it might be getting old by now, but that's okay, that's where i fit in. won't tag anyone. do as you see fit.
1 - i dislike capital letters, i find them aesthetically unpleasing. i find them highly overated, and overused.
2 - i dislike photos of myself, i prefer to stay quite private, but have told myself i should be more open.
3 - i wanted to be an architect. this was in the days when very few girls took drafting in the basement classroom with all the high school boys. i was too shy. man, what a stupid reason not to do something i really should have done.
4 - i have a useless degree in italian literature. not that the degree is useless, it's that i didn't use it. it seems i'm not alone - i've noticed the trend with other afols.
5 - i have studied 6 languages. i speak 4 quite fluently, the 5th not too badly (the most recent one - danish), and the 6th terribly.
6 - we were 4 girls growing up. toys only came into the house if they had play value for 4 girls. i was the only one who wanted lego and meccano, lincoln logs and anything else to build with. i got dolls. so i built them houses.
7 - most popular culture passes over my head like a jetliner. i'm older than most afols, and hang around with afols 10-15 years younger than me. if i have a dumb look on my face, it's cause i have no idea what you're referring to. not too sure that has everything to do with age.
8 - apparently i don't look my age. we have good genes in the family. none of us look our age. which is why, maybe, people expect me to get these cultural references. one afol friend reminds others that i don't get that kind of stuff. it saves a lot of explaining, so i just put a dumb look on my face. ;-)
9 - i can ramble when writing. 8 is enough.
These are mid-construction photos showing how the scales on the koi fish were designed to lay over each other. The technique involves placing D-SNOT bricks apart in half-stud spacing and then twisting their alignment about 15 degrees off center. This allow the tiles to lay on top each other without stress. It is a technique I originally used when creating the tail in Medusa's Lair.
It won't of course be on such tall pillars as there will be material all around it. For now this is to give me an idea of the rough position and scale. A few things still out of scale (like the floor separation is slightly to large (by a plate or two)). Part acquisition is going to be a nightmare, never mind transporting this monstrosity when it's done.
Really happy with how this turned out. I made a short video about it if you want to see me try to swoosh it around.
so the first troops of the horde had started to arrive outside the capital, they were putting their demands about sparing the city and it´s inhabitants if they abandoned the city...
they got hot oil as an a reply...
That and Rotting fish, the Fish-Mongrel tried to make business with the enemy, something worth a jail as a traitor but the defence forces let him keep on selling from the wall, since they argued that it was biological warfare when costumers threw up coins while the fish monger tossed down those well ripe fermented bacterial bombs of former sea creatures!!!
I came up with the idea of creating diorama of mages dueling within a alchemist’s laboratory in October of 2024. The Frost Wizard was already built when Brickscalibur came around with a similar category. I then built the Flame Witch and entered the two models in that competition just for fun. The end goal was always to place them in a large diorama along with a cowering Alchemist and their familiars. I had lots of fun coming up with things to place on the shelves and creating the Chimera trophy over the fireplace. I even added a microscale version of my Mesusa’s Lair model from last year as an Easter Egg.
Did a little sidewalk scene on my 18x62 base using LEGO Friends sets, a City set and miscellaneous parts from inventory
Intended as a decorative element for my SHIP, I thought it looked a lot like a small micro ship. Not the best, but I thought I'd share it anyway.
