Forjados a fuego
Nos hemos forjado a fuego
Cuando nos creíamos
Tan duros como el acero
Casi eternos e indestructibles
Llegaron la llama y el martillo
Y nos moldearon de nuevo
Nos dieron otras formas
Nuevos contornos, nuevas aristas
Nos hicieron totalmente distintos
Tuvimos que aprender a arder
Y a soportar todos los golpes
Pero por mucho que queme y duela
Intentaremos no rompernos del todo
Ser maleables para seguir con vida
Cada vez estaremos más viejos
Más retorcidos, más afilados
Más insensibles, más hartos de todo
Más preparados para la muerte
Pero más dispuestos para la batalla...

Entry for Colossal Castle Contest XVI - Classic Castle Category. UPDATE: Delighted to say I got the top honourable mention for this build, coming second out of 17 amazing entries.
Unsettling forces were rising in the Knightly Realms. To the South, the Black Knights were waxing as a conquering faction and had already taken two of the southern Lion Knight’s mountain fortresses, claiming that the land had been rightfully theirs by law and blood. The Lion Knights had allied with the Black Falcons in response and soon the latter were moving through Lion lands in preparation for the whole sale invasion all were now expecting.
Ellyn, the famous landlady of a famous Guarded Inn near the recently taken southern castle Elsinore, had made a lucky escape with some of her soldier customers, along with a blacksmith. Together, they had made the journey north to the defended town of Barimoor, where the blacksmith had a brother. This brother had offered her a modest room in his house. She returned the favour first by repainting the run down old forge in colours that reminded her of home. Ever resourceful, she then started serving drinks to his customers as they waited, and soon enough the three of them were doing a roaring trade together.
I'd been wanting to make a totally classic looking castle build for ages, so this seemed like the ideal opportunity. Since they never actually produced a classic tudor house with jettying back in the 80s, that's where I started. In some ways those original 80s/early 90s sets have never been surpassed for design. This build is a paean to my early castle sets, and Lego's wonderful printed panel pieces from that era, which though much maligned now, actually formed the bulk of all castle builds. Those red panels are genius because the lines are precisely one plate thick and they align perfectly with plates allowing you to create a seamless facade. Brilliant.
The rules say “In the style of” which I took to mean:
-Green baseplate
-Original 80s colours as far as possible. (I had to dip into my reddish brown stash, but I much prefer original brown as a shade and luckily had most of the pieces I needed).
-Extensive use of panel pieces for the bulk of the building
-As many studs exposed as possible, using almost exclusively conventional studs up building.
-Using mostly parts/moulds available in the 80s and early 90s. I only used 3 modern elements in total - all 3 in the anvils.
-Original weapons/tools/accessories and minifigures from lion knights/crusaders sets as stipulated (this was interesting - didn’t know for instance that lion knights had crossbows, but they did in set 6081). I couldn’t resist using my favourite classic curved doors which were in the first castle lego set I ever got - set 6034, still one of my favourites. They are also from 1990, but from a Black Knights set. But the Lion Knights set 6081 has the larger versions of the same doors so I didn’t feel too bad. I also used a Dragon Knights panel from 1993 to represent ornate ironwork... outrageous.
-SNOT only with period appropriate parts and in a very limited way - used here in the weather vane and for the vines.
-not too large, or too many pieces (though admittedly this is larger than any existing civilian set).
The Forge is bulky, brawny, and designed to take and dish out a beating. While significantly heavier than its competitor, the Skelatin, the Forge makes up for its bulk with a suite of thrusters on the rear of its skirting armor, arms, and legs, allowing it surprisingly swift maneuvering capabilities both on land and in space.
Typical armaments for the Forge range from light pistols to heavy machine guns. Here, it wields a plasma axe capable of superheating to rend through enemy frames like butter.

I started experimenting with my art generator again recently to see how the shapes might work when put to a different use. This is a low-res model.
I initially built the program in Flash about three years ago influenced by the processes and methodologies of Joshua Davis.

Rainworth Skoda Dukeries Rally (Ford Escort Mk2), Nottinghamshire, England
Hey everyone again last week was a bit surreal in terms of Flickr as I managed to get 4 or 5 of my images into Flickr Explore. Not quite sure how as they were old images, I think it was due to my latest image before this one getting into Explore and viewers checking out my older uploads which caused them to get into Explore. Explore does remain a mystery to me lol but thank you to you all last week, as always it does mean a lot to me that you all take the time to visit and comment on my photos, I thank you.
Anyway, this photo was from the Dukeries Rally up in Sherwood Forest in Nottingham. I met up with fellow Flickr and Twitterers James, Mark and Chris and what a really enjoyable day it was, top guys :-).
Be sure to check out their stunning photostreams :-)
This type of photography is not my normal type of photography but I am really getting into it. This is my second ever rally I have been too but I have learnt that it can be a quite challenging type of photography due to the fast nature of the sport but I persevered and got this.
This photo was me messing around with my panning technique and can assure you there is no Photoshop trickery in this one, this was completely handheld pan as the car sped around the corner, it was a little bit of trial and error but it was quite hard to do at shutter speeds as slow os 1/30s. Not quite as sharp as I would have liked it due to the f-stop I had to use but I like the sense of speed it creates. I originally cropped it at 16:9 but felt it had too much else going on around the car so cropped it square (1:1) and feel this works a lot better, what do you think?
As per usual any constructive criticism is always welcome :-)

Information
The squarer-styled Mark II version appeared in January 1975. The first production models had rolled off the production lines on 2 December 1974.
Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed "Brenda" during its development, it used the same mechanical componentss as the Mark I. The 950 cc engine was still offered in Italy where the smaller engine attracted tax advantages, but in the other larger European markets in Europe it was unavailable. The estate and van versions used the same panelwork as the Mark I, but with the Mark II front end and interior. The car used a revised underbody, which had in fact been introduced as a running change during the last six months of the life of the Mark I.
This car made a point, with just four body styles, of competing in many different market niches where rival manufacturers had either multiple model ranges or simply none at all. "L" and "GL" models (2-door, 4-door, estate) were in the mainstream private sector, the "Sport", "RSMexico", and "RS2000" in the performance market, the "Ghia" (2-door, 4-door) for an untapped small car luxury market, and "base / Popular" models for the bottom end. Panel-van versions catered to the commercial sector.
During the second half of the 1970s, the Escort continued to prove hugely popular with buyers in Britain and other parts of Europe.
A cosmetic update was given in 1978, with L models gaining the square headlights (previously exclusive to the GL and Ghia variants) and there was an upgrade in interior and exterior specification for some models. Underneath a wider front track was given.
In 1979 and 1980 three special edition Escorts were launched the Linnet, Harrier and Goldcrest.
Production, after an incredibly popular model run, ended in Britain in August 1980, other countries following soon after.
