I forgot to mention how the BW balances. You have to have the trolls attached to the wheel and the handles, they basically hold the driver's box up. It's quite nifty. ~Peace

Why yes, mighty fine indeed. More pictures must be being added, as the folder isn't public, but so far I can see this is simply awesome! ~Peace

A nice little scene you've got here. You've certainly grasped the idea of SNOT, I look forward to seeing more of this in your future creations. ~Peace

It's ironic because it's a micropult, a mini catapult, yet the pictures are incredibly large. ~Peace

Ah, I had a rough sleep last night, I was so worried that the murderer would strike again. It's great to see everyone still alive, although it's crushing to know someone among us could be that very murderer. But for now, I think it's time for brunch. Say Barnabus, you wouldn't have caught anything this morning would you? I do very much like your fish.

Do you have to get all of the same battle pack? It sounds like you get more droids than clones, so here's an idea. Why not get 2 Clone packs and one Droid one. That way you get 8 Clones and 7 Droids. ~Peace

Thank goodness for the automatic re-sizer! That's quite a nifty contraption there, very cool. I was wondering how on Earth it would fire that massive boulder, but I see you've got something a lot more practical. Nice! ~Peace

Continued... Adym stared at the would-be assassin and started yelling questions at him. All right, I'm gonna ask you some questions, and I'd really appreciate it if you would answer them truthfully. I know you're honour bound and what not, but technically there is physically nothing to stop you from talking, well, not yet anyway... I may even make it impossible for you to swallow, then instead of taking the coward's way out and popping one of these pills like you were planning on, you'd die a painful and slow death of starvation. Of course, you'd be chained up here, see, so you wouldn't be able to die 'with honour any other way. And we wouldn't feed you. Hah. And we'd smash your hands so you couldn't hope of escaping. Well, I'd smash your hands, because I have the mechanical arm. Now, where was I? Oh yes... Who are you?! Who sent you?! How'd you get in? How'd you know I was down here?! Why were you here? Well, I guess that one's obvious, eh? Heh. Now, let's see, where; here, we know that, who; you, still don't know, what; trying to assassinate me, when; clearly now, or just a short moment ago, why; still don't know that, and how; well, apparently with this knife. Adym picked up the discarded blade and crumbled it in his hand. Now, Grim, can you add more ropes to this guy, make it nice and tight, and maybe some chains too, yes. And to be sure, I'll wrap this metal pole around him, oh wait, that won't work, I only have one mechanical arm. Hmph. Well, just get more chains then. Thanks! Adym turned to face the assassin again. Still don't feel like talking? The assassin stared coldly at Adym, with an unwavering, dull eyes. Adym waited for an answer, already knowing he wouldn't get one. With a sigh and a knowing roll of his eyes, Adym wrapped a cloth around his metal fist and looked the assassin in the eyes, and answered the unasked question. You know, to stop the blood getting on my fist. I just polished it this morning. And with that, Adym sent a mighty wallop into the assassin's gut, with a slightly disgusting sound of tearing flesh and a crack which Adym knew would be a rib. Adym discarded the know crimson stained rag and examined his still shining fist, while the assassin coughed and wheezed, wincing in pain and rocking side to side on the ground Ah, still good and sparkling. Although I didn't mean to crack your rib. I was saving that for later. Anywho, I guess you're not really in the mood for talking right now. Adym grabbed a cloth and pressed it against the gash in the assassin's belly, then wrapped some more rags around the assassin to hold the cloth in place. He then fastened a plank of wood to the assassin's back, forcing him to lie straight causing him to moan in pain. That'll do for now, I'll wait 'till the pin goes from sharp and excruciating to painful throbbing. Then we'll do that again. If you don't answer, we'll continue this, until you die of internal bleeding. No wait, you'd like to die to end all this wouldn't you? Well then, we'll continue this until you're in a critical state, where I will slice you open and sew up your organs my self. Sound good? For the first time, Adym saw a hint of fear in the assassin's eyes.

I actually kinda, maybe, like these sets. Nah, they're quite cool. Thanks for this awesome detailed review, very cool indeed. Thanks Brickmaster! I spy a sledgehammer, axe and sword that would look great on a few knights... ~Peace

With the help of dragonator's Paypal account and online bank transfers, I put in two more Bricklink orders! Yay! So, more soldiers for my growing army, and 300 flowers with 100 'grass' pieces for them to go on. I wanted to order more plant parts and some food but I'm on a tight budget. ~Peace

Adym thoroughly enjoyed his steaming hot breakfast, and immediately went back to work, sketching in a few things and writing a few notes. Then he packed up his papers, stuck them in his satchel, and called out to Grim, who was standing guard outside the door. Grim, I'm about ready to see the, er, dungeons now, you know? I've got to test out some things... Grim nodded and began to lead Adym down the stairs.

Oh, that's good to hear. Sorry again. Me? I tell you, this headache I've had all morning did not come from pretending. And if I were, I would have had to pretend to be passed out for some time, and I am not the very patient type. Not to mention I would have gone home had I been awake. I don't think anyone would willingly sleep in the gutter. I was hoping we could actually get to know each other a bit better Barnabus, as I am a big fan of your fish, and you seem like a nice person. I agree with you about Penimus, for a few reasons... Penimus (Pencoin) hasn't explained what he did after the events at the wine bar, just that he isn't much of a sleeper and was awake most the night. This also doesn't explain why he showed up late. And he voted against Pirahna... very suspicious indeed, so I vote: Pencoin.

