So... sleepy... must... blog... I has a concept. A tan and green concept. Maybe I'll post more later. For now, in my sleep-fogged state, I'll say it'll be Mecha, it'll be in the medium-ish future, (as in, probably within a year) and it'll be mostly, if not all, System. I need to sharpen my fusion claws before I can take on this project though. I need MOAR PARTS And also... uh... I FORGET NOW GO AWAY (but not before you comment) Oh yeh, I thought I might make a collection of notes on what I think makes a good MOC, and all the misconceptions people have about the... art. I guess. SCATTERED LATE NIGHT THOUGHTS FTW AND IT'S NOT EVEN LATE ONLY TEN TO MIDNIGHT *continues to debate about joining the Avatar TBRPG #2* BtB

I have found that dark Purple, bright yellow, and trans neon orange look awesome together. That will be all. BtB

Kindly direct any comments, questions, or semi-coherent rantings on the fiscal policy of Victorian England to the topic. This is not shameless advertising. It's called "raising awareness".

*obliterates old updates* *throngs rejoice* *stuffs throngs into cave of Caer Bannog* Anyway, my entry's done. I've taken the photos, and she'll be up tomorrow or Friday. And yeah, like, my best humanoid MOC ever. Hooray for antlers!

...Of Narnia, of course. I would never intentionally use that incorrect plural form but for the facts that [a] "Bionicles" is somewhat consonant with "Chronicles" and the resultant name is shorter and better than anything else I'd thought of. All this to say that I've been rather busy and stuff lately, so I'm going to drop the link to The Bionicles of Narnia's topic now and upload and post the rest of my MOC accumulation next week. Let's hear it for BBCC#48 entries that are actual vignettes with actual bases as defined by Ms. Tufi and the general AFOL community (as opposed to entries with figures and no bases, or figures and a prop such as a chair or something that is supposed to be a base, or an anorexic base with a figure half-on, half-off it, or a base with some, but not all of the figures on it)!!

Well, this latest BBCC was shaping up to be a fine contest as always, but then it got canceled, leaving some of us feeling a bit let down. To rectify this, I have started an unofficial version of that contest, approved by a BA and brought to you by moi and 55555 (we agreed to merge our contests.). I'm sure you're all familiar with the basic theme, so we'll get straight to the rules: Rules: .1. One entry per person. Entries can include multiple MOCs, but at least one of the MOCs in your entry must incorporate at least one canister piece, be it a lid or the canister proper. .2. Bionicle canisters and lids only, please. Boxes from sets do not count, nor do the little cardboard bits from the Av-Matoran sets. Basically, anything plastic that came as part of the packaging for a Bionicle set is okay. .3. Canisters and/or lids must somehow be attached to the MOC(s) in your entry. You can't use them as scenery, or just rest a MOC on top of them and call it an entry. .4. Painted parts are NOT ALLOWED. No non-LEGO parts. All other LEGO parts are fair game; however, for the most part, they should be Bionicle pieces and Technic pieces. Let's say, at least 75% of the MOC Bionicle/Technic parts. Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are also prohibited. If either method is used, the MOC will be disqualified. The background may be edited, as long as it does not alter the appearance of the MOC itself. .5. The entries will be sorted into two divisions: Lids and Full Canisters. MOCs using only the lids of canisters (This includes Mahri coverings and Phantoka casings) will be placed in the first division, and MOCs incorporating the main body of a canister (as well as lids, if the entrant so wishes) will go in the second. If there's no entries in the second division, that's okay, but there may be fewer prizes as a result. .6. There is no Rule 6! .7. There must be at least 12 entries. If this goal is not met dire consequences will ensue. (Read: Fewer or no prizes) .8. All entries published after January 3rd, 2008 (The date BBCC 47 was started) are allowed, as long as they follow the rest of these rules. .9. Entry period ends January 31st at 11:59 PM PST, with voting starting soon after. .10. Publicize this contest! Many people who would like to enter may not be aware of it because they don't read this blog or blogs in general. Put this code in your sig to get the word out to fellow MOCers: [url=http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=154&showentry=24875][img=http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Patuara/Bionicle/Miscellaneous/canbanner.png][/url] Voting: Preliminary and semifinal polls for each will be separate and will take place in 55555's blog, with the winners of each going on to the next poll, along with an overall wildcard picked from both divisions. The best in each division plus the wildcard will advance from the semifinals to the final poll, in which the two divisions will meet for the first time. Prizes: Yes, prizes! The first place winner will receive his/her choice of $6, an Av-Matoran set, or a trans-green Lego frog. (Winners outside the US will have to pay shipping on the latter two) The second place winner gets second choice, and third place gets whatever is left.

Well, I finally finished it. MY BOM Member has finally been completed. I'm uploading the pics now, and I'll post the topic here when I create it. It's for Shine because he was bugging me a little while ago about only making Neo-Toa. Hot Topic. -K-

(Topic) vs. Linked. Topic will be soon. -Kaji

For those of you who prefer space, there's this. And for those of you who don't like space, there's frogspace. And for those of you who prefer drama, there's sport. And for those of you who don't like television, there's David Coleman. And of course, there'll be sport. *freaks out because the party (see below) is on Saturday and he still hasn't found the right belt and sunglasses* Arpy

...or MOC. My MOC backloggage is accumulating quickly enough that chances are good I'll break down and post some of them soon, so I thought I'd devote another entry to inane MOC-related chatter. I have Nui-Rama and Mantax revamps nearing completion, along with a couple System MOCs, a Bley Pantsbot ship and an Impulse recolor. Also, my H.A.U. Lithos-Class Battle Cruiser, the largest System MOC I've built yet, is ready to go except for a few cosmetic details which I really ought to get around to, but because of this vague feeling that is telling me I should hold out until the two-year anniversary of its construction initiation in December, I haven't bothered adding the last few plates to the control bank. So, where do you come in? Well, you can help by trading and/or selling me the pieces I need. I'll get a tarde topic up later, because the library's closing in 10 minutes and I need to check out all my sci-fi/geek tomes so TTFN. ...And don't tell me I've got a problem with procrastinating on my WIPs, I've figured that out already. ;D Arpy

