The rahi is as finished as I can get her at this point because I left both of my "Tool" buckets at home, so 99% completion minus a few trim peices that I dont have with me right now. Stay tuned for a topic update!!!!! Woo This is one of my biggest so far I think!
I rebuilt Rayzaurak's legs and hips, and I am very pleased with the outcome. All I need to do to finish him is add the trim touches. It supports its own weight fairly well in many poses, and can be posed to walk now! I have a few more things to do to it to make it even better, so it will be awesome for Brickfest.
I have some Good ideas for Paruvak's Rahi, and I'm going to build the head for Vakatu's Rahi so I can brainstorm its body too. All good stuff here folks!
Now, off I go to part ou
Looks like I am going back home for a week on monday. I'll have most of that time to build, but then will have to pack up all my parts and bring them back to anchorage with me so I can get all my giant rahi finished in time. I'd rather get all those done before the Reikia, as I feel they will make a much more compelling display at brickfest. Rayzauraks legs and feet are going to get reworked too, and if I have time, I'll modify the torso to make it lighter.
I plan to rebuild my main characte
I am hoping hoping hoping that I will be able to get my display built in time for brickfest. I am stuck in anchorage till this weekend (I hope not longer). I need to get back home and build. I am totally sweating it for the fact that I need to build 3 giant rahi, and build the rest of the Reikia too. The Suvika themselves need a little touching up, especially on their legs. I may incorporate a poseable waist into the models at a later time.
I wanted to retouch on Rayzaurak too and give him
Hey everyone, I thought I would share a small tidbit of my work with y'all. After posting that silly looking Nokama, I felt I had to post something really awesome.
Click on the thumbnails to see better pictures.
These are pictures of a violin that I have already finished. These pics were taken during the building process when I glued the top on.

Seems like the worst of the coughing and headaches are gone, but I am still getting weird chills. I feel like I can go to work today and assemble some stuff without getting dizzy everytime I stand, or turn too fast.
Well, enough about sickiesick, I have some other things to chat about. I just made my chibi Barraki banner the other day and I like it enough to use it over the piraka banner! I've also been getting prepared to make instructions for them. I may work on them tonight.
I also pos
I feel like I'm coming down with something baaaddd......
Its been a while since my skin hurt from goosebumps. Constantly feeling chills running down my spine, pain in the back, excessive coughing.... I hope it doesnt getreally bad. I dont need another fever of 104. That happened when I was in JR high, and I lost 15 lbs. ouch
I hope this thing doesnt get really bad. Time to start pumping the Tea and getting plenty of rest. Oi oi oi...
Now time to go be miserable for a while........... W
"I'll help out with whatever you want, for the right price...." You heard it, I'm taking on space as the Han Solo knockoff wannabe smuggler Dash Rendar. He's so awesome LOL He's got a cool sidekick droid co-pilot named Leebo, and he is awesome too!
Hey guys and gals, I made some "Shrinky Dinks" Bionicle keychains. I'm going to make Thok into a magnet cause his loop was too thin and broke off when I flattened it. I accidentally made the tahu nuva one backwards too LOL. Oh well, trial and error for the first batch The detail is pretty good, and its kinda hard to capture it in a photo. If I get enough interest in these, I'll make a bunch and trade em for stuff Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone! I made it home safely, and managed to take some pics on my trip! Click on the thumbnails to see a larger image. The trip totals about 120 miles. It got too dark for me to take pictures for the last 40 miles. I'll post another entry about Seward life in a day or two with more pictures. For now, enjoy the Alaskan scenery!

Wish me luck.... I'm making the 140+ mile icy drive back today. I hope the roads aren't TOO bad. I expect wet pavement on the first 30-50 miles, but after that, who knows. I called the highway report line and there is only information for the last 40 miles and they say black ice. There isnt even a report for the most dangerous part of the drive I hope its not un-driveable. I'll be sure to pull over for sanity breaks and take some pictures during the trip, so you can all see a glimpse of some Al
I just got my hands on some Hearts of Space radio show episodes. Talk about some great music for Trials of Terror! I remember tuning in to this show when I was living up in Fairbanks, and getting to watch the northern lights swirl about in their beautiful lightedness whilst listening to beautiful soundscapes. They've been broadcasting the show since the 80's and they host all kinds of contemporary space music. Its especially nice for when you want to relax, or just listen to something that you'v
I worked pretty hard on a new bit of info for Trials of Terror. Diligently working in MS word, I came up with about half of my story sequence with time approximations of how long the scenes will be. This movie might end up being longer than 2 hours....... Depending on how long it ends up being, I may end up releasing it in episodes. Then when the entire movie is finished, I'll have a downloadable link on my Trials of Terror website (which is still in the making) when the movie is all put togethe
I have the house to myself. I took my mom to the airport yesterday. Shes going down to see the new grandbaby, my little nephew. I'm so excited about being an aunt! I now have a nephew I can spoil, and corrupt with bionicle when he reaches the right age! Mwaahahahaaaaa!
I made a quick animation tonight of avak blasting zaktan, then suddenly avak's getting tossed around by mirkatuva! It should be pretty funny when done, although the camera moved a few times when making it because of the table cl
Hey everyone, I felt like posting up these sneak peek concept images of what my giant rahi may look like!
Kokatas rahi
Vakatus rahi
Paruvaks rahi
I'm not sure on vakatu's rahi, but let me know what you think!
Looks like I won't be leaving Anchorage for a while yet. The road is closed and they are cleaning up avalanches on the highway. Driving conditions are also too hazardous due to high wind, ice, rain and snow. Funny thing about the Seward Highway, its rated as one of the most beautiful sightseeing highways in the country, yet it is the most dangerous to drive in the winter. LOL
I heard rumors that after the short clear spell we're going to get, its going to be a whopper doozie 40" snowstorm!!!!
Well, I was taking a good brainthought on Akitsu and what I should do with her. I will probably chibi the model, but then I have this wonderful torso that is left over. I thought and thought, and then was like Meh, and forgot about it. I started drawing concept designs for my last two giant rahi when a stunning revelation hit me. Turn akitsu's torso so its facing chest to the ground, and you have a perfect catlike torso. I think I'm going to build Kokatas Giant Rahi off Akitsus torso! I am think
Hoooeeeeee, I finally ventured into the Blog section. I was a bit lost at first, but quickly found my way around. I plan to talk about daily life up here in alaska. Its been snowing a WHOLE lot lately, and the snow is to my shoulders (I'm 5'8"). It hasn't snowed like this since I was young, and it feels good.
Amidst all the shoveling I do to keep my Quonset huts free of snow and my paths clear, cleaning apartments across the street, or driving to and from Anchorage every other week or two t
I am so excited! I chatted with my brother last night, and he is talking about building my website for me!!! Not only will it have a section dedicated to Trials of Terror, it will also have pictures of the violins I build, as well as my other hobbies. Y'all will be able to learn a little more about the mysteries of Roa.
He said he was going to get it roughed out soon, so hopefully there will be a movie website soon! I am crossing my fingers!
