I believe that a long walk and a calm conversation is an incredible
combination if you want to build a bridge to a successful relationship.
Architecture is a way of translating dreams into the real world.

Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots.
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down.
From Meccano to Legoland,
Here they come with a brick in their hand,
Men with heads filled up with sand,
Let's build.

So for anyone who hasn't heard yet MELO 2017 is happening at the end of this month! :D
I'm pretty excited because I wasn't able to enter any of the previous Middle Earth Lego Olympics. So I decided I would do a bit of practice and make a really small little build. Might make some more at some point before the contest.
Part of the reason I made this was to try getting better at building, so if any of you want I'm looking for comments about what I could improve and what I did well. (Not just "Nice build" comments).
I'm also curious to know who else is entering MELO this year? :)
Build for the Pick your poison category.
Criteria used in this build:
• Beaten Track: the track trough the snow between the bamboo.
• Going Alternative: I didn't use any bricks form the plant category
• Unstable Load: The norimono, a Japanese human powered transport for people is almost falling.
• Technically Useful: some tehnic panels are used for the snow.

C&C always welcome.
This is a trend apparently and I figured why not?
But yeesh, I gotta build more! This is more or less a collection of everything I've built for the past year, specifically the things I think are worth showing again. Largely, this is my Forms of Gotham collection, which has rather put me off building brick figures for a while honestly...all that said, the experience of building them and seeing people's reactions towards them at Brickworld Chicago were worth all the tens of hours I spend on them.
And All the Powers of Hell was another highlight, although to be honest it did fall to the back of my mind--despite winning the Vignette award I've been hunting for years. Still, it has a place in my heart and as such is still constructed and boxed away for BW '17. Aside from the figures Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin, its the only thing that remains of my '16 Convention tour builds.
My Alien and Predators builds are something I'm proud of, even though they totally point out how I can change focus on a dime whenever anyone mentions Predators or posts a Xenomorph. To wit, I've been secretly hive building for the past half year; building another queen, gathering eggs, makin' drones, hunting down those elusive black minifigure binoculars, all for the inevitable time when I'll need them. At the moment I'm planning on building Alien something for BW '17, although that might just be the amazing Covenant trailer speaking! So no promises yet!
Before I get into the future, I first want to note the wonderful experiences I had this year with my friends at Eurobricks, both online and especially in person, as we constructed our group collab for Brickworld, Ready Set Escargot!. We put tons of hours into a truly collaborative effort and finally getting the win was icing on the cake. As we look forward to next year's build, I hope that we can continue that awesome tradition! Incidentally, I don't have any pictures of my Snail, but I made the sand blue viking one, if anyone is wondering.

Onto the future, one of the reasons I've not appeared to be building much (specifically in the later half) of 2016, is because I'm building for 2017! Right now I'm finishing some colorful magazine builds, but I've also locked down my convention layout concept for next year, one that'll use a lot of colors I normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll-- yellow, red, and orange. Brick figures will be minimal, at least until 2018, and I'm also planning two separate series of builds of the superhero variety. Either way, I can't wait to get started!
And finally, thank you to everyone for your support!

View of Cebu city from the SM Seaside mall. I didn't notice all the cranes on top of the buildings until I started processing the photo.
Amicia and Hugo:
"Hugo! Where are you?"
"I'm here. I'm close."
"I can't see you! I'll do whatever it takes! I want... to see you."
"Are you sure?"
"You just keep on fighting! We tried that way, and it was a lie. It's not the right way; you know that."
"I don't know, Hugo!"
"It brought death, Amicia. And I brought death too! It's the mistake I made... and what I've become."
"I've seen you fight so many times. You still won't back down, will you, Amicia?"
"It's us or them! I have no choice!"
"You have a choice... but it scares you."
"We need to fix this Amicia!"
"We'll find a solution! I promise, Hugo!"
"You keep saying that. But there's only one solution now."
"You’re the only one who can stop me... from becoming a monster," Hugo said.
"You’re not a monster!"
"I will be…" replied the boy, "if I kill all I love."
Amicia learns what it is to sacrifice all she loves... and she kills her little brother who she loved so much, when he asks her to, because it was the only way to stop the Plague, or the Macula in the boy's blood would never cease killing... killing other people! And what was the life of one boy, to the lives of hundreds? What does the life of one child mean? And what does love mean? Did Amicia ever answer these questions?
And so Amicia slings the stone.
This is a collaboration between Joe (jnj_bricks) and I, built for the Labour of Love category of Brickscalibur. I haven't slept in a while so I should go to sleep now, but later you can see more of the terrain, more of the Rats' Nest, and maybe some behind the scenes. I'm really excited for this build! It looks awfully small, but I had to carry it down the stairs... and I know it weighed a lot! It's huge.
I have to mention that I was very inspired by Josh DeMoss's piece of music from the Symphony of Construction, I listened to it while I was building and it gave me the chills. And of course the music from A Plague Tale: Requiem. It was so beautiful, and touching, and deadly...
I have no words to describe A Plague Tale.
To God Be The Glory, and may you seek Him when you find yourself sad and troubled, like Amicia and Hugo, instead of getting lost...
I hope you like it!
It's finished. I seem to have forgotten to order the blue 6x6 dish that will go on those studs on the top, but otherwise it's all done bar the stickers. Sorry these photos are crap, but I don't know when I will get to take decent ones.
For my first convention, it was a blast. As for the build, I procrastinated a bunch on the middle building, but overall the diorama pleases me very much.
It was super rad meeting everyone who is tagged below, and we are planning on doing something next year (hint - hint). I helped Elijah put grass on his build for about an hour :D
I got my hands on some nice items by trading and such, and an abundance of memes were passed around. Sprue, mongolian, the free build section, and others in which we do not utter here.
I hope to see some more of you guys next year!!!!!!!!
My MOC card got cut off.
The picture is atrocious.

Pop tart and her kitties thinking about how they should paint their monsters - hmmmm a little poodle is sneaking a peek too!
Babe and I took the kids to Build-A-Bear workshop this weekend to create some fuzzy friends for momo and muse! They had so much fun picking out the clothes and watching their friend come to life! Of course babe had to pick the BIGGEST one in the entire store for our baby boy!😂 Momo wanted something smaller so she could say it was a baby! They couldn’t even wait till we got to the car before they started opening them! We need to go back because now I want one for myself😂
