Primus

Pretty sure this was deleted originally because its in the wrong forum. Unsure on what the allegations are but would prob be more prudent to post it to the General Discussion Forum.

There's a second tube (3mm rigid) behind the gold flex axles that the rays connect to via an exo force clip. You can see it if you zoom in on the photo a bit

Sweet, I almost won! Congrats to Paleo on the W and to Pohaturon on 3rd looking forward to the next contest.

Good luck everyone!

I went with number 2, very well executed build and very menacing vibe.

Gallery A wandering shepherd in need of a new flock... Comments and criticism appreciated. P

Master of Darkness. Destroyer of Ta-Koro. Butcher of Toa. Scourge of Mata Nui... While fighting Teridax, Tahu became corrupted by antidermis and drained of his honor. He killed Teridax and absorbed his power, becoming fully transformed into a force of pure evil. He then when on a spree of destruction, killing the other Toa and levelling Ta-Koro. Tahu acquired the Kanohi Vahi, the Mask of Time, so that he could relive the killings of his closest friends and revel in their misery...... By embracing his dark desires, Tahu has become the Lord of the Shadows... Built for the BS01 Legends and Infamy Contest. Also the mask is a Lego Prototype part I got back in 2010 in case you were wondering

#4 is my favorite.

Glad you like it! I really love trying to build around those torsos, they can be very challenging but also very rewarding, and can lead to some pretty weird proportions (which I like lol). As for editing my photos, usually I only crop them and adjust the color balance slightly, but I did a bit more for this one. In my original pictures the blue sheet that I shot against was all wrinkly, and instead of reshooting the photos I decided I would just edit the background (this was also my first shoot against this blue sheet). In a trial version of Photoshop I selected the background, feathered my selection (leading to the glowing edge), averaged the values, and then added a gradient. I'm not too sure how I feel about it, usually I don't mess with the background. What do you think about it? Thanks! I really love using those yellow half-bushings for extra splashes of color Also shout out to BlackSix for the front page mention! That was pretty cool to logon to

Posted another MOC! I've been on a roll this year: (^^picture links to topic^^)

A bot designed to work in large furnaces & forges, Vern spends most of his days toiling away making sure machinery is kept running. The heat exchangers in his arms and legs coupled with a multitude of cooling tubes allows him to work in extremely hot environments for hours on end. Brickshelf Gallery Really liked how this guy turned out, finally found a use for that av-matoran torso & train wheels I had laying around. C&C appreciated, hope you guys like him!

Just found out about this topic. For the sake of completeness I wanted to point out that I have one of the 6 Trans-clear/Marbled red Hau Nuva's. I recieved mine from Black 6 at Brickfair 2010. I'd have to dig them up but I should have a blog post and Flickr post from that time frame to prove its authenticity.

I feel you there, but none of my other gunmetal parts seemed to fit the MOC thematically. I personally like the emphasis it puts on the head, but I get that's not everyone's cup of tea. Now there's a name I recognize! Glad you like it man, hope you've been well

I've been on a bit of a tear building stuff recently (in comparison to my previous hiatus, anyway). This time, a I've managed to make a hard-suit for a TechnicFig who had no legs. Found him while sorting all of my parts and decided he needed a suit to make up for it. He's a "final boss" foil to an older MOC of mine, the Gevangen Hardsuit. And yes, there's a TechFig in there! Brickshelf Gallery Hope you guys like him, C&C is appreciated! P

Built some competition for an old MOC of mine. Topic to come later today.

Hope you can sort it out man, glad to hear your metabolism isn't all funky anymore!

I've built a second MOC this year, which is literally more than I've built in the last 6 years... (picture links to topic)

I made a revamp of our favorite Onu-Metru policeman: (all of the thumbnails link to larger photos (pretty large photos)) For this MOC, I wanted the Vahki to have a more insectoid/robotic appearance and also make it look more physically imposing. I also made sure that it could do spider mode: There's also a brickshelf gallery with even more pics! Hope you guys like it. P

Is this a lead-up you telling me to build something not black? lol Apparently so haha. Dunno how much use it will get.

I would say that he has decent articulation in his arms, however his head doesn't move at all and the legs are also pretty stiff. I would say I sacrificed mobility for looks, however I think for a model that will be doing a lot of sitting on a shelf that is fine. Any opinion on that? Yea he does look like the Rhino! I would say there was some subconscious influence from that as I do borrow on those themes. He's pretty well balanced due to the wide feet and the supports in the legs so he doesn't topple over. The weight of his arms also helps with his sturdiness, before I put them on I had a problem with the torso separating! Thanks for the feedback! Any ideas on what could help that visual? I was thinking more texture on the underside but don't really know what pieces could help with that.... Thanks for the replies all! P

As a guy who's trying to pull himself out of a "dark age," it is kinda disheartening that BZP proper is flickering out. Overall Lego community is larger but a lot more decentralized, from what I can tell... P

- - -Brickshelf Gallery (When Moderated) So, this is HERAKLES. He's a fighting robot who's built to take a lickin' and keep on kickin'! First real build in approx 3yrs... Hope to keep the momentum up and build a bit more. C&C always appreciated, hope you guys & gals like him! P

Finally: HERAKLES (click the picture for the BZP topic) Holy moly I built something! C&C always appreciated P

Hope all is going well for you now man.

(click for full-size) Just gonna leave this here... P
