Shaw Island, WA

I consider August one of my two "months off" since it contains my birthday, so this post is a bit brief. These are the best of my recent Shaw Island photos.

LEGO 0-Gauge Earrings

DISCLAIMER: Plastic is semi-porous, it is much harder to clean/keep clean on a bacterial level than metal or glass (or treated bone).

I recently misplaced my earrings, and as a placeholder made a lego pair. Hinge cylinders fit perfectly in 0 gauge piercings.

also I just noticed my right ear has a tiny point/dent in it, and I love it

Minecraft Builds

Before the minecraft server Textracraft got reset, I had built quite a few hidden things for other players to find. Here are some of my favorites.

LEGO RoboForce II & UFO II

I finally took my LEGO collection out of storage for the first time since I was young(er). Here are my first builds as an AFOL. Any suggestions or constructive criticism are encouraged.

RoboForce II (Reminds me of these two sets)



Magnetic opening cockpit:



UFO II WIP(UFO I for reference)


This is my first attempt at greebling. I have learned that greebled areas look best when you stick to two, high-contrasting colors. Keep it clean and simple and you will get the pop you are looking for. The small ship was originally going to be the cockpit of the other two, in sort of a vic-viper meets podracer configuration, but I just couldn't get the connections to look the way I wanted, so I took the cockpit further as its own build.
