Welcome to Moyblik

As you may have noticed, we added Mr. Dean Hoffmeyer to our blogger list.
Welcome aboard mate.

Allies capture the forward bunker! (Or Romhaller's Druzynik tank)

Thanks to Dale (Unit 186 ) for pointing out this tank on Flickr. As "Captain Unknown" was the first to point out, the front looks a lot like the window of an axis bunker from the FPS Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Hence the title.



Some of the really cool things about this are the nearly studless construction, the really cool half-brick-built tracks, and the bunker on the front. The use of tiles and curved slopes along with the occasional 1x1 round plate makes for a really clean riveted armor look. The tracks make really good use of the fact that old-style tank tracks can attach to the bottom of a 1xn plate or tile. And the bunker... Well, it's not really a bunker, but as a tank basically serves the same function as a bunker, only it moves, that's OK. The same purpose applies especially on this one, obviously, as it... has a bunker on the front. Well almost. Whatever. Bunker. Tank. Tanker. Bunk. I should shut up now.

Can't we love both?

Moyblik is going on strong! Woo-hoo!

I have two things. One is castle, from a fairly random brickshelf gallery, Dandily, but it sure is pretty. He made a beautiful lighthouse, and apparently the light is a dragon! The Vikings brought him some tasty food. It's simple, but very well made and looks great.

On the other hand, Jerrac, one of my favorite spacers, has made another wonderful microscale ship, a miner, as he calls it. He always has excellent colorization and contrast, as well as sculpting and SNOT. This is no exception-- great job!!

Musical Motivation: The Shins

From Moyblik's Very Own Lukas....

Comes this decent cargo carrier. My favorite thing about it is the construction. Plain ole' good n simple studs-up. No fancy tricks or crazy ideas. Just a fun little craft. The details that have been added since the WIP version really help. Nicely done Lukas.

Oreo McFlurries and a Bag of Fries.

Spook's new Angelfire Tank is just short of awesome. I love it. The use of turntable tops is sweet.

And Mike Yoder continues building his Blackwater mercenary fleet. Between the name, the ships themselves, and the fact that it's a mercenary fleet period, this is the awesomness batch of microscale I've seen in a while.

Space Bot Punk

teh gil has made a sweet little cargo carrier (okay, it isn't really little, but it's not huge or nothing.) Like my WIP carrier, he ditched fancy SNOT for a simple, nice clean look. I dunno. I really like it.

And following after Soren's "Mr. Choppy", spook made a micro-sized version. From the flickr thumbnail (as many commented...) it looks like the original. Neat!

And after joining the flickr group LEGO, a new builder has arrived, building steampunk, and made an awesome Steampunk wheel chair! It's simple, but clean and the gears totally rock.

Gip Metro's Yacht

From longtime space builder Felix Greco comes an awesome new ship.
I've always loved Felix's use of shapes in his MOCs. Always swooshy and curving. His work is some of the first I saw with dk blue. I generally just love his stuff.
And this is no exception. Beautiful curves, awesome shapes, decent greebling. Makes me wish I had a butt-load of dk blue. And while the outside has a retro-old school build in places, the interior really shines. Nice detail, good use of parts. It's da bomb diggety so to speak.

K, I've raved enough for now. Later.

Creature Contest

Since I wasn't really doing anything administrative, I'm probably just gonna judge. Here are summa the best (...which means most of the entries. Almost everything is excellent.)

-=Megan Rothrock has a crudload of entries, but my favorites is the simple, deadly, zothoparas.
-=Aidan has a nifty little snake-like thing going here.
-=Nick made a cuddly-wuddly little creature.
-=Arpy has a Xenomorph-esque beast here (careful, it stings)
-=Arpy also made a very organic-looking Cloudflitter.
-=Linus made the adorably simple spunk.
-=Brandon made a sweet little Pekkling. It's like a moon-turtle/crab. *poke* *curl*

That's it. Good job guys.

Musical Motivation: iTunes on Shuffle...

EDIT: Spook made a sweet little jelly-thing. Veery nice.

So Far So Good

Moyblik is up running strong. Here's hoping it keeps up that way.
So anyway, I have for you, an entire gallery of awesomness. (that I'm sure most of you have seen already)
My favorite is the DeLorean. (Yes, I am hooked on BTTF now)
Coming in second is probably the Torino from Starsk & Hutch.


And third is the Skyline. Some nice work there.

Whatszattt? you want curent material? sheesh.
Fine, chew on this,this and thisfor a while.

Mijasper returns

A master fig builder (he should have been in my fig ALOCS...) has brought us two new installments: Van Gogh and Darwin. The Van Gogh isn't that new, but the easel is very nice. He added that and a few others to his "things" gallery.
