To anyone who lives in Alaska, and especially Anchorage, my Trials of Terror creations will be on display at the Pack Rat Antique Mall in downtown anchorage for the whole month of April! All my giant rahi, and as many characters as I can fit in the case will be there! So, if you happen to be close by, why not take a look and check out my spiffy creations!
New models, and new revamps are going to be displayed here, so if anyone happens to Take Pictures, they get extra kudos bonus friend point
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!
I am soooo busy getting my display ready for Brickfair. I have until sunday night to get everything done and packed up. I will have to get my entry done, as I will have minimal pieces in anchorage to use. All my mocs need teeny tweaks before I pack them up, and I am going to cram as many mocs as I can into these tubs. All the big ones for sure.... Some assembly required.......
I'm going to work in the violin shop for a week before the fest, so I will have some time to relax beforehand.

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
Its day one of the engine transplant for my 89 suburban. I have been working on disassembling my parts truck to get the engine ready for pulling. I have drained the antifreeze, and the A/C system, and am ready to remove the spark plug wires and distributor cap. It's raining a tiny tad outside, but it's not enough to really be a bother.
My friend is coming up in a bit to pull out the transmission and transfer case. Were then going to Eagle River to sell the transmission (from the parts truck)
ZOMG!
My brother and sis'n law are coming up here from Oregon this Thursday with their son Eli! I am SO HAPPY! I haven't gotten to see my nephew in so long! None of our family up here in AK has gotten to see Eli, so everyone is ecstatic! They were going to come up for thanksgiving, but couldn't make it, so everyone was bummed. But now, its like... BOOYAH!
I can't wait!

I volunteered to insulate an area of my Moms roof that has no insulation, but the house is proving that I cannot do it as easily as I had planned. What I thought was an outside access door in the roof, proved to be nailed down rather firmly. No budging whatsoever. So, consequently, I have to go ito the roof through the coat closet. Now imagine a closet that is basically enough space for you and a friend to cram in there, with a shelf below the ceiling door that you are trying to get into. Now im
There are times when you feel that you can truly approach the world with open arms and take in everything that you see, smell and feel. Other times, you feel that you must keep your arms closed, and be guarded because of foul energies that flow in the the universe. When your mind is open, you can truly see the colors of our world, and all the differences in behaviour of people around you. Sit and absorb your surroundings to acheive a sense of enlightenment within yourself, and you may just see a
"After escaping from those vicious clones, I traveled onward through this strange new universe, and ran across a field of unsorted Pick a Brick. I began my trek through the deep bricks, almost sinking in to their vastness when I tripped. I got up, and lo and behold, I had tripped over my good buddy ...ummm green guy? Neither of use were given names yet....
I was happy to see him, and helped him up from the pile of brick. Together we trekked onward!"
What will our brave heroes encounte
The engine, transmission and transfer case are all out of the truck! YAY! I also removed the side and rear windows, because they are super expensive REAL tinted windows... not the stupid stick on tints. Now I just have to take the tinted windows out of the rear passenger doors, and that is more of a chore, being as you cant just cut them out with a knife like the back ones. The doors actually have to be disassembled to remove the glass. Once those are on my good truck, I will be blingen it pimpi
Well, I was taking a good brainthought on Akitsu and what I should do with her. I will probably chibi the model, but then I have this wonderful torso that is left over. I thought and thought, and then was like Meh, and forgot about it. I started drawing concept designs for my last two giant rahi when a stunning revelation hit me. Turn akitsu's torso so its facing chest to the ground, and you have a perfect catlike torso. I think I'm going to build Kokatas Giant Rahi off Akitsus torso! I am think
My bbc entry is almost completed, What oh what could it ever be?
All I can say, is that it is pure awesome, and it is the first of its kind in the MOCing world of Bionicle...........
Stay tuned............
Hello all! Brickfair was fun, and I had a really good time for the most part. Now that the convention is over, my posse drove back to chicago, but we made a stop at the Ohio toy and plastic brick museum in Bellaire. They are hosting a public build at the end of the week, and I was asked if I could build a special model for the museum. My plane was due to leave today, but the curator of the museum was willing to pay for the cost to change my plane ticket. Soooo, I accepted.

My truck has a flat tire... ARG!
Good thing I made it here ok. Mustv'e picked up a sharp object, or the tire is just too worn. The inner edge got worn down pretty low last year 'cause the axle I used to replace the bad one is bent, making the wheels splay out. The truck the axle came from was a wreck I salvaged for parts, but it had been winched down too tightly when it was towed, hence the splayingness...... all that work....
I'll have to get it fixed when I get back to Seward, so I'll
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
Arg, I feel like I am coming down with something really bad. My throat hurts so bad its hard to eat and drink. I hope that it won't inhibit my ability to work and interact with customers.
Healing from a sprained ankle two weeks ago, and then this..... Yeargh. I hope it goes away, cause pain is a pain......
Well, looks like I cannot attend brickworld this year, because my cousin is getting married, and I'd rather attend her wedding than a brick convention.
But, I may/will be sponsored to go to brickfair and do some demonstrations and seminars, as well as showing my Inhabitants of Kaiva-Nui display. So things are looking brighter every day, and I should be able to be fully back online again within a few months.
I am at work as I type this, so I have to cut it short. Catch y'all on the next e
Here I sit, able to scratch out another blog entry whilst in the rainy mists of Seward.
Work has been a rather.... interesting prospect for me. I have been going through a lot of stress dealing with an angry co-worker (he is just an angry person, and can't help it). That has put an unimagineable amount of crazy tension on my brain lately. That, and another thing that finally got resolved is that my Boss has a rather... ermm unscrupulous... history when it comes to other women, and his wife wa
Hey guys and gals, I made some "Shrinky Dinks" Bionicle keychains. I'm going to make Thok into a magnet cause his loop was too thin and broke off when I flattened it. I accidentally made the tahu nuva one backwards too LOL. Oh well, trial and error for the first batch The detail is pretty good, and its kinda hard to capture it in a photo. If I get enough interest in these, I'll make a bunch and trade em for stuff Let me know what you think!

I just got my hands on some Hearts of Space radio show episodes. Talk about some great music for Trials of Terror! I remember tuning in to this show when I was living up in Fairbanks, and getting to watch the northern lights swirl about in their beautiful lightedness whilst listening to beautiful soundscapes. They've been broadcasting the show since the 80's and they host all kinds of contemporary space music. Its especially nice for when you want to relax, or just listen to something that you'v
