Beautiful Day

The tiltle is actually fairly mis-leading. It's not very beautiful today at all. It's a rainy-cloudy-gloomy sort of day. Which i guess could be beautiful to some people. Anyway, bring on the clowns........


First up, a cool little police hover-car by B-Shelf user atamacher. It's pretty nice. The shape and detail are good. The colors are a bit splotchy. They could use some tightening up. I'm digging the back compartment, I can just imagine the officer saying "watch your head" as he crams them in there. The siren and tail light arrangments look good. seven out of ten stars to this one.

Secondly, a SHIP I should have blogged when it first came out a couple days ago. Biggest microscale ship we've seen since Paul's Lance of Athena. Nice shapes and detailing on this, plus it uses orange, which is an instant plus in my book.
It can be seen here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=201712


Third up to bat, my CS Chat friend Jaster (AKA Matt) built a floating rock which he wanted me to Snoikle. (the sign of a good blog?) It's a pretty decent MOc. One thing other people have pointed out, is that the rock looks too small to hold the house. I don't really care that much. It's all fantasy anyway. The dock is a nice touch. Like a garage for your baloon thingy (which was also Snoikled)

Ornj is Teh h0t.

I don't think I've ever Snoikled any of Moko's work. It's actually pretty amazing. Cause he builds awesome stuff very often. Like this here orange mech. The color is wonderful, but you have to know how to use it. The ankels and lower arms are my favorite part of this thing. And the drill. Chrome, when used right is a instant weiner. *Eherm* that is, winner. Beautiful combonation of techie bits and ornjy goodness.

In Which Hawk Returns to His First Love.

I may build space. And blog space. And like space. But my first theme I liked was castle. So anyway, B-Shelf user Dandin built a diorama of a small keep and the surronding foliage. I'm liking the mixed gray used here. It adds to the "built of stone look" The detail really makes this stand out. The inside is also pretty cool. Sporting a kitchen, a barracks, (I think) a cellar, armory, bedroom and more. It also folds out for asy acess. A cool trick I'll use if I ever build castle again. There's a couple different animals around, including some sheep, a couple ducks, and a cow. (actually, I think that's all the animals.) I don't really no much about blogging castle, but I had to point this one out. Pretty cool.

Steam Kumquat

A very cool MOC by CSF user Jaster. Hmm......I don't know his real name actually. But anyway, he made a little steam powered baloon that even jonesy, the king of steampunk, liked. I'm loving the ornj and the steam on the back, I'm also falling asleep as I type so this will be brief. Very cool, Matt, very cool.

Hidden Weapons Freighter Shuttle Thingy

To quote....myself. "Oh my. I think I'm in love" A very, very, very, cool little shuttle. The color scheme sets the pace for this excellent vessle. The stripes work beautifully. It's all purty.


The second cool feature is the weapons. If you first look at it you'll say "what weapons?" Ah, I say. The hidden weapons that pop out all over the ship.
It appears that this little shuttle is really a gunboat! missiles, missiles,and more cannons. Oh so, loverly this ship is. Very cool.

Teh EB Mastah Bilds

What's this you say? Another post, two seconds after his last one? Yeah, I'll admit. I should have checked CSF MOC forum before blogging Linus's ship. I could have donee one big Multiple MOC post. But....I didn't. So anyway, here are several MOCs I felt deserved to be Snoikled.

First up, Lenny's Floating Rock Mushroom house thingy. http://www.neutronbot.com/lenny/?m=MrAHouse
A awesome litte house on a FR. It has a, dare I say, magical feel to it. I love the little boat that goes with it. Superb.
Second, Teh EBKA Nadezhda Battlecruiser. An awesome space submarine if there ever was one. Detail is amazingly abundant for a ship that looks smooth at first glance. The weapons are nice, perfect EB look. And the interior. That's what makes it stand out. Take the time to look through all the pics and marvel at all the details he crammed in there. Andof course, the fact that it's red doesn't hurt it a bit. ;-)

The Return of Eddie.

w00t. Linus Bohman officially takes back first place with his third Snoikled MOC. A funny little "Pimped Ship" for the Floating Head Eddie. Make sure to read the storyt behind this one on MOCpages. The ship it's self is pretty cool. A concept Linus had worked on before comes into play in making this one. I have to admit to be confoozeled to what the engines are. Intakes in the front thrusters in back? So anyway, I just had to blog this Linus could be in first place again. In the immortal words of Bug Bunny "Ain't I a stinkah?"

Ornj Rocks Your World

Or it should at least. I'm a little late on this but seeing as Tom McDonald is the man who is partly responsible for the creation of Snoikle, I figured I better blog his latest MOC. First off, it's orange. Secondly it has a cool shape, not quite conforming to standard shapes. The dk gray and white is worked in beautifully. And the way all the minifigs are crammed inside is pretty neat. The engines are my only nit. Actually kinda lame IMHO. But that's just me. Now, this would be a longer post, ranting on about how cool this sucker is, but It's not even 8:00 yet. So I'm not quite at the top of my Snoikling snoikleness.

Federation Advance Fighter.

I can't belive I've never snoikled any of Brenden Wilson's work. The lad's a excellent builder. He builds Micro-scale and fighters with similar.....um....finesse? beauty? goodness? I'm not so hot on the whole "think up the right word" thing today. But anyway. I really like his latest MOC (or it wouldn't be here, would it?) The shape is nice. Following in the footsteps of his Verasio bomber. It sports a nifty wing design, some awesome greeblies, and a cool little decal on the side. And since I'm busy, the rest you'll have to find out for yourself.:-)

zOMG! Two posts in ONE day?

