2021 Recap
2021 was quite a busy year for me, but surprisingly still ended up being one of my more productive years with regards to LEGO! I ended up completing a total of 27 models, and was able to compete in several contests throughout the year.
At the top of the list is competing in Iron Builder not once, but twice! It was an honor and pleasure to face off against the incredibly talented Jayfa in February/March, and then Dan Ko in November/December. I never really thought I would have the opportunity to compete in even one IB round, so to have participated in 3 now is a bit hard to believe! And I have to say a massive thank-you to everyone who commented on builds or sent me messages throughout all of my time competing. It truly means a lot! And also a massive thank-you to Markus and Simon for doing all the behind the scenes work to make this competition possible!
As always, running the Summer Joust with Isaac and many other friends from the LEGO community was another highlight of the year. Not only did we have a record number of entries this year, but the quality was astonishing as well! It's so inspiring to see what all of you create.
Competing in the RogueOlympics for the first time was also super fun - It was one of, if not the first time I had competed in a contest with a piece limitation. I didn't expect to want to jump right into another competition after having just finished an IB round, but it proved to be really enjoyable challenge, and pushed me to build a bit differently than I was used to.
After several years, it was also so much fun to finally be able to complete a couple collabs with Isaac, and I'm already looking forward to when we are able to do another.
Overall I think this was probably my most diverse year when it comes to building - I dabbled a bit in sci-fi, steampunk, brick-built animals, life-size replicas, vehicles, microscale, characters, constraction, and even a little bit of video and stop motion (which gave me even more awe and respect for those who do stop-motion films :D).

Thank you all for continuing to inspire me through your incredible creations and for your support on all of my builds :)
Would love to hear if you had a favorite model!
