And the fight is on! I do believe Carl needs a little Taste of Chicago right about now...

For those not in the know, fellow builder Carl Merriam and I are locked a duel to the death, or at least to the end of January. The magic ingredient for this round of Iron Builder is the odd white"Brick, Modified 2 x 3 x 2/3 Two Studs, Wing End".

This is my first build, a quick scene I put together right after work. I'm sure the rest will be far better planned and thought out. Right.

The season's not over yet! It's still the Eleventh day, right?

This is my second entry in my Iron Builder round vs. Carl Merriam.

Back off, frog. This is duck territory!

My third build in my Iron Builder round vs. Carl Merriam.

I didn't originally set out to intrude on Carl's territory. I was playing around with the seed piece, and found that I'd made what looked like (to my demented mind) a duck. A scene started developing in my head. I was thinking of adding a dog and a shotgun, but I decided on a different route...

For those questioning the look of these, the ducks are loosely based on Mallard Ducks, which are the most prominent species of duck around where I live.

So I built this big ol' setup, and then I chose an angle that cuts off 1/4 of it and blurred out the rest. So here's the (mostly) full scene, and in focus.

I do believe Carl just got served.

My fourth build in my Iron Builder round vs. Carl Merriam using the white seed piece.

I have no idea what's going on with that wall.
