Sarlina's Cottage
Sarlina was always an adventurous person, right from childhood. she was brought up in a small cottage in the village of grim hollow on the Dark Isle of Avalonia, with her two loving parents. although a dark time, she was happy, and enjoyed the friendship of Tayrn. One night long ago her house was looted and her parents beheaded, when she woke that morning something in her snapped, a rebellious nature has born into her, as well as longing for justice.
or perhaps a lust for revenge?
since then she rarely visits her cottage, always off getting up to something...
Ok chums, i was gonna build this one ages ago, but uhm... yeah. CCC XI is coming up soon, this was a 3 day build, so thats good considering i'm not gonna have as much time to win master builder as i had originally anticipated, but will do!
this thing is damn flimsy!
*Derfel, thanks for the edit, and for being awesome!
*Mark, you ready for master builder?!?
Hello, all! I have been working on this build for the past couple days, and I'm quite pleased with the way that it has turned out. It was greatly inspired by one of Ian Spacek's builds. Thanks to Simon Liu and Hacim Bricks for critiquing it. It wouldn't be the same build without their input.

Built for the medieval dungeon category of the Colossal Castle Contest. I hope a more fantasy feel is accepted.

The Civilian Conservation Corps built some rock cabins in the 1930's to shelter passing travelers in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada. The beautiful color is from the native sandstone in the area. Now the cabins are in a picnic area. This photo was taken in 1995 on slide film and scanned to create a digital file.

Thanks to Steve Skinner (www.flickr.com/photos/steveskinner) for always pushing me to excel in my photography. He's patiently waited for years for me to make the switch to Canon and I'm glad I did. After a quick trip to Yosemite I got a chance to use it a little. The weather was less than ideal....high 80's daytime, 60's at night and not a cloud in the sky. With such horrid conditions, we came home early.

I used a 10 stop ND filter to blur the clouds on this windy day giving the shot the feel I was looking for.
Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935-36, this building fits right in with the natural surroundings of Pokagon State Park. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCC_Shelter
These are not some restored structures from centuries ago but built by the Civilian Conservation Corps from the matching local rock during the 1930's to house workers in the area. From 1933 to 1942 the CCC over the course of it's existence employed over two an half million of mostly young men to work in over in over 4500 different camps planting trees, building roads etc. So many of the roads and some structures in our federal and state parks were built by CCC workers.
"CCC Boys" camp interpretive sign at the Upper Falls overlook at Gooseberry Falls State Park. The camp was located to the left of the Upper Falls.
The "CCC Boys" basically developed this whole park, and many more parks, waysides, roads and other things that we have taken for granted for many years.
Gooseberry Falls State Park is located in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
Whether on a computer or a phone, you should be able to enlarge this image to a point where you can read what the sign says. I have kept this one at its full resolution.

"The two lines of battle began to close against each other. The dwarves had their mattocks, while the men of Dale had their swords. The gap between them lessened when a grey figure appeared magically in the center. 'Halt!' , cried Gandalf, 'Dread has come upon you all! Alas! It has come more swiftly than I guessed. The Goblis are upon you! Bolg of the North, is coming, O Dain! Whose father you slew in Moria. Behold! the bats are above his army like a sea of locusts. They ride upon wolves and Wargs are in their train!' So began a battle that none had expected; and it was called the Battle of Five Armies, and it was very terrible. Upon one side were the goblins, the wild wolves, and upon the other were elves, men and dwarves."
Thank you all so much for following this series! I really appreciate your guys's support. So here is the 3rd to last section for the CCC, this one for "mythical creature" category. I have been wanting to do a solid warg for some time now, and this gave me the perfect chance. What do you think?
Soli Deo Gloria!

UPDATE: All of you probably know by now, about the new LOTR license LEGO is producing in 2012. Unofficially, I have known about it for about a month. (This was one of my reasons for doing this series :) The official press release was all that was needed to make/break my heart. I have very mixed feelings about this, and I will probably post an official update once the CCC is over expressing my views. I'll wait for the emotions to subside first though. Those of you who know me, know that I am debatably the most loyal LOTR builder in the community. The update will have a very interesting view into the subject of the license. All I can say is thank you for your support, and I pray that I have the guts to stick with LOTR and not jump ship. More later.
