Click the picture, or here, for the gallery. Some sort of brutish warlord. He smashes stuff.A relatively quick MOC this time- an hour or so- though I'm still satisfied with the complexity and overall (total custom) build.One thing that was difficult to make, which I like the look of, is the Inika torso armor attached to a custom Technic torso. The larger armor and weapon pieces can sometimes be hard to attach to pieces or sections other than what they were designed to attach to. Not very posable, but I was aiming for an all-out tank, heavily armored, very solid. The armor doesn't flow well, but it's supposed to contrast, I guess.Feedback is appreciated. Also, feel free to check out Nemesis: Pirai, my previous MOC post.

Way back when Takanuva was corrupted by a shadow leach, I wanted to make my own rendition of his newly half-and-half form. I spent some time fiddling around with different concepts until I hit on my current go-to Toa design for the chest and arms. After that things fell into place pretty easily, for the most part. I've bulked up the torso/stomach a little in the last few months, as well as the back of the neck, but that's about it. So, without further ado, Takanuva - Toa of Twilight!

I wanted to try to build something like the Sticky Detonator from Halo 4, but it looks like I made a toy-like dart launcher, but I guess that's good enough for me, so long as I got the monitor on the weapon. http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=271925]Gallery[/url]

Hello there. I've been making ceramic stuff for quite some time now. But just last month (miracle? ) I improved a lot. I've been making different styles (swords, shields, helmets -the most-, armor pieces and miscellaneous.). Good enough, I have made some MOCs almost exclusively out of ceramics. (The only bad thing is that now I'm running out of ceramic packs.) I'm going to post pictures of my "top creations". I'm gonna update this every week or so (with emphasis on "or so") with my new stuff. If you want to make sure I haven't missed anything, you can check the folder itself. OLD STUFF (about a year ago):Description: Bionicle Masks, Bodies and... whatever the heck the other thing was supposed to be (lol)Links: Nidhiki head, Movie Matoran back-head piece, Toa Mata body, another Nidhiki head pose, Turaga Dume mask, Kanohi Kraahkan, Kanohi Ignika, Kanohi Vahi. (Slightly) NEW STUFF: Description: More BIONICLE masks and some Spider-Man stuff. Links: Kanohi Suletu, Venom (Spider-Man 3) head, Basil The Bat Lord helmet, Shield, (fail) Predator mask, NOTE: The images are quite large, and they take it's time to load. It's cause my camera resolution is HUGE. More to come.

This is one of the MOC's I made towards the end of my summer break. I wanted to build a Rahkshi MOC but since I didn't have any heads in colors other than brown, and because I thought the Ultimate Dume mask vaguely resembled a Rahkshi head, I got around to building this.Aaaaand here it is, people!!Since the image seems broken, why not try the link?http://flic.kr/p/dfAcKkAnd here is a link to my photostream:http://www.flickr.co...rz_photostream/I hope this works!Alrighty then! I might post the other stuff on the stream as well, so be sure to check out these forums more often.

Trying to build some guns with interesting reloading mechanisms from Black Ops 2, but I haven't got the structure yet, so I settled with this in the meantime. It's pretty small, but I like how ammo is loaded from the top, and is supposed to be gravity fed or something. http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=271599]Gallery[/url]

Well, if you're a purist, I suggest leaving now. If you're not, and you think painting parts is OK, then feel free to stick around. I present to you, the last version of my Self-MOC, Auron! (Hopefully, I have no real plans to update him). (Link to MOCpages here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/348723#comments) I'd also like you all to comment (yes, I already know that his really slim, so am I), if you have the time, because, if there's something I'm doing wrong with my building, I'd like to know, so I can become a better builder. (P.S. Yes, I know he's OP as Karzahni, he's a MacGuffin, and highly valuable to my story because of it!) (P.S.S. No bad words this time Windrider! I promise!)

For the longest time I've been wanting to recreate Teridax, but the main stickler from his original set was his legs- I've long since lost the joints allowing them to rotate around easily.Without those, I finally gave up on it and decided to just rebuild him from scratch earlier this year.A little creativity later, and here we are;Standard posehttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ToaMiracles/VarsaiNui/Makuta/oldteridax1.jpgThe backhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ToaMiracles/VarsaiNui/Makuta/oldteridax2.jpgUpclose and shoulder build displayedhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ToaMiracles/VarsaiNui/Makuta/oldteridax3.jpgUpclose on lower bodyhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ToaMiracles/VarsaiNui/Makuta/oldteridax4.jpgThanks for your time.

