The Bell





How the tides spin to thee, how aloft from clouds not earthborn, the shores between eternity and all the sun shines pon today bring not forth the release of knowing.
I dreamt of universal halls, yet my children were not there gathered, nor in the village could I hear them sound out with the gulls of May.
What stories we imagine when we are alone.
Friends disturb me with their sympathies, they mean well, yes, but often all I feel in words and glances of return is to punish back with burden.
Sometimes its good to live away, isolate from social pastures where in denizens spend months apart from the land and harbour. Tis like a long winter sleep and neither light nor darkness extends from beneath an idle moon.
I cherish her in memories yet these thoughts perish me. Awakening from them is like a thaw. And the bell sang its sound yet it was not a sound, but a connection to another world.

The Outrider
The Outrider is a craft I really love, designed by Doug Chiang for the Shadows of the Empire project. It was a ship I chose as one of my first attempts at scratchbuilding. I made it out of cardboard and kit parts so it became a little flimsy quite fast but I enjoyed the experience and the learning curve it provided.
The first image is a primitive period render and the second a pretend magazine article based on how it might have been presented in something akin to Starlog in days of yore.
Wanting to improve and build a better model, the last montage is a current work in progress of a new scratchbuild of the ship utilizing standard styrene. I have to say I am a very slow builder and taking my time on this but I hope to continue it sometime soon.
