MOCing Guide Note: If you MOC differently, don't yell at me. This is how it works best for me, and everyone has their own style, so it's not wrong to do it differently. ------------ Atmosphere: I seem to work best late at night, about 1 o'clock or so. I don't know why, but it works. Listen to music. Pick something that you like, because that's gonna put you in a good mood. Music without lyrics works best. I recommend the Unreal Tournament music. And Battleheart. ------------ 1. Color Scheme. Make sure that you have a color scheme thought out beforehand. MOCs with lots of colors don't look good on camera(occasionally they do, see Reedemers' "Ninjo and the Spam King") For photography, though, it's best to limit your colors. Also, black is your friend. 2. Proportion. Elbows should be just above the hips. Fingertips should be about halfway down the upper leg. Upper legs should be slightly shorter than the torso. From the knee to the base of the foot should be about the same length as the upper leg. Kanohi work fine as heads, even on huge MOCs, at least in my taste. 3. Weapons. Thin MOCs do not look good with giant guns or blades. Bulky MOCs look ridiculous with tiny weapons. Other that that, almost anything goes. The rest is up to you. As I said before, you don't need to follow these instructions if you don't want to. But they might help. By sharp and fame, -=Cortana=-

Click the link and wait for it to load all the way. It looks weird otherwise. Link I won't post a topic for him until after the BBC contest, though. :Venomess:

This design is small, fits easily into any MoC, and can hold massive weight. There are a variety of ways you can build off of this but I just included the basics. 1, 2, 3, 4, If anybody ever gets around to trying this out, let me know. I think it works wonders for heavy and larger MoCs.
-
Hapori Tohu! Well, thats my take on ol Hap anyway. I always pictured him similar to Mata Nui, a white/silver and slender being. MoC has full articulation, you can read all about it Here. Too early to tell how far this entry will go, but I am hopeful to make the semi-final round of voting this time around. I have a semi-final streak going dating back to BBC 39 so I am hoping to keep that in tact after BBC 44! One more thing of note, this is my first ever MoC that features the Chrome Hau, that I have owned for several years now.

Okay, poll works like this: Post who you are voting for. You can vote even if you are not an MOC Club Member. Oh, and if you vote for yourself, I'll change it so you're voting for someone else at random. Polls will be open until July 4th. Entries: Bizzy -Uchicha- The Pointy-Haired Boss Czar ToaMatt3695 Vezon Toa of Elements Nutoro Toa of Ice Mord Draxon Jadis Bundallings the Bunny Kopakalaka Gledar Entry Pic Jagged C.H.U.D Entry Pic Ugh. Now I sorta know how Tufi must feel. Happy voting, and may the best MOC win. :Venomess:

I don't know why, but for some reason, I have a serious need to MOC Lariska. I'm also gonna make Toa Nidhiki and a Roodaka Revamp (That's gonna be tough, as I don't have Roodaka) and make that scene in Birth of a Dark Hunter, titled "She's trouble" (Lariska to Nidhiki about Roodaka) That last part's for people who don't have the Bionicle Encyclopedia/haven't read Birth of a Dark Hunter. -BK-

Finding of the Mask of Light. Remember, the BoM had it first. Link In other news, go check this MOC out. List of Le Fay's powers: All normal BoM powers(Rahkshi, etc.) Aura of fear(think Nazgul) Summons(sorta like Bahamut from FF:VII) And a variety of crystal-ball like powers. I'm gonna get paid next week, so I'll likely have at least one Mahri fairly soon. Watch for a really pic-heavy review. I'll probably buy Jedi Academy, too, seeing as how I've already beaten the demo 5 or 6 times, and the two demo levels are rather irritating after the third time. :Venomess:
-
I wonder if you thought I got the Mahri this time. Well, as seen in this entry, I was having trouble coming up with an MOCing idea. Fear not!! Le Fay WIP And, yes, it's a female BoM member. I hate building lower legs >_< :Venomess:
-
Must...MOC...Something. Like, seriously, I think I ran out of ideas. I hope that Bionicle Legends#9's title isn't a placeholder. And I think next year's island will be in the sky. I know Greg said it wouldn't, but he also said that 2006's island wasn't Voya Nui. I'd say he's trying to fool us. EDIT: I think I have an MOCing idea, but it involves ignoring Tufi's plea.... :Venomess:

