Part 5 is up, right here. I’ll do what I know to do because apparently the Brick Stories page is not operational … more work at the coal-face coming up! But anyway, enjoy!

Patty, the mechanic, who came and went. Boss thought she might be able to fix the run-about. She thought it a pile of buffle* you-know-what. “Should start again,” she said. “There’s quite a good one going second-hand at Brick Resales, you know that place?”
Part Three of the saga is out–on the Brick Stories Page–up on the Menu. Telling you again because we have new readers.
*A ‘buffle’ is the type of buffalo that this story’s herders breed. The buffles are out there grazing the swamp grasses. Below, the buffle herd.
Lego: MILS Again
I’m sure Lego fans will get sick of me posting about MILS plates. They’re great but I don’t have the dollars to make eight or twelve of them and only then add landscaping.
So when I decided to raise my town to above so-called sealevel, I built a Duplo + Lego foundation plate in the MILS format.
Tomorrow another one …
Brick Stories continued …
A while ago, when I thought I had plenty of energy, I started a second blog to be dedicated to Lego. Then followed a couple of months that had to be dedicated to me keeping my health on the positive side of the baseline. Which were followed by another couple of months …ya dee ya dee … you’ve heard it all before.
The upshot is that I don’t have enough energy to maintain two blogs. This one is it.
So. Now. I’m transferring stuff.
The most economical way to post up the Brick Stories–in time and effort–is to turn them into PDFs, too. But they’ll be posted on their own page, “Brick Stories”, up there in the menu. Though I do plan to ‘signpost’ whenever I put up a new one on this page.
As here … click on the heading and you’ll get to it. OR go to the menu in the usual way.

Lego Robot
My new not-yet-totally-complete robot posing against the experimental terra-forming.
The robot is from the Dreamzz series, set 71454. He’s called Z-Blob but I will be thinking up a name appropriate to the role he’ll be playing in the the ongoing storying.
The terra-forming needs over-painting in places, and a way to attach the long sides to each other that will allow changing the pieces around. Maybe.
In the story, there’s a city in the background on the other side of the mud-flats and river channel, that I’m still cogitating how to make. Paint and draw? Collage? A 2D Lego build? What do you think?
Lego, Puzzle One
It’s harder to set up than it looks, even for me, and I invented it.
There’s one piece missing … it’ll be in the post as soon as I have my computer back and can get to my favourite Bricklink store … but I want to get begun on my next project.
I started it as an experimental thing seeing how these slopes could work together. One thing led to another.
