Bill, Bill, *Bill*!
Me-aipho le-hatkhil?!
It's great to see these MOCs I've heard about! I can tell you put a lot of
effort in there (even disregarding the fact that I heard they were in
process of building several weeks ago! ;-). Those first two are just
*awesome*. You really have a knack for designing animal-vehicles to that
scale. Both aesthetically pleasing *and* practical! Cool!

Your wife, evidently, doesn't know jack about lego. <grin> (I hope she'll
forgive me for that!)... that is *cool*. You captured the wolf essensce
brilliantly, my friend...

Again, that falcon just stared right at me the second I took a look at the
picture. Wow!
> Last but not least, the Dark Fortress of the Warlord of Blakk.
Not, by far, least. I mean, there was a <jaw drop>, <drool>, the works...
again (in english this time ;-), where do I start...
Alright, the foundation. You use the BURPs really well, not lining them up
makes for a more realistic mountain. The entryway is well hidden behind
another row of BURPs (so that if someone happens to find the fortress, they
wouldn't have any clue where to get in from).
The battlements are great, you use the slopes very well.
What I liked best was the way you managed to make the castle be wider at the
top than at the bottom. Few people managed to do that elegantly and still
have a stable building (specifically the two awesome, un-blood-related (1)
Hamiltons - Craig and Brad. Coincidence? I think not. ;-).
Anyway, back to Blakk, I was saying you built up very elegantly. And *then*,
when I thought the best was behind me and the pictures were ending, you
totally blew me away with those *huge* removable sections. That bought me
over, it's my favorite method of showing interiors, but I know it's hard to
do. From experience (2). And it seems you did *that* well, too.
Then I came back and read this...

I was thinking, 'Neat, neat...'

'Whoa!'

'Totally cool!'

'Teeheeehee!'
(Actually I think I *was* laughing out loud!)

You *should*!

All babies *are* cute. And yours specifically. Ok, more menacing than cute.
But that's a compliment. I wouldn't say that to a baby (or his/her parents).
;-)

Magniv la-allah!! ;-)
Lehit Bill,
-Shiri
(1) I *think*! Maybe I'm assuming too much, though. Just coz one's in sunny
GA and the other in sunny CA... (!!)... too much of a parallel... this is
getting weird. <grin>
(2) Shh, don't tell, but I'm actually almost finishing a new MOC myself; and
the ceiling/floors are a big problem. I'm hoping I can get it straightened
out before my end-of-term test-rush starts...