That's right. I saw this and knew instanly that it must be Snoikled. I love love love this one. The colors are the best part. Dk gray, white and (w00t!) dk red. A winning combonation to say the least. The weapons are nice, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.......And oh yeah, the cockpit. A+ for this one. So now we have a funky four-way-tie-that's-losing-it's-fun. So one of youse guys go build something cool. Or at least Snoikle worthy! ;-)

Dragon Bomber

We now have a three-way tie for first place. Turkguy19 has built a sweet little fighter craft thing-a-mabobber. The colors are the best part. (I'm definetly a red addict) nice smooth, clean feel to this one. The weapons are tight. The fin is another thingI like. Fins can add to a MOC when used right. This one most certainly does. The shape when viewed from the front is probably my favorite thing about this. So cool. I'm not gonna spend a hour going on about it. I'll just let YOU decide how cool it is.

But mom, I don't wanna Blog today.....

I didn't want to. I'm busy and tired and underfed. But I had to anyway. MArk Stafford's R-Wing is the awesomest entry in this contest that I've seen. And believe me, I've seen a lot. Ok, so this thing has an awesome shape. (the whole 'R' thing pretty much makes that a given) the detail is great, the *feel* of the ship is great. It feels like one of Jon Palmer's ships. And the cherry on top, it's onrj. I love orange. It's to die for in this quantity. Whoops, this Marks mark's err marks Mark's second Snoikled MOC. Putting the postion of first place on the Snoikle-Meter in a tie. One of you *two better build something awesome so I can blog it. ;-)

*The other being Linus Bohman. But seeing as he's my only loyal reader methinks he'll know who I'm talking about.

Got 3vil?

This is such an awesome MOC. I love 3vil. And I love Legohaulic's work. So when I saw that he built 3vil I nearly flipped. The detail is amazing on this beauty. Lots of guns. Lots and lots of guns. Greeblies look sweet and the skull is by far, the best I've ever seen. A skull with a mohawk smokinga cig. Awesome. And you know, I really don't need to write about how cool this is. It pretty much speaks for itself.

Scoin XB

Mike Yoder is another builder whos talent I wish I had. His Altair ships are nothing short of sweet. And he seems to have an awesome style no matter what he's building. (although the ship he's working on now seems to vary from his usual....excellence) But anyway, this little gem is awesome. I know from first hand experience how hard making a futuristic car can be. He pulls it off nicely. The way it folds out is pretty cool. And the colors, the colors are the best part. Mike loves his Exo-Force stickers, and they work beautifully here. I want to build a little army of these babies. Blah blah blah and so on. So there you have it yet again, Snoikle (with the help of that guy who built it) brings you a little transport worthy of {insert obscure Sci-Fi reference here}

Kitsune.

From the man who gave us the Aggressor, the Iron Rhino, and the Spartan vs. Wolverine series, comes the latest breathtaking MOC. Critics agree "two thumbs up!" Kyle Vreize, take a bow.

Where does one start on a ship like this? It's the one of the awesomest space MOCs I've seen since the Asmodeus came along. The amount of detail is the best part.
Lots of shape, color, and weapons. Oh Boy, the weapons! guns that look spacey but not corny or oversized. The turret up front (rail-gun?) is sweetness itself.
And the missiles. Vreize is a stronge advocate of missiles.
The engines are another stronge point. Wheels? yes. Cool? hellz yes.
On the Aggressor, he had a idea about "Graviton Drive" or somesuch. I'm thinking he doing the same here. Beautiful.
This ship takes strongly after the Aggressor. This Snoikler is going to guess it's based on the same idea/inspiration. I just can't get over how cool it is. Well done Kyle.

Shin-nyu

Linus Bohman reaches first place in the Snoikle-Meter. Having been Snoikled more times than anyone else. So anyway, his latest ship really is awesome. It's yet another ship that you first look at and think "ah, micro!" and then you keep clicking pics and discover "gasp! It ISN'T micro!" The colors are what really drew me too this craft, the blend of red, gray, white and black is awesome. The grabs are another strong point. Beautifully executed. The engine it'self is also sweet. This guy has really grown as a builder since he first came to CSF. (oh yes, I credit CSF for all of this ;-) ) Here's looking at you Linus!

Steam Tank

Built by moi for the CSF Flickr Group Steampunk Contest (What a name) it's probably not my best work, but I wanted to build something cool for this contest.

Orca Class Fighter

The shape is cool. The colors are cool. The schmoothness is cool. This post shall be short.

Justice Is Served.....On a Silver Platter!

Chris Giddens. Lego Ambassador, CSF Admin. Uber-geek (Sshhhhh, don't tell him I said so) And of course, the guy who builds ships like the Vanguard, Fazoom-O-Craft, and S.L.A.M. He also built this rather stylish blue vessel (that's right, I said blue. Trying to break this Red craze I'm on) It sports some awesome weaponery, beautifully thought out shape and details, The cockpit is nicely done using three different pieces to make one full window. And the engines, although they ARE wheels. They don't look like wheels stuck on a spaceship. They actually look like engines. And of course, my fav-o-rite part......chrome. I'm a sucker for chrome. Beautiful ship Chris, keep up the mind-blowing-jaw-dropping-butt-kicking good work!
