I'm back from vacation........well, new stuff time!!!!

     Well, I'm back from vacation!!!! It was kind of a long one, I know, but I'm back now, and I have stuff prepared for a post everyday for a while.
      On the way back from vacation, I read a book called "This World We Live In". It was a very sad book. But, anyway, it is about a girl's life in the world during an apocalypse, when the moon moves closer to earth when it is hit by an asteroid. This simple change brings tidal waves that destroy cities and earthquakes that destroy larger areas of the world. Volcanic ash covers the world so the blue sky is never seen and the plants start dying around them. Food becomes scarce, and of course, the girl's decision changes her family forever, blah blah blah, and it ends no better that it started. But it seemed like a perfect time to make an MOC, so I got up the morning after our getting back from our vacation and built this humble little scene.

I think it might actually be a good movie picture if they ever make this into a movie. I like the landscaoe much more than the girl, so here is a picture of it alone.

So I hope you enjoyed that!!!!! If you really do want to hear about my vacation, go to walkingonthenarrowpath.blogspot.com to see it. Thanks for reading!!!!

Some Cool Creations From Paul Vermeesch!!!!!

     Well, I finally have some of Paul Vermeesch's creations! He builds some biblical creations, but I don't don't know if he is a Christian(if you read my other blog, you know I'm Christian Baptist).
     The pictures don't do these models justice. I'm so sorry.

     Here is one of his creations, not exactly biblical but religious. It's called "The Pilgrim's Progress".

This IS one of his biblical creations. It's when Jesus clears the temple, predictably called "Clearing the Temple". I love it! P.S. I'm sorry I can't make the pictures any bigger, but it messes up the quality.

This is just one of his normal awesome creations, called "Route 66".

This is one of my favorite creations of his, called "Angry Birds"!!!!! Since I love Angry Birds and(I'm sorry, I'm being braggy) I'm in the Top 5% of all Angry Birds players in the world(I'm like 47,000th or something), this is one of my favorites.

And now, for Paul's most popular, "Einstein's Study"!!!!! I like it(love it).

Paul, thank you SO MUCH for letting me use your MOCs on my blog. Paul Vermeesch gets full credit for all five of these creations, and you can see his creations here: http://mocpages.com/home.php/54098

Thanks again Paul!

Something New After All The Boring Stuff.

     Well, I have abandoned this blog, and I'm ashamed. I have left my fellow followers hanging, and I'm sorry.
     BUT THERE'S GOOD NEWS!!!!!!
     I am working on cleaning up my Lego room, and I'm going to post pictures of what I'm building. Even the ones who are only half interested in my blog will want to see this, because it will show also some of my new projects that I haven't released to MocPages yet because they are not quite done, and you will get to see some models I will never post to MocPages, the type I will tear apart after awhile.
     I also asked Paul Vermeesch to allow me to show some of his models on MocPages onmy blog, and I hope he accepts! He builds wonderful stuff and I think he might say yes.
     That's all for this blog post, but expect more soon, VERY soon.
    

U.K.D.A.!!!!!!!!

     So, it has been a VERY long time since I have posted on this blog. But I have had good reason! I have made a group on MocPages called the United Kingdom Defense Association!!!

     It is an alternative group to Dawn Forge, and I don't know if you know what group that is. If you know, the group I made is the members of the U.K. deciding to defend Great Britain and the U.K. against Dawn Forge.

     I have been lacking on giving you all my MocPages account. Here it is: 

     http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/70925

     Lots of spaces! Anyway, that is my MocPages account stuff. To find my group go to mocpages.com and search "United Kingdom Defense Association" in the search box. Click on groups, and there it is! Feel free to join and add Lego creations!

     

My Collection is Soaked!

     Well, I came home tonight, and it turns out that are basement is flooded by the flash flood that hit our area. I wasn't worried, this has happened before. But when I went downstairs, I found out that part of my collection is soaked!!! This includes my brown pieces group, my little brother's collection, and my rainbow box(this is my box where I keep pieces that I haven't sorted, to give me a little inspiration sometimes)!!! Now I'm a bit of a nervous wreck. At least I leave all my models on my table, so none of my favorite things I have built have been soaked.

     This is a major setback for me. I am just going to have to give my collection a day and see what happens. Let's hope I don't have to trash the bricks; if anyone has any experience at all on wet Lego bricks, I would love some help from someone in the comments.

My New Mandalorian Speeder!

     Well, I was sitting here, and thinking about that tank I had built. I thought it was awesome, but that the Mandalorains I have needed a vehicle, too, since my little brother plays with the tank and declares that the Mandalorians are outnumbered by the superiority of the tank. So I decided to build the Mandalorians a speeder, since I think the one that Lego makes in the set #7914 Mandalorian Battle Pack, is pretty pathetic.
     So, I spent about 30 minutes on it this afternoon, and here it is:

And this is a custom(here meaning that the head and hair are from different sets)Mandalorian minifigure standing next to the vehicle, to give you both scale of size and the minifigure match colors(on the speeder).  

  

I'm sorry, I know the front is blurred up a bit. Well, I just wanted to share that, and let people know that I am still building, even though my collection of bricks not on a model slowly grows smaller.

My New Tank!

     I finished my tank! I think it is pretty good. Here it is:

    
     The front has three areas slide out. The one on the left is a land mine storage area where you can store, well, land mines, complete with shovel. The one in the middle is the cockpit; it obviously controls the tank. And the one on the right is a missile storage area.

     This is the back of the tank, closed.

     It opens, revealing an area with two beds, two chairs across from each other with a table in the middle, and a small are for troop deployment.

This is just a simple view of an open are where there is a gun on each side. It is also an area that can be used to command the tank into battle.

Now this is a final view of the whole thing.

     I think this is a pretty good creation of mine. The hard part was getting the front on the top to angle properly, but I think that in the end it gave it a nice look. My favorite part is the back hatch; it is just so fun to lift it up and down! But all of the front functions are very nice, too, especially the cockpit, which is very well detailed.
     I interviewed my brother on this tank, and let him play around with it for about twenty minutes. He says that it has great features and playability, and he likes the design too.
     And, of course, the color combination. It is one of my favorite parts. I just love the color combination of dark red, dark grey, and light grey.
     Overall, I think that this tank turned out very well, and I hope that this draws you back to read my blog and see more of my creations!
