    I used my entry for this book III- challenge in the ‘Fantastic feasts’-category for Brickscalibur as well! “For years and years small domestic commerce and trades simply took place by the cliffs on the riverside. In time, Wifgrir, the duke of Dandelume, saw a great potential in the location in this riverside part of his municipality. Mostly due to its availability from water and nearby larger roads. He therefore ordered a completion of a small fortification and garrisoned soldiers within. With time of relative peace and stability the trading routes brought goods and merchants from near and far. The dandelumians could storage and bargain their notorious avalonian wine and earthenware for merchandise from all over Historica. It was common for the garrisoned soldiers to have their meals, large or small, outside the eastern walls of the fortification, to have a moments peace and quiet from the noisy commerce going on inside. This also gave them time to check the stored wine and see to the earthenware in an enclosed space.”

    Thank you for the gorgeous calender! It has been a fun little happening each day to await every new build. Great job @Aurore

    Nice build! The colors really stands out and I like the roof and trees a lot!

    Thanks Simon for taking time to comment the build 😃 I agree that the lighting balanced the lack of color in the final result!

    As stated by others I also really like the ship and brickbuilt shields. The water is fantastic and the sails look very natural!! I dont dig the rockwork as much though, might just be poor taste on my behalf but they look a bit flat/regular in relation to the rest of the build. Great build Exetrius!

    Hazaaah! How wonderful with a new GoH-challenge!
  9. T-86(swebrickLUG)
    Really agree with your suggestion of more hight! I will need to remember this in the future when building similar creations.

    Thanks man! Many people like the tree, Im satisfied with the outcome but think that I could have made it more dense on the low right branch.

    Thanks! Yeah the choice of LG has been commented here on EB and my swedish lug-forum as well. im pretty happy with how the base turned out colorwise!

    Nice stuff Mattias! Love the playability-feature with the slide-out. A cohesive build, with nice detailing as well. Great to get more Faeril-builds, keep em coming!
  13. T-86(swebrickLUG)
    Thank you for taking your time to give feedback on the build. I will surely take your ideas of improvements with me. Im still in a process of learning by doing considering the photo-phase! Thanks again 😃

    Thanks Grover for your (as always) elaborate and detailed feedback! I really like the idea with each season being represented in the tower! On the lime-green choice; I felt as it could work with the dark-prefixed colors as some kind of popper I guess. I can see where you are coming from on that choice though. I feel it will have to stay this way for now. Perhaps Ill stumble upon a larger quantity of sand green or olive green-pieces 😃 Take care man!

    Built for the SJ fantasy heights-category. Crossposting continues! "A nameless primeval seer have made her dwelling in a large ornamented stone tower.Wearing a hooded brown cloak she is seen walking around with her mysterious staff. A long time ago she left her order in the mystic isles and headed for the parts of Historica today known as Avalonia. As no others followed her, she established and built the great tower. The sheer hight of it makes it distinguishable all the way from the outskirts of Dandelume on a cloud-free day. The seer hold great magical power, guarding the four seasons. As a nameless being she is only known as she appears in respective season: ‘Summer’, ‘Autumn’, ‘Winter’ and ‘Spring’. Atop the tower she planted a magical seasonal tree that grew stronger and taller over the years. All types of creatures; from agricultural humans, wild forest beings to elves and fauns cherished the wisdom of the seer. Her magic controlled nature, animals and weather in the area. Many came to visit her, highborn and common folk, for an audience to maybe learn more from all the knowledge she had. The inhabitants can look to the sky to see the official changing of the seasons as the tree had a close connection to, and ruled all other nature in the area. The seer’s two peculiar birds residing in the tree will fly around but have their nest beneath the roots of the tree." Some closeup photos:

    Would have been an amazing skill to have to be able to get that final result without digital edit 😃. Unfortunately Im some galaxies away from it!

    Thanks Grover! The tree is very sturdy thanks to technique-pins inside. The lighting is actually a combination of real lights for direction of the light and then a digital edit for brightness, warmth and glow! Glad you noticed the small vine in the fence 😃 I can agree on the rockwork, I focused on the other parts of the build and in retrospect I should have taken my time with the cliffs as well! Thanks! I know that my fellow swede builder Gideon has a nice collection of quite a few domes, perhaps he can ship one or two your way 😉

    Thanks Dan, im glad you like it and took your time to respond to the post!

    Thanks for the sound feedback. I totally agree with you on the thickness-support for the crenellations!

    I continue with my quest to do builds and cross-posting my Dandelume-story and the Summer Joust. This is a build centered around the heroine Dand El Alume in the lore of my settlement. "Members of the elven company used to stay at the sanctuary of light during recovery periods depending on how injured they were. Spending time in this revered location was filled with light, kinship and union. The sanctuary bestowed every visitor with a possibility to heal; in heart, body and soul. For an entire year after defeating the spirit of the druids Dand El Alume lived in the sanctum. She saw light reentering her loyal elven comrades. They prayed to the gods, sat and watched the waves slowly moving against the small cliffs. But Dand couldn’t, even after a year, bring herself to forget…or to dispel the dark haze that lingered inside her. She still needed a cane to walk, her leg had not yet healed. A cane that had been lathed out of a branch from the very tree towering over her. The light from the house with the green dome shimmered and the ancient stone podiums were warm even in night time. As Dand remained enlaced by her inner shadow under the ancestral tree she saw Valedor embraced with light, he was smiling once more…"

    Thanks Jonas! I agree with the suggested improvement in photographing. Im still figuring out how to capture the builds so your input is valuable!

    Thanks Feuer! I tried different solutions to be able to hang it, but it ended up on the piano leaned against the wall. I’ll probably pick it apart for pieces of new builds though 😂

    This is a build for the summer joust silhouette-category. (I used the opportunity to also add it to my GoH-story). Thought I would use it as an excuse to make my first post here in the historic themes-forum as well! In the great hall of duke Wifgrir the feudal city crest hangs on the eastern wall. A historic memento of the past but also a potential foreshadowing of future actions. The sword ‘The red dawn’ is depicted twined in the herb with the identical name. An homage to the first settlers finding the herb and therefore settling in the area. The sword portrayed in the city crest belonged to the legendary heroine Dand El Alume. Her name was gifted to the city. Dand El Alume’s tale dates back to ancient times and is a living part of folklore in Avalonia in general, but in Dandelume in particular. Dand lived during one of the centuries of the first druids and mighty wizards. A time long before Avalonia formed as a realm under the first king Artorious Rex. In a turbulent era of mystic and great dangers. Her many heroic acts are written down in the chronicles ’Bringer of the red dawn’ but are also recited in poems and traditional storytelling. In the ‘horn-squadron’, the knights are taught the chronicles of Dand by feudal scholars. They all aspire to one day be able to become the new ‘bringer of red dawn’…..

    Thanks Grover, I always appreciate your elaborated feedback. Also I totally agree on the water-critique, need to expand my collection with some nice trans light blue-pieces!

    I built this vignette for the Summer Joust and thought I would incorporate my GoH-city Dandelume and the story surrounding it. More to come if I find the time during the summer… ”In the feudal keep of Dandelume there are plenty of small courtyards and gardens. Alannais, the daughter of duke Wifgrir had always enjoyed them. She would visit the oldest courtyard close to her wing of the keep for privacy matters, servants and others from the feudal court seldom went here. Alhough always followed by one of the duke’s soldiers, she would spend time near the old fountain, under the tree. She would read, think and dream. It was a pleasant solitude place, away from all the regular commotion going on in the keep and the busy city.” Flickr-album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/t-86/albums/72177720309167212
