So this is what I have been doing since my last MoC. It is extremely heavy and large. There will be a contrast color, just not sure if its gonna be trans blue yet. And yes there will be 2 more legs, upper jaw and wings added. So far it uses a total of 26 sockets/ball joints. Alot of the current build is just some ideas I have been messing with. Im open for any feedback, I really enjoy building big stuff.

It seems that there is indeed ice on Mars, which most likely means that the planet could one day be inhabited by humans. There will not be any solid confirmation for a few more weeks as the Mars lander has to take a sample and cook it in the "oven" to scan the gasses released. However, it appears to be ice, and seems to have evaporated after the sun had come into contact with it. This is a great discovery and gives hope for the future of our race. The Earth will not be habit
So I recently got my tax return, not stimulus in the mail. 900 US dollars to be exact. Seems like alot of money but with bills and cost of living and gasoline prices, it really is not a great deal of cash.
Regardless, I plan on making a toy or video game run with at least some of the cash. Suggestions? Things I have considered:
All of the new Indiana Jones sets
A Playstation 3
A Xbox 360
A Laptop Computer
Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS
An Axe(To compliment my sword collection a
I have been considering this for awhile now, most of the people I have asked tell me no, building LEGO Bricks is not an art, not even if they are of your own custom design.
Well guess what, I disagree. I think it is just as much of an art as painting on canvas or sculpting from marble. Too many just assume that because lego is themed towards children, it cannot be viewed as a real kind of art. What an unfair stereotype, just because they are considered toys. If painting, even with waterco

Wow, a 7.8 magnitude, that is the largest quake I can recall worldwide in decades. My condolences to anybody affected by this as it is a major disaster in a densely populated area.
I tend to keep up to date on worldwide geology and what I have been seeing lately worries me. There are lots of earthquakes in uncommon areas in recent months. The Reno, Nevada area was rattled by a series of progressively stronger tremblors, a rare and unusual event as normally there is a big quake
To all you dads out there, I wish a happy fathers day. I get to enjoy this day with my kid so I figured I would share the love. I got some scratch tickets and a nice card from my lady, nice to know she still cares! I also got a book which I have not read yet, I think it is for me and the little one to share as it is entitled "Kisses for Daddy". Gosh all this mushy stuff is just not my style .

Yep, finally got my Huna spinner. Has it been 3 years allready? Im getting old I guess. I will have to do something to promote this memorable event. *Hints at new MoC*
Seems like all I do anymore is go to work and go to bed. I haven't the time to accomplish much else lately. I suppose my schedule is to blame, I work Thursday-Saturday nights graveyard, 10 hours 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Then I work 10 hours on Tuesday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. So yea working 3 nights and 1 day really throws me for a loop when it comes to getting enough sleep. It has made the time fly by though, seems like it was just the 1st of May!
So for anyone that it may concern, I apologize
Well I have decided to go for the lego ambassador thing, which you can read more on Here. So lets start with my lego origins.
Lego Origins
The year was about 1986, I was only 5 years old. At Toys R Us, I noticed a cool looking building set, I believe it was This set. Anyway I got it home and had some trouble with it, being so young. However it was fun and eventually I built it the correct way. Ever since that day I was hooked, I got all the huge sets like the Futuron Monorail and Airpor
Orange, it tastes good, it is easy on the eyes, it is just one of those colors that appeal to me. That said, orange pulled me in today...
And since I got some extra orange I went ahead and made this, click for topic.
Not sure if this is just regional or not, but participating Fred Meyer stores have all lego except Indiana Jones and Star Wars sets at buy one get one of equal or lesser value. This means Bionicle, Racers, Castle and the other themes Fred Meyer carries. Ill be getting in on it, I need some more of those Racers sets, new parts in purple and lime green! I used some of the new parts on This terrible MoC. Just messing around, they had a sort of vest looking effect.
I see someone else has beat
Man, it has been a long week at work. Seems like my last day off was so much more than a week ago. Since I am up so early today, what should I do? I have a few things in mind, maybe you people can help me decide before I end up sitting on the computer all day and accomplish nothing!
~Finish WiP for K's Corner X-Pod contest
~Finish playing Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
~Continue to organize my abyss of lego parts
~Call my family back home
~Go to Toys R Us and get in on that Indy set sale goi
Well I picked up the game and a spare steering wii wheel on Monday, but I have been too busy to try it out until earlier tonight. It has alot of potential I think, so far I have only done a few time trials and 2 wifi races, I managed to finish 3rd and 2nd so that was cool. I love the fact that you can race many other people, 11 for my first 2 wifi races. The wheel is actually quite accurate and reliable, given the karts I use. I still have a ton of stuff to unlock so Ill be playing this game
As you may know, Kohaku is hosting a Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament. After an intense battle I was defeated by Kinali and his Wario like attacks. Came down to the wire but he deserved to win. Looks like he will be taking on Bohrok Kaita 1 next, good luck to you Kinali. There are great prizes at stake here.
On an unrelated yet somehow related note, my BBC 49 poll is up. I think entry 7 has me beat, it has a sweet design and shape, well done on your entry Dr. Keerakh. If you deem i
Well, I found out I will be going back to full time, however I also found out that my shift is from 10 pm to 8 am. While there is a raise in pay, anyone who has worked that shift will tell you it gets very tiring. The boss told me he cannot find anyone else who is responsable and reliable, so I am the lucky guy! I used to work this shift, I thought I had proven myself but the store was sold and a new owner changed up the schedules.
I suppose it is time to become a nocturnal being once agai
Well I am still throwing around ideas for this contest. A few that have come to mind:
~Using nearly all of my black/white/silver/grey parts and molding them into a giant sculpture
~Build 4 Toa/Rahi, one of each color
~Build a 4 headed serpent using Fenrakk heads and a new jaw design
~Build a life sized Lance, about 5 feet long.
So yea, I need some help here.
Well it took 2 years, but Kex informed me that I received a proto boost at last! First time ever!
And for the record, I did not get a proto boost when I became premier, because I was given the premier membership rather than pay for it. It is so nice to peek at that little bar now and see it just above half way full!
Bumble Bee Rumble!
Just when I thought his stuff could not get any better, wow. Its got some rough edges but as a whole it is quite stunning and deserved a spotlight here. MoCists take note, THAT is how you build Bumblebee, too bad it does not transform into a car, though that would be borderline impossible while keeping a nice looking humanoid build.
Nice to see something big out there, well done large bionicle MoCs are a dying breed.
And the weapon:
Comments? Critiques? Ive been wanting to use the Gadunka head as torso armor for a long time now, I think this is gonna be good...
Updates:
Did I overdo the tool?
I was awful busy last week and never got around to selecting a pick of the week. However this week is a different story, therefore our winner is....
Addiction by Ichigo Kurosaki!
Congrats Ichigo, your idea for the contest was very clever and you executed it pretty well. I must ask though, where is his right arm? You will be added to the content block with the previous winners.
So I accquired this, metal thing. Im gonna build the car most likely, this is new territory for me so it might be interesting to see what else I can make if I get more of these, things....
Metal and screws, please forgive me lego!
