Ah, Iron Builder. No event draws out such a selection of high quality builds so quickly as a round of Iron Builder - and a new one has just begun! This month's challenger Grant Davis has just posted his first build with the "balloon" pieces; a lovely, serene scene of a lily-pad on a pond. This is only the first of what I'm sure will be plenty of great builds posted over the next month, and I can't wait to see what else Grant and his opponent come up with as the competition heats up!
Feast your eyes on this stunning figure by Eero Okkonen, his eighth entry in this round of the Iron Builder extravaganza. Note the large green Duplo grass piece which is the required element. At first glance, such a piece would seem to be a serious pain in the backside. But if you're creating a Goddess of Light with long, flowing green hair, it might be the first thing you dig out of the parts bin. Beautiful!
