Correct. This is the item that wasn't supposed to be uploaded until the Michons
were done with it and had showed it off themselves. I guess you didn't catch
that part of my post, eh, Mike? :)

In order from left to right: Cankerworm and it's riders, Pisces, Aries, Dark
Onua, Capricorn, and Big Blue deep in the back. Proof that Bryce builds slightly
larger items than I do. ;)

I know it was someone's trade stock, but I can't remember whos off the top of my
head. I'd hazard a guess, but I really hate being wrong.

> Dave's entries from the Hoverthing Contest.
Wow! Lovely picture! Let's see here...they aren't all mine, but I owe you all a
desription of what they are, so here it goes...
Top left corner: Dark Grey, Red, Sand Red-Unnamed Hoverthing 1 that was too wide
to be entered into the contest. It was a fun design and will get named and
placed on my hoverthings page shortly.
Next to Unnamed Hoverthing 1:Dark Grey and Brown-Unnamed Hoverwagon. This has a
cargobay and didn't qualify for the contest due to being a day late.
Next to Unnamed Hoverwagon: Dan Jassim's Classic Space Bus. It is exactly 30
studs long and qualified for the contest, but I don't know if pics were sent in
time to qualify.
Behind Dan's Spacebus: Black and Red M-Tron Aerie. One of my fastest builds and
slowest uploads....didn't qualify for the contest by missing the deadline by an
hour. DOH!!! Built in 20 minutes from start to finish and is the smallest of my
hover collection.
Behind the Aerie: My Droidco Quadripod shown here:
http://members.home.net/legomecha/lego/spacehoverquadripod.html
Next to Droidco's Quadripod: The Fnord Manitoba Hovertruck. Info here:
http://members.home.net/legomecha/lego/spacehovermanitoba.html
Below the Fnord Manitoba Hovertruck: Droidco's Organica. Info here:
http://members.home.net/legomecha/lego/spacehoverorganica.html
Below Droidco's Organica: Fnord's Clydesdale. Info here:
http://members.home.net/legomecha/lego/spacehoverclydesdale.html
Beside Fnord's Clydesdale: Brown and Trans Yellow-Unnamed, unfinished
hoverthing. This probably will end up being a lesson in design rather than a
full-fledged creation. Only time will tell. Proof that too many trans yellow
slopes is a good thing. There are 40 trans yellow 1 x 2 slopes in there. You can
spot them on the edges holding it all together.
Whew!

Yeah, for once I took over an entire trade table. I don't normally bring as much
stuff as I did this time and that's only because it was already packed and ready
to go. Those rolykits were invaluable in starting up my ol' Brickbay shop and
now they are used for trading parts I have an excess of. Anyone need six blue
Garage Door bricks? Email me...please! ;)

Yep. This is one of my pics that just didn't come out at all...low battery, I
guess. Thing o' beauty that one is! For those that are wondering-everything on
it can move...it's quite posable. Thanks again, Eric for letting us borrow it
for a while.

Sun Yun and I raking through the grey while the Michon clan perused the blue
bits. It's amazing to think that I was only there for certain red parts....damn
those other colors for tempting me with their parts! ;)

Bryce's Garage aka his workshop. Nice setup than mine...cleaner too! Alright,
there's Bryce kneeling with Dan 'melty parts' Jassim standing nearby. You can
see most of the creations quite well...what you don't see right above
Cankerworm's head is the other mecha on loan to us from Chris Snead: Cepheus!
What this picture does a great job of showing off are Brian Stokes' Lego bins
right in the front bottom of the pic. Yes, that one bin is ALL black parts.

HEY! They may be little, but they pack quite a punch! left to right: Pisces,
Aries, Dark Onua (tough to see), and Capricorn. Also note above Capricorn: a
Cankerworm rider.

LOL! A group shot around the 'unsorted' bin! No, I'm not going to attempt to
name everyone because I'm still not good with names until I meet someone for the
third time.

Here's hoping I can spend more than 15 minutes with them someday...They truly
are beautiful close up.

and Cepheus. Also on the shelf are the Legorilla and Bryce's BioniCentaur(with
dragon wing helmet). The boy was a neighborhood kid who wanted to see why adults
were playing with Lego. This is also a good shot of Bryce's extremely organized
collection.
