This is looking very nice. The use of the Matoro claws was very clever. It has an overall compact and shapely look, very impressive use of the smaller parts, as usual. Kind of reminds me of your Predator, which I thought was one of your best. I await the final version.

Nokama was the best of the Toa Metru sets I thought. Vakama was close but Nokama had better tools.

The MoC As for the story, I regret to inform you all that I have been denied on my quest to NW Brickcon this year. I had planned on going for a long time, after missing Brickfest I vowed not to miss this one. However life has reared its ugly head again and I am strapped for cash since I am still waiting for my old job to call me back to work. Plus the trasportation and babysitting issues are going to keep me at home. That MoC was going to be one of 3 others I had planned to showcase there. My apologies go out to Roa McToa, who I had told I would be attending after her gracious invite. Please do not smite me Roa! I did not want this to happen but I suppose I am going to have to wait for another year. I may still be able to mail in some of my work, I am hopeful.

Abandon MoCing? With your skill? A shame indeed.

When I sit down to build, I do not move for a minimum of 5 hours. I think my longest haul was about 12 hours, that was for my BBC 40 MoC. Fun stuff.

Very nice images there Kinali, props. The greatest of all FF games, surely it cannot fail.

This should be interesting. A customized Tohu head, I dont think I have ever seen such a thing. I have no objections.

Sweet banner, I think they will be pleased. They are famous now!

I wanna see a Plasma bug, I can envision some bright colors and translucents which = win. As for my own ideas, Ive had the huge green mecha sitting around for months now, I just havent the parts I need to finish it yet. Another humanoid staffie also is gathering dust in the MoC box currently, suffering from weight issues.

Ninjapirates would be a cool mascot. All I had through my school years were a falcon, bear, and yes, a mole. Boring stuff.

Finally I scored the Lesovikk set today. I went to at least 4 other local Wal-Mart stores before I found the set. Here are a few pics I took of the newly opened set. Those Jaller swords are much larger than I thought. Im also anxious to put that lime piraka torso to use. Ill have to be careful with the lime hip sockets as they are very easily broken, I lost 2 from my Nocturn set allready sadly. I have quite a nice supply of lime now, look for a new MoC soon.

Read here All I can say is wow. This is the first huge scientific discovery in several decades. Think about it, all this time we have worried over pollution and gasoline shortages, could the answer have been the oceans all this time?

Always a fun task, with the bugs and all. I suggest getting one of those white masks to shield yourself from the dust. As for the fiberglass, its nasty stuff, cover up with a sweater and make sure you wash up afterward. Kudos to you though, your doing a good thing for your family, which I have recently found to be morally rewarding .

Arg, thats tough, losing a relic of the past. Especially one of that caliber, my regards, RIP awesome Tohu mug.

Im looking to attend this event in person. Ill pack up my creations and bring em with me. So far I have one MoC allready on the card.

See it here Yea, so I figured I should make an entry for this. I think it is an improvement over my Original entry. Proportions are much much better and I like the head design more also. If deemed worthy, I ask for your votes in the upcoming contest. After missing BBC 45, which was the only consecutive contest I have missed clear back to BBC 34, I am anxious to get right back in to the swing of things.

After nearly a month away from home I have finally returned today. I am sad to say that my grandmother died on the 17th of August, a severe case of a bad pancreas, nobody saw it coming and it only took one week. I take some solace in the fact that I was there for her final breaths, holding her hand. Leaving behind my mother and father again was a strain on my heart, but I have to take care of my own child first, just as they would. I did all I could for them in handling all of the heavy lifting and moving of my grandmothers belongings so I can say that I left when all was (almost) well. So here I am now, back with my child, family, LEGO Bricks and video games. I return stronger I suppose, both in heart and mind. I also managed to pick up several new lego sets and Metroid Prime 3 during my leave. Good to be back, and thank you to all that posted positive comments in my last entry.

I got a call from my family on the other side of the state yesterday, seems my grandmother has suffered some sort of medical problem and is in the ICU. I knew this was coming but was not ready for it this soon. Things have really been going badly for me in my personal life lately, I turned down my new job and quit my other one as my mother needs me to help her now. I will be leaving home for, well, Im not even sure yet. My computer access will be very limited over there, so this might be farewell for a long time fellow BZPers. I leave Sunday morning on a plane, leaving most everything behind, even my daughter and wife and it leaves an empty feeling in my heart. Yet, such is life and we must make big choices then live with them. I will try to return and post every now and again, but do not expect any new MoCs from me any time soon, a shame as BBC 45 has just started. Take care everybody.

Dick Tracy wallet huh? Retro rocks! Oh and that sniper rifle is wewt.

Since the downtime of the BZP server, alot has been going on in my world. I may be working 2 jobs soon, so expect to see less of me soon. Just not making enough money to get by these days I suppose. At any rate, more cash = more sets so this is a good thing. I have been offered a job at another local store, it is indian reservation owned though so benefits and vacation/holiday pay are included. Thats alot more than my current job offers. There is no gasoline or propane either which will be a nice escape away from those fumes. MoCing wise, I have not done much. There is the new blue guy over there, and here is a sneak peek at some more new tools I have made. Scythe, Sword and a cool Shield. At any rate, it is good see the BZP forums are back!

FF5 is a challenging game. Neo Shinryu was alot of fun as I recall. Lots of gameplay and perhaps the most versatile FF game ever released. Cant comment on Kingdom Hearts, me and Disney just do not mesh.

So Cortana, what do you plan to do about Gravemind?

Ninja's rock, Im a big katana collector, but hugs? Well, okay just this once.....

Aww, I missed out on the fun. Given all the strange things happening around here lately, I would have not guessed it was a joke.

Yay me! I feel like Link in A Link to the Past.