Fooled you... What do you think the theme for the next BBC contest should be? :Venomess:
-
I can't believe I made this. It was originally going to be a squid-type thing, but it turned out horrible. I looked at it and thought "Great. I just wasted my pieces on a squid that doesn't even look like a squid." Then I looked closer and thougt "Hey! This could be a Hakann Revamp!" So I made it, and it turned out great! Click for topic. -BK-

Sorta inspired by Halo... Like the pilot minifig? 'Tis me. :Venomess:
-
Vote here! Well I have made it to the semis, however I doubt I will make the finals. There are some great entries in that poll, Lyger really outdid himself with that Seahorse! Anyway if you deem my entry worthy(vote for number 1!), I could use your votes. Good luck to all in the semifinals! Oh, yea, I made a new thingy too, see over there --------->
-
Vote here! Well it is once again time for the great BBC voting process to begin. All the anticipation has come to its peak, and we are set to begin the elimination process. Thanks to all the contest assistants, and of course Tufi for spoiling us once again with the fun of the polls. If you deem my Mutagen Leech worthy, I could use your votes here. Its looking to be a very close vote, I am pitted against the Grimor Queen, a gigantic and well done entry. No easy road to the semi finals for me this time!

I have been looking for this set for quite awhile now as it has some lime green parts that I liked. It was sold out everywhere it seemed but now I have it! Great Parts! As you can see, there is some good stuff in there. My favorite parts are the trans green bubble shields, lime green pohatu nuva claw and fusion parts here, plus the green vent pieces shown here. I always wanted one of those mini disc shooters too. The battle droid minifig has a trans-lime color too and one can never have enough of those arms. This was my favorite of the 15.00 dollar Exo-Force sets this year and I am glad I finally found it. Of course I will not be building the set itself, those parts are going directly into the MoCing box!

My BBC 43 Entry! I wanted to make something unique and original, something that nobody else would make, this suited me perfectly. The head design is something totally new, at least I have never seen it before. I remember Cajun using a similar "Weave" style and I wanted to put my own spin on it. I am hopeful that this entry will do well enough for the finals but it is still way to early to tell. The Leech is commanded by Kalmah since I thoguht he would be the best Barraki to relate to it, allthough Ehlek crossed my mind too. Making the body round proved very difficult, until I pulled out my stash of tires , which worked out pretty well and gave me the shape I wanted.
-
Cool Wow this has been a busy year for BBC contests! I have been waiting for a theme like this one for awhile now and I have a few ideas I have started to build on. What makes it even more alluring is that the Barraki are directly tied into the theme. This years sets should be a big help in building something aquatic. The contest also states that only 1 MoC can be entered, which should make things that much more interesting come voting time. I doubt that this contest will see as much activity as the last 2 but should still have a solid turnout. Luckily for me this contest is not quite as demanding as the last one. I think I will set my goal for the final voting this time!

Vote for entry 3 here! First of all, thank you oh so much Tufi for your patience in getting the polls up, you are so good to us . Looks like I am in poll Alpha, hopefully the Rahi of Mahri Nui will gain some votes there. This was another unique contest, not to mention challenging, well for me anyway. This was my first build with my only thought being "make it cute", needless to say I had quite a difficult time making something at least satisfactory. Should be alot of fun to see who will be making the semi-finals! Well there are a ton of preliminary polls again for this contest! I spent about 15 minutes just trying to find my poll, and I thought the last BBC contest had a big turnout! I am hopeful that this voting process will not leave out some of the better and more cute creations due to the huge number of polls. Ill try to get my votes cast in all of the polls and reply to the topics, nothing is for sure though. Lastly, I would like to declare that I will NOT be building anymore cute rahi any time soon. Sorry all but my forte is big and bulky .
-
Have a look! This was a very challenging contest for me. Building small, cute rahi is clearly not my forte, still I did try and make something presentable and fitting the theme. I swear I seem to have the worst timing, my Armadillo would have been a perfect fit for this contest. That ended up being my 1200th post special MoC though, only about a month ago! I think this voting process will be unique in that the entries will all share the same trait, cuteness. Color scheme, the build itself, proportions, all of that is going out the window and the only criteria to get votes is being cute. Fresh and new, just what the BBC needed a dose of I think, funny how the contest started as a prank and has become what it is now. I am very anxious to see who will walk away with the win for this contest.

