This build is specifically inspired by the novel "Ilse Witch", the first in a trilogy aptly entitled "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara". These books are part of Terry Brook's classic "Shannara" series of novels (some of which were adapted into a popular TV series as well) - this was the series that proved fantasy could be accessible and commercially successful with mainstream audiences after the breakout success of Tolkien's Middle Earth novels. Unlike many other fantasy series, it's set in a world which sees substantial technological and magical innovation over the course of 32 novels and thousands of years.
The Jerle Shannara is the fastest and most advanced airship ever built, and her crew of the Jerle Shannara are voyaging west from the Elven capital city of Arborlon, across the Blue Divide, to the uncharted continent of Parkasia, in search of the lost Blue Elfstones, guided only by a mysterious map washed ashore with a lost prince, their last known user.
The crew have been selected from across the many races of the Four Lands, for their unique talents.
• From Paranor, the Druid's Keep, comes one-armed Walker Boh, the last of the druid order.
• From the Southlands, comes highlander Quentin Leah, heir to the mysterious Sword of Leah, and his childhood friend Bek Rowe.
• From the Eastlands, comes the dwarf woodsman Panax, and the mysterious shapeshifter Truhls Rohk.
• From the Westland elves, come Prince Ahren Elessedil, Captain Ard Patrinell of the Home Guard, the tracker Tamis.
• From the Wing Hove, the elf Hunter Predd and his mighty roc, Obsidian.
• From the Rover communities of the Westlands, the ship's captain Redden "Big Red" Alt Mer, his twin sister Rue "Little Red" Meridian, and the mysterious seer Ryer Ord Star.
The airships of the Four Lands are solar-powered and require active thrust to stay aloft. The sails, called "light sheaths", absorb solar energy, which is channeled through special rigging, the "radian draws", into the parse tubes which house the diapson crystals. It is these crystals which store the solar energy and distribute it through the ship's thrusters.
The Jerle Shannara comes with many play features, making it not only a display piece for adult collectors, but also a fun playset!
• The captain's cabin in the front of the ship has been converted into two smaller cabins with folding bunks to account for the unusual crew. Captain "Big Red" shares the port cabin with Prince Ahren Elessedil, and his sister, "Little Red", shares the starboard cabin with Ryer Ord Star. A privacy curtain separates the two cabins on the aft side of the mast, and sliding panels allow access to a shared washroom in the fore of the cabin.
• A removable platform between the main hull and port pontoon provides landing space for Obsidian to roost between scouting flights.
• Other crew members can wrap themselves in their cloaks and sleep in the pontoons.
• The ship is armed with a complement of ballistae to defend against hostile airships, and the ramps may be lowered to send over a boarding party.
• The galley occupies the center of the ship and features a long table where the crew can dine together, or study their maps and charts.
• The storage room in the aft of the ship has fresh water, food, the armory, and spare parts to make repairs on the long voyage.
• The rope ladder may be raised and lowered to take on supplies and passengers.
• The ship's wheel in the pilot box really controls the thrusters on either side of the ship's rudder, and the capstan hauls up the dual anchors!
• The masts are grippable so crew members can climb up into the rigging.
• Obsidian's wings fold and unfold realistically to move between flying and roosting positions.
Set consists of approximately 2700pcs, including 12 minifigures. The ship is quite spacious and this number of figures does not feel crowded - as you can see from the renderings, they spread out quite nicely.

Right, the showing off trumpet hasn't had a good blast in ages (not since OMG squirrel event) so here we go with the first bit of showing off in 2012.
The February 2012 edition of Advanced photographer Magazine has a feature article about my creative still life work with the lensbaby.
Study flowers in a new way with Jason Swains lensbaby work.
"At this rather chilly time of year, you can visit the nearest florist for all sorts of natural photographic subjects that you can shoot in the warmth of your home. However, you might want to take a more creative approach and invest in a gadget like a Lensbaby for images with a difference. It works brilliantly on subjects, indoors and out, as you can see here..."

