Here's mine: On a tree, too! It's a simple build, and inside is a diorama of a little tree and present in the snow. With this model, I'm very much satisfied with the green and white stripes contrasting with the red ornament. I hope I get picked!

Pretty good work. The Union Pacific still has one of these in North Platte, Nebraska, by the way.

Excellent work, Murdoch. You're turning into a regular Reverend W. Awdry. Any chance of including a streamlined pacific?

Well, it's a fairly good vessel. In fact, it reminds me of the ship from Pirates: Band of Misfits.

*Whistles* That is pretty impressive work. I hope you will tell how it went at the fete.

Very good work! However, in my layout I would have expanded the main building and parallel platform. But hey, good work.

Very good work! However, my one problem with this build is...Ironhook is captain instead of Redbeard!

Quite a small lot. But still, a whole lot of rare minifigs up for sale.

Wow! I just mean...wow! This definitely looks like a 10/10 in my book. And white croissants?! I hope Admiral Pastry doesn't find out...

That's one sexy ship! Plus, it looks so much like the original. Keep up the good work!

I remember reading the book in 1st grade, and I daresay you did an excellent job of recreating Mary Ann. Keep up the good work!

Yeah...see...my older brother is not that stupid, and he'd punch me and make me pick them up. Same with younger brother. I have spoken to my parents, but they just say I'm overreacting. I have also spoken to my brothers, but they're so thick-skulled and say, "You're just a nerd," and, "You have no life." Plus, my parents say I have enough in my collection, and a few busts and bruises to my train motors, minifigs, and bricks are no big deal.

No gun license, plus I don't want anyone getting hurt. There is a lock to the door to the basement, but it's only on the outside. That might be an easy solution, since the older one is moving back to college.

Many of you who have elder siblings might have had this problem while growing up. Many of you may still have this problem, even though you are grown up. Either way, the results are extremely discouraging. In my family, I have two brothers; their identities shall remain secret. My older brother is your hypothetical redneck; some [insert synonym for loser] who likes trucks 30 years past repair and a real stunt-performer. My younger brother is just a pain in the neck. Both together, they equal the destruction of Charlie Sheen in a hotel room. Introductions aside, let's cut to the chase. There are two memorable accounts of their shenanigans. The first one involves the both of them making a train crash video. They ran all of my 9-volt trains at full speed around a circuit, successfully destroying a building and knocking over several minifigs. Their response: "It's just legos." For any of you language majors, another cringe in the neck. The second time, not too long ago, they decided to do the tradition of ramping one of my train motors. To add to the yokel-ness, they put wings on the sides. Later in the afternoon, I discovered the remnants, and it was a combination of a Battle of Britain blitz and Dante's third circle of Hell in one destroyed plastic package. These are just a few accounts. There are many more stories, but I prefer not to go in detail any further. Please respond on alternatives and if anyone knows of a product to repel brothers from a LEGO display, please write about it in detail. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:

Over the summer, I have constructed many a locomotive in my spare time on LDD. This is one of my favorite ones, designed after the 14xx Class from the Great Western Railway: The design for the train came from the 1950's comedy The Titfield Thunderbolt. The windows on the locomotive are SNOT designs, and there is room in the cab for a driver and fireman.

I must say, that is a really ingenious creation. How many shades of grey are there anyway? There can't be any more than 50.

Well...I have made a real-life version, but it looks more like a LEGOland 80's model. For the time being, this model will just remain on the computer.

I've added the link to the Brickshelf folder in the post. I hope it will work.

Recently this summer, due to extreme boredom, I have been scratching in little histories in a notebook. One of these histories has to do with the Lord of Mouthvan, a peer to a Cornish village. Here is the home of his Lordship: Gordon Hall Click on image for larger Gordon Hall was built in 1574 by Lord Cecil Gordon, 40th Lord Mouthvan. It was built over the abode of the 1st Lord Mouthvan, Corwin Gordius. Commissioned for the build was the famous architect Robert Adams. Adams designed the hall as a smaller stately home, with three bedrooms, a library, and a dining room. The first stone was laid down by Lord Mouthvan on 8 April, 1574. Building of the home went from April to December of 1574, and the home was dedicated on Christmas Day, 1574. Currently living in the home is Benjamin Charles Gordon-Stalwart, 51st Lord Mouthvan, Lady Anna Stanton-Gordon-Stalwart, and former Colonel Sir James Stanton. Pictures: Click on image for larger The model is a modular build, and can be divided into the ground floor, second floor, and roof. Click on image for larger Bird's eye view of ground floor.

Each of the bedrooms are pretty much the same, with a bed, table, and lamp. EDIT: Here is the link for the bigger pictures in the Brickshelf gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=532541 I don't have any views of the upper floor, because there is nothing in it! Please feel free to comment, and I would like a few questions, too. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:

Lovely work, I should say. Both the engines have their own specific looks, and the soldiers also look good.

I just love the box art you made for the set! Keep on brickin'!

Excellent work! Are you thinking of giving it a name?

I really like the steampunk feel of this desing. Very good indeed. Keep up the good work!

It looks so good that I just want to whistle at it. However, I can't whistle...
