Serene Day
The sun is warm and the breeze cool on this serene day at Lake Barlas outside of Batuhan. A perfect day for kids to run and play near the security of the town’s fortified wall.
I chose a new portion of my larger Batuhan Wall MOC for the “Creating an Atmosphere” category of the Summer Joust 2021 competition.

Petraean Alley
Some say black oil is the most precious resource in Kaliphlin, but if you look at where people live, you’ll see it is water. Tall buildings line the the narrow streets and alleyways of Petraea. Crowded cities arise around the scarce sources of water in this desert land.

As the rain poured outside, young Aarash ran to his father, Ahesh, and asked, “How did you become the Emir of our town?"
Ahesh leaned back, looking into the fire for a moment and then gestured to his son and said, “Hop up here.

Looking out to Sea
A woman looks longingly out to sea for the return of her beau.
I created this 8x8 MOC for LowLUG’s Mega Medieval MOC Mania (MMMM) contest.
I tried a new technique for the water. I initially wanted to avoid using the large clear panes and use a ‘pile’ of random transparent parts, but I was unable to stack or connect them at odd angles.

2010 Dodge Avenger
I started this model in 2016 and finally got the parts to finish it in 2021. I’m not overly happy with it - the car feels a bit too scrunched front-to-back and a bit too tall. But the front shape is pretty accurate as are the back and sides.

Micropolis Nebraska State Capitol
I’d been meaning to build a Micropolis Scale Nebraska State Capitol and finally got around to it for LOLUG’s February competition, which was to design a module for the Micropolis micro city standard.
The biggest challenge was to get the odd-stud-wide building on the even-studs wide module.
