hey it's felix

It's big, yes. And the overall shape is nice, yes.But I'm going to have to shoot it down on the colour scheme and flow of parts. While going for a completely random colour scheme is a great idea (heck, I'm working on a MOC like that at the moment) I think that having absolutely no order to where the colours are placed makes it look like a rushed job. I'm mainly talking about the black here. I'd suggest choosing either black or light grey, not both - yes legs, I'm lookin' at YOU.Onto the build - what's going on with the arms and legs? The body is nicely compact and solid, whereas the limbs look like they've had pieces torn out of them. I'm not really sure why those Mata arms are sticking out of his gun arm like that, I'd try and build them in closer to the arms itself instead of leaving them dangling out like loose skin. The hands could be a lot bigger, I don't understand why you didn't stick with the MOC's obvious theme of ball-joints and use Metru-toran limbs or Hordika necks.The legs look very unfinished around the Mata torsos, and I'm sure you could cover up the gap with some more pieces (perhaps stemming from the Technic hands just above the torsos?).Also do us a favour and put some ball-joints in those empty sockets, they look rather lonely Cool figure, but it looks very much like a WIP and not a finished MOC. Give it a clean up (if you want to take some advice) and it could look freaking awesome.-FtC

Yeah man, I totally love the music. I'm hooked on ColoUrs and Mayhem: Universe A at the moment (particularly the song 'Gold Pilot') but all the albums are pretty awesome. Hehe, yeah it's pretty surreal! I guess after being totally hooked on it I find myself wondering what to do with my spare time now...

So I started reading Homestuck a few weeks ago, and I've just now finally reached the current point. I sure as heck didn't see that coming. Although the lack of ==> saddens me, it's good to know that I'm up to speed with the storyline now. I guess I can finally call myself a MSPA fan with confidence -FtC

Heh, this is great. I really love the shoulder idea.How did you attach the legs to the dino head? I didn't know there was a connection point inside it o.O-FtC

Aww, it's so cuute :3I really like the simplicity. It reminds me of some of the smaller MOCs I used to do What would be nice to see would be some antennae, if possible. I'm pretty sure if you stick a t-bar in the axle-hole on the head you could attach some fingers (which I always find useful for attaching thingoes). Maybe some minifig swords or something would work? Idk.But heehee, good job. Also, I can't tell what colour those Bohrok-Kal shields are. Where did you get them? -FtC

^Click for le gallery^ My entry for round 1 against Lord Oblivion in our current MOC-off. I decided to go with a nimble, agile bot that was kind of reminiscent of a pixie or fairy. Lotsa fun! Anyway, I hope you guys appreciate it. The arms are a fusion of those on my two F33 MOCs that you may have seen, jsyk. C&C muchly appreciated! -FtC

Kinda true, yo. But I guess it's just a fun thing to do - bragging rights is all we're after really

Haha, glad you're all as enthusiastic about it as we are! LO's already submitted his first entry, if you haven't seen it already I'd go check it out

Two MOCists of considerable skill will compete against each other in a month-long MOC-off in 3 different themes. Lord Oblivion and I have been pretty much neck-and-neck in almost every contest (not to mention skill), and now is the time to settle who is the better MOCist once and for all! The three themes are: - Mecha/Robot - Obnoxious Colours - Switching Places Stay tuned from April 10 - May 10 as we post our MOCs from each category. Check out the Flickr group for more info and join it if you want. At the end of the month-long period scores will be given out by our anonymous judges. May the best MOCist win!

Thanks everyone! @LotR: Yeah, I dunno where the wheel pieces are from either, I bought them off a friend @Sumiki: I do agree that the back gun looks a tad weird. The light-grey pins on the sword are there to fill in the empty holes (I also thought it'd add a bit of texture, and I still do like them there ). I originally had an eye in the spot where that black dish is, but decided to keep it eyeless in accordance with F33-X2. I'm considering changing the pins to light-grey (don't have enough black ones for both guns :s). @Dralcax: I'd rather use the Kopaka blade than the katana, mainly because of its symmetry. I agree that the blue pins don't look great - as stated above I'm considering changing them to light grey.@Balta: I'm not too happy with the tyres around the arms either, but the ones you suggested would probably look even worse, to be honest Once again, thankyou for your comments <3-FtC

Mother of God...As a MOC it may not be amazing, but as a technique it's brilliant! Using the grooves in the red axles to their full potential - I love it.And I don't really care if it's an April fools joke, it really is quite ingenius -FtC

OOC: Well, that wasn't very nice... what happened to me?IC: ChorEvents had taken a rather odd turn then. Zlynn seemed to ignore him, then grab Joskiir and sprint off in the direction of the hospital. Chor stood next to the Ussal where Joskiir had lain just a second ago, watching Zlynn disappear into the distance. What on Mata-Nui was that all about? thought the Earthen Toa.Curious as ever, Chor picked up his shield and ran after Zlynn, although his pace was nowhere near matched to the other Earth Toa's.In proper lighting Joskiir looked even worse than before. Zlynn sat next to him as workers crowded around exchanging concerned looks.Chor didn't think Zlynn had seen him yet - not that it mattered of course, but recent events had made Chor suspicious of the other Earth Toa.

