Benjamin Calvetti
WIP #1
Hello everyone!
So, for the past year or so, things have been pretty busy, and I've barely had time to even touch my Lego collection. School has been super stressful and crazy, and it's just something that needs to be first over Lego for now. But even when I have been able to build, I've struggled with actually being able to build anything. My brain freezes every time I try. A long time ago I posted a pic of a WIP I was working on, but I have since destroyed that, and I'm starting over. I think what stumped me was the fact that I was trying to build something without starting with a good base, which was probably the most stupid decision I could have made haha.
I am now working on something similar, although this time I didn't build a single thing until I had "solid" base (I say "sold" because it's not incredibly strong by itself, but once there are bricks on it it will be). Now, I might be trying to do something really crazy, especially since I haven't been able to build, but I'm trying to do it anyway. For the people that know me from years ago, I was a part of the LoM. Heck, I don't even know what the status is on that awesome RPG group (if it's still active or not), but I wanted to finish my story. I don't care if anyone reads it or even remembers my story, I just want to finish it, you know?
So! That's the plan for the next few weeks. Since school is the top of my priorities on the weekdays, I have no time to build then. But! I can usually get in a few hours on the weekends. I'm all done for now, so it will have to sit for a few days before I can touch it again.
Anyway, this is just a WIP of what I have so far. As you can probably tell, I'm planning on a castle (Kilas Dirth to be specific... you know... from that ancient story I wrote so long ago? :P). In the background, you can see an outline of the two towers (in grey plates) that will make up the castle, but hopefully I'll have some more walls and stuff behind it. Should look good if I can do it. :)
There isn't really enough built to be asking for input, in my opinion, but maybe I'm wrong. Boulders look pretty sick, though, although this isn't a great picture, so sorry about that. :P I mainly posted this because I told my friend Graeme I'd post a picture of it this weekend. Sorry I'm a little late pal haha. Huge shout out to this guy for being a great encourager (even if you didn't realize it, Graeme). His kind words really inspired me to try again and see if I could remember what little talent I had before. Thanks so much for believing in me Graeme!!
Soli Deo Gloria!

PS: So I may have been inactive in terms of building, but I have been buying pieces. :P Found a great deal for 1x2 sand green plates, and I got a ton. Also bought a few hundred 2x2 light bley tiles; the only thing I'm really worried about is the castle itself. Hopefully I have enough bricks to actually build it all.
