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.
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.
Planetary Outpost, a modern rendition of the Classic Space theme, featuring a fully enclosed base with removable roof and opening walls to play inside, with five manually sliding inner doors, detachable solar panels and communications array, rebuildable insides, buggies for exploration, a helpful robot, an excavation area, mysterious crystals and minerals, and enough parts left over for a contagion scenario… all done with 1,978 pieces.

Pictures from the Swebrick LEGO® event at Flygvapenmuseum in Linköping this weekend where some of the most skilled LEGO® creators in Sweden gathered to show their creations.
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.
This MOC depicts the legendary Medusa defending the temple ruins of Minerva. The build is 20” wide, 30” deep, stands 19.5” tall, and consists of 14619 parts. Medusa herself measure 5' 8" if fully expanded. This was a fun creation involving lots of hinge bricks and round end plates to create those curves. The 1x1 tooth parts are turned around 15 degrees off center in order to create that layered look of snake scales.
Happy birthday to my #BFF @stubot!

in the divided capital city both the Mage Faction and the Prince Albert faction, prepared for war with the Barbarian army already reaching the first outposts of the city, then all the sudden the lookout in a tower, started screaming: ALARM! Red Alert!!! Two small Dragons are walking towards the city!!!
all Man-at-arms, knights, Feudal Levy, the fire brigade, the bowmen and all sorts of city defence started running about, all screaming dragons, the screaming attracted the attentions of the leaders of the two factions, The Mage-King And Prince Albert!
...at first the mage was really afraid that it was the dragon from the under-city cavity that finally came for it´s revenge from way back then... He hardly dared to go up in to the lookout, but he gathered inter power and stamina, just so that he would not look like a coward to his subjects...
When he came up to the tower Prince Albert was already there, He said:
- Mein adversary, since I am in a truce mit you, I will let you peek through my enhancing spectacles I inherited from mein dead Mutter!!!
- The Wizard said, ok, what is there to see? why are you so calm?
- Well peek in the richtung towards those dots on the landstrasse leading toward this gate, ein Grün and ein Rot punkten!
- The Wiz peeked in the direction the Prince was pointing!
Then he started laughing and the two competing men told their two factions to relax their alarm and start preparing for the barbarian horde advancing towards the city instead!
then the two men and some followers went down to the city gate to greet the two dragons...
The Dragons was very tiny, just slightly taller than a standard man...
The dragons snarled with a boyish and girlish voices in one single voice:
- grrr, we are dragons, please give us loads of gold and all the sugar in the magazines of your city or Grrr we will burn it down to the core and eat all the people GRRRR!!!
Alberts was the first to reply to the "horrible treats" made by the dragons...
he said: Ha, ha, sehr süß!!!
Then the Wizard-King said: Ha, ha, Great suits younglings, have you made them your self? actually I invite you to live in my dungeon I will feed you for your services, because I think we might get to have some future use for you guys, I will feed you and train you.... yes... and anyhow I don´t think you have any choice. since from where ever you might have come there is no possibility for you to go right now, since this city is slowly getting encircled by a barbarian Horde...
The Dragons, started to talk with a less monster-like voices:
- so you guy don´t think we are dragons then???