Hey everybody! I finally got around to starting my PBZP again, this time I decided to start with somebody I really, truly admired (as a member) on BZP. So of course, who better to pick than SPIRIT? You can view the topic by clicking the following picture (yes that is the MoC, don't review it here, post in the topic!) <I>Kobra<I>

Well, I've made the decision to become a premier member. Why I didn't apply earlier I cannot say, since a six-month premier membership costs only half of my weekly allowance. My main motivation to become a premier member was the opportunity to have a blog here on BZPower, since I would love to share with the community my views on BIONICLE, my struggles as an MOCer (when I experience what I call 'builder's block', heh), and to top it all off a glimpse into my everyday life, unexiting as it may be. So, lets begin. I'll file this under the 'MOCing' category. It is made clear in my sig that I am currently working on a little something for T-Hybrid, and that is his Toa Luali, translated from thought to matter in the form of BIONICLE pieces. Thing is, this project was promised to be completed a month ago. I am currently experiecing the aforementioned and aptly named 'builder's block,' a state of mind similar to writer's block, or artist's block, in which I couldn't make a half-decent MOC to save my life. The problem is the fashion in which I build. I usually sit at my bedroom desk, sometimes for hours on end, and fiddle around with BIONICLE pieces until I come up with a satisfactory combination which I then apply to my current project. The end results are spectacular, since I often times produce an extremely unique model that uses odd pieces in an ingenious fashion (sorry if it seems that I'm tooting my own horn here). But it takes FOREVER. Why, once this project is completed, I expect the human race to have nearly reached the crack of doom. I'll link you to some pics of what I've got completed so far. I'm really having trouble thinking up a design for the legs, and how to connect them to the rest of the torso. If anyone has any bright ideas, give me a hollar, or in the very least send me a PM. In addition to the above image, which is already featured in my sig, I have a pic of her head, which previously had only been revealed to T-Hybrid. It may be viewed below.

Sorry, no redneck home videos At least, not in the blog entry, but I do have some. As I'm sure you have to know by now, I'm currently working on my Project b/b/c. In the rare case that you don't know about this project already, I'll briefly explain. Each BBC Forum staffer and a select few other members will have a MOC made in tribute to them. Thus far, I've only completed one MOC, Stasmic, in tribute to Schizo Kaita. I have several MOCs in progress, but none that are entirely complete. I figured I'd share two of the MOCs here to keep you (as well as my blog) updated. The first one would be in tribute to Tufi Piyufi and the second one would be in tribute to Cajun. These are WIPs. Or, Works In Progess, just in case you're unfamilar with the acronym. Do me a great big favor and pretend that the Metru shoulder armor pieces are both black. And he could really use another tooth or two. I need to pick up a few of those Viking sets. I'm thinking two of those wolves. I'll have to get over to TRU one of these days. Alright, fine. So you want more. Two headshots just weren't enough to appease. Will this do? I certainly hope it'll hold you over. -Kex

Expect to see this launched in the BBC Forum very soon. -Kex

As you would know if you read my recent Vezon & Fenrakk Review, I managed to track down a few new 2006 sets: Vezon & Fenrakk, Brutaka, and Toa Inika Matoro. I have proudly displayed them for several days now. And I must say -- they were worth that $65 I spent. (or blew?) Just yesterday, though, I had an urge. An urge to MOC. So I stripped down Brutaka of his gold pieces, leaving his unornamented body to rot on my floor. I then gathered up my other KK pieces of the same gold shade. Originally, I wanted to use a traditional color scheme: gold and white. I built a torso, and limbs of both the arm and leg variety to go with it. I really just wasn't completely satisfied with the results. I wanted something better. So I started sifting through my old Brickshelf for any kind of inspiration, and saw Lyrxic. I loved some of the basic design elements I used on there. I decided to make another version of it. Only, this time, I'd lose the light blue and replace it with the new gold. I'm going for an armored style mecha look, which should be fun, seeing as the pieces I have in gold are perfect for creating an armored look. I'm currently working out issues with the torso, and trying ever so hard to come up with a working head design. I'll think of something, eventually. After all, I am in the hands of gold. -Kex
