Once the major cities in the DRC and Zambia had been retaken, the only Eurasian strongholds remaining were their bases scattered throughout Central Africa. Some of these were located near a few of the major cities, but many were in remote and distant locations, having helped kept them hidden prior to Operation Isandlwana. To ensure Central Africa remained under UFA control we knew it was imperative to stomp out the Eurasian presence at these bases and preemptively end any chance at them reigniting the war from within. Multiple strike teams consisting of Oceania Advanced Infantry were again called in after their exemplary performance at the port of Soyo and airstrips throughout the region. Led by ranking members of the UFA, these teams infiltrated all the various Eurasian bases, killing the soldiers and higher ranking officers.
After we had taken out the Eurasian presence in Kinshasa the final mission of Operation Cetshwayo was taking out the Eurasian bases. My squad and I were sent on from Kinshasa up to the base near Kisangani, while other strike teams were deployed at the other bases. Our objective was simple: infiltrate the base and kill everyone. Then, destroy the base so as to make sure no one else could use the remaining supplies. This would be the final blow to Eurasia’s efforts in Central Africa, and with it we would be able to annex the DRC and Zambia, using their resources to further the UFA’s strength.

EPILOGUE:
Operation Cetshwayo was over, and a resounding success. Eurasia’s presence in Central Africa was completely pushed out, with no remaining bases or forces left in the DRC or Zambia. All that remained were a few rough militant and rebel groups that had received funding from Eurasia before the start of the war, and without Eurasia’s continued presence these groups would be able to be easily eliminated as well. UFA casualties had been very low, and the alliance with Oceania had proven extremely useful as their operatives had been highly successful on the specialized objectives they were called in for. After taking the cities of the DRC and Zambia, the UFA also now had control of much of sub-Saharan Africa, and the resources gained from their invasion would be invaluable in continuing their ascent up the world power chain.

Decently happy with this scene, I like most of it a lot except for the window on the left, the foliage outside that didn't turn out as I had wanted. However I'm quite happy with the lighting for this and most of the rest of it, hope you all like it and that you enjoyed these three scenes for this story!

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!
The westbound Empire Builder is seen here departing Union Station just a few minutes behind schedule at CP Morgan.
Last weekend I attended Comic Con Amsterdam, to display pop-culture inspired LEGO models together with eight other builders. I took part of my movie vehicle collection and had a blast.
No words can express my joy when few hours ago I’ve been named LEGO Builder of the Year 2019 by The Brothers Brick, the world’s no. 1 source for LEGO news, reviews, and fan creations.
It’s an incredible goal to me. Thanks a bunch to The Brothers Brick Team for this special award and thanks to Rod Gillies (Senior Contributor) for the wonderful article and for the description of my MOCs.

There was no better way to end the year.
Thank you all!

The original builders of this 1880's livestock barn are unknown, but the garage & carriage house were built between 1912 to 1915. It is reported to be the first electrified farmstead in Kankakee County. The unique architecture between barn, house & garage & carriage house was created by the University of Illinois Architectural Department. The Flower Basket pattern also known as the Confederate Basket was made by women of the Raus community near Shelbyville, Tennessee to raise funds for Confederates.

A collage of 'The Builder' Giraffe No.13 by Artist Paulina Porebska. November, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand. I was doing collages for blipfoto and didn't think to put them up on Flicker but well from now on as they take so long to do!
Giant fibreglass Giraffe sculptures, reaching 2.5 metres high, are now standing tall on the streets, parks and public spaces of Christchurch and surrounding areas until 24 January 2015. At the end of the public art exhibition, in February, the Giraffes will be auctioned so we can all be part of raising money for local charities and turn the city’s Summer of fun into a helping hand for those who are in need.
