:$ Thanks to gylman, the great ApophisV, and Kikuichimonji. You folks embarress me. I'll try to post more frequently. bfs

Hi, -SuvieD, Thanks, I'm almost embarrassed to post Bionicle based creations on this site. So many members build great system mocs and bionicle is hard to build w/ and tends to look hollow. I'm aware that Bionicle is still not very popular, especially w/ AFOL. So I won't post all my things, just some as I think that members might tolerate them. -kimt, Thanks, this is a bit of a departure from my more conservative style, I tried something different at the urging of others, the not least of which is Jinzo |-D bfs

This got DQ'd 'cause I made some indirect remarks on a site, other than BZP about "discrepences" in the voting process, Hey, its NOT a democracy over there. :'( bfs

51 ;)

-Evil Willy, I embellished my version of Jango Fett quite a bit(as in EXTREME), its what I would like him to look like ;) -Lost Viking, again, Thanks ! bfs

JFX, my but I love Chrome and Violet ! bfs

-Xwingyoda, you have a sharp eye to spot those firemen helmets ! Thanks. -Lost Viking, thanks for the kudos. bfs

My Christmas creation : bfs

Hi Jinzo , This is a great little moc. When I first saw it, I knew what it was w/o having to read it. That song was new when I was in elementary school and I'll always remember it. *wub* bfs

Huh, what do you mean by this? Darkkazmo Quote: " I took into consideration everybody's skill and guessing what parts collection they've got..." I don't think thay means I get extra credit for having alot of parts or being older than the others do you ?.....perhaps it means quite the opposite (reminds me of a government policy here in the States called "Affirmative Action") bfs

Just the "honor" of third place, I wasn't aware this was a handicapping contest, I preferr straight up competition. I hope that's made clear in the future as it will be a determining factor if I bother to enter.

Oh my gosh ! I got 3rd....Hooray Hoorah....I can't believe it, I got 3rd place...Coolaah Coolaw.....Oh , wow I got 3rd place....... bfs

Hi Happy, Nice to see you here. Don't feed this site too many Bionicle mocs too fast. We have to let the fine members here develope a taste for them gradually ;) bfs

Hi, -mister_phes, Thank you so much. On this moc, the galidor parts are the two pairs of cannon on either side of the cockpit & the four little gray arms on the outside of each of the two large arms :) -brickmaster, Thank you, your words are too kind. I'll have a couple of more Mecha ready for the next contest, that's for sure ! bfs

With regard to common names, yes after friends and family, my middle name is Roe, after the river Roe in Ireland where my fathers ancestors came to america from. Many first names in the western world are based on great leaders and religious persona ei, Catholic saints. I have named my sons with combination to honor family on my side as well as my wife's. I could have named my sons after toys, but I chose to honor family. bfs *wacko*

Good morning fellow members *satis* -xwingyoda, Thanks ! Come to think of it , I find it difficult to recall mini figs being used to pilot Technic/Bionicle mechas too. But why not ? -jipay, Thanks boss, I hope that's a compliment, especially since its comming from the top :) -ApophisV,Your comments are well recieved especially since its coming from such a great moc/mecha builder, thank you ! bfs

This is another entry for Darkkazmo's mecha contest. Planetary Invasion Mecha : Inline-Blue THANKS for looking, comments appreciated ! bfs Added this link. ;-)

My third entry for Mecha Contest -A-. Planetary Invasion Mechas are designed for maximum size, speed, protection, and firepower.(*note, flames are present to represent weapons fire, they can be removed @ DarkKazmo's request) Planetary Invasion Mecha: Inline Blue Theme: Space BRICKSHELF GALLERY bfs

Ralph, truly outstanding work. Being an Air Force veteran I really appreciate the excellent work done on the aircraft ! Your vehicles are no less astounding though, I particularly admire the L A City medic unit ( I'm a retired engineer from nearby Orange County FD ). Thanks for sharing these with us. bfs

Well, I've seen a forum where members are non-posting members for two years ( this is an extreme example ) then one day they began providing a healthy number of posts as well as providing mocs. Patience is needed in this regard, especially with a fairly new and growing site. bfs

Excellent Moc. Detail throughout. I'm glad its a quad walker or it would kill us all for sure in Darkazzmo's bi-walker contest :^^D . I love the main cockpit as well as the gunner atop. Nice uniform colored pattern on the legs. It should be in the movie *wub* . bfs

Hi, -Sarg_Kulo, Sorry you don't like the color, I tried to find all the orange that I could for it. -brickmaster, I'm most flattered , sir. Thank You ! -mister_phes, Thank you very much! The "blue" is really silver and gray. I usually take my photos out doors just before the sun comes up. That way I get indirect natural light. The problem is that the early light is slightly bluish and add to the fact that the background material is dark blue, the gray and silver parts took on a bluish tint. I don't think it hurts the moc, just a fact of life *satis* . bfs

Quite true. I have seen a few ( very few ) interesting parts in some of the Duplo/Quattro sets. If I get the opportunity to put my hands on some of these sets ( buying some for my 3 year old would be a good excuse ), I'll see if I can some how make it all work together to further prove Lego's wisdom :) bfs

This is my second entry into Darkazzmo's Mecha Contest -A-. It's a jousting mecha known as SUNBURST Thanks for visiting :-D bfs
