The first set of pics is of a battering ram I made for my wolfpack figs. My
wife says it looks like a "really bad chipmunk".(!!) I've never quite
forgiven her for that. My therapist says I'm recovering nicely. Here's the pics:

Looks GREAT! Very nice stylization of a wolf's head. One suggestion, if
you have the resources, is to make it brown. Or most of it brown with
the grey slopes as accents. All stone battering rams would have been a
bit heavy to shove into castle doors.


The second set of pics is of a wind-driven amphibious land cruiser that I
made for the Black Falcons. It can go on land or in water...that's why I
call it "amphibious". :^) It can cross moats and the front end is high
enough to breach most castle walls...and beware the talons. Check it out:

Great falcon!!! What set did you get those blue castle formed pieces
from? The ones on the top of your wings and the tail section? I don't
think I've ever seen those...


Last but not least, the Dark Fortress of the Warlord of Blakk. The first two
pics are of the the Warlord of Blakk himself - my favorite custom fig to
date. Following are about a gazillion pics of the fortress - built on a
stone pillar at the bottom of the Blakk Valley, it rises five stories from
it's base with two towers rising even higher. The Blakk valley is so deep
and thickly forested that it only has one hour of daylight at high noon.
Because of it's constant darkness it has become overrun with bats - the
emblem of the Blakk Horde. It has been rumored that the Blakk Valley is what
David referred to in Psalm 23 as "the valley of the shadow of death". It is
also rumored that the Warlord of Blakk was alive centuries ago when the
psalm was written - they say he stays alive by consuming his enemies (or
maybe it's just a "Dread Pirate Roberts" kinda thing). Here's the pics:

What an amazing fortress!!! I was really impressed. I love to see what
people do with BURPs and how they build up many different layers to
create such a large, imposing structure out of Lego. I can't wait to
hear the stories you'll come up with for this one!

(...) IIRC there were some on a castle boat of some kind, I think it was called sea serpent or something. (23 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)
