Hundreds of years ago, the Algor Keep was build. It is considered one of the oldest keeps still intact. In any case it's definitely the most Northern fort ever build, being the only structure made by men standing in the Frozen Beyond. When the Algus were defeated long ago the Jarl back than decided they were in need of a guarded beacon. In case the Algus would return. After a few years the fortress got a second objective, capturing Wyvern eggs. So that meant that inside The Algor, the Order of the Wyvern was founded. Wyvern's seemed to be the only Frozen Beyond creatures that could be trained to serve men. But the last hundred years only two eggs were discovered. Both of them were immediately secured in Ondylion. Were unfortunately one died in the destructive battle.
With just two eggs, the manpower in the Keep was clearly not enough if it would be attacked. Nibelung cut down resources and Elon even stopped the training program of the whole Order. No new Wyverns were discovered and the Algus wasn't seen for almost a millennium.

Taken from the Bridge of the cruise ship "Discovery" on its way to South America, and then to Antarctica.
During the tour of the Bridge, I spotted a notice on the helm that read "Keep Ship UPRIGHT - at all times " !!!

Okay the thing is with my #2 Gil is that his joints were unusually stiff and really emphasised how limited the joints were, especially since I intended for this Gil to wear kimono and kneel a bunch. I expected for a single joint to be limited but the fact is, Gil couldn’t even bend his knees far enough to kneel let alone make it look natural enough.
So I took a knife to the behind of his legs and carved out crescent moon shapes so more of his knee joint was exposed and his leg could bend enough for him to kneel naturally. Unfortunately, his legs are hollow plastic so if you carve out as much as I did, it WILL leave really unsightly holes. But since it’s behind his leg I don’t mind, plus he’s most likely to be wearing yukata to expose the knees.
This actually solved his knee joints being stiff so I carved out some plastic behind his ankle to be able to be en pointe and it’s easier to pose him.
I also took out some plastic from his elbows so he could touch his face better but I didn’t far enough as I wanted because his arms are also hollow plastic and I could see the plastic be really thin, which is sad since normal MH boy arms are hard vinyl.
However, I’m happy my Gil #2 can pose better now. My poor #1 Gil can’t keep up with him.
Keep on looking, looking left and right
Oh, I might just find you, I just might

"Keep On Smilin'" ~ Wet Willie
"Well you say you got the blues,
Got holes in both of your shoes,
Feelin' alone and confused,
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'
Yeah, you're about to go insane,
'Cause your woman's playing games
And she says that you're to blame,
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes, singi'n this refrain
Singin' in a honky tonk cafe,
Nobody's hearin' what you play,
They're too busy drinkin' anyway,
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'
You say you found a peace of land
Gonna change from city boy to country man
Try to build your life with your hands
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'
You're just hangin' out in a local bar,
And you're wonderin' who the hell you are
Are you a bum or are you a star?
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes, singi'n this refrain"
It's been sitting around for months, took pictures, then waited a couple more month before finally posting. My largest castle yet.

A simple red blouse seems appropriate for the time of year. Sadly its time to put Jane away for 2015. My family returns for the holiday and although there will be a short dressing drought I will have them all around to keep me busy and smiling. A small price to pay I think. Merry Christmas. Be happy and I hope that you are with family or friends for the holiday.
The B8072 road on the Isle of Coll Scotland Is the Island's Northerly road or as It's called the "East End" of the Island and Is more rugged than the Western end of the Island. An Intriguing part of the road Is this Island, Instead of a normal passing place the road splits up In to two, one way single track sections about 35 yards long and Is located on a very steep Incline. It's quite an unusual section of road.This view looking West.
The Isle of Coll reminds me of the Isle of Jura, quite rugged. Oct ober 8 2015.
Walking along a bicycle track might not be sensible but thankfully there weren't too many cyclist making me move off the pathway!!
