My mum showed me a journal from my great grandfather who served in world war one. So I am making a series of vigs based on some of his entriesI will change bodies around so the way to recgonize me granddad is he has an enfield

"they said I was lucky, my unit were the only ones with helmets, the general said to expand the trench. So I went on on digging while capt. mac millan layed duck boards and gdsm parish built the breast works. eventually I ran into a filled in shell hole with a body in it. as I shoveled up a mound of dirt I noticed an arm was in it I thought I would throw up. it is the first day and its already hell."

Great work, and I've always wondered, what does gdsm stand for?

They are making Lego Rockband and Harry Potter, and they are remaking Indiana Jones
IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR LEGO HALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that is cool that it actually has history behind it! I should try that as one of my grandfathers was in WWII and another a paratrooper in Vietnam.

I love the history behind this! Being able to dig through a whole journal-full of history must have been amazing! I like how you've conveyed the different colors of the dirt using different pieces, and the amoutn of texturre you've created inside the bunker, using slopes. Good work, good idea-- what more can I hope for?

Trying, and failing is much better, than not trying at all.

Very good. Was the last picture intended to be fuzzy?

You need brickarms to get a girlfriend.
You need legos to build one.
