"Now its the burglars turn" said Thorin as they peered into the blackness of the tunnel. "We don't know whether the dragon is in there or not. Bilbo, you shall go investigate for us." Bilbo, feeling very bitter that he was chosen for these dangerous tasks, agreed reluctantly. Slowly he walked into the gloom. Finally, after what seemed like ages, Bilbo finally came to the end of the passage, and before him he could see a dim glow. Then suddenly, the passage ended, and a large space loomed ahead of him. That's when he saw the source of the glow. There he lay, a vast red-golden dragon, fast asleep; a thrumming came from his jaws and nostrils, and wisps of smoke, but his fires were low in slumber. Beneath him, under all his limbs and his huge coiled tail, and about him on all sides stretching away across the unseen floors, lay countless piles of precious things, gold wrought and unwrough, gems and jewels, and silver red-stained in the ruddy light. To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all."
Well mates, yet another entry for the CCC, this one falling under "Hidden Treasure". This will be my ... seventh entry. Just one more to go! *Ugh
But yea, this one shows Bilbo's entry into he Lonely Mountain and his first encounters with Smaug the Terrible.
So there it is, C&CC welcome.
I probably wont be posting again before, so I want to wish you all a very Merry and Christ-full (Just to spite those X-mas legalists) Christmas! ;)
SOLI DEO GLORIA!

This MOC is NOT for the CCCVI, being the winner of CCCV I am continuing the honorable tradition of not competing in the following contest.
I have been very lucky to have had Harold the travelling castle minifig of Classic Castle fame for the past couple of weeks. I wanted to build a creation to honour the event but being predictably busy at this time of year has held up the project somewhat.
I have been tied up with a number of responsibilities over the past few weeks & my time within the LEGO community has suffered as a result. I hope to be around alot more as the year winds down.
Fairly warned, be thee, says I

My first full morning in the Sawtooths brought a quiet sunrise and still waters. The night before I had hiked until dusk and decided to scramble down off the trail and look for a couple decent sized trees to hang my hammock from.
Fortunately, tree line was another 1,000 feet above me, so I had plenty to choose from, and found a nice copse before it got too dark.
I remember it being colder than I had expected, and the rest of the nights that trip, I would boil a bit of water and jam it down by my feet to stay warm.
Just an hour or two after I took this photo, I crested the ridge above Edith Lake, another 1,500 feet above me. Little did I expect this to be one of the most moving moments of my entire life, seeing the entire Sawtooths open up before me after cresting this final rise. I was so shocked that I broke down crying. It was as if like some burden had been lifted from me that I did not know was there. I can feel it, even now.
I often come back to that moment in my mind's eye, and it continues to be a source of strength and peace for me to this day.

I'm bored out of my mind right now so to pass the time I made another one of these pictures. I saw the film a couple of weeks ago and I really rather enjoyed it, though if I'm honest I thought last year's Interstellar and the year before's Gravity were better. Anyway, I gave it an 8/10 and I definitely recommend it if you like sci-fi and haven't already seen it. As ever Ridley Scott's visuals were great, even if some of the CGI in the space scenes was a little rocky, especially compared to Gravity and Interstellar.
I've made another one of these photos for Spectre and I'll post that tomorrow since it's probably fresher in everyone's minds.
Since the release of the Avengers I haven't really done any animation because I've been so bogged down with coursework and some other projects. I've got loads of work to do with regards to Lego Doctor Who and a couple of non-Lego animations so I don't know how I'm going to fit all of them. Let's just say my Christmas holidays are mostly going to consist of animation.
And Star Wars hype, can't forget that.
On this one you can see that a crane was on the barge, it was doing some repair work on the jetties that protect the Ventura Harbor.

This was actually my test exposure to get a baseline for a smaller aperture. When I saw it come out of the camera, I really liked what the clouds were doing, but, try as I might for an hour or so, I couldn't replicate it. Interesting how fast things can change.

I've actually had this on my desk for a while. I'd been meaning to redo this fighter from way back in the day.
I always liked it, mainly because it is so dang swooshable and it doesn't use a cockpit box. But the brick-built wings bothered me because they just clashed too much with the plate front. Also the colors were just a mess because dark red simply wasn't available in as many parts as it is now.
The best part is, with the redesign I was able to fix the most annoying flaw, which was that the thrusters (the 3x3 cylinder with cutouts) sat 1/2 plate below the angled parts.
With the new half-brackets, I was able to correct this problem - something that simply wasn't possible at the time given the space limitations and the desire to have greebling on the back.
This fighter is based on the Earth Directorate Starfighter from the 1979 Buck Rogers TV show. The design is one of Ralph McQuarrie's, and I think it still looks fresh and menacing today. You can google it to see what I mean.
