C2E2 Appreciation Build

Good morning, everyone. I was fortunate enough to go to C2E2 for the first time last weekend and it was incredible. Every aspect of it was wonderful and I thought I'd do some random builds to show my appreciation for the awesomeness that was C2E2. The first random build was a creeper in the middle of Pinkerton...


I'm already working on the third Weekly Challenge which is a castle-type building right next to Hotel During, the big building straight across from the creeper. I finished the creeper in about 20-25 minutes, but in about three hours I only got most of the face done on the castle. It's a big one this one. Since it's such a huge project and it's going to take longer than the big window tower thing (which I need to name) and Pinkerton High, I thought I'd just start posting progress pictures. So I have two buildings that I have to name and a building that I'm building, which also has to be named. It'll be a lot easier to identify the buildings as Pinkerton grows if we're not constantly saying "you know, that really big building with the windows".

Weekly Challenge #2: Pinkerton High

As promised, here is the second Weekly Challenge for us here at Llama's Moustache...
 
 
We will be naming the school building PINKERTON HIGH.
 

Day 5 in Pinkerton: Hotel During

Good morning, everyone. Today we'd like to introduce one of the newest buildings in Pinkerton: Hotel During. Totally random name choice, by the way.

Here you can see our little farming area at the bottom and on the left you see the Weekly Challenge tower thing and the random building I built that really has no purpose, in the middle you see the hospital and police station, and on the left you can see Hotel During.

P.S - New weekly challenge has been chosen and completed already. Will post inspiration in a minute and completed product on Sunday. :-)

Here is the original building that inspired the challenge:

Day 4 in Pinkerton: PPD

The Pinkerton Police Department, ladies and gentlemen...



Weekly Challenge #1

     Good morning, everyone. Pinkerton is still under construction, but I haven't been able to really hunker down and work on it. Rest assured that it is still a work in progress and we haven't forgotten about it. The Pinkerton Police Department is up and now our lovely town has a hotel as well.
     I noticed this morning that the construction of Pinkerton and my random days with Donut Man, we don't really have anything else to post. So I've come up with an idea. I love looking at pictures of the amazing things people build on Minecraft and while I was looking through some yesterday I just really wanted to try to build some of them. In that same thought process, I decided that I'd try to build some of my favorites. I'm going to attempt to do a weekly challenge, but I do have a tendency to start something and then it just kind of sits there and gets dusty and lonely and sad. I'm going to start the Llama's Moustache's Weekly Challenge anyway.
     So here it is, the first challenge...

Hanging with Donut Man

Today I'm hanging out with our friend The Donut Man. He's the one in the tuxedo.

Day 3 in Pinkerton: Reception Overcrowding


Good morning, everyone. I'll be building a police station in Pinkerton today, but I thought I'd give you guys a little update on the happenings in Pinkerton over the weekend. Dr. Shenone has decided he wanted to look over the farm area instead so he ran away from the hospital, leaving these poor patients with this one creeper. Or maybe it's this one poor creeper with all of these patients, not really sure who's in danger here.

So stay tuned to see the Pinkerton Police Department. Tomorrow will be hotel-building day!

Meet Ginger Pig



 This is Ginger Pig, my Minecraft alter ego. The name came from one very energetic day of playing Angry Birds: Star Wars. One of the pigs looks to have a ginger moustache and eyebrows so naturally I chose to be that pig because I too have strawberry blond hair. So the whole time Llama, Llama Mama and I were playing we kept shouting "Gingah Pig!". I only have the basic Minecraft skins right now and who better to be than the beautiful Scotsman in the kilt with the red hair. I introduced him to Llama and The Badger and they both approved.

Day 2 in Pinkerton: Meet Dr. Shenone

Good evening, everyone. Moustache, here. Yesterday I promised you that I'd be posting about the attempted building of the hospital in Pinkerton. Well... I'm happy to report that it was a semi-success. And I didn't even have any help from Llama.

View from my house. Herd of sheep photobombing while Mr. Enderman is busy stalking someone else.
I made the reception area, complete with chairs and then made the upstairs with beds for all of the patients. The entire building was over-run by creepers, zombies, skeletons, spiders, and Mr. Enderman himself.



Dr. Shenone has quite a few patients already.

So Pinkerton Hospital is up and running... sort of. What does day 3 have in store? The Pinkerton Police Department. We'll see how well that goes.

Welcome to Pinkerton

Hello, I am the "Moustache" half of the Llama's Moustache and while I created a new Minecraft world, I thought how awesome would it be if we could share our creations with you guys. Today is day 1 in Pinkerton, my new superflat world. I've never actually played in a superflat world before so this should be interesting. I set out to build my first house - I'm notorious for building a lot of unnecessarily elaborate houses.

The first floor of my first house. Everybody wave hello to Mr. Enderman who is photobombing as usual.
I have two stories done and the obsidian basement I started with. Now I've never been too ambitious when it comes to my Minecraft time. I just build to pass the time, usually creating things that are crazy and pretty useless as Llama and our friend the Badger pointed out the other day. My creations are usually just a huge waste of space. So I decided to try something different with Pinkerton. I chose a superflat world as I have tasked myself with the building of a city. And then I got distracted by this beauty outside of my newly finished home.


It took me ages to figure out how to tame him because I don't bother taming animals at all, but there was just something about this horse that made me change my mind. I finally tamed him, saddled him, fenced him and crafted a name tag for him. Everyone say hello to Spartacus. Now I could have stopped there, but that's not my style. No. I thought Spartacus seemed lonely and needed company so I tamed him a lady friend. I named her Ophelia. They had a baby who I named Rapunzel. Yes, after my favorite Disney Princess. And then as I began creating my city I found this magnificent black horse and I just had to have it. I named him Kal-El. He and Rapunzel had a baby who has yet to be named, but looks just like Kal-El so I'll probably name it Jor-El. Spartacus and Ophelia had another baby while I was introducing Kal-El to Rapunzel and it has yet to be named either.

On day 2 in Pinkerton I'll be attempting to build a hospital complete with a doctor villager. Wish me loads of luck because I may just start taming more horses and get even more distracted.


Love,
Moustache
