Greetings, BZPower fans! As you might guess from the title, I have received the entries for the final round of our MoCist Duels contest! So without further ado, let's begin!
To start with, here is the original challenge:
---------------------------------------------------
~ Your MoC must be a re-vamp of one of the Toa Nuva Phantoka (Lewa, Kopaka, or Pohatu)
~ Your MoC may not be a Makuta Phantoka
~ Your MoC must use the original Phantoka mask as the Toa's mask
~ It must be obvious th
Hey everyone! I have a hankering to start up a blog contest. I have actually had the idea for this type of contest for a while now, but I didn't have a blog to place it in at that time. But know, I do! So, what is this idea that I've got? Here we go:
BZPower MoCist Duels!!!
So, what exactly would these be? Simply put, they would be a one on one building duel between two of the better MoCists here on BZPower. The contest would work alot like the BBC contests, except that they would be betwe
Hey guys! Sorry for the poll getting closed, I just should have read the rules. I have learned my lesson.
However, moving on, I shall now conduct the voting from my blog now. To vote simply leave the names of the two members that you want to compete (Just two please) in a comment. Everything else is the same (see the blog entry before this one).
Our contestants are:
Arpy
Dr. Keerahk

ToM Dracone
What?
55555
So, go ahead and vote!
All that I'm lacking is his helmet. I still can't find Metus anywhere, so my dad is ordering him this evening. He should be in before next week, which will give me plenty of time for photography (It's spring break!!! )
Aside from the helmet, everything else is pretty much complete in my opinion. His color scheme is as follows: white, white armor, some gray spattering with light blue as his secondary color. In addition, he has some trans/light blue highlights.
He possesses a crystal sword/
Greetings BZPower members! I am happy to say that I have received both of the entries for the BZP MoCist Duels contest* round one, built by our two Duelists: Roa McToa and Darth Vader.
As a reminder, the original challenge was this:
---------------------------------------------------
Your MoC must contain:
~ Green (any shade), black (only black, no gray), and silver pieces.
~ Only the above listed colors are allowed. If your MoC contains any other colors than these, it shall be insta
Now in case you are wondering what a WAD pic is, it stands for "Work Almost Done", as opposed to a WIP: "Work In Progress". Anyway, here it is:
This is my first 100% custom torso, and I've gotta say, I like it lots!
It still needs a few tweaks, but it's pretty much done. Oh, and I need a name too... got any suggestions?

Greetings all! Here we have the challenge for the MoCist Duels Contest!
Draco and Arpy, I present to you your MoCing challenge. I need to remind you that there is only going to be one challenge, as opposed to last time, when there were three "rounds". This time, there will be only one.
Also, as a quick note, from now on, there will always be three sections to a challenge; the color, pieces, and theme.
Here are the criteria for your MoC:
------------------------------------------------
Ok peoples, due to the fact that our Duelists are tied for the Champion status, I have decided to do a mini tie-breaker challenge.
Duelists, your mini challenge is this:
You must build a MoC that uses no more than 20 pieces. You can build whatever you like, just don't go over that limit. Pegs/bushings/axles do not count into the number limit.
You now have until Sunday evening to send in your MoC, but the sooner the better. The actual voting shall last for one day (Monday).
So, get MoCi

Hey guys! Well, apparently I received both of these entries sometime late last night. 72 hours is a bit tight, huh duelists?
Anyhoo, We shall now begin with the round two voting...
Here is the original challenge:
---------------------------------------------------
Your MoC may not contain:
~ Any ball sockets what-so-ever

With that said, I suppose that I shall reveal the entries. Draco Cyanopterus, I changed my mind, and I hav
Who lowered my blog rating down to three stars? :angry: What have I done to deserve this? I demand that you come out and show yourself! And I just got back up to 4.1...
Not that it really matters.

