I am diligently working on a one color moc assembled with blue pinaxles and red axles. Keeping other connectors to a minimum, and not using any grey or tan connectors. It will have a wonderful patch of red on it, that will wow the audience hopefully......
And it will have an awesome technique that I pioneered, and have never seen done anywhere.....
I can't wait to see her in her full completed form!
Wish me luck!
The build is coming along nicely, and I have finished the head, and started into the shoulders of the moc. I got to go to a radio station and do an interview about the brick museum, and Brickshow 2008 being held this weekend here in Ohio at the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum. There should be a good turnout. They are building a world record castle, and also hosting public building and coloring contests for the kids who attend.
I should be able to get the front legs for the rahi built today, and
I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow!
I have never been there, so it should be a blast!
My family owns a new timeshare on Oahu, and it just opened up! Nice and brand new! I can't wait to go. I really wish I could take Dean with me, poor fella has to go back to work in -50 cold weather.
on a sadder note, My Brother and his GF flew into anchorage because her father passed away in the hospital a couple days ago. I took the day off work today so I could get to town before flying out to see them,
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
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!

Well, my vacation officially ends tomorrow night. I have heard that there is SO MUCH WORK for me when I get home. I'll need it for sure. I guess my motto for the weeks to come will be "Woooorrrk Till Your Body Buuurrnnsss!!!"
Me and my two work partners have to build a minimum of 150 BBQ grills at each of 3 Home Depot stores in town, and the huge one out in the valley. Not to mention all the yard equipment they will need like wheelbarrows, lawnmowers, carts, trailers, chippers, shredders, log
I am off to Seward for a week! YAY!
I plan on securing a job, and finding that cute boy I've been looking for............
Not to mention finally posting that Seward Life entry I've been blabbing about..................
Wheeeee I love going home!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gaze to the sky as snow gently falls onto the rooftops. The sky is grey, and the trees are gleaming with the lightly frozen crisp of a fresh winter new. The songbirds that stay are the swift and the singing, flitting from branch to branch, peeping their chilly song. Taking in a breath of crisp fresh air, you can feel the frigid cold of a winter ensuing.
Long gone is the summer of past, looking forward to winter at last. To stand on a mountaintop in the dark of night, basking in the light of
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
I woke up to Evil Takanuva's hysterical laughter.
"mwuaahahahhhahhaahahahaaaaaaaaaa" *cough*
*ahem*
And even worse, was the terribly hideous beast that was staring down my mask. It reeked of sweet things that made my mouth water. I was paralyzed by its gaze, and was forced to watch it eat sweet treats that it pulled from its pocket. The torture was unbearable! It was eating my favorite sweets!
Green Guy was to my right, passed out and buried under a pile of feet.
My entry is finally finished after three nights of building with practically NO SYSTEM in my possesion. I had to get creative...........
Here is my entry topic, take a look at the Bionic Fridge, fully stocked with Bionifood!
A first in Bionicle. Who'd have thunk to build a fridge!
Woweee! I got blog of the week! How awesome! I certainly wasn't expecting it. I'm going to take some more pictures around Seward to add to my Seward Life entry. I have a lot of interesting pictures and things for all to see.
Also, as a side note...
I am going to make an RC Super Venom Striker out of my manas and 2 striking venom sets. It'll be the ultimate exo-force mobile base!
Stay tuned for some awesome stuffz!
So I threw my first Lego Birthday Party ever.
One of my friends kids (My boss's niece's son) was having a birthday today. His mom had called me up around the beginning of October about this, and I told her yeah, I'll do it. "Lemme grab some figures, and I'll get back to ya". When I was at Brickcon, I got to talk to certified Lego professional Dan Parker, and I asked him about how his group does parties. He talked about having a theme for parties i.e. pirates Bionicle, Star Wars, whatever....
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!
I'm getting ready to go on my Brickfair Adventure!
I am about 90% packed, and am flying out tomorrow night! I even picked up some grippy foam for helping in the setup of large models on smooth tables. Things tend to slip, and the smoothness of the tables limits poseability. My mocs are built for outdoor use, and tend not to grip onto tables too well. The foam should help any models that need a little extra grip.
I'm arriving in Chicago wednesday morning at a bright and early 5 am, and we
Hey everyone.
For those who saw me close my main moc topic, do not fear. I have not given up on Trials of Terror.
Right now, my life is a total mess, and I simply do not have the time to keep up with the project. I will re-post at a later date with the new mocs and story updates.
I hope I can get things straightened out, I am so depressed right now.
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 finished my first successful batch of Squaw candy this year, and it turned out WAY better than the batch I tried last year. Once you've tried salmon smoked like this, you would never go back to your normal store bought smoked salmon!
This batch was made from frozen fish from last year, so it is not as perfect as fresh caught fish, but is still dang tasty!
The next batch will be even better! I am gettin gmy process dialed in, and I hope to be as good as my grandpa was at this.
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
After being taken hostage I had passed out, and had the strangest dream.
Me and Green Guy were on top of a mountain, and he was cuddling this strange doll that looked vaguely familiar.
"What is that Green Guy, and why for pete's sake did you bring it here??"
Green Guy looked at me and said rather bluntly..... "Because I WUB him!"
Then I woke up, to something so incredibly horrid, that you will have to wait until the next entry to see it!
Stay Tuned!!!!
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've really been busting bum on my my display for brickfest. Vakatu's rahi is complete, and Very creepy looking! They might even want it for the space category if they need a monster.
Paruvaks rahi is 75% completed. All thats left to build are his feet and hip connection. The color scheme is rockin! I really think that this rahi will be my favorite of the bunch.
I may post pics of paruvaks rahi before brickfest, but might also wait it out. I worked on Mukaia a bunch more, and it looks a l
