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."

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 go to the same school as Homeboy john, Joejoejoemo, and ODST. I LOVE THE BEATLES!!! THEY ARE MY FAVORITE BAND! copy this into your signature if you think the same :).
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people Livin' for today, Aaaahaaaahaha. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Maybe someday you'll join us, and the world will be one..............

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.
