I started making a revamp of Sidorak maybe a month ago, then I got bored and finished him off rather lazily, then took one photo before my rubbish camera's batteries ran out. I had better uses for the parts, so I took Sidorak apart before I could take any more pictures. Didn't think a single picture was topic worthy, so here it is in blogness.
Anyone know where I can find the font with the correct symbols used for numbers? I found a version on BZP, but that doesn't have the correct symbols for numbers.
I've decided to start posting top fives of totally random things. I wanted to start off by saying these are my personal thoughts, you are welcome to disagree, and I would be more than happy to see your own rankings of things. Also, some of these may not even be based off experience, but stuff I've seen on the internet, or magazines or whatever. First hand experience may affect the order of things, but who knows, Anyway, First off, I decided to go Lego Star Wars. I wanted to start familiar
Working on a new epic, and taking a different style to normal. Less crash/bang action, more sort of political, maybe? Probably not the right word. Action with intermediate spells of sophisticated dialogue regarding the reasons for the action. Or something like that.
I'd like to think I make sufficient an impact on the forums that people would notice that I'd gone on holiday for a week, but that's probably wishful thinking. Anyway, I've been in Cornwall for the week. Most of it was beaches, playing pool, and having to drive far too much. The one day I'll cover in slight detail is Friday, or at least I think it was Friday. Me and my friends went to Truro. While walking about the shopping area, my eyes were drawn to Hawkin's Bazaar, mainly as I thought
Today I bade farewell to the car I learnt to drive in. Its been a firm friend, naturally there were good times, bad times, and of course, the time it took me ten minutes to get the bonnet open. So if on peoples worldly travels, you see a little blue Ford Ka registered KG03 OGN, say 'Hi' from Taipu1. Although the likely hood is that it will be scrapped. However, I have a bright future ahead of me with a Volkswagen Up!!
Sometimes think of changing my name to Tapuon. Kinda like Taipu1, but with an obvious pronunciation, and an illusion of originality. Possible loss of recognition though?
This evening I did an interview for my sisters University dissertation. I think she was expecting to be talking to somebody who doesn't answer just "Yes" or "No" Mind you, I felt I at least had opinions on Online communities.
Wasn't expecting this to come up at all, but I was clearing out the garage this weekend and came across a certain artefact that I had "chucked out" years ago. It's a box that had my mums yoga equipment in it, and in 2003-2004 ish, I drew stuff on it to make it look like an Ussanui. Okay it looks nothing like an Ussanui at all, but it was a surprise to see the thing again after it had languished in my room for years and then been thrown out. The rectangle cut in the top used to have a flap on
Going out on a limb and making another F1 related Blog entry. The last one went down about as well as Kopaka in a curry house. So, does anybody out in the world of BZPower follow the racing series? What team(s) are you behind, and what do you think of the season so far? I'll settle for any motorsport fandom, although I don't really follow anything outside of F1 and WRC.
New I shoulda preordered AC3, I was like a day late for getting that DLC. Don't see why you can't just have the outfit anyway, you wear it on the Aquila, why not outside of naval missions?
So yeah, basically I'm working on a MNOLG style comics series, inspired to some extent by Takuma Nuva's series from way back... Couple of questions though, firstly how can you sort out this blurry dot stuff when you make a gif image. For the record I put the comic together in MS powerpoint, save the slideshow as a GIF, then string the images together in a program called Unfreeze. Which leads me onto a second question, what would be a good frame delay? The above image has 3 seconds between e
A little peeve of mine, why do people not honour the 1? My display name is Taipu1, not Taipu! Yes, it's unoriginal, but it's what I've been known as for 6 years on here, so I'm not changing it. But there is a 1 there!
I feel if I post this, I might be more compelled to follow up with these things. Post Mata-Nui MOC Finish Escape the Mind Rewrite Start first episode of Shadow Chronicles There's some motivation for me.
I've been toying with the idea of MOCing Akamai and Wairuha, but with a less stunted appearance. But with that: What colour schemes do you think would be good? My personal thoughts were Gold and Red for Akamai, and Silver and green for Wairuha, but that perhaps doesn't give much credit to the other 4 Toa involved in the process of forming Kaita.
Is there a better way to spend an evening than ripping stuff out of MNOLG 2 and the MNOLG style kit to create a pointless scene in MNOLG where you have your own house? I don't think so. Yeah, suppose I need to just throw a word out to Matoran Onknu, Takuma Nuva and Roablin for various things there.
This is one of the most nostalgic images of my childhood. In August/September of 2005 I went to Legoland Windsor. I saw the Tower of Toa in the Big Shop, and convinced my parents to buy it for me for my birthday. Being cruel parents, they agreed to but I wasn't allowed to have it until my birthday. So they hid it in their bedroom. I managed to find it, it was on top of the wardrobe. Being only 10 at the time, I could reach it, but it was tantalisingly close to being in reach. 11 October
