thanks guys!

Thanks guys!

I dont emebr if i commented on flickr or not, but I absolutely love this. Maybe having just a tad less bley and a bit more dark red would be effective, and where the transition of roof - wall is gappy because of the cheese, try putting other slopes and flipping the cheese and using snot bricks to smoothen that transition. Other than that, perfect, everything about it is spot on! David

After a dreadfully cute and disastrous rabbit infestation on his carrot farm, Ol' Farmer Poggard and his sons picked up what they had left and relocated to another part of the avalonian countryside, a good 20 minutes on foot, and together constructed a wheat mill. Turns out that was teh most profitable thing that could have happened to them, they actually began making an income and the success of Poggards' wheat mill was incomparable to that of his carrot farm, because let's be honest, no one likes carrots. CCCXII Medieval Husbandry The blades of the windmill turn, and the tower itself can rotate, like they do in real life. I'd like to make a motorised one of these one day for a convention... was quite a rushed build as Im off on holiday now for the rest of the year, and just got back from another holiday before christmas, which isn't building time... enough blabbing, it was rushed but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Based of this garbage. Hehe and I made an effort not to look at Cesbricks' Mill that he posted the day after i started playing around with the mill idea XP hope ye'all like it :) David out!

Thanks! glad you like it

Servicing a free refuel for your gas tank, and soda for your XL induced gravity b̶u̶c̶k̶e̶t̶cup, for a small fee! A small quick thingybob for the Moonbase 42 Collab! enjoy!

McDonalds Surveillance Satellite mk. 39. Since 1997, McDonalds has actually been a world-wide surveillance station, keeping tabs on just about everyone. Luring people in with mass produced highly processed "food" and gimmicks like 24 hour free WiFi, McDonalds spys on you, hacks your devices, taps into your conversations and then uses these satellites to relay information to high paying corporations. put on you foil hats, it's the only way to stay safe! So I just got out of hospital 2 days ago, and while i still don't have the brain power to do anything productive (believe you me, after 3 weeks of this stuff I have a lot to catch up on) I decided to build something this morning :) expect to see this floating around somewhere in Christchurch above the Moonbase 42 Collab :) Enjoy! David

nice to see some classic Z back again! haha once your set in the avalonian ways its hard to leave them aye? ;) no worries, I know how ya feel Z! As nice as the build is something that bugs me - and has been bugging me for a few of your builds, no offense - is the trunks of your trees, I get that some trees are really straight but I think having some more organic shaping in there would be great, thats my only nitpick though :)

The great Avalonion rivers bring prosperity to the land through trade and the vibrant wildlife that they support. Apparently they also bring in prosperity and wealth when Avalonian forestmen decide to make raids on travelling folk, particularly Kaliphlites. Everyone knows that Kaliphlites always carry gold on them. Always. CCC XII The merry band this was fun, though fairly hard to photograph due to the reflection the waterfall picked up, but came out pretty well I'd say. Inspired by Kyles' great moc, the old forest road, and wouldn't have been possible without Nick (Brickthing) randomly giving me a bag of close to a thousand trans clear tiles, haha you rock mate ;) enjoy!

Knaxx, son of some other dwarf who probably has a cooler and harder to pronounce name visits statues of his forefathers in search of wisdom and guidance in troubled times. And to admire the beards of old. ChIII category A, hope you enjoy!

Thanks guys!

Thanks all! I gathered not everyone would be sold on the color scheme, that happens every time someone does something new though

Cat a dwarves

Thanks guys!

What does every castle need? Obviously it's a blacksmith. maybe even two. Really depends on how quickly your knights are blunting their swords trying to kill make belief dragons. CCC XII - Castle Building A remake of the classic (is it classic yet?) set http://brickset.com/sets/3739-1/Blacksmith-Shop I tried to keep the character of an angular house, without making it look like its decaying, along with keeping the simple retro feel of the set. Unfortunately it doesn't open up, but I did try and replicate as many features of the house as I could. Theres some things I'd have liked to differently with more time/parts (that stone technique is parts intensive!) but as i'm heading off for about 11 days this month i figured i'm a little rushed for CCC :P One day I may rebuild it better.... maybe... Enjoy! David

Thanks guys!

To most, Finbar would appear to be one of the friendliest magic folk that lives in nocturnus. Thinking about how horrid the people of nocturnus are, that really doesn't say much, but he's generally a pretty good guy. Unlike his eldest brother Senneck, Finbar has taken to using his skills in magic for commercial purposes, he sells fireworks and a mysterious explosive powder on the black market. Good money, not so great when authorities are around. Oh wait, nocty has no authorities... CCC XII Small Misc Category Enjoy!

Thanks everyone!

Sailing the seven seas taking, searching for pirate scum and bringing their days of looting and pillaging to an end, recruiting them as toilet cleaners and barrel makers for his majesty the King. More barrels = more ale, and the toilets... yeah. Pirate Jigbots beware! my contribution to a speed build with Evan and Simon, as a bit of a tribute to Nicks' original jigbot(s). I'm clocking in 5 hours, a lot of that can be blamed on the fact my collection is almost entirely unsorted at the moment, but I'm not gonna be american about this ;) Enjoy! David

The home of Baba Yaga. A bewitched cottage that according to legend, walks on the leg of a giant chicken, and possess many of the same characteristics of she who dwells there. Including the toe fungus. CCCXII Fairytale castle category This. Was. A. Pain. building a structure that stands on a travis brick and flexitube leg with supports that can only be placed where its hidden by the leg was possibly the most irritating thing ive ever done in lego. the second time i got it to stand, the leg collapsed on itself and the house took a roll off my desk and dived to the floor, believe you me i've had it with this build XD Besides all the frustration, im happy with how it came out, quite happy that im done with it and next time it smashes will be the final time... ok now i should really start studying, exams are kinda important :p Baba Yaga, according to Slavic folklore, was a witch of incredibly bad looks, a horrid stench, and probably toe fungus. She eats rats and taters', and dwells deep in the woods in a cottage which has often been reported to walk off in the dark... CCC XII Custom figure. Enjoy! David

Hahahaha I had a bit of a laugh at the first photo, man thats embarrasing... I'd also like to point out that my 'gallows' was 2012 and my tower was 2013... just saying ;)

Senneck is the eldest of a trio of brothers who live in the enchanted forests of Avalonia. Senneck is by far the wisest, and uses magic very seldom, mostly for helping the sick, and can often be found writing at the top of his tower. The locals come to him for guidance and wisdom, as he would appear to be the most qualified person around to give it... Sooooo this has officially been the most busy week of my life. a few months ago I registered to go to the auckland brickshow this weekend, not realising that my entire years folio for graphics and painting were due TODAY. the same day I have to have an exhibit built and fly to Auckland, so it's been... hectic, lets leave it at that. Personally I am happy with the tower top, and the tree itself, but I don't think they work as well together as they could, hence i will be building another tree moc, and another tower moc in due time :p I didn't like the stonework but with the amount of time I had I just left it be. anyhow hope you enjoy it, this will be at the Auckland lego show this weekend, and once again, more upcoming mocs on the way ;) Now to pack for my flight in a few hours... David

Thanks guys! some interesting ideas about the tree/stone, I already have an idea of how the other two druids houses are gonna look but will definitely consider some things So the tower didn't survive the plane very well, had to pull an allnighter trying to rebuild the top which got completely totalled, I managed literally about 2 hours before the show started, I had a lot of spare parts that I didn't pack... Won first in show

Hey that's awesome, great to know there are more fools fols out here in NZ, where you at the show or just in the public?
