|
As some of you know I've been building mostly Bionicle stuff the last couple years. I know it's the lil' red haired stepchild of the Lego community but whatever; I'm sure you can get over it. Anyhoo BZPower (a Bionicle duh fan based website) is (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX) !!

[1] I still can't quite figure out some of it-- just above the little row of hard-plastic tires in this picture (and all throughout the MOC): (URL) It looks like there's some sort of cord, laced with protruding (...)

Firstly I must say this is one of the most original and awe-inspiring creations I have ever seen. When I saw it on Brickshelf I almost skipped past it, until I saw that it looked like a H.R. Giger sculpt! I love everything about this creation, the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

WOW! This thing is SO cool! First time that I saw it on BS I was floored. I immediately noticed the Giger influence. It's amazing how close you are getting to recreating his style, and how nicely you are integrating some of your own ideas into it. (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) When I saw this on brickshelf I thought, "almost nightmarish perfection, except they head doesn't quite seem to have the right evil aura". It needs a reworking in the future to do the rest of the model justice, or would that be injustice. (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

You better watch it, Bryce! Giger will sue your thievin' behind! Jaw-dropping eviliciousness! I hope this thing doesn't come alive at night and try to "pollenate" you! Better keep it frozen in stasis, "it's the only way to be sure!" Dave "Bryce (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Wow...Simply Wow. I can definitely feel the Geiger influence, and the use of pieces in this is beyond inspired. From a distance, I doubt it's recognizable as Lego, and looks more like a ready made sculpture. Simply amazing techniques and design. (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Wow! The best compliment I could give it is that I bet Giger would like it if he saw it. I read somewhere that he used animal bones and meat under the black rubber in the original Alien costume. Of course, they didn't have Bionicle back in '78, so I (...) (20 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
