  1. Thank you! Thanks, Kayne! Not sure what you mean about the "pull back" feature -- I only built two walls, so that it would be easy to photograph the interior. Thanks for the +1! Thank you! Actually, I'm pretty sure I borrowed the chair design from one of your old builds. Thanks, Blufiji! Thank you! I think I agree with you, but . . . gotta get that UoP credit! This was the only way I could think of mixing things up a bit.
  2. Brilliant build! So lively and bustling, and so many great details to enjoy throughout the build. I particularly like the banners and the white house.
  3. Great carriage; great landscaping. Love all the saguaro!
  4. Nice work! I like the shape of the cabin, and the carriage is great. It strangely reminds me of both Cinderella's carriage, and an old VW bus.
  5. I'd love to -- I even started putting together a sigfig and backstory (a descendant of Ruadh, of course! ;) ) but realistically, until I can clear more of my GoH "to do" list, I can't realistically even pretend I have the time. :( So I'm stuck admiring y'all from afar, at least for the time being.
  6. I have two new builds seeking UoP credit: The Last Place You'd Look ​A Minute to Think I'm also still one vote short on my A True Bloodbath build -- if someone would PM me with a yea or nea, that would be awesome. :)
  7. Previously: Part 6 - New Loyalties As Malek walks along the Kaliphlin coast, he looks around. It's been a while -- since before the war -- since he's been truly alone, without soldiers, without refugees, without the ugliness of war and its aftermath. Feeling the glorious Kaliphlin sun beating down on him, he takes another quick look around, then strips down to his bandages to enjoy the warmth on his ancient desiccated bones. Pulling a bottle of pine resin the Murphys had thoughtfully packed in his bag, he takes a swig, savoring the preservative soaking him from the inside. Malek couldn't stop thinking about his last encounter with his old Desert King friend. Malek had always considered himself a good and loyal servant of the Desert King, but somehow, he had found himself attacked by his own people, and defended by those he once considered enemies. The Kaliphlin people, High Council loyalists, had repeatedly shown more compassion and integrity than the Desert King. While it shocked Malek that, in the heat of the moment, he had actually uttered the words, "My loyalty is to the rightful rulers of Kaliphlin!", it somehow felt like the right thing to do. He had a lot of thinking to do, Malek thought, warm and drowsy in the warm heat of the sun. --------------- Notes: This build was inspired by the coastal dunes of South Texas, like those near Corpus Christi and Padre Island. The base consists of old Belville light yellow pieces. The tan and "medium tan" grasses are from Altbricks. I'd like to claim UoP credit for: Anthropology: Countryside Scene Landscape Design: Sand Dunes As always, comments and constructive criticism are very welcome!

  9. Thanks! Thank you! Thanks Lord Vlad! Thank you! Thanks y'all! The Murphys are have been part of my GoH head-canon and bald for some time now, but I forgot to include any of their story here. I'll add a quick intro paragraph. Thanks for the +1!
  10. Previously: Part 4 - A Dangerous Twist When The Lady brought Malek to the Murphy house, the mummy eyed the mercenary couple dubiously. With their rough leather clothing and shaved heads, the Murphys looked rather disreputable. Hell, Mrs. Murphy even had an eye-patch! "Don't worry, Malek, they're smarter and nicer than they look, but just as tough. The Murphys will keep you safe. They're some of Kaliphlin's finest." ----- "What's the meaning of this? How dare you break into my home with swords drawn?" Murphy shouted. "Where's the traitor?!? We know he's hiding here!" The Desert King guard responded. "What traitor? Hiding where? Are you kidding me? Do you see this place? Where do you think we could possibly be hiding anyone?" The mummy guards harrumph, clearly disconcerted. "We had good intelligence he was here. Well . . . " They quietly left. A few minutes later . . . "The coast is clear, Malek! Let me give you a hand." Malek shivered. "That was the worst, coldest, dampest place I can remember! And this is a DRY well!" "Yeah, sorry 'bout that," said Murphy. "But no one would look for a mummy in the old well! C'mon, the wife has a bottle of pine resin the warm you up." "Oh! How thoughful! Y'all have been so kind to me!" ------ I'd like to claim UoP credit for Architecture: Wall Techniques: 1x1 Round Plate Walls. Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome!
  11. Nice work, Kai! It's a bold move to make such a clean, un-greebled build, and it looks fantastic.
  12. Clever concept, and I like the use of color to depict the snow --> mud --> vegetation transition.
  13. I'll be cheering for Eslandola from the sidelines, y'all!
  14. Beautiful build with lots of great details and texturing, and nice work capturing the feel of Benoic.
  15. Love those textured headstones! Cool creature and great landscaping too!
  16. Beautiful build! Love the texture of the building and the use of those green blade pieces. UoP +1. The sand green does look a bit off -- but I don't think it's your camera settings or set-up, given the other colors look correct. I think we're looking at color relativity -- in this case, the saturation and hue of the tan makes the sand green appear both more saturated and and a bit more blue. It's happening with the sand red, too, to a lesser degree.
  17. Impressive build! Love the stonework on the bottom floor of the structure.
  18. This one would definitely win "Most Whimsical"! I like the idea that, even in these times of turmoil and civil wars, the most effective solution is to band together to vanquish the greater enemy.
  19. Clever solution! Great work on all three builds, capturing different landscape moods.
  20. Awesome work, as always. The sandworm is stunning -- love the texture and shape. UoP +1! Nice work work photographing, especially that second shot.
  21. Nice little build --the wagon is nicely designed (though I'd like to see those top two studs SNOTed), and the snow texture is thoughtfully done. What lamps did you buy? What bulbs? Can you show a pic of your whole setup? With a bit more info, we can help you fine-tune things.
  22. Great build overall, with some great details -- the candlesticks, the walls, the table shape, the door, and of course that floor! The bed baffles me, though; it seems like the bedposts go -through- the bedspread, which would be problematic from a practical standpoint.
  23. Very cool swamp -- I love all the vegetation, and awesome mangroves!
  24. LOVE the landscaping, and the creature is very cool, too.