There are a couple of important guidelines to building and showing off a good MOC here on BZP (or anywhere online; MOCs in person are harder). Bolded sentences are the main points. Read the paragraphs for more detail. It all boils down to what looks good and what does not. MOCing is a subjective art, just like any other art, but there are a few things that I think can be agreed are widely agreed upon as important. Know your Parts. Take a look at this MOC (ToM Dracone's "Chloros"). Notice how there's a recurring motif of ridges on the parts? Take a look at the Metru leg used on the feet, and compare those notches to the ones found on the Metru armor on the leg, to the piece used on the thighs, to the bits used as barrels for the gun, to the Metru armor on the shoulder, even to the base of the antennae. A similar pattern makes the pieces used look like they belong together, even if they were designed years apart. Using a technique like this means that you have to KNOW your parts well, and that comes from practice. Lots of practice. "Custom" matter less than aesthetics. MOCing is about looking good, and it matter less how do it than if you actually do it. Take a look at this MOC. That's built on an Inika body, and features little custom. It still looks supremely awesome. It still looks MUCH better than either of these two MOCs, both with custom bodies (both mine lol). With that said, custom builds do tend to come about as a result of knowing your pieces well, and knowing how parts fit together. Choose your Colors Wisely. I would say that in terms of BIONICLE, there are 2 "base" or "primary" colors: Black and White. Grey is sort of the in-between that can be used even under those. What do I mean? You can layer pretty much any other color on top of those and it will look half-decent, regardless of build quality. Think about it. I'm not going to point at any MOC in particular; pick pretty much anything from the galleries I link below and you'll see what I mean. Standard combinations include Gold/Black, Gold/White, Blue/Black, Blue/White, Green/Black, Red/White, etc. Note that Black and White can be used as "main" colors, but when those two are combined in one creation, you will run into other problems on the photography side of things. Also note that your base does not have to be black OR white; as long as you stay consistent and it looks good, your base can be, for example, red, accented with black. Choose colors that look well together. The problems is, "look well" is a subjective term. It's all on you to make a color combination work. Usually shades of colors go well with each other, such as Red/Orange, Mata Blue/Sand Blue, Mata Green/Lime Green, Brown/Tan. Limit the amount of colors you use. I mentioned above that grey is almost more fundamental than Black or White, and that's because, if used well, you can layer a MOC so the "skeleton" is grey, above that is black/white, and above that is your chosen color. At the same time, if you are planning on accenting your chosen color with something else, count 'em, there are then 4 colors on the MOC. That leads to a lot of competition and your MOC will look way too busy. When accenting, there is too much of a good thing. Let's say you've got your base color and a couple of secondary colors. In this example, our base is grey and our secondary colors would be black and white. The accents (i.e. the eyes) are the only bits of red on the MOC. If there were bits of red sprinkled throughout -- a habit I used to fall into when I was younger -- then the MOC becomes too busy, too messy, for it to look coherent. In this example, the base is black, the secondaries are keetorange and grey. The accents are green, but the green only shows up in places where it makes sense. Long story short, keep your MOC to 4 colors or less, and when you have 4 colors, use the fourth sparingly. Now, you can put together a great MOC, but if I can't see it properly, well, then it's not that great after all. Your photography is extremely important. It's the only way people are going to see the creation you want to show off. Pick almost any MOC from the galleries below, or from the gallery of any really strong MOCist, and you'll see that the pictures are quite minimalist. There aren't any household stuffs in the background; usually the background is one solid color. And that color tends to be the color NOT used as the base color (i.e. if the base is white, then the background is black, like this, and if the base is black, then the background is white, like this.). Hiding flaws is good. Go back and look at that second poorly done custom body MOC (the white one way up near the top, in the section about custom builds). I hid that horrible body with a cloak. Better, but now there's no detail. Take a look at this gallery. Notice how there are no shots of what's going on inside the top portion? That's because if you removed those plates of armor, it would look pretty ugly. So if you MOC looks bad from a certain angle, don't show that! When you are the photographer, and the pictures are the only way we're going to see the MOC, only show what you want to. Overall, you need three things: 1. Use your pieces wisely. Know them, and know them well. Know how they fit together, know what works and what doesn't. Know which ones look similar and which ones don't. Know them well enough, and custom builds (if that's what you want) will come naturally. 2. Use your colors wisely. Limit yourself to three main colors, accentuate with a forth SPARINGLY. If your third color is the accent, even better! (You should still use it sparingly though ) 3. Take good pictures. You can have the best MOC in the world, but if no one can see it properly, it won't matter. In addition, if the back of the creation doesn't look that good, you don't have to take a picture of it. ----- MOC Creds go to Brickeens (Brickshelf: "Brickeens" and "BrickeensBZP") and ToM Dracone (Brickshelf: "MuffinToa")

