The Red Death

No, this has nothing to do with Edgar Allan Poe... http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MuffinToa/Oddments/thumb/reddeath01.jpg_thumb.jpg (Click for full size) It is, of course, Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, disguised as the Red Death for the Opéra's masked ball. Strictly from the book – in the novel...

I would say I'm a purist ... The only parts I've modified have been cutting up some of the thin Technic tubing (not the ribbed kind) for use in Bionicle MOCs for added flexibility or connections in odd places, and some for a Castle vignette I'm working on, but nothing beyond that. ... Since Technic ...

Fire Knights' Fortress

I've actually had this MOC sitting around for ages – about as long as I've been away, which is undoubtably part of why I haven't been here. The point is that I finally got around to taking pictures of it last week, and although I got most of the dust, there's still some here and there that I managed...

Back ...

... Yeah, I have no idea if you remember me. I haven't been around here for ages – I actually don't remember when I was last here, but it was quite a while ago. Around the CCC3, I think. If you do remember me, I'm back; if you don't, I'm back anyway. The only reason I was gone was that I hadn't been...

Er... Should whoever made this MOC happen to read this, I suggest getting rid of the cave wall section. And giving Dumbledore his beard. I like the Inferi, though. (That should really be "Inferii," for the record, but...) Anyway, for those who haven't read the book, Harry and Dumbledore ar...

Forgive me if I sound impatient, but this is now the third time I'm asking this... Could someone please answer it this time? A while ago (several months at least), I uploaded a teaser picture of a castle I had built to Brickshelf, just of a small and digitally-darkened portion of the MOC (so it didn...

Posting this again as it was never answered: A while ago (several months at least), I uploaded a teaser picture of a castle I had built to Brickshelf, just of a small and digitally-darkened portion of the MOC (so it didn't show much of it at all). I never posted this on CC or anywhere else, nor did ...

I have a question similar to E of Alshire's... A while ago (several months at least), I uploaded a teaser picture of a castle I had built to Brickshelf, just of a small portion of the MOC and rather darkened (so it didn't show much of it at all). I never posted this on CC or anywhere else, nor did I...

*glances at the topic title* Unhand that apostrophe, good sir! ;) Anyway, as a sculpture, this is neat! I love the front paws, even if they aren't exactly flexible... The neck is great, as are the spines along the back. And I much prefer the wolf-head jaw to the official one for the Nidhogg. Just th...

It also says "some he passed in silence," so exactly how many there were is ambiguous... But, yeah, in the mid-twenties fits... Geekiness! Whee! :P Anyway, these look plenty menacing so far. Visually, I think only a few more would be needed, but the only thing I would change is add a few a...

Now, not that this is a bad thing for 9 year olds who love them, but to those of use who want to see better system sets, doesn't the problem lie with bionicle? I mean, if bionicle was just scrapped as a Lego line, wouldn't we start to see better quality system sets? (Please pardon my while I drag t...

They stay on well for me... I like the colour, though seeing them in shades of grey and in black would be great, and I have all the horns out at the moment since I think they look better without them. I think they look somewha goofy in person with the horns since they're so big in relation to the he...

I think it's absolutely swell, but then, I'm also both a System and Bionicle fan... System –> Bionicle I don't think would be especially likely for most Viking buyers. Not really sure why. I just doubt it. Bionicle –> System, however, I think is much more likely, especially coupled with the playsets...
