A Hiawatha has just arrived into Milwaukee while the eastbound Empire Builder makes it's stop some 7+ hours late. And the delays would continue for us, as we waited 30mins for the fire department to arrive and assist a large wheelchair passenger, who couldn't get back into his wheelchair, off of the train.
Designer, architect, builder, Robin Construction does it all.
This American Robin was bathing with a mouthful on nest building materials in our little water feature in the yard.
Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, June 12, 2025
Turdus migratorius
An American Robin can produce three successful broods in one year. On average, though, only 40 percent of nests successfully produce young. Only 25 percent of those fledged young survive to November. From that point on, about half of the robins alive in any year will make it to the next. Despite the fact that a lucky robin can live to be 14 years old, the entire population turns over on average every six years.

My entry for LUGOLA's June Bronze Builder Challenge. The special element is the blue car fender element I used to frame the eye, top and bottom. It's a janky build. Lots of one stud connections and crazy SNOT going on.
After getting a red signal at Mayfair for cross traffic on the Harvard Sub, (Metra plus a UP local) Amtrak 7, the westbound 'Empire Builder' gets moving again, with ALC42 313 in the lead, and the Operation Lifesaver unit sandwiching a standard P42. In the distance, approaching Grayland, is Amtrak 337, a northbound Hiawatha Service run to Milwaukee.
Here is my custom LEGO Mario as he appears in the Super Mario Maker games. I think he's a unique addition to my collection! What do you guys think?? :p
Iron Builder model 6.
Antman is the closest approximation I can get with my parts. I wanted to use Bionicle/HF in one of my builds.

The Portland section of Amtrak's Empire Builder train #27 approaches the BNSF Cooks Siding with the 167 leadig, in Washington along the Columbia River not long after dawn on a cloudy cool morning December 30, 2019.
Amtrak#7, The Empire Builder was moving seven Amfleet cars to the Pacific Northwest to take the place of Horizon cars that have been withdrawn from service. The result was a 17 car Builder. Morton Grove IL.
Master Builders House was originally occupied by its builder, Alexander Morris, a Beaulieu builder who also managed the Beaulieu brickworks.
Shipbuilder John Darley was resident in 1747 and Master Shipbuilder Henry Adams lived there from 1749 to 1805. Henry's son Edward Adams followed from 1813 to 1849 and his widow remained in occupation until 1852. Henry Adams oversaw the building of over 50 ships for the Royal Navy, including Nelson’s favourite ship, the Agamemnon.
The building was constructed around 1729 and since 1925 it’s been a hotel, originally called the Shipbuilders House. Among the visitors to the hotel in the 1920s was Queen Mary who visited during Cowes Regatta week, and fittingly, during the Second World War the hotel was taken over by the Admiralty.

The westbound signal for SOO Tower on CP's Portal Sub stands tall while on BNSF's Glasgow Sub, Amtrak's Empire Builder makes it's Minot station stop with AMTK 2 in the lead.
An early morning, on time, Seattle section of the Empire Builder at Edmonds WA along Puget Sound.
At first I was disappointed that when I went to get this shot the train was on time and thus the light was about 30 degrees backlit, but as I look at it, it reminds me of the light you might see in an Edward Hopper painting. His works were an inspiration for me to get into photography 40 years ago and sometimes in my zeal to get a well lit train shot I forget to appreciate the art and beauty of photography. So I'm happier with it than I first thought.
Amtrak #7, the westbound Empire Builder rolls through Morton Grove IL. with a nice whistle salute and a nice looking leader.
The Empire Builder continues its snowy journey east kicking up powder along the former Milwaukee Road in St. Paul's West 7th neighborhood with plenty of power for its nine car train.

What a wild ride this has been! From my first Iron Builder round back when it was a gruelling long month to this new fast paced 2-week format. Iron Builder is a tough competition where all eyes are on the contestants, so there is no room for sloppyness along the way! (And it's damn hard to combine with a full time job sometimes!)
I'd like to thank everyone who has provided me with encouragement along the way. Be it liking my builds or providing me with comments and feedback, you are all great and you make it worth it. So thank you :)
Now what did I think of this last seed piece? Well, after getting over the initial shock I think I liked it better than the dynamite. But the blue shield holder did not give me an easy ride. For me there are two problems with it. One is that its main connection point is an axle instead of a bar, and I am in no way used to building with Technic. My collection of Technic-pieces is severely poorly sorted, and I am really bad at using those types of clunky pieces. So I often worked around that by finding other ways of attaching the shield holder that did not have to rely on Technic. The other problem with the piece? The color blue. I am not a huge fan of LEGO standard blue. It is not the color I buy the most parts in, nor is it a color I find particularly easy to work with. So those two factors where something I had to overcome during these two weeks, and I feel like I was able to pull through pretty well once I got going. Overall the piece had an interesting shape and provided the ability to put things at an angle. And I didn't even know this piece existed before I opened my envelope with them!
Iron Builder tends to bring out the best in me, and this round was no different. I am particularly pleased with a few of my builds this round, notably Jörmugandr and Blue Shelled. Both builds that play into my interests outside of the LEGO hobby, and both builds where I feel like I was able to use the seed piece in some really fitting ways. The robomaid was the most fun build though, I just love the expression the seed piece gave it.
Now it's time for a new champion to take my place. I wish you the best in the future Elias, good luck taking on your next challenger!
