I am very pleased to announce the very first ever posting of pictures of my very own original MOCs....very.(?!) The first set of pics is of a battering ram I made for my wolfpack figs. My wife says it looks like a "really bad chipmunk".(!!) I've never quite forgiven her for that. My therapist says I'm recovering nicely. Here's the pics: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2583 The second set of pics is of a wind-driven amphibious land cruiser that I made for the Black Falcons. It can go on land or in water...that's why I call it "amphibious". :^) It can cross moats and the front end is high enough to breach most castle walls...and beware the talons. Check it out: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2584 Last but not least, the Dark Fortress of the Warlord of Blakk. The first two pics are of the the Warlord of Blakk himself - my favorite custom fig to date. Following are about a gazillion pics of the fortress - built on a stone pillar at the bottom of the Blakk Valley, it rises five stories from it's base with two towers rising even higher. The Blakk valley is so deep and thickly forested that it only has one hour of daylight at high noon. Because of it's constant darkness it has become overrun with bats - the emblem of the Blakk Horde. It has been rumored that the Blakk Valley is what David referred to in Psalm 23 as "the valley of the shadow of death". It is also rumored that the Warlord of Blakk was alive centuries ago when the psalm was written - they say he stays alive by consuming his enemies (or maybe it's just a "Dread Pirate Roberts" kinda thing). Here's the pics: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2585 I feel like a proud new father! And remember all babies are cute so if you don't like my MOCs make up something nice to say. :^) Seriously, all criticisms are welcome....let me know what you think. "I'm NOT PLAYING, I'm CREATING!!"

(...) Great looking babies .. I mean MOCs !! The Dark Fortress is a winner. Love the use of the extreme slopes for battlements and the interesting use of arches for the "bat" wing overhangs. And good lookin' interiors to boot. I keep telling myself (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

(...) that stick out of the tower. The stable in the base is a nice touch as well. Too bad you couldn't bring this thing with you to the SEALUG meeting. ;^) (...) Nice work, Bill! ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

(...) properly. Could use interior decoration in addition to the lower courtyard and the jail cells. Reminds me a lot of some of the dark fantasy images you see on paperbacks.

(...) you have the resources, is to make it brown. Or most of it brown with the grey slopes as accents. All stone battering rams would have been a bit heavy to shove into castle doors. (...) from?

Bill, Bill, Bill! Me-aipho le-hatkhil?! It's great to see these MOCs I've heard about! I can tell you put a lot of effort in there (even disregarding the fact that I heard they were in process of building several weeks ago! ;-). Those first two (...)
