Glad you guys like it! This is the closest I have to a top-down shot of the floor:

Thank you for correcting me. I have now corrected myself

Here is my Cat. C. I cannot thank the powers-that-be enough for the deadline extension. Thank you!

Wyndor's Saga: See what happened prior to this: You Need Logs? As soon as they had made it down from the pass, and the border dividing the two guilds, Rothgar and the other dwarves made their way through the forests just below the mountain pass. They traveled due west, following the border of the guilds toward Tradewind Bay. They had to travel mostly at night to avoid Avalonian patrols. The dwarves were worried by the frequency of the patrols. No-one should have known that there were dwarves making their way out of Mitgardia. But the amount of armed men and elves seemed to show that someone had found out about the dwarves’ plan to attack the drow. When they were about a mile from the coast, Rothgar stopped his band of warriors to go over the final aspects of their plan. The dwarves of Dalig Ulv had received word that the drow had been shipping troops and supplies up and down the ill defended coastline. They also had information showing the traveling schedule of a certain drow general who would be accompanying one of the shipments. They decided the best course of action would be to attack the boats from land. After all the details were decided on, Rothgar gave some final words. “Men of the earth!” Rothgar began, getting cheers from his fellow dwarves. “Brothers! We are but a stone’s throw from the border of our lands. But simply because we are dwarves, the ruling council of Mitgardia says we can’t be here! Well, I say we are a free people! I don’t care if a bunch of tight-wearing elves are worried about us befouling their land. We have as much right to travel the land as they do! We won’t let them stop us from attacking the bane of our people! We will pursue these drow to the ends of the world!” The dwarves were really in a frenzy now. They quick marched the rest of the way to the cliff and prepared the ballistas they had been building. The drow ship soon came into view. “Steady brothers!” Rothgar shouted. “Wait until they are within range before you attack!” Telchar, a dark haired dwarf who shaved the sides of his head, ran up to Rothgar and said, “The drow have a captive on the boat. Look!” Rothgar peered out and saw that there was indeed a poor elf chained to the mast. “If we fire on the boat, we are sure to kill the elf as well!” exclaimed Telchar. Rothgar squinted his eyes in deep thought. After a few moments he said, “We cannot let that stop us. Elves still frequent these ruins and our presence will soon be known. We must strike the drow now. Fire!” The drow were armed with short bows crafted from the horns of mountain goats. They were powerful bows when used by someone strong enough to pull them, but they were still no match for the dwarves artillery fire. Two drow fell to the first two bolts fired before Rothgar ordered the next bolts to be set on fire before being launched. The boat soon collapsed from the flames and sunk into the shallow waters with all on board. OoC: Time. I wish I had more of it to give to this contest. I would have built 2 or 3 more MOCs for Cat. C depicting more of this story. I also would have made the boat bigger and put it in more water. As it is, it's kind of scrunched together. I hope you like what I had time to build though. Here are a few more pictures:

Great job with the stone work and the red floor on the 2nd build. And you have achieved a great organic feel to the difference in terrain on the 1st. Great work all around!

I have to say it's the Goblin miner that grabs my attention the most. Good job!

I'm glad you all like my Hagrid use! I'm really glad you like it and that I was able to provide some unexpected plot twists! Maybe it's because you are confusing my builds with SKs We do seem to have a similar style, though I'm not up to his standards yet! I'm glad you like the snow! Well, I always try to put a lot of thought into my builds, but I'm glad it especially seemed to work with this build. Thanks ME!

Wow! You have outdone yourself with your comments this time! Thank you for all your feedback. I wish I had time to answer it all, but I don't Just know that it has all been well received. I'm looking forward to continuing my story as well. Unfortunately the GoH contest has been keeping me too busy

Your writting makes me want to write more for my story line! Great work on your first build, it's so well rendered I can't tell that it's LDD! The 2nd one is obviously more rushed, but I really like that ramp you've built.

Great details as always!

Great reference to the old style blaster!

Your holo table is amazing! Such a great idea! I also love your story and your idea of using a film set for your back story. Incredible all around!

Oh wow! This story is incredible! Do you ever have plans on building scenes showing some more of this story? Great work!

Great story to go with a good build!

Great story! I would try to use a solid background for your pictures and be careful about the warmth of your lighting.

Great work! You continue to amaze me with your old-parts builds!

Your first freebuild has been judged.

Great job on that statue! I was wondering how many people would use the minifig size for their statue entries. I almost did myself.

This build is nicely framed. Those rock towers add a good effect and help a desolate scene look less empty.

This is well done. I think the picture would be better with different lighting, and maybe more pictures. But I like what I see!

Thanks for the fast reply! I agree with you that Lego will make one. They just are looking to suck as much money from us as possible and releasing 2 versions of Sabine is a good way to do so!

Is that Sabine helmet custom or does it come with the set?

It is still a "7.x" freebuild until the next contest starts

Wow. That interior is beautiful! Simple details really made it pop!

I would like to again make a case for extending it at least a week. Sure, it helps some of us who procrastinated. But for people like myself, I planned enough time but ran into delays beyond my control. Like bad weather cancelling my flight and causing me to be stuck away from my bricks for 2 extra days.
