In between realities

I cant do it anymore. I can't read the Twee anymore. I'm sure those cats are probably pretty nice, meek fellows in real life but their blog makes me want to punch them in the monitor.

Boring? Whatever. I love this as it's right up my alley! LEGO Peasantry and medieval life that isn't so overbuilt that it borders on the hilarious. I like the fences a lot, I noticed that TLG used something pretty similar to that in The Ostrich Race and thought it would be a wonderful starting point to making something a fence/s like these. The colouring is so nice. I like how he did not do any mottling ie: the grass is green, the path is dark tan and the house has it's own colours making it pop right off the base. I also like the timbers on the side and how there is just a hint of stone foundation to be seen. One, very small thing that I don't like is the shape of the base. More specifically, how the lowest corner [in the picture above] is more squarish than the rest of it. See? Small thing.

Oh, and the black around the bottom edge is a really nice way to finish it!

I left my clothes on, what more do you want?

My Bricklink store

Hello and welcome.
Feel free to look around and ask if you don't see what you want. I may have it. Please keep in mind that this is a supplement to my own LEGO hobby so I'm not really the quickest shipper around but five days is a long time, even for me.

Thanks, and welcome to Okotoks Brickshop! I've decided to 'reopen' my Bricklink store with a new fervor. My hopes are to be able to have it at least support my LEGO hobby and I think for that to work, I need to not only offer the pieces "I don't need" but also some of the more exciting items that other Bricklinkers want too.
You many find many items in my store that are listed as used but that's because I've had them in my storage bins for so long and some have never been used or have probably come out of my personal collection or have never been used in something I've built but may have some scratching etc. from me rummaging through my parts bins.


Many of my parts are listed as USED but are really in quite new condition as they have. So they are gently used by and AFOL...me. Parts listed as NEW are from a box I have opened myself.

Who could have thought that such emotion could be portrayed by two little LEGO people?
