    Hello Everyone! Here are a two new tree designs I worked on recently. I was inspired by the rainy weather and wanted to try a new composition outside in my back yard. My main sources of inspiration were the claw and fern elements, which I've only tried to varying amounts.

    Thank you for viewing and enjoy your day! :)

    Hello Everyone!

    My name is Taj and I am a TFOL and Lego MOC builder. Currently I am 16 years old however my 17th birthday is this coming May 8. I have been a Lego enthusiast since I received my first Lego set for my 5th birthday. While I love lego sets, since the beginning I would prefer taking apart my sets and building my own MOCs. For a while I watched the Lego online community but never took the steps to participate. That is until a year ago where I began a Flickr account and began to share my MOCs online. From that first interaction I was met with a passionate group of Lego fans I could connect with. Since then I've mainly participated in MOC building competitions and monthly challenges including the Summer Joust, Brickscalibur, Novhenmber, and Marchitecture. Now I am slowly continuing to find a lego community and interacting with fellow builders.

    In my daily life I am a high school student athlete. I train in Taekwondo and compete in Olympic Style Sparring nationally. I began in 20215 and have competed on the national level since 2016. I also live in Montana and love to spend my free time in the outdoors. From hiking and trail running, to skiing and camping, I prefer to spend my time exploring the creation around us. I also use my experiences and photos as inspiration for a majority of my builds. Moreover I love learning about the world, its cultures, sites, and people. Some of my greatest experiences have been the times where I have traveled abroad.

    With Lego in general I love creating medieval and fantasy inspired MOCs. While less so I also am a fan of and build Star Wars and Lord of the Rings MOCs.

    Have a great day and thank you for welcoming me to the Rogue-Bricks Community! :)
