What do We Call This Post?

Lukas, Chuck and I are on Moyblik now.
Builder's Block comes to a halt, while Snoikle slows down a far pace.
I do want to keep updating from time to time, but it won't be nearly as much as I used to.
I still wanna make it to 100 posts and/or one year.

Vertigo

B-shelf user Ara built a very nice corvette recently. Therefor, I blogged it.
First of all, it's red. in large amounts, red is awesome.
Second, it sports some beautiful details.
The way slopes, tiles, and studs are used together works well, giving the illusion, if not the effect, of a very rounded shape.
The engine section is the best part. And while the thrusters themselves aren't much to write home about, the area around them is tight to the tenth.
The interior is pretty nice, the floors aren't smooth, as with a lot of modern SHIPS. Which I like. Studs r00l.
And in case you couldn't guess, it's inspired by Adrian Drake's Bloodmoon. Very cool.

On a side note, there are a couple things I've been considering doing.
1: A "Best of 2006" series. MOCs that I really,really, liked that came up this year,
2: A "All Time Favorite MOCs" series. My all time favorites.
3: A voter based Best of 2006. Where you pick your favorite from a bunch that I'd pick.
Dunno, just some ideas I was kicking around.

On a PR related note, I have a question for you.
Where did you hear about/find Snoikle?
A) CSF
B) Brothers Brick
C) CS Chat
D) Random blog surfing
E)Other.

Get Over It

So way back when, Nick Dean built a SHIP. Then he didn't take pictures. Then everyone rioted. Well, at least several folks were disapointed. So now he gives us pictures.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls (the MIB are back to protect the world) I give you the CMC-47 Kestrel!

I mostly love this for A) the shape. Sleek and streamlined, but with nice angles and corners. And B) the weapons. That turret up front is h0t. Also worth mention is Nick's new blog. Review'd. Hasn't been around long and he already has bashed SS, reveiwed the new Bond movie, and posted a MOC. Looks like a helthy start. It's also a trend now. Lukas started Builder's Block only to lose interest. Then v2 came along and he's going strong. Then I made Dez's Lego Blog, or something like that. And it failed. But of course, that one night, setbot uttered the imortal word "Snoikle" and I was inspired. Seven months and still running strong. Nick had BrickNick. But that never really took off. Review'd shows promise. The trick has been I think, to not just foucs on LEGO. We all post thoughts on music, games, cool websites, our lives in general, and occasionally plain 'ole bullcrap. But anyway, check out his SHIP, leave comments, start your own fanboy blog, start the first Snoikle fan-club, whatever.

Thanksgiving

An idea ripped off from Brothers Brick. Have a Happy Turkey Day!!

Happy Halloween!

It's the first major holiday Snoikle has been around for (except July 4th, but I wasn't into Snoikle as much then) so here's are little Brothers Brick Halloween greetings! I was gonna shoot a little scene like this, but I found I don't really have a sigfig. Duke Buzznik barely represents ME. So anyway, Happy Halloween!
