though no signs of human life were spotted, modest goods and treasure were found on what was assessed to be the wreck of the LeGrande. As always, feedback is welcome!

On The Not-so High Seas Revon and Vasco have sailed the Aurei Lacerta as part of a Bounty run. Gold was rumored to have been found in a Oleander wreck. The rumors were true! Revon kept an eye for some of those good for nothing sea rats, while vasco went diving for Gold. The voyage was successful and they returned with a full cargo. My MCRA results MOC for the Feb. MCRA. You can catch a glimpse of the first few upgrades I made to the Aurei, but the mods aren't complete yet.
