I still would like to know any thoughts you guys have on my current project!
@ staff: this is not a comments drive; I simply want to know what my fellow MoCists have to say on the topic.
Since I posted this last week, I have fixed the lower legs so that they integrate more technic, and I think I've got a good upper leg design.I still need to change the arm cannon and add a head. The back isn't done yet either. We're getting close!
(all of that ^^^ in response to the first comments)

I don't have much time to give my thoughts, but I can summarize. The movie was EPIC and AWESOME to say the least, especially regarding the whole Pandora world. I absolutely loved all of the fictional creatures and I found myself ogling at the various glowing plants, strange lizards which fly by spinning their wings in a rapid canopy above them, awesome six legged horses, and floating mountains among other things.
The story over-all was solid, even though you knew what was going to happen pret
I will not be entering, due mainly to the fact that I simply have not had time to build something really good, and no mind-blowing ideas came to me to begin with. Sad, yes, but you can't enter them all. There are some really amazing entries this time around; stuff which I would have no hope of competing with. I sorta built a Han Solo, but there wasn't anything innovative about him really... BBCC's just don't hold the weight with me as they used to (I'm growing up I guess) I am looking forward to
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
Well, this afternoon I got Turaga Starz Taka on impulse. I was actually looking to see if they had any Atlantis sets yet (I had no idea when they were being released). They did not, and I moseyed on down to the BIONICLE section and saw the starz sets just sitting there as happy as could be. My eyes fell on Taka, and it occured to me that he was white and my current MoC project is white themed as well. Upon inspecting the included pieces, I came to the conclusion that the purchasing of said set c
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
Name change to that? ^^^
Thoughts?
Also, Project Fusion is progressing very well. I do believe that the torso and arms are for the most part complete and I just need to duplicate the lower left leg and foot for the right side and then come up with a fluid upper leg design that is better than the current one. Still no idea when it'll be done though, much less pictures be taken. I'm considering doing WIP pics soon. If I get enough requests I probably will.

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
Oh YES.
I got the Metriod Prime Trilogy a few days ago as sortof an early Christmas present for the break (we start break two weeks before Christmas, so I wanted to have it in enough time to really enjoy it over the break).
I started MP3 today; it's pretty sweet with the new Wii controls! I love it how Retro Studios integrated so many motion sensitive actions into the game. Also, the whole beginning sequence was epic awesome and tense with Ridley (I killed him with like... 3 seconds to spare
Well, today I'm on the member spotlight for the second time (that I recall) since joining. Heh, I need to update that pretty badly...
Also: lol. I deserve what, exactly?
In MoCing news, my latest project is coming along splendidly. Yessss....
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Well hi Guyz!
My, it's been so long, I don't quite know what to say... BBCC Entry perhaps?
Basically, I just popped on BZPower last Thursday out of curiosity (because I hadn't been on in a good while) and checked the BBC Forum for a contest. Sure enough, #56 was under way and I found the theme intriguing. I checked the deadline, and found out that (what-do-ya-know) it was three days away. I dropped the subject mentally and went on my way. Well, on Friday I g
What is this Project Fusion I speak of, you ask? Well, as a few of you know, at the end of last summer I made a large parts order and planned on using it on a humanoid robot, my inspiration being DV's Transtech Shockwave. My goal in building this MoC has been to expand my building experience into the fusion world (I think I may have overdone it on the lower legs though :/ ), and build a sweet robot fellow at the same time. Thus, the personally dubbed "Project Fusion" (for lack of a better name).
Hey guys! Sorry for the poll getting closed, I just should have read the rules. I have learned my lesson.

So, go ahead and vote!
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
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/
Whoops. I totally did not mean to lock this.
I was looking at the new Atlantis site, and I found this set. It looks like it has some really good MoCing pieces in many different varieties. I won't be able to get it any time soon, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

I've turned around and now several people have gotten promotions around here in like... the weekend! O_o Velox is an OBZPC, and Bfahome is a Blog Assistant! Heh, and they each only have 1 year spinnies... Are there any other promotions I need to be aware of?
At times I get to wishing that I had that sort of recognition (and I just might if I spent more time and energy around here), but the truth is, I have higher priorities. You know, stuff that will actually last me and make a difference in
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:

My family and I are heading out early tomorrow morning for Chicago, where we will be attending a conference over the weekend (just Saturday actually). The conference is on the book "Do Hard Things"; written by Alex and Brett Harris who will also be the main speakers. The book is challenging teens to overcome the low expectations in our culture today and to rise up and make a difference in the world. The whole thing is also Christian driven, just to let you know.

Yay: new sets for MoCing!
I don't own Malum, and Pridak's white pieces should come in handy with my upcoming MoC project. I'm excited, because it's white and dark red, which Malum and Pridak happen to be... Thanks Steve Witt for the sets!
Thanks again to the staffies for hosting the contest, and congrats to all of the other winners.
Oh, and thanks to all who voted for me; I had no idea I would get this far...

Yeah, I know that "normal" isn't all that impressive, but I still beat it. I'll probably go back next summer and try it on Hypermode difficulty (which I hear is ridiculously hard). The final boss battles were ok; I liked the dark Samus fight much better than the Aurora Unit 313 battle. The AU just seemed to simple in concept (it stayed in once spot while it spit Dark Echo Samus' at
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:

~ Only the above listed colors are allowed. If your MoC contains any other colors than these, it shall be insta
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
For Bink's contest?
The philosophical square root of Black Six's right toe is less than the absolute value of Tufi minus ToM in addition to the hierarchical overruling awesomeness that is purple cacti. Add the resulting factors of the prior equation to the cube root of Niki and a brown frog is born in a barn on the peak of mt. Everest. Subtract the sum of 64 and Wii to find the unknownable common factor of the White Seven and solve the problem of moldy cheese to achieve world domination. The
