Coup de Tonnerre / Gremlin I

2010-05-29T16:52:00.000-07:00

It may look unarmed, but the Gremlin's armaments are simply folded against its wings.

A delapidated and rotting wood-and-iron structure above an abandoned mineshaft.

I'm scared....

2010-02-10T19:01:00.000-08:00

Are any of you alive?

I suppose I shouldn't say anything though, as I haven't posted anything myself....

Alright, there.

Sorry I haven't posted for a while...real life vacations and such :)

Anyway, a few MOCs I've built:

Camp

2009-06-27T13:32:00.000-07:00

This Monday I'm going to summer camp again for a month. So I won't be posting for a while.

Sqiddster - I'm leaving you in charge. Is that OK?

See you in August!
Update: I have no self control. I'm bringing a box of minifig bits.

Hummel II

2009-06-27T13:29:00.001-07:00

My second helicopter build, with more detail, SNOT, tiling, and an improved tail and rotor.

Clacchita-Maru

2009-06-26T22:50:00.000-07:00

This all started out when my little brother asked me to build him a "Twansformer". I accepted and it quickly turned into a full-scale project.I was aiming to go for that sort of scrappy, repaired-many-times look. That is why there is all the colours.

it is about a foot and a half tall and pretty darn heavy.

ohhh, backstory.

The Clacchita-Maru originated when Mriac Hvacx (pronouce that) purchased a brand new fighter. Of course, being the inventor that he is, he made some major modifications.

ok that's all folks!

EDIT: apparently the pics are too large to fit. see them all at flickr

Hummel

2009-06-23T15:31:00.000-07:00

I tried to take a break from RAMM... but after less than a week I lost control. I built this and even bricklinked a bunch of dark bley pieces. I have no will power apparently.

The Hummel is used to transport troops in wartime, because it's heavy armor lets it withstand moderate attacks while it's long range machine gun and 2 rocket propelled grenades also help it get over enemy territory where it can drop paratroopers. As they say, offense is the best defense!

Deleted from RAMM as usual.

Gepanzerte Frachtfördermaschine II

Gepanzerte Frachtfördermaschine II
Originally uploaded by NXTMonger

This 2nd edition features a tiled and SNOT'd roof, as well a re hauled back and redesigned wheels and wheel guards and two exhaust pipes.

Deleted from the RAMM pool as usual.

Gepanzerte Frachtfördermaschine

2009-06-13T20:06:00.000-07:00

Here's another deleted RAMM MOC

A heavily armored truck employed in the transport of supplies during wartime. It is water-tight to the extent that it can get through mud and shallow marshes, and it's advanced suspension allow it to travel over rough terrain with little decrease in speed.

Einkaufswagen: Variant of previous MOC

2009-06-12T21:38:00.000-07:00

A armored vehicle used for invading cities where it can cause fatal damage with it's rapid fire chaingun.

I think this one may have been accepted into RAMM. Yay!
Edit: Never mind. They deleted this one too.

Panzerkampfwagen

2009-06-11T12:40:00.001-07:00

An armored car used for invading small towns and villages.

Edit: As usual, it was deleted from the RAMM pool on Flickr with no explanation.

2009-05-15T11:09:00.001-07:00

I went for a more Anime-alternate WWII style with it. That explains the shape of the outer arm ;)

Inspired a lot by this.

If anyone's wondering, it does fit a minifigure :)

Well hi there!

An Improved C.A.S.

2009-03-30T05:55:00.000-07:00

This is my latest NXT creation. It has 4 US sensors and 2 servos. It is supposed to avoid collisions and drops. It acuually works quite well.The program is divided into 2 parts, front and back. The robot will travel forewards untill either of the front sensors are tripped. When one is tripped it sends a "true" value to a filter block which says "if 1 or 2 trues are recieved, send true" This block sends "true" to the split, which then takes the appropriate action. While it backs up, it runs a similar process for the back sensors. It is surprisingly light, while being very solid. The wires are a bit of a mess, but I blame TLC for only including 1 short wire. I used a brace system to stop the tracks from bending upwards. I hope you like it.

