I worked outside in the yard for 6.5 hours today...
My legs feel completely drained of energy, but I feel very good about all I got done!
Mowing, weed-eating (edge trimming), and hauling cut up wood (we had a huge tree fall in our yard)
Now to work on my robot a little bit...
Please send me mind waves of inspiration! I'm having a bit of trouble with the torso. >_<
~GBG~
I'm just about done with the leg design, and I love it. Very sleekish and smooth!
The color scheme is black with lime accents. <3
Sorry, no WIP pic; I want to keep this one to myself until it's all complete.
Also, this will be the first time I will have to go purchase parts separately for a specific MoC
(at least I plan on it)
Also also, moving text back to normal position; likey?

... was just placed this evening.
Yay! I am moving up in the world!
80 pieces, 24 lots, $5.60 ( order A )
4 pieces, 1 lot, #1.20 ( order B )
Order A is coming from Washington, and order B is coming from the Netherlands. I'm not sure if the latter will make it here in time, but I'm willing to risk it (it's only for color anyway, I can build it with black) The order is actually mostly black pieces with a few lime ones and several white ones for replacing gray pieces on Certavus (ju
Got a quick question for ya.
I'm planning on ordering some parts from (the you-know-which site), and the only shops from which a certain piece can be attained are located in the Netherlands. Considering that the deadline for the contest is a little over two weeks away, do you think that the pieces would have enough time to arrive on time? I know that it differs with each seller, but what has been your experience in the past? (for those of you who have ordered from this site)
Thanks in adva
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
I reached 1000 posts today replying in my Certavus topic. .:Toa Velox:., Major Marvelous, and ChocolateFrogs, I responded to your comments in detail if you are interested in taking a look at what I said!

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/
I'm wondering exactly how much of my Certavus entry must be custom. I've seen several other members (the good ones) make heavily customized body parts. I didn't do that because I felt that I wanted Certavus to look set like and yet still be very different from the other Glatorian. Ordinarily I would want a customized body/parts, but for this contest I'm thinking that it would be better to hold off.
Thoughts?

I have made an interesting observation. I was just posting in the Forums but after doing so my post count stayed right at 964, the number it was before. Why is this? Could it be because of the recent wipe of info around here? BZPower isn't picking up a surplus of new posts, so it's not raising my number? Not that I really care about post count, I am just curious.
Figured it out.
~GBG~
Yesssss!!! I have FINALLY gotten Metus!
Do you want to guess what shipping is for a little Agori on LEGO.com + tax? All told, the total would have been about $13, the price of the Glatorian themselves. Rest assured, I did not go by that route! Rather, my mom found him this morning in Target. And thus, she got him for me! (I still have to pay for him of course. )
So anyway, I now have the helmet for Certavus. I've tried it on, and I gotta say: I like it. I'm hoping to have him up some
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
(A Glatorian I has)
So, guess the color anyone? ...
Green you say? WRONG! Mwahaha! I gotcha thar!
...
It's white. And blue. And spiky. It's Strakk! Why Strakk you ask? One word: Certavus. Yep, I am planning on entering, and I needed some ice themed pieces, so... you get the picture. I wanted to get Metus as well (super cool snowflake thingy! ) but Target didn't have him (for once, couldn't you have them all?! :angry: ). I'm still gonna be lookin' for his little Agori companio
I believe that one of the lessons that I learned with the recent happening over in BBC is that I have been siphoning too much of my time into BZPower. I put so much time and emotional energy into the contest, but then in a matter of minutes all of my hopes went kaput. It showed me that it all really just doesn't matter that much ultimately. As such, I have decided that I am going to take a break from BZPower this week. You can still leave comments or send me messages, but don't expect replies un
Smeag fixed the polls. Apparently, my poll got eaten by the server or something.
Anyhow, here it is: clicky to vote for the G.B.G.!
Thank you muchly in advance.

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?
~GBG~
I'm considering on purchasing individual parts from online stores (as opposed to sets). I'm wanting to expand my inventory a bit in terms of functional pieces and some flair pieces. Specifically, I would love to know what the best pieces for fusion building are. I know of pieces like the brick/socket and the brick/ball pieces, etc. Got any other suggestions? Of course I'll get some extra connector 1x3 +O+ and some of those 1x2 ++ pieces. I'm always needing more of those. XD I've also got my eyes
I went to Target this afternoon to pick up Gresh, but believe it or not they were sold out of him. :angry: Oh, and they had like three of every other canister set.
Arg.
BBCC #52 voting anyone? I'm numbah 10.
~GBG~
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! *runs around in frantic circles*
...
The Polls to BBCC #52 are up! No, that's not the bad news. The bad news is: I'M NOT IN THE POLLS! Anywhere. That's right, and I can't find Roa's entry either! It seems that Smeag left out ten or so people. How can I tell? There are only 10 polls, and there are 111 entries. With no more than 10 entries per poll... you do the math. we're short a poll people. :angry:
I really hope this gets fixed...
~GBG~
Ok guys, here it is!!! B)
Clicketh to the topic: link portal
Whew! I'm telling you, getting these things entered always takes alot longer than you think...
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy it just as much as I do!
~GBG~
I am guessing that you were hoping to see a completed gun for display in this blog entry when you clicked the link, correct?
Well, I'm sorry to say that though I have completed the MoC I have not been able to take pictures yet. I finished it just this afternoon. However, I gotta say that I've really impressed even myself this time around, and I can't wait to enter!
The gun is a futuristic blaster-type gun. The barrel is at least a foot long, and then add on the handle (probably half a foot
Hey all! It has been quite a while since I've posted an entry! Today I present a new MoC that I have recently finally gotten pictures taken of and posted. Here he is, Skotraxx:
Here is a link to the topic: Click!
By the way, can some one remind me how to embed a link in an image?
In my personal life, I am doing very well, and school is going nicely (I'm loving chemistry!). I don't want to take the time to add more, so I think that I will stop there.

Congratulations Arpy on winning the BZPower MoCist duels contest!
Here is your trophy!:
I must say, really liked your entry. The use of two masks was good, I like the colors, and the build of the guy was great. You conformed to the criteria well, and I think that you deserved the win here. (unlike the winner of the last contest... *cough cough*)
Anyway, in terms of real life (yes, such a thing does exist, for you internet addicts out there) I will be rather busy this semester, so
