Scnicker

U-uh. This MOC was built at a time that I was still a rookie. I had too much difficulty building the outside that I didn't even bother with the interior, but as I've mentioned before, the possible revamped version will have interiors if I build it. Ideas are popping all over my head! (Btw, I feel like someone is interviewing me which is... nice :) )

We got to choose to prize. I was planning to get the 6258:Smuggler's Shanty. http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=6258-1

I suggest using Windows Movie Maker 2. You can see the work I've done with it here: www.geocities.com/scnicker/hayvanolmasinstudios.html . Apart from that, if you have money,try buying Pinnacle Studio or Adobe Premier. I really don't know anything on Imovies. I hope this helps.

U-uh. Is there a link that I can listen to from?

Thanks *sweet* We're trying our best. Actually the second group's name is Athena and means Athena (the Greek goddess) rather than Athens :) . Ah, but the last year was a disaster.

Hmmm... I've always found Eurovision Contest a bit exaggerated. I hate the Turkish songs that were chosen over the past 2 years, but I love the fact that it'll be hosted in our neighbour country. Being half-Greek myself, I might go and watch it there *sweet* . I wish luck to all the contestants.

Thanks Mister Phes!! Yes, it was hosted by 1000steine.de. I really don't know if there was a particular reason for canceling it. I've e-mailed the responsible people, but got no replies. They just chose to ignore me and after a while I gave up. I think they didn't want to pay up.

Well, we never GOT the results! I know it would have won a prize (since prizes were given according to theme+MOC size), but as I've said, the winners were never announced. I still hold a grudge against 1000steine.de because I've worked so hard on this MOC. Well hope never dies, maybe after one year, they may announce the winners eh? (and I was going to pick up an old pirate set if I had won.)

Most of the abandonware pages should have it. I must dig it up :). Anyways, on to your question: I really don't know what inspired me to build it. I remember sitting around, trying to come up with something to build for the contest (something Pirate related of course). All of a sudden, I thought: "Monkeey... yes, a monkey is a piratey animal" and then : "Hmm and island would be cool and refreshing" and then finally :"I found it, an island shaped like a monkey!". I've thought of building something bigger, but lacked the pieces at the time. Actually if I find the time these day, I may try a revamped version of the island with and interior and so. Now that'd be awesome :). (Btw, pirate theme was the thing that got be building again and I'm grateful for it. Some of you may be shocked by this, but Pirates have been my favourite theme. I love it more than I ever loved castle.)

OooOOO... Cool! :) Well now you can ask all the questions you want :). The truth is, I didn't play Monkey Island 2 (I think that screenshot is from that game right?) and didn't even know such a monkey head model existed, but the similarity is incredible. But I won't hide the fact that I love Monkey Island Series (eventhough I missed a few :) ).

Hello there everyone, This MOC was built a year ago, for the ISCC contest. Well, the results were never announced and I don't know if this was worthy for a prize. Anyways, I think this is my "the most original" work since I've started building. It's basically a hide out for my pirate character to hide away his treasure. The Island used to be a chunk of rock, but it was carved into a monkey head. Enought talk, the link to the gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1205668 I hope you enjoy it.

Great carriage in my opinion. Also it comes with 4 minifigs, quite a good number for the set's size. However, the kneeling action was first seen in this set: http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=6076-1. Anyways, I own this set and love it.

I got the album today and it's awesome. Eventhough the tunes may get a bit repetitive from time to time, it's extremely enjoyable. Just lay down on your bed and listen to the whole album. It's a great morale booster :). I loved "Charlie","Snow","Dani California" and "Stadium Arcadium". It's hard to get 28 songs in your head all at once :).

I understand. Thanks again. Eventhough I love tents, I'll step out of it and buy myself a condo here :P.

Hello there everyone! I'm Scnicker, a long time member of Classic-Castle. I'm from Istanbul, Turkey (counted as Europe ;) ). Some of you guys may know me and even if you don't you'll know me :P. Anyways, it's nice to see European folks gather under one roof. I think I'll enjoy being here. See you guys around. (Btw, Josh, can you tell me what happened to CC? I have no idea what's going on :) ) -Yankı