RAMM - Katze

2009-02-22T14:42:00.001-08:00

The Katzes hide in strategic locations around the city and pop out at the first sign of trouble. As you can see they are very heavily armed but have minimal armor, so one good hit will disable them.

Your Christmas present is a post that's NOT about IATTAR

First, a suction cup gun

And some more for Good Measure

2008-12-24T13:44:00.000-08:00

Henrik Sniffar"s "Leech" is a very speedy racer that could never hold enough fuel for an entire race. So, Henrik puts the pedal to the plastic and when he catches up to another racer he uses the suction cup to hang on till the end of the race, and then he pops off and speeds past the finish line.

The legendary pilot known simply as "Ned" has a large selection of racers but his favorite is this retrofitted antique called 32. Its designed for wide open tracks where speed is key. In a crowded race when too many racers are jockeying for the lead, he can simply rev the engines and zip through to the front because most of his racer is in the air.

More IATTAR Track Racers

2008-12-23T17:47:00.000-08:00

Here are 2 more track racers that i designed.

Slug Lights

2008-12-22T18:56:00.000-08:00

This is my new IATTAR racer, Slug Lights. It's story:

Colonel Harding and a few close friends, fans of IATTAR racing, wanted to compete but were put off by how dangerous the tracks were, and the sheer amount of vehicles driving simultaneously. They started their own league, which took place underwater, called IATTAUR, or Interplanetary Association of Tracked & Thrust Assisted Underwater Racing. They were sued soon after by the original racing association for patent infringement, and were forced to shut down. Colonel Harding kept his prized racer called "Slug Lights", though, which is why you see it here today.

Terror in Tabletown

2008-11-30T22:25:00.000-08:00

This is my entry to the competition 'Terror in Tabletown' on Tabletown Talk.

'The sunlight glints off the body of the Visitor as it steps over the bloodied corpse of a police officer. Below the ground,a lone survivor tries to find shelter and security, but is halted by a stone wall and knows very well that he must either stay and starve or fight and die like the police officer. A thousand screams fill the air as similar Visitors wreak havoc through downtown Tabletown.'

wish me luck!

THE WINNERS!

2008-11-05T00:38:00.000-08:00

Finally!

I can announce the winners of The Minifig In A Bad Situation Contest!

Firstly I would like to say thank you to all the entrants-we had a total of 7 entries- a pretty good result for a blog with only 3 active readers........ (if you are an active reader and are not a contributor, please let us know and we would gladly make you a contributor)

But enough advertising....... It's time to get to the winners!

FIRST PLACE:

Sqiddster with Joe's Day At The Fair!

SECOND PLACE:

Sqiddster with Joe's Lucky Day!

THIRD PLACE:

Mini_Man176 with Minifigs Hit by Tsunami!

MOST ENTRIES AWARD:

NXTMonger with 4 enties involving everything from pumpkins to laptops to human faecal matter (to put it in scientific terms, poo.)

Congratulations to the winners!

Now before you get suspicious, you should know that i feel extremely guilty about winning first and second place, as i was the one organising the competition.....

The judging was as fair as i could make it-i had every member of the family go through the entries and pick the one which made them laugh the most and was the most creative.

I would have made myself ineligeble to win but then there would not be enough entries.

Again congratulations to the winners and as this competiton was a smashing success, there should be more competitions in the future (maybe one of the other contributors could host the next one........)

StealthCorps -Sneaker Bug v1-

2008-11-02T17:19:00.000-08:00

Yet Another Tank

2008-10-26T10:03:00.000-07:00

I really like building tanks. I'm not particularly good at building them, but I really enjoy building them. And they do get a bit better each time, so here is the latest version. It's my 3rd but only the 2nd that I've posted here.