Oh heck yeah!You've really got the shape and proportions down-pact. The spines on its back are just amazing, and the head ain't too bad either.While I really do appreciate the shape of it and its 'filled-in-ness', I've gotta say that it does look cluttered. Having a colour-scheme is one thing, but colour layering is the real key to appealing aesthetics. What I'd like to see on this is having black as the skin layer, white as the 'armour' layer and red as the accents. I'd try and kick out the light grey and silver altogether, as they don't really seem to add anything to the MOC.I've really gotta commend you though. I've never been able to MOC on this scale, and you've just proven that you have a bit of a nack for it. Sorry if my C&C seems overly critical, I'm just offering advice -FtC

^Click for le Flickr gallery^ Yeah, I don't really give two fruitcakes about this one. I could've done a lot better, but eh, laziness. Built for Marchikoma on Flickr (hehe, only just scraped in on the last day!), it's meant to be a think tank. If you wanna see some examples of these, here's a whole group full of them. Thanks for viewing the topic, and C&C is much appreciated as per usual -FtC

OOC: Naa, being dead's no fun, let's see how long we can keep you alive for IC: ChorWith renewed urgency the two Toa carried shield and its burden to Chor's nearby mining party. Several Matoran ran out to meet them halfway, bombarding them with questions they didn't have time to answer. Carrying the unconscious Toa was easily done, as both Toa had abnormal strength. Carefully sliding him off the shield and onto the back of an Ussal, Chor couldn't help but wonder what important information this Toa had tried to tell them... and if so, could they bring him back to tell the other half of it?"Everyone pick up your gear, we're moving out!" announced Chor. "Hey Toa, what did he mean? Which mine blew up?" he added as he turned to Zlynn. Having been away for quite some time Chor needed a recap on some things.

^Click for Flickr gallery^ Further enhancement of the F33-type Mecha. Some of you may have seen F33-X2 before? Well this is the next step up. Mainly 'cos it's got teal and such. Anyway, C&C is always appreciated, folks. -FtC

IC: Chor"I have a party of Onu-Matoran heading back into Onu-Koro. We also have Ussals," said Chor to Zlynn. "We could take him back on one of them, you're welcome to accompany us if you wish."Chor took the shield off his back and handed one end to Zlynn. "Here, we'll lay him on this and carry him to the Ussals," Chor added. "I'm Chor, by the way. It is nice to see a fellow Earth Toa around here... what brings you to this marketplace?"

IC: ChorAfter almost a week, the mining party was on their way back. Chor had accompanied the group of Matoran and Ussals on their journey, for the route they had taken was an infamous one. Almost every step of the way, Chor and 3 Matoran Ussal-riders had to protect the mining party from either rockfalls or Rahi attacks.Chor was glad to be returning. As much as he knew that the mining party wouldn't have survived without him, he still would have preferred to stay back in Onu-Koro and perform less exhausting tasks. At the present moment Chor was leading the group, mechanically moving one leg after another to maintain the pace. Why on Mata-Nui didn't I bring an Ussal? thought Chor. Right now he wanted nothing more than to just lie down and do nothing for a couple of hours, but there were certain matters that needed attending to.There were no casualties from the journey, save for some lost mining equipment and an unlucky Matoran's broken arm. Chor had taken it upon himself to see that the Matoran miner had his arm fixed, and meant to take him to the hospital as soon as they were back in Onu-Koro. To add on to his duties, Chor was to report back to the Ussalry commander and return the borrowed Ussals.In the near distance lay a market. Seeing civilisation gave the mining party an excuse to quicken the pace, eager to see some old and perhaps new faces. Approaching the market, it was clear that not all was well. Several Matoran were crowded around two Toa, one of which was in no healthy condition. Chor rushed ahead of the mining party to the injured Toa's side, whereupon his eyes met with the Toa of Earth kneeling beside him."What happened to him?" asked Chor.

So last night I celebrated my friend's birthday and mine in the same party with about 15 friends, even though mine's not really until Tuesday. Somehow over the course of the night I managed to kick a frog about 3m by accident, before it happily hopped into the room we were sleeping in and hurled itself at me. I think I got about an hour of sleep this morning, consequently I'm none too bright for study and such. In other words, it was a good party. Also, I just noticed that I'm on 42 posts Cool stuff. -FtC

Yay, thanks everyone, especially Nukaya. I'll see if I can get started sometime this weekend, although I've also got a b'day party to go to

Haha, cheers. So how exactly does one integrate oneself into an RPG?