The original intent was to build some gear-wheeled tank I made half a decade ago before I had access to a camera. Once I was building it did I realize how bad the design was, so I shifted to a 4-wheeled vehicle instead. Turns out it's like a smaller version of the Buggy MOC I made a few years ago. I'm quite happy with the result.I had to improvise on the wheels as I couldn't use the ones from the original Buggy MOC as they would be too big. I tried using the smaller ones from minifigs sets, but I couldn't find an axle rod long enough, so I made do with the cylinders.I also had a turret version, which kind of similar to the Turret Buggy MOC I made from this summer. The only problem is that the turret can't easily move left and right, but it can move up and down, which the regular sized Turret Buggy can't do.Gallery

The current version of my Self-MOC. I uploaded the video yesterday. On that one site that you can't say the name of here and can't link and also has cats with poptart bodies and have rainbows coming out of them.I'm pleased with him, I like the skinny body, the 'back' that replaced the 'waist' and his lower body. And weapons. And Rapture.http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/343640This time I made sure all language doesn't exist windrider, I swear! =O

Over the years I've constructed a handful of different concepts for the Matoran, be they meant to represent Metru Nui Matoran or Artahkan, to just my own idle interests at that period.Some of them came out better than others as a result, but here they are.Ta-MetruFronthttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0045.jpgSidehttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0047.jpgBackhttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0046.jpgGa-MetruFronthttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0048.jpgSidehttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0050.jpgBackhttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0049.jpgKo-MetruFronthttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0051.jpgSidehttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0053.jpgBackhttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0052.jpgArtahkanFronthttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0063.jpgSidehttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0064.jpgBackhttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0065.jpgOnu-MatoranFronthttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0054.jpgSidehttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0056.jpgBackhttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0055.jpg Le-MatoranFronthttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0057.jpgSidehttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0059.jpgBackhttp://www.brickshel...an/000_0058.jpg

Okay, with the Lesovikk's Hiatus Contest going on right now, I was doing a bit of research, and found out the Rock Lion actually had a model built, but it never got shipped in time to make it into the Rahi Guide book, and thus, we have no idea how it's supposed to look. Then, that got me thinking, and piece by piece I built what I think the Rock Lion could look like.This is what BS01 says about it: StandingIt was mostly the mane that inspired me to do this guy, and I really wanted to try it out. The head was brickbuilt, since I don't have a piece that would look nice, especially in Tan. The red pins in the mane were actually intentional (as you might notice I put black everywhere else), as they are supposed to represent the combusting mane. Sitting SideHere's a nice side view, I used as many tan pins as I could, just to fill in color gaps. I'm also pretty proud of those paws, since they took me a while to figure out, and came out nicely, but unfortunately, it didn't leave room for the "extremely sharp" claws.Sitting FrontUnfortunately, I had to use some MegaBloks pieces, but it doesn't show much. The Piraka limbs for the forelegs were actually mostly unintentional, because I wanted to make it stand up before I figured out how I wanted to make the forelegs, but when I looked at it, I realized it fits very well, and so I added some tan slopes to beef it up and try to keep the color scheme consistant, one of the hardest parts of a MOC with rare colors like tan.Sneak PreviewHere's a shot of the Lion chasing a Matoran, also a sneak peak to my next project that I ordered a ton of pieces for.Hope you like it!