I got Battle Wheel and Dwarves Mine yesterday and they are both great! The Battle wheel can balance fine, so it should be okay to take of that annoying handle. But the wheels build... oh man... so... repetitive! Still, it looks neat, I must say the wheels are smaller than I imagined, which is good as it doesn't take up as much shelf space. Dwarves Mine is just fantastic, I love it so much! I really want to get a second one, but I bought the only one left in the store... oh well, at least I got one! ~Peace

Heh, sorry about that, and thanks. I hope I wasn't too uncooperative. As I said before, no more wine for me tonight! Haud magis vinum!

You speak wise words, Barnabus. If the senator was indeed a traitor, the damage he could cause would be terrifying. I see no reason a faithful senator would openly slag the Emperor. Anywho, I should go home now, I have a splitting headache and I can't remember half of what happened yesterday afternoon. This morning I found myself lying in the gutter with passerbys dropping coins at my feet. I guess I was kicked out of the winery at closing... or dragged out... Anyway, I better head home and get changed into clean clothes, and no wine for me tonight... Haud magis vinum!

Picked up Dwarves Mine ( ) and Battle Wheel today! I hope to pick up another Dwarves Mine on Wednesday, but I also got something awesomely wicked cool today, an early birthday present from dragonator... 5 BrickArms weapons! A shotgun, revolver, rocket launcher, sniper and a G36 machine gun They're so awesome, I can't wait to put in an order myself! ~Peace

L7 Dragons Keep; Adym's Room/Planning Area Adym was pondering over his latest sketches, wondering if he should go with the automated hinge design, or a wind funnel design. He had been up for about an hour now, though he only recently actually got out of bed to compare his thoughts with his notes. Now, the wind funnel would provide a lot more lift, although I still have to thing of a way to steer and maintain pitch... maybe I could have the hinges to keep balance, and maybe I could modify them to steer as well, and then I could make a funnel to lift it... Just then his stomach grumbled, reminding him it was time for that morning meal and if he didn't have it he wouldn't be able to work to his full potential. That or he had gas. Just then there was a knock on the door. Adym quickly gathered up his notes and hurriedly placed them in his satchel, which he hung from the chair. Then he heard Grim call out: I have brought your breakfast, Mr. Wrenchmonger, I hope you are hungry... Adym smiled and whipped the key out from his shirt. He had made a crude necklace from some string to hold the keys he had been given by Lord Dragonator. He unlocked the door and opened it, to see Grim standing holding a steaming plate of food. Please, call me Adym! said Adym, as he took the plate Grim offered to him. So, Grim is it? Is that your birth name, or was it a nickname, or something? I mean, it's not exactly a common name, you know? It's not like you bump into someone who goes, oh hi, I'm Grim. Not that someone would introduce themselves after you bump into them, they'd probably curse at you under their breath. Anyway, I'll let you speak now. Adym smiled at Grim, who looked at Adym with a sort of frowny smile upon his face, like he was trying to hide his embarrassment at being blatantly and unknowingly made fun of with a cheery smile. It wasn't working. Are you okay? You like kind of ill. Long walk up the stairs, huh? Yeah, I was thinking that when I came up. Well, ran up. I tell you, I was knackered after that. Anyway, I had this idea of these stairs that go around some wheels, and loop around underneath. So the wheels are fixed into place, and as they spin they pull the stairs up for you, so you just have to stand there. Anyway, uh, I think I said I'd let you talk. So you go ahead. You had something to say, didn't you? I can't remember... Adym's stomach rumbled annoyedly. Oh yes, my breakfast! Thanks Grim! Adym sat down at his desk and started eating his meal. Grim looked at Adym in a confused disbelief, wondering whether to chat with Adym or to leave this nut while he had the chance.

That looks great, Benk! It's so bulky and macho, it could snap any other mech in half like a toothpick! Well, maybe not wiht those tiny little hands. I guess that explains the gun. About the gun, I love the semi-attached technique of the clip, the use of that wheel cover thingy, the rod all lined up in there and that little orange blast of colour at the end. Great job! ~Peace

I got Gungan Patrol. I also got, er, Swamp Attack or something? It was great, for a cheap set you got a jedi (Qui Gon) and 2 Battle Droids with those hover shooty things. I'm not that good with names. A STAP I think. 2 of 'em. And a little swamp scene with a neat little clam too. Had lots of fun with that set. Oh, and it also came with (and we can't forget this) a Jar-Jar Binks. Yaaay! ~Peace

<hic> That Mark Anthony, I tell ya what, <hic> I don't like that guy, all puttin' down <hic> the good Emperor... If ya' ashk me, he sheems <hic> to be the mosht troublesome... <hic> [brian falls off his chair and collapses on the ground, knocking his wine off the table] Hey, who put my wine on the floor? <hic> Was it you, Mark? Roughly translated: I convict Mark Antony, but I'm too drunk to express my thoughts into coherent speech.

Mmm... this is great <hic> fish! Sh'really good! [Gobbles down a plate of fish] Mm, and <hic> thish wine! <hic> [Gulps down a glass of wine] Ahh, isn't this fun? Sittin', and <hic> talkin'... and drinkin'... <hic>

It's a neat MOC, great going with the picture, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest of Gravestone. There aren't any skeletons or creepy things, just a ruined building. That looks great though. ~Peace

That is awesome. The trebuchet is definately my favourite siege weapon. TLC has made weight bricks before (thinking that real tall City crane) and I reckon a Crownie trebuchet in '09 would be sweet! ~Peace

As neat as that is, it's quite horrifying that one would carve up Lego like that... Although I do have a few spare Megabloks guys I could try that on... Thanks Calvin for that interesting link! ~Peace

These're all very neat! Of course I love the Jaguar, it's just so darn cool! The Sea beast reminds me of a Horseshoe crab, neat use of those Mars Mission parts. And the bird is very neat, as has already been said, the beak is done very nicely, and I like the talons too, it actually looks quite cute. ~Peace
