"The Pirates' Chronicles"
« Reply #10 on: June 19, 2008, 02:17:53 »


Since I live "in the islands," I want to know more about Frenam. For instance, where, specifically, and why did he meet his demise?

And, how is it that Joe is a "freeman" during the time of the rum trade? And, where has Joe taken Frenam's skull?

Lots of questions to be answered.


They will be answered in time ;D master Rich ...

Hello, Playmofriends!

Here it is two sequences that I had shot as soon as the third playmodelivery arrived ...

As I wrote somewhere else, this week I'll be moving, so know the creatures of heaven what will be of the week ... (work + taking things from here two floors down ... -- which's where I'm moving to ... It may look easy, but in the end, we'll have a lot of work, because we'll do it ourselves here ... & Right now that my father had to travel, because of work! ... Anyway!)

So, here I go with the sequence of "The Pirates".

I intend to shoot a little sequence of the episode when Carpenter meets young Gus (the boy), but it didn't go as I'd like to, so I'll jump to the next part, and maybe later I'll do the previous one.

I give you, therefore,

"The Pirates & The Map"
Introduction to "Pirates against Pirates"

Hm ... It took a bit longer than I expected to wrap up the first part, & weekend's come to the end. Second part will have to wait a bit :-[

Well ... See you!

Ah : & Let me know what you think about this first part of the story, please! :)

LOL I somehow missed the new episodes Gus, I think they appeared while I was in Ireland with no internet access.

There were very few commentaries. (None to the last three ...)

Either it people missed it, because I published many stories in the same thread,
or general opinion wasn't much inclined to them. I don't know.

At least someone likes it, so that I can continue. (I was going to ... Therefore, it can continue without me feeling that I'm being boring ... There are plans for this story that I have to see complete ;D ) & A few er ... funny surprises. (Maybe it won't be funny to everyone, it's funny to me ...)

Since you liked it, I'll publish the director's cut of "A Book Delirium", later ...

[Ps. I hope the same doesn't happen with Elmo & Fletcher's sequences of "Fletcher's trip", which will all be along the same thread ...]

Ther plot thickens...

I'm starting to need a "cast of characters" list, with pictures. There's a couple of people mentioned that I don't think we've seen, though this may all come clear in time.

I intend this to be a bit less theatrical than Elmo & Fletcher, Martin ...
Don't worry much if you find names you can't recognize. In time, you'll get what matters.

Thanks for [the] feedback, by the way ... :)
[Very important :yup:]

Hey Gus,

you're very welcome, and I hope we haven't overburdened you with Playmo so you have nowhere to store it all  ;D

Im lookign forward to spotting the new arrivals in your stories!

cheers, Martin


Most of them have names, already, Martin.

The keychain won't go in the stories, because I called him "young Vinegar", and I imagine him as the one they call the old (Billy) Vinegar ...

The lass (blondie one) has a name, already.

By the way, the two girls will give me a ... more beautiful touch, to "The Pirates' Chronicles"! ;)

I hope I can begin shooting soon, but I have to structure a few things before, and see where I go on from, because now there's plenty of people to shoot.

(But there's a main line of story, that will appear soon, that is set from the beginning, when I got set 3939 ;D , which is the search of the boy for his brother ...)


Cheers!

Gus

A large percentage of my fun with Playmobil is thinking up the stories, even if they never actually get told in photo form. That was pretty much how I played with all toys when I was a kid, thinking up stories.

D'oh, I was posting a reply and navigated away from the page by iatake!

I ead the story last night Gus, but couldn't make sense of it - I do now though, so it was just me being too tired to read it properly.

I like the use of the mirror as stage dressing, and the marble table - you do very well with your props and backgrounds. I also like the klicky eye-level view, puts the viewer in amongst the action.

I have a feeling that Aubrey, Joe and Gus will have more problems before they take delivery of their boats.

Glad they got through this meeting without bloodshed, it was touch and go there for a while.


Now I go through all three parts of the map story, I see it was Italian Bart eavesdropping on Aubrey's conversation with Joe - I missed that before.

So Dan Davies is going to"acquire" a couple of boats for Aubrey, Joe and Gus, but Jim and Italian Bart are likely to throw a spanner in the works somehow.


This story and plot are really developing now Gus - would it be OK for me to split this thread into story posts and comment posts? It might be easier for people to follow the action, which is really hotting up, with eight different characters, not counting Frenum and Sir Elmo the cat.