It seems that every few weeks a topic pops up that asks the question worst piece. Inevitably someone will appear and declare that no piece is utterly useless and can be applied as long as the MOCer is willing to think outside the box. True, some parts are rather specialized but with the proper amount of creativity and innovation they can be used in strange and unique ways. challengeSo I pose my challenge: Instead of lamenting the limitations of a piece, find way in which said piece can be used in an awesome manner. From my time here on BZPower I've seen links to some of the coolest MOCs using the most "useless parts."This topic can serve as an inspiration for stunk builders surcharging for a challenge or test to deturmin how well you know your brick. All parts are fair game, Galador, Ben 10, and Dinosaurs included. Members here can attempt to stump other players be declaring a part they believe to be the most difficult to use. Name a part here and certainly a use can be found.I'll start by posting a part I find hard to build with:The person below me will now state a way this part can be used outside it's intended purpose and preferably post a photo demonstrating it. Then, that person will post a part they deem difficult to use and the next person will attempt to find a way to implement that part.Good luck. Play well. Hopefully this can provide a format to both contemplate new ways to use pieces we overlook and challenge our building spirits.

http://images.mocpag...24m_DISPLAY.jpg MOCpages "She is one of the few Human that are left in Taran-Nui, having no idea who her family and trying to find out, she save other from her and other enemy. With her sword and assassin blase she will protect no mater what." A female Human with tan skin and a silver Kakama. I am really happy of how she turned out, i think she is my favorite female MOC i've made. The small amount of tan i have came in handy, as you can see i try using the tan as skin and it came out somewhat good. Hope you like it

My Self-MOC. I said I was going to post it over the summer, but then I got lazy and didn't post him on BZP. Then I built V9. And Just recently V10.So yes, he's old, and his model looks much different (and shorter) than he used to be. This is also what the current BZPRPG Auron looks like.http://images.mocpag...07m_DISPLAY.jpgI find it ironic that the title on MOCpages says: "Final Auron", even though I have made two newer version! XDAnd yes, I know he's overpowered, aren't all Self-MOCs OP?Edit: While MOCpages is not a forbidden site, the page you linked to did contain at least one filtered word and was marked as PG. I've taken out the link to the page and have replaced it with a deeplink to an image of the MOC itself. Please do keep it this way, but feel free to add more deeplinks (i.e., links to images themselves) or embedded images if you wish.-Wind-

Meet Tenebrae. He is a male Odinan who wears a Great Mask of Healing, and wields a Greatsword, and a combination shield/iron sphere shooter. An original inhabitant of Odina, he fought back after the Dark Hunters took control, but was forced to flee once the battle was lost. He made his way to the Southern Continent, and became a smith and warrior. When they fled underground, he continued his ways.Front/BackMeet Nemus. Originally, he served under the warlord Nektann, until Nemus betrayed him. For his actions, Nektann had his spine ripped off, and was banished from Zakaz. He hopped a ship bound for the Southern Continent, and descended below ground when it came time.1/2Sabre is a species of Rahi known as a Longfang. Nemus acquired him during his travels and is his pet and an information extraction tool.PictureA weapon invented by Tenebrae, the Zamor Rifle uses the same principal as a standard launcher, propelling ammunition by extreme force. However, Gravity Kanoka are included in the design, to fire a Zamor Sphere faster and farther.Picture -

Mordegrist is the last MOC I have to post from BrickFair. At Bricks Cascade I was given a collectible minifig that turned out to be the sleepyhead with his teddy bear. I was somehow inspired to create a MOC around him, and ended up with this. The idea is that he lives in the dream world and protects the boy from nightmares while he's asleep, as his MOC cased indicated: Not many people seemed to read it though, as there were lots of comments on, 'that monster eating the boy.' Oh well.I really like how he came out. I think the different shades of grey and silver work well and the splashes of red and blue (the minifig) add some nice contrast. The armor is placed on the him to work in this one particular pose, and in some areas his range of movement is pretty restricted as a result. But that was part of the design and done to make him look as un-hollow as I could. And of course, you can see all the images in my BrickFair 2012 gallery.
