On the third novel (Lost Destiny) of the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social. I really should have read it thirty plus years ago.

Also working on some more BattleTech Minis.

I just finished Lethal Heritage, Book One of the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy. By @michaelastackpole.bsky.social.

Excellent Book. Kicking myself for waiting almost 35 years to read it.

Love Stackpole's work.

Read his work, especially "In Hero Years... . I'm Dead".

"Mad Jack"

"Do you know the Tale of Mad Jack? The Forestman who lost his way?

If you are most unfortunate, you may encounter Mad Jack on All Hallows Eve.

Few who meet Mad Jack are ever heard from again."

One of my favorite pics I took a year ago

So...after 30+ years of reading SARNA and sourcebooks, im finally diving into BattleTech.

The Game and the Novels.

I blame my Buddy Winter, and Michael Stackpole, whom I've read a lot of his work but missed his BattleTech novels....so of course I have to read them.

ANUBIS, GUIDE TO THE AFTERLIFE

One of my most sought after minifigs, Anubis Guard, is now mine.

This minifig was only found in the Scorpion Pyramid set (#7327) which was part of the Pharaoh's Quest line.

THE ORIGINAL BLACKTRON

First released in 1987, the Blacktron were the first "bad guys" introduced to LEGO Space. They, along with Futuron, were the first Space Factions created and replaced the Classic Spacemen.

THE ORIGINAL SPACEMAN

Lego first released the Classic Space sets in the late 1970s.

I say that the Red Spaceman was the first Space Minifig. This is based on set #885 has the lowest set number in that first year.

Valarian of the Vladak

One of my favorite Lego Torsos helps me create one of my favorite minifigs.

I rarely have any idea where inspiration will come from.

I need to create a website for my pics and their stories

"Vintage High"

As a little side project, I take some of my weirder ideas, contract artists, and vendors and create Merch. Mostly stickers but also some pins.

Been thinking of new products.

Cryptids of Route 66?