I was just barely able to enter! (from my perspective, that is). Normally I'm not a push-it-to-the-limits kind of guy. But then BZPower's server had to go and get busy on me... Anyway, here's my entry!
Yay for mini tanks! I hope to get the topic up sometime tomorrow. Sheesh I didn't have much time for these guys; only two days! Well, I'm satisfied with the result at any rate. The tanks are quite compact and all of the connection points for the liftarms within them are put together in s
Darth Vader!
I would like to explain a few things first. I realize that it appeared as if the duelists were tied in the last round, but due to and oversight on my part, Roa didn't actually get the last vote, and thus, DV was one vote over Roa!
On that note, I would like to present to DV his trophy ...
There you go! Originally, the trophy was a little shinier and it was all circular, the corners were transparent. Sadly, the process of saving it as a .jpg sortof ruined it. I had
Guys and Gals, I am wondering if I should change my user name. I really like the one that I have, but I thought that it would be good to have a simple one or two word name, like Tufi Piyufi, Darth Vader, Blue Diamond or Cajun. ~GreenBioGuy~ is neat, and it seems to roll off of the tongue, but it is also a bit complicated and long.
So, do you think that my name is good the way it is? Or would it be a good idea to switch to a more simple name that is more straight forward (and doesn't have any
No, sorry, this is not a post on the MoCist Duels. Rather, it is a request for some advice.
Namely, how do you make a titan sized MoC stand up for an extended period of time? I am currently in the process of working on a new MoC of mine, and it is very hard to pose. The tough part is that I have given him reverse ankles, and thus his center of balance is a bit off... I guess. So, calling all of you experienced MoCists out there, I need your advice!
~GBG~
This evening I've got a little MoC I'd like to show ya.
First of all, however, I would just like to note that I threw this together in about an hour and a half.
I didn't have much of a plan on what I wanted to build here, but my main reasons for making him were:
1) try out a new shoulder/arm build which I had thought of earlier that day
2) try out a new color scheme
In other words, this wasn't that serious of a MoC.
I'm planning on getting a topic done up sometime soon, but u
Hello everyone! I have now recieved the two entries from our Duelists. Thus, it is time to begin the voting!
Just as a reminder, the original challenge was this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Color:
~ Must contain three colors (primary color, secondary color, and armor color)
Pieces:
~ Must use at least two Kanohi masks
~ Must use a visorak body piece
~ Must use at least three transparent pieces
Theme:
~ Must build an OoM
Ok, so I was wondering what you guys thought to changing my name to Samus Aran. Sure, I know that she's a her and I'm a him, but I love her series and character. I know that GreenBioGuy is unique and more... Bioniclish, but I thought it'd be cool to be known as a video game character. Or do you think that I'm already known as GBG the way it is? The thing is, DV named himself after a famous movie character, but on the flip side awesome guys like Blue Diamond and Shan came up with completely uniqu
I'm wondering how to do my Certavus' color scheme. Currently, I've got a majority of white over light blue with a strategic spattering of trans-blue throughout. I have used as little black as possible (next to zero) and I'm using a bit of gray.
However, I'm wondering: should I use something that I would actually associate with an ice Glatorian (like white and light blue), or should I do something completely different for uniqueness sake? I want to use white for sure, but what about the secon
I'm considering either placing a parts order or buying some new sets for summer MoCing soon.
First off, I know that I'm gonna want to finish off my (un-entered) BBCC #53 entry, so I'm gonna need some good black pieces and a bit of lime too. I know that some of the Batman sets would be swell for the system side of things there. As to lime, I can just order that seperately (unless there are some good sets which contain it).
Secondly, I would like to branch out (as you guys have suggested) an
Well guys, here is my BBCC #53 WIP pic:
Heh, as is evident by now, I will not be entering.
Ah well.
See the gallery for more shots of him (they are at the bottom below Certavus)
Please post any thoughts you have on him!
Also, I just need like 2 more votes in the Final Final Certavus Poll to place fourth!
~GBG~
... according to MoCing level, what would you say if I asked you to rate me from 1 - 5? I would have to say... 3.5.
BTW, I believe that I have decided upon the rules for the blog contest, and the starter blog entry should be up earlier on in the week!
~GBG~
Yar, take that you system lover people!
Wait... I was just starting to use system in earnest! *facepalm* Oh, the irony!
Well... due to the fact that I will be gone right up until a few days before the deadline, I'm unsure if I will be able to enter. (though I will try, oh yes!) I'm gonna have to place a larger-ish order from you-know-where in the next few days... Oh, and there will be no green present!
Regardless of whether I can enter or not, I will be very intrigued to see what s

Oh, and don't forget that I have this guy to pull parts from too!
Now, I'd love to know what you think! How did I do in what I chose, and the quantities thereof? How about the price (for those of you experienced in