I <3 it verrah much-eh. Did I mention the knob actually turns? In Which The Learned Professor Arpy Examines a Bula Berry Through His Microscope I actually like it much better than my original entry. Providential, no? Arpy

Because veterans are awesome. *glomps his father* In other news, the progress of my BBC entry may have reached a stopping point. The flex tubing I had hoped to use to secure certain parts of the MOC proved impossible to force through the axle holes, so I'll have to either get a new handle design or else start over with a completely new entry. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION! But on the plus side, I have completed three of my previously mentioned MOCs, as well as a Frogspace Flyer (5-piece MOCs FTW!). I also decided to say, as they say in America, "The heck with it!" and declared my two-years-in-the-making-due-to-laziness-rather-than-project-size H.A.U. Lithos-Class Battle Cruiser to be done. Now, here is the translated version of this entry. I would've posted it as the actual entry, but certain of the finely crafted nuances were lost in translation. Arpy

Check out my supernifty ScoopCart! It even has frog-style revenge pictures. Also, I just noticed Arvo's Legowinningful Alien MOC. Check it out too, only much more so. Arpy

I realized I hadn't actually blogged my entry yet... Then I realized I haven't got all the parts I need yet. *hopes his order arrives before deadline* Suffice it to say that it is quite original, has a reasonably spiffy color scheme, and even has something which could conceivably be labeled a function... Plus, it helps that I've got a cute girl lined up to model it. Arpy

So, to steal an idea from Bundalings, who stole it from -SZ-, and modify it a little... What do you think is my best Bionicle MOC to date?What do you think is my best System MOC to date?Oh, and while you're here, check out my nifty microscale racer. Arpy

...Optimus Prime.* No, it's not mine, and no, it doesn't transform. It is still freaking awesome. Arpy ** * Linkified because the silly forum doesn't allow dynamic pages in the tags. ** I am unemboldened because my Premier Membership finally expired. Screw that, I look weird unemboldened.

I forgot about Towel Day. I now have only a few hours in which to redeem myself. CURSE YOU AQUASCUM!!! Um. Now that I've got that out of my system, I'll post my final creation, the Twiddly Bird. It is not a serious MOC. I was definitely feeling the constraints of my cousin's collection after building Skirdox and Zhavoh, and this was built purely for the sheer unadulterated heck of it. The Twiddly Bird is a quite unremarkable bird in all respects except one. It flitters about making a high-pitched "twiddly-diddly-dit" noise and absorbing food with its overlarge, sponge-like proboscis. the unusual thing about the Twiddly Bird is that it cannot be killed or harmed in any way whatsoever. Needless to say, this characteristic tends to fuel obsessions in the sorts of beings who love to kill, and the lives of several Dark Hunters and Barraki soldiers have been consumed by their obsession with killing this harmless Rahi. | 1 | 2 | Arpy, who still can't believe he's in the BBC Final...How did that happen, anyway?

Before you read this, I want you to know that I have practically sweated blood to bring you this entry. My siblings logged me off my account not once, but three freaking times. Needless to say, I'm getting tired to having to re-type everything. if I get a BM when I post this, I shall start breaking things. Anywhoo, the local theater had an advance showing of a certain piratey film tonight, and... SPILERS AHEAD leik zomgoshness!!!!!11 ...I didn't see it. Partly because I had to siblingsit, partly because I don't think it'll be as good as Spidey 3 and thus not worth waiting-in-line-1.5-hours-for, and partly because the friends I'm planning to see it with were unavailable tonight. So I'll just bide my time and, while I wait, I shall post the second creation in my ANFSCD-exclusive MOC trio, Skirdox. Despite being a member of Takadox's species, Skirdox is actually an Advance Scout/Sniper in Ehlek's army. He is skilled in the setting of traps, and his accuracy is phenomenal. In addition to his claws, he has a pair of reversible blades on his forearms. His armor is fitted with technology that increases his strength and gives him limited flight capabilities. His sniper rifle and most of his backstory and powers were designed by my cousin. Gallery is here. Arpy

Semifinals? OMGosh! Anyway, as I may or may not have mentioned, when my cousin was over I built a few MOCs using parts from his collection. It was pretty much a win-win situation, as he got to return home and wow his friends with comparatively awesome MOCs, and I got to play around with an unfamiliar parts palette, albeit an extremely limited one (almost entirely '06-07 sets, and not a 1 x 2 liftarm in the lot). Regardless, I think I did pretty well. Rather than make a topic for them, I've decided to post them in a trio of ANFSCD-exclusive entries. First up is General Zhavoh, a master strategist in Kalmah's army. He prefers to fight in single combat, believing mass murder to be dishonorable. His aversion to mass killing is tolerated only because of his extreme effectiveness as a general. His right eye--lost in a duel long ago--has been replaced with a telescopic/night-vision implant. He wields an electric claw and a staff capable of firing sparkly green concussive bolts. Both can be used in close combat to great advantage. Here's the gallery (when public, silly pickleheads) and the deeplinks: 1-2-3-4-5 I should stress that I really like this guy's head. The eyes give it a very cyborgly look that completely disassociates it from the Kadin. #5 is probably the best view. Arpy

Preferably for me. And if not for me, then do it for Humphrey...or the poor children in China...or the Sea Turtles...just vote, okay? shameless self-promotion is fun! whee! Arpy