I'll be bringing my own Advanced Heroica rules and scenarios to BrickWorld Chicago 2012 and I might play it with a few people if the interest is there. There's no guarantee that it will happen, but anyone who's interested can reply here to let me know. Please read the rest of this description first before replying, as it's important stuff to know...
My rules are still a work-in-progress, but they're pretty robust already and everyone who has played so far has enjoyed it. I incorporated most of the original rules and added a lot of other stuff, inspired by other board games and a little D&D. Some of the ideas were developed in conjunction with a friend of mine who's a published game designer.
There's no need for players to know the regular Heroica rules in advance, but general board-gaming experience would help. If you have played Heroica out of the box and think the rules are way too simplistic, you might like my rules.
The game is meant to be played cooperatively with a GM (me) running the show and controlling monsters. Don't get involved if you don't want to cooperate.
The scenario pictured above can take 4-6 hours to play to completion (there's a lot more to it than what you can see in this photo). It can easily be split up and played over multiple sessions. I also have another, shorter scenario with less bells and whistles.
Depending on how many people actually reply to this, it's possible that there will be too many interested people to participate. Spectating would be ok too.
Replying here does not guarantee you the opportunity to play. I'll be deciding who plays and who doesn't, and will probably favor people I know (because I've met you or because I know you by reputation).
Production: 105 (1964-1969)
Specific history of this car:
GT40 P/1079 was delivered new from Ford Advanced Vehicles (FAV) as one of the few privately entered factory built lightweight racing cars to Mr Jean Blaton from Brussels, Belgium. Compared to the road cars (which are today often rebuilt and used as race cars), the competition cars had a stronger race spec engine, a smaller, but improved clutch and a 140 litre fuel tank. They also featured a lighter flywheel and 25% stiffer suspension all around. Further the race cars were missing its interior trim, the door pockets, a radio, the heater and exhaust silencers compared to the normal road cars. As this car was one of the very late cars built by John Wyer, it belongs to the last series of GT40 which had slightly modified body parts and was lighter than any of the earlier cars.
The original invoice, which comes with the car, proves that Blaton received the yellow car on the 20th April 1968 in Ostende, Belgium for the Ecurie Francorchamps. This was just in time to put the car on a transporter for the 1.000 km race in Monza. The drivers Willy Mairesse and “Jean Beurlys” (the racing name of Jean Blaton) qualified the car 6th on the grid, but had to stop the race after 89 laps due to wheel problems. The where still qualified 7th overall and 2nd in class! The next race for 1079 were the 1.000 km of Spa-Francorchamps, were the car was entered by the Belgium Claude Dubois in the name of the Ecurie Francorchamps, still in its Belgium racing colors. The car was again driven by Mairesse and “Beurlys” who qualified the car in third position, only beaten by the local hero Jacky Ickx in another GT40 and a experimental Ford on pole. The start went very well but the Ecurie Francorchamps had to retire after 45 laps.
For the 1968 24 hours of Le Mans, the car was once more entered by Claude Dubois in the name of his team Ecurie Claude Dubois. The original and stamped (18 March 1968) entry form and application forms which are coming with the car, are stating Dubois, “Beurlys” and Mairesse as drivers. After some technical problems during the tests, the ended up in qualifying, now with a fresh engine, 10th on the grip. Shortly before the start of the 24 hours race it started to rain. Mairesse drove off first, but lost the car in the rain and crashed it at high speed on the Mulsanne as a door flew open.
After the accident the car remained untouched for a while before it went to Switzerland where it was restored. In the late eighties/early nineties the car was sold to a French based investment funds including some other high valued cars. The car was then offered at a French auction in 1994 and also stayed in France until the last owner bought it in the late nineties. During a further restoration the car has been fully stripped and some wrong parts have been replaced or corrected. The car was then showed to Ronnie Spain, author of the book “GT40: An individual history and race record”, who immediately recognised the car and stated it in writing as the original, ex-Jean Blaton car.
Since then, the GT40 was successfully driven at several Le Mans Classic races since 2002. It also raced on various Tour Auto events and Goodwood Revivals with great success. 1079 is probably one of the best documented GT40 race cars until today. Not only is there a more than 400 pages expertise by Ronnie Spain, but also a full technical expertise certifying the authenticity of the chassis. We are very proud to offer this rare and original racing Ford GT40 in race-ready condition. Only very seldom do original competition GT40 appear on the market as most of the cars which are found in historic motorsport are modified road cars.

I was approched by Advanced Photographer to feature my work in the portfolio section and to use some images in the technique article of the magazine, which has been released today. This has been a great experience for me and a whole new learning experience too!
It still seems a bit crazy that after 6 months messing around at this light painting lark I find myself here. So a big thanks to all the like minded nocturnal lightpainters that hang out on flickr for the constant niceness that comes my way. And a massive thanks to Charlotte and the team at Advanced Photographer for the opportunity to feature my work.
I have put the PDF's on my website and these can be seen in the about me section here:
