Steel Dragon

Hello everyone! I'm back. Remember me? I'm afraid I've been gone for quite a long time, but with the holidays I've picked up a good number of new Lego sets and they have reawakened my love of Lego. It would seem, then, that I have survived my second Dark Ages! (hooray) I can't really remember anything about my time here previously. If we were friends and I don't recall, I'm sorry. If we were enemies, uh... Anyway, I do feel a bit at sea coming back after so long. I would love to reenter this great community, and look forward to being a contributing member again!

Thank you all so much for the warm welcomes! I'll hopefully be posting one of my older MOCs before the year's end, but I've never been good at meeting deadlines...

It's a shame the plane and obelisk are kind of lame, because those minifigures are gorgeous! I will definitely be picking up at least one of each at some point. Imagine the trouble Jake Raines and Johnny Thunder will get into together!

I'd pay #60 - #65m specifically interested in: The brown bandana The islanders The baseplate The rowboats The bluecoats those are the most valuable parts of the lot in my opinion.

Loving these bikes and the ones on Flickr. I actually prefer your design to the banana bike, just because I like the smooth look with the more detailed figure. Now, a smooth banana bike...

Greeblies, greeblies everywhere. And those handlebars are fantastic! My only constructive criticism is the lack of contrast between dark and light... but I suppose you were going for an all-dark look.

Those mushrooms! I love everything about this, and now I need to get some pigs...

Has it really been that long? Goodness.

I'm sure I'll relearn the ropes quickly. Anything not immediately obvious I should know about?

I'm ba-ack... After about two months hiatus I think. My entry has been done for a while, but I haven't gotten 'round to taking pictures yet. I'm just glad this project isn't over yet!

Guys, where did Nik go? I feel like I haven't been directly referenced, just wanted to make sure everyone knew that I'm where C.C. and I came out of the sewers, which Computerbug defined in his post as the R.A.T. vehicleworks. Just wanted to make sure everyone was clear, and try and break into the storyline a bit.

Sign me up! This'll be my first time, but I hope to learn quickly.

I'm aware, thanks. Nikolas has no way of knowing this, Reptile soundedvery much interested in eating him and C.C. He may have jumped to conclusions, but you would too if you thought you were about to be eaten. I'll edit my Reptile's dialogue in my post accordingly, though.

Nikolas unholstered his weapon and levelled it to fire. He nodded his head towards C.C. "You migt wanna stand back." He aimed at Reptile and pulled the trigger, broadcasting a string of disruptive code towards him that would temporarily overload a N.E.R.V. chip. The mutant was nfazed. Duh, Nik thought, of course he's chipless. Time for some fast thinking He glanced around as Reptile's head nodded to the side in confusion. Why had the man just held that gun up without firing? Nikolas' eyes fell to the large pipe he had hid from the Enforcers behind. It ran completely vertical, stretching from the floor to the ceiling. "Hey bud," he looked at CC. quickly, still aware of the mutant that seemed ready to pounce, "kick that pipe for me, will ya?" "What?" C.C. asked "How will that..." "Just do it" The rusted pipe caved in easily, letting out a sigh of fresh air that cleared the chamber a bit. Flickering light shafted down in a pattern of squares. Reptile turned his head and hissed. "Alright," Nikolas holstered his weapon and tore the hole open until it was wide enough to fit through, "follow me, or get eaen by our lizard friend." He squirmed into the pipe and start to climb the ridges along the inside like a ladder. C.C. followed bewilderedly. Reptile realized what was happening, they were afraid! No, they needed to see who he was, to help him! "Come back!" He lunged into the pipe, his four arms pushing against the inside, only to be temporarily blinded by the light. By the time his huge eyes had adjusted, he was able only to see the grate at the top of the pipe slide back into place. --- Nikolas breathed a sigh of relief as he slumped against the wall. The alley was no less dirty than the sewers, but at least there was fresh air. He turned to C.C. "So, are you the R.A.T. that's supposed to help me out? Edited.

1: Telescope 2: Castaway Legs 3: Dark Red Octopus

Agreed. For me, the hardest set I've ever attempted was the Technic Darth Vader. At the time I had done exactly zero Technic builds, so you can see where I would have difficulty. Hardest set I've ever completed? Probably... I remember the Insectoid falgship thing was pretty tough. I'll get bback to this once I've looked through all my old boxes.

The catacombs were dank and depressing, with a thin layer of grime covering everything. Nikolas hurried down a drainage slope and behind a large pipe, the shouts of Enforcers fading into the distance Hecursed as his cybernetic leg sank into a pothole hidden from view by green haze. "Unbelievable..." Where was his rendezvous? He had been told to meet up for the stolen N.E.R.V. mod here, now... but no one had shown yet. He started to worry if it was a Ching trap, but the long un-NERVer resting at his hip calmed those worries. If anyone showed up, he would be... "Huh?" He looked up at the sound of air moving, just in time to see C.C. dropping down towards him. Crap.

See him? There he is! Represent, BrikWARS Spaceman! At a significantly higher resolution HERE.

Leroy is sorely missed in this picture. What is PSJSAFL? $chan and /b/ are basically the same thing. Rickroll is missing... disappointing. Haven't seen Nostalgia Critic.

Welcome the the forums!

If the internet was a physical place, this would be a picture of that place. Ie, all the meme, fads and jokes of the internet arranged in a scene. It's obviously a hit-or-miss gag.

I'm definitely up to the NPC task, but I think we should burn that bridge when we come to it ( )... we don't need the NPCs yet, so why put time into them when we could start with our own characters. Because I'm sure that's what everyone wants to do; START! Not, as Sandy said, to pressure you C.C.

I've had the idea kicking around in my head for a while now to do a Revolutionary War/Steampunk series of MOCs. LEGO has some great torsos for period costumes, and the necessary heads and hairpieces could be made easily. I, too, haven't seen these done yet though.

I'm not too worried that this is a sign of godmoddin,g as the comic is assumed to take place before the game's story starts... it's like a flashback, and it doesn't affect any of the other players (us). I agree that the comic doesn't introduce your character as well as it could... perhaps another one of the same scene, but from Warren's perspective, would help calm the masses?
