Flashback~ Nature In The Brick

These peaceful, lush builds have tremendous inspiration behind them. 

The creation on the top was in inspired by the great landscape builders of Flickr, the MOC itself depicts a Warrior returning home. The large tree and river were built for the LEGO Landscape contest, the river (my favorite) was based on a photograph my dad took on our vacation to Tennessee :)

Figs For The Feast

~~~

Now some you may already know that myself and my brother are on our way to Brickfair VA. My project was to rebuild the great hall of Rothburg which was one of my favorite MOCs since joining the online community.  

  The figs at the left of the collage are all based off of LCC Garheim members.  Each of these will be feasting with one another in the MOC.
If you are one of said members and you do or do not like the representation of your fig, please leave a comment.

Some new figs that will appear in my contribution to Brickfair Va! 

I'm really liking those new BrickArms halberds! C&C welcome. :)

Animals Of LCC: Work In Progress.

This is the start of my latest animal project that I'll be bringing to 

Brickfair Virginia! Here are three hints as to what it is. :)

~~~

 1. It's really big!

2. It's extinct.

3. Its claws are supposed to be like that.

Start guessing! :)

LCC Garheim: Marching Around

Sir Angus The Bold and some of his highlander band march across the frigid icy glen.

A quick free-build for the month of June :) C&C welcome.

Neo-Austrian Howitzer Battlion

Now you're probably thinking. "Woah?! Steven's actually making steam punk soldiers?"

And I suppose they do classify as steam punk. For me, ideas like these sorta drop out of the sky. It started with the barrel bomb, then the troops. It's not really my usual theme but I had a lot of fun with it, and that's what building's all about! :) 

Where No Man Has Gone Before!

There's nothing like a neat patch of mushrooms to stick a

 bunch of epic space minifigs in! I don't usually take outdoor pictures, but this 

was too cool to pass off. :)

Animals Of LCC: Giant Sea Lion

Found all over the Garheim coastlines, the giant sea lion is one of the most populous animals in the North. 

Unlike its cousin to the south, the smaller rock sea lion, this giant sea lion is surprisingly large, which aids its escapades through the choppy Garheim ocean.

I've been having fun with that pinhole effect on my camera! And by the way, if you ever come across a monster fighters set, get it - the wolverine claws are a great part and very useful... they made a nice pair of whiskers for this fellow!

C&C welcome!

Garheim Local Challenge XI

"Forwarrrrrd, MARCH!"

Tromp-tromp-tromp-tromp.....

"Compannny, HALT!" 

silence.

"Prepare footings... " 

"CHARGE!!!!" 

Tromptromptromptromptromp.....

"Company, Halt!" 

"Hold Position... Excellent work, men! At ease." 

"My, these trainees are turning out well, aye Angus?" 

"Indeed they are, Eric! These new strategies I learned in Loreos can be applied quite well here in Garheim." 

"Where did you find these lads, anyway?" Eric queried. 

"They were stonemasons, but since the war is drawing to a close and fortifications aren't as necessary, it's time we taught the next generation the art of warfare." 

Closeups. :)

Flashback~ Colossal Castle Contest 10!

This wonderful series of memorable MOCs were built last year for the Colossal Castle Contest 10 on the Classic Castle Forums. Over the period of two months I created eleven entries And won first place in the Daring Escape category. If you'd like to see more pictures of these MOCs check the sets here

A Standoff!

"I've got me a very bad feeling about this Flörik" Alwin stated. "I vote we charge!" Herald fiercely uttered. "Over those wet rocks though the stream?" queried Flörik. "No, my friends, the only way out of this is to stand our ground!" 

It's pretty nice to have an older brother who loves to build elaborate rock walls and cliffs, and will let you borrow them when he is done! :D
