LuxorV

V-LV-10C Hi all, I made a new buggy, changing the design of the old one. This time, it's not a military vehicle, so I think this is the right place for it :-$ . The new version includes a lighter chassis, a roll cage, and a big motor: I also included an useful medi-kit; in reality, I didn't know how else to use that space under the front tubes :-D Oh, and for imperialshadows, I changed the wheels to a more reasonable configuration ;-) . More pics here. Comments and criticisms are welcome. LuxorV

Great contest *y* , and fantastic entries so far *wub* . I just added my entry. Here is the gallery with more pics (I didn't know if it could be linked to in the entry thread :-$ ). LuxorV

V-LV-25A One day, Richard decided to go to Fabuland on an exploration. He was a famous artist, and was looking for inspiration and new (well, old) materials for his creations. He found a lot of inspiration (and survided a brief trip to a mysterious and dangerous part of Fabuland called Histeria Lane X-O ), and he created new staues, poems and movies. These works gained him some billion dollard. Nontheless, he felt insatisfied. He sensed he missed something. One night, while he was wandering, sleepless, in his 100+ rooms house, he knew it. He was missing that humble little rusty truck he had seen in a back alley in Fabuland! [Psycological note: it all went beck to his childhood, when he used to play on his Uncle truck at the old family farm :'-) ]. As soon as the sun rised, he went for a new journey to Fabuland. He didn't remember the exact location of that back alley, and he was advised not to enter the Histeria Lane any more (voices of terrible murders and crimes spread from that part of Fabuland *skull* ). In the end, summoning his courage, and accompained by his faithful dog, Ralph, and his best friend Shootie (a shotgun he carried with him since his military days >:-) ), he entered the most feared part of that country, of that very town. There, in a dark passage behind and abbandone, crumbled shelter for the homeless (they said the spirits of the homeless still wandered the shelter, screaming in the moonlit nights and cursing the dead elephant who built it with megablocks), he found it. To tell the truth, he was about to leave that place, convinced to be on a false track, when Ralph barked, pointing to the abandoned chassis of a broken and torn old mechanical thing. It was all that remainded of the once beautiful (with a bit of imagination ;-) ) truck. Faithful to his decision, Richard took the poor thing and traveled it to his house. For almost 3 full months, Richard worked night and day in his large laboratory, using all the art he had learned in his youth (he started off as 'prentice in a garage). After that, he came out of the laboratory, slept for 2 days, and ate all he could put his hands on. Ralph never left his side. And then, one bright morning, the two of them were seen by the astonished folk around the streets, passing by aboard the new, shiny, fantastic HotRed (what a glorious and imaginative name, uh? :-/ ). Richard and Ralph's dreame had come true, the old Fabuland track (well, its chassis) had been resurrected into a new powerful vehicle! LuxorV

Thanks, Bonaparte *sweet* Here is a 'better' (I hope so :-$ ) looking Trinity: LuxorV

Thanks for your sincere comments. Tarfful: I know Trinity looks a bit too fat (I had the same problem with the Sakura decal, from Naruto Anime/Manga), I'll work on it. It's just the naked shoulders make the lower torso seem larger, but I have a solution in mind, and I'll try it asap :-) . Asuka: Yes, the faces were the toughest part *sad* . I based them on actual LEGO faces, and modified them to match the provided pics as close as possible. Still, they are not perfect, of course :-$ . LuxorV

Great subjects! You can find them here *y* LuxorV

Here they are, Kill Will: Tell me what you think of them :-$ . LuxorV

Very neat and professional work, Thrash *y* LuxorV

Thanks :-$ Btw, did anybody notice that the eyes are the same shape of the head, just a bit smaller and rotated? I love this kind of easy design things X-D ! LuxorV

Can't wait to see it *y* ! LuxorV

Oh, I missed this comment. I'm glad you like it, Batbrick. My first idea was to build an insect like thing, with thin legs like a spiedr or something. Later on, I opened my box and saw those treads (which come from the 2006 Hero Tank, btw) and I just had to use them :-$ . Unfortunately, I didn't know about the Black Fantasy contest at the time it was running, I dicovered it later :-/ . But the concept was too intriguing to let it pass without trying a MOC. As for another creation, who knows, I may build something sooner or later ;-) . LuxorV

Oh, don't worry. I just wanted to use that angry face (fortunately, I use it very rarely) ;-) . LuxorV

Just look in the Decal Request Thread, and you'll find the Light X-D ;-) . LuxorV

Another great vig! Very clever use of the spring *wub* , and neat post-apoc look *y* . LuxorV

Look here ;-) LuxorV

Here you go, in blue: and dark-blue: I hope the alien head has the right proportions *alien* LuxorV

I just *wub* the Construction Yard! It's so realistic. Great job, gads *y* LuxorV

I must admit I like EF 2006 Humans battle machines the most :-$ . But your alternates of these two really add a new look to the Robots army *wub* . Great job, as always, Front *y* LuxorV

Thanks for your enthusiastical appreciation :-$ . Thank you for finding the time to see this and comment. Yes, a mech holding a gun in two hands is strange, indeed. That's why I did it ;-) ! LuxorV

Impressive *wub* ! It would seem a Black Fantasy creation, only with neon-green. Thanks for sharing this find, zero1312! LuxorV

I think a shield pattern and design for this piece could be more useful, since it's more common and oftern blank. I'll see what I can do about it, but it will take some time. So, imperialshadows' work on scanning shields is probably the better solution. LuxorV

Really nicely done *y* Great ideas for flesh and torn apart limbs *skull* . LuxorV

Thanks all :-$ . The neon-orange is the 'official' color for this kind of MOCs, as stated by Nannan (thanks, Plural, for the precise reference). I too thought neon-green could look better, but I kept to the original guidelines (and just think that I used almost all my neon-orange pieces in this, while I have lots of neon-green |-/ ). Maybe, next time (if there will be a next time) I'd do something with neon-green, like a Black-greenish Fantasy :-D . LuxorV

Thanks all for your comments; and yes, this is a quite weird song :-D I too feel a bit bad when I listen to this; Spidey is one of my fav heroes, back from the old toons I used to see, well, 15 years ago or so 8-| . He's just one of the bosses of the coffee industry, the one who commissioned Spidey's death *skull* . And, shame on you, I NEVER use megablocks >:-( ! That's just some Trans-Clear Plate 2 x 4. Good nice bricks from the old days :'-) . LuxorV

Very well done *y* LuxorV
