[SR - FB] Black Wolf Company Warehouse

[Corweena]

With the success of Lock, Stock, and One Smoking Barrel in New Nassau, Ragnarrson and the Black Wolf Company have deemed the settlement suitable to expand their operations on Isla de Barro. They have further expanded the Docks, to now reach their newest property, the Black Wolf Company warehouse. The warehouse was built to be the trade hub of New Nassau. While Flintlock deals in weapons and arms, the warehouse is where individuals and pirate crews alike can go to purchase stores for voyages, or to maybe procure some imported products from Halos. 

Spoiler

I initially built this as a 32x32 base with just the front of warehouse, but I wanted more detail, so I added the back portion. Then, I just decided to go all out for a 48x48 size, and added the wooden building and rock side piece. 

 

Here is a little closer look at some of the details in and around the warehouse....

 

BWC sailors unloading their boat to restock the warehouse.

A few Natives stand outside chatting, while two BWC soldiers guard the front gate.

Gifts from the natives in honor of their trade agreement 

 

What's through the gate?

 

A secondary exit, and some chests of booty. 

 

That's about it for this one. This is probably the biggest project I've taken on thus far, and it definitely stretched some of my brick collection with certain colors. This is also part of the reason why the white roof isn't complete all the way to the back, as I ran out of white flat plate pieces. But, it also makes viewing the interior easier. 

C&C welcome as always!

another beauty from you. The classic feel and the way you build really reminds me and brings me back to those nostalgic feelings. This is exactly what I personally like and images for New Nassau.

It looks as if it was meant to be like this to see into the interior, no worries.

 

Chapeau! Keep up the good work!

It's always nice too see so many things going on in a MOC! Enlarging it was definitely a good idea!

I agree, expanding it was a great idea. All the details are very cool and the scene gives a sense of busyness without being over crowded.

Thanks! I definitely put a good amount of thought into this one, over multiple iterations to finally get it right. Especially being something this large, I wanted to make sure it had enough detail so it didn't look "empty".

Thank you gentlemen! I was initially worried about size for licensing, then I remembered the Sea Rat 50% discount . And being able to add all that extra detail definitely improved the overall build tenfold.

Very nice build! As others have said, it has a lovely classic feel.

One improvement would be to add a bit of texturing to the ground and floors, a few tiles and plates here and there would make this look even better!

Nice build. Good to see your company growing again. Nice minifigs posing, and that ramp reminds me of these elevated baseplates from castle sets, it gives me an idea about how to use them, thanks.

Yeah, that's actually something I mentioned in my "Docks of New Nassau" build. I currently have very few gray tiles. At some point I'll be making a Bricklink order with a nice selection of tiles so I can create textured floors. I've currently been doing a good amount of army building, and most of the minifigure sellers don't have a great selection of other parts.

Yeah, those base plates were my inspiration for the ramp. Particularly the Imperial Trading Post set, which I drooled over in the catalogs so much as a kid.
