Decastio Island

[Tordenskjold]

Made a first try for a mill. got the idea from a mill not far from me. will work on this and make it better.

Water come in by the brown(wooden)canal and hit the black blades and make them turn. and that will turn a big stone that crush the corn to flour.

Will add more after i get it better.

Im going home tomorrow or thursday. and staying home for a while. im about to have a operation and thats why i havent been here or worked much with lego in the last weeks. have a lot to do in my house before they cut in my arm. but bought alot of lego so i have something to do while i get well again *sweet* *sweet* .

Those are some brilliant houses!

I'd love to see them in real LEGO. Will you build them in LEGO?

Perhaps you could make some instructions for some of these buildings?

I really love them... Simple, but beautiful!

Thanks Mr Tiber *sweet* It feels good to get nice comments like that *y*

I have plans of building them in real lego too. just need a LOT of lego first.

And im working on some sort of manual/instr for them, will be more easy for me too when im building.

Ive made an attempt of building my first house now. this one.

will post more when i can. dont have a normal internet connection here at home. Bj

Hi mr Phred- im sorry but that brick is new to me. do you have a pic/ drawing of what you meant?

[Governor Broadside]

I'm sure he meant to put one on each of the red studs exposed near the chimney. What I would do is build some slopes into the chimney to make that area look better.

Is that a custom made brick? look like a normal brick that have been modified to a sort of slope?

I found it. look intr . will have to try that :)

It's an official Lego part; it's fairly new.

Hi mr Broadside. Is this what you meant by adding slopes to the chimney? I found the new 1x1 slopes and they look intr but i think this too look quite good

I would do it the way you did it here. The 1x1 slope isn't quite tall enough to look as good! The 1x1 slope is a great piece though. I have used them in several builds.

Yup that's exactly what i meant X-D

It's part # 50746 on bricklink and peeron.

They're available in red at bricklink.

It's a 1x1 sloped brick that's 2/3 of a brick high.

Although i don't know how the slope of this piece will match up with the other sloped bricks.

It shouldn't match up actually, since that part is 2/3 brick high, while the other slopes are an entire brick high.

Ive added some new houses to the island now.

Tavern

And a Version of the mill i made in mlcad

and awooden outpost to the north side

more to be seen at my homepage: DECASTIO

I'm really fond of the interiors of these buildings.

Nice to see that the number of buildings on Decastio Island are growing.

[Tordenskjold]

the semaphore station is buildt now.

Yesterday i started working of a dock or what the english word is :-$ . its not much yet, most a sort of see how i want it.

the white house will have two floors, the upper one will be in same hight as the town. so a boat can be unloaded and goods liftet up bu the rope and into the upper floor and then transportet into town if wthay need to do that. at the left there will be a crane i think. above the brown doors. more will come. this is just a beginning.

[Tordenskjold]

Been working a bit on my harbour/ dock area this weekend. its far from completed but a bit better than my last version. (click on the first pic to see ekk that i will upload about this.

tried to make a crane. this have two ropes. can lif or lower the crane arm and take in or give out on the lifting rpe

[zouave]

Your dock is coming along nicely.

[Capn Frank]

Nice work so far Bj

[Tordenskjold]

Thanks folks :) *sweet* i'm working on that harbour every weekend now. its my 1. priority now. hopefully i will have that more complete soon

I really like your harbor/dock.

Its a good idea to make the part in the back a bit higher.

Looks very realistic that way. Like it is build against a hill.

And those building also look very nice.

Especially this first one on the left (the stockade) looks good.
