LEGO Dreamz Unicorn

My favorite book series is a series of books by author Shayne Silvers. Shayne Silvers has several great characters but the main story revolves around a wizard named Nate Temple. Shayne has written over 35 books since 2018 or so. I started reading (listening on Audible) over a year ago. I finished relistening to all of the books this morning and I’m starting to red the one book that is not yet on Audible: Boilermaker. The good thing is that this book continues after what had happened in the last book that I listened to, Snakebite.

In the books Nate has a surly Alicorn named Grimm and from all descriptions of Grimm I thought that this LEGO Alicorn from the Dreamz sets looked exactly like I would picture Grimm. Although he has feathers with red tips and I;’m not sure if I can recreate that to make it look closer to that look. I also think the character on Grimm’s back looked very much like Nate with his Horseman of Hope mask.

Fully Printed Sword of Omens

This is the Sword of Omens fully printed and I even found craft dowels to add to it to strengthen it. I still have a lot of work to do to actually assemble it. I do have to reprint part of the handle because the first time I printed it the bottom curled up and peeled away from the hotbed. I ended up adding some supports to it so that it would print flat. I also will have to do a lot of sanding and also add some filler to it before it can be printed. I also noticed that one piece does not quite fit into another and I’ll need to sand that down as well. I’ll also have to sand the larger dowel down in order for it to fit through one smaller part of the handle. Once I have it all assembled I’ll see if the Prestons’ daughter Cady would like to paint it.
