Hi all,

I've already posted the two buildings shown here, but I've added quays and roads to tie it all together.

Here's an overview of the whole thing:

A view along the street:

And a view of the bus stop:

I'm starting to see the flaws in my road system, which has been partially built for some time but never suspended above the table until now, and it's a bit flimsy. Can't say that I'll ever go full-MILS, but I do need to toughen things up with baseplates before I expand the city any further, so I'll probably end up adopting the standard road section height at some point.

The Christmas holidays gave me a bit of time to complete the fourth installment in my "Legends and Lore" series.

The Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine-tailed Fox) is a well-known character in Japanese folklore. This magical creature lives for an incredibly long time and grows a new tail for each century of spiritual training and wisdom. Upon gaining its ninth tail, the Kitsune has reached its full powers and its tails may begin to turn golden or white in colour.

Some of you saw the work-in-progress X-Wing come a cropper during the Wacky Racers event at the member's day.

These will be featured in future versions of my Battle of Hoth display, replacing the various ones from sets I've been using up to now.

Each one is based on a specific fighter from the movies.

This is my improved version of a tree I made a few years ago. Some of you will have already seen it as part of my layout in the Blessington. The new version is larger and more sturdy than the older one. I have provided some extra photos on Flickr of a cutaway part and the key elements I used to get it to branch out in several directions.

So I brought in some Lego to decorate in work again this year. There's only a couple of new things since my setup last year. There's a few Lego baubles hanging from the ceiling and the more ornament type sets are on my desk.

Anyone that has come in to take a look I've asked if they want to make a minifig to put in the display. A few have played around with the figures, even setting up a polar bear to attack the Gingerbread baby.

There's a colleague retiring next year who goes above and beyond decorating the office each year and asking me for weeks leading up to December if I'm making anything. So I took too long to make a larger scale version of her desk and a section of her office with her decorations.

I was working on a Star for Christmas Tree. I used lots of leaves and some lights. Hope you enjoy it.
It was showed in Limerick at Brickmas event.

For contest Recycle My Bicycle at New Elementary
When another Part Fest came out and I saw Bone Fish made by Ben Tritschler, he inspired me to do a fish.
I used two new bicycle parts to make it. I connected them using Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Horizontal (61252) and plate round. I added few parts like Minifigure, Wing Feathered (11100), Cattle Horn - Long (13564), Arm with Technic Pin (28660).

Introducing my two city MOCs built to date.

First, the pub and bookshop.
