So I am assuming you won? I need an aspirin after reading all of that, I think I have a headache now. Cool build though, Chris

Exciting model !!>....well done.....

AMAZING!!!!! This is REALLY GOOD!!!!! You're a VERY talented builder! =)

Good job and awesome attention to detail. Please check out my stuff.

LOL!!! Brownie point for "independence Day" Reference!!!

i wish i could build like you! you lego creatoins are awsome i mean it they rock the house :)

I LOVE UR STUFFF!!!!

Amazing detail!

S.E.M.E.N - Classic! How long did it take you to think of that acronym? Hey, I would be honored if I could get your expertise on my latest (and only) W.I.P. It's been out there for a few weeks but hasn't seen much action and I really want the input to complete it. Not much more to say about the CP-69 - your work is unreal...I mean, it's real, it's just...you get it.

can you post a guy that goes in the drop pod

Whoa! Perfect dropship, great photoshopping in the main pic! I wish I had that many pieces, good going!

Excellent

Totally admire your work my man, can you offer a rank novice any advice on improving my measgre offerings? www.mocpages.com/home.php/23550 Really appreciate any feedback from the master.

Dagum Kelso, this thing is beast...

Yes, indeed.

51 days from my original comment- I ask: does 'CP' stand for Chris Phipson?

You have my vote, welcome to round two! Oh wait... wrong contest. Same verdict. ~ Chris.

Nice creation, with blah, blah, blah. The pics are blah, blah, blah, and with the level of detail that blah, blah, blah (Mark swallows). Alright, you've got my vote as well. Although, your masochistic challenger gave you a run for you money. Lee.

This is really cool! Happy New Year! Did you see a guy with the last name Pastrony make a world record at 12:00 in the morning? It was after a football game last night...

Alright Kelso...you have succeeded in laying the smack. Great work here. I love the shape of your ship and the greebling gives it a lot of great detail. But my favorite part is the playability aspects you have incorporated. The drop pods are fantastic. You have my vote Mark. Great work!

When you said theosnore that insulted me, but that was your point, right? great moc.

It flies low into the insertion point, often without detection due to its size and speed, and from a hovering position… (once again like Chris.) :O

wow! this is great! i think the drop pods were a nice touch

all your jokes are usually funny...but with calling phipsons mom ugly and cheap you sorta went the extra mile...but i doubt Chris cared

Hey, ya can't blame a guy for trying...and don't you have a ship to build?

Nice dropship... can it drop off troops or is it only a bomber?

You just got most discussed in MOCpages... you won't make me forfeit with all those psychological attemtps to scare me...

Excelent design dude.

Oh my gosh that is just so darn amazing!!! I wish I had the pieces to build something like that. I know this is insulting to ask, but could you please please please please please please please comment on this???http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/169772

Mmmmm low budget madness.

That's OVERKILL!!!! Don't you feel the least bit of compassion for your poor opponent? No? Good:) I love it...

Okay, I can honestly say I have no blessed idea how this got past me. Like I'm sure everyone has already said, fantastic work! Lovely greebs and wonderful commentary as icing on the already delicious cake. Your photography is stunning as well.

Wow this is so brilliant! KeEp BuIlDiNg!1!1

Amazing, the design its beautiful! Great ship! The color scheme and the pods are awesome! Congratulations! Great Moc! Oh, and the crew looks very professional! Are they aces?

I'm in love...

Oh, I remember the comic! But, I haven't chatted with you offline like all the rest, so...

The first pic has an "Avatar" feel to it. Here come the lawsuits. After spending $500 million, James Cameron is gonna need all the cash he can get his hands on. The build is stunning, as always, but "Kelso" translates to "Epic" in Lego language - start working on that Halo SHIP!

i like the missile and drop pods but that Gatling gun is by far the coolest part Merry Crhistmocs

I really like how you actually tried, despite your obvious advantage. And, those jokes.... were uhmm ya. And you say you don't know me well? You starred in one of my sig fig comics, along side Phippo. And he was courteous enough to notice. Jeez now my feelings are hurt. (at least you didn't call me Jake Fronchezz... like Christof did.)

Very nice, can't wait to see James, also thanks.

SWEET!!! I'll take a dozen, my troopers need some new transport. Seriously Awesome Stuff. [MAY THE BRICKS BE WITH YOU]

Another winner Mark!

Pretty cool. It kinda looked like you based it off a Cheyenne Dropship from Aliens but otherwise a great build. Go Whup Theo-Snore's butt! oh btw could you check out my Creation? http://mocpages.com/moc.php/163210

I didn’t think I would like this from the first picture, but once I saw it from a few other directions I realized how great it was. For anyone else it would be amazing, but it is just par for you. Anyway, here are some specific comments on the parts that stood out to me. The tail is brilliant. It makes me think of the harrier jump jet or the flying robots from Terminator. The drop pods are nothing short of perfection. I was actually thinking about building something like this, but now I don’t see the point. The engines are really the only part I don’t like. They don’t seem to fit with the rest of the crafts slick, military design. Overall though I would give it a 10/10 for anyone else and a 8.5/10 for you.

VERY COOL!! Could you check this out: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/169985

PHIPSON FOR PRESIDENT

This is epic! But the opening pic really steals the show. That's the best MOC photoshop job I've seen in a while.

I heard this masochistic Theodore kid first challenged Babe Ruth to a home run derby, but found out the Babe was dead. Then he challenged Muhammad Ali to a boxing match, but Ali had to decline because he's nearly paralyzed from Parkinson's disease. So he settled for challenging Mark Kelso to a MOC-off.

That is a really nice model. I mean its excellent what else can you say.

wow.....:0

ace 100000/5

As always big in details, very nice peace of art Mark!

Awwwww, you're crushing his head! A poor defenseless TFOL. How could you? Oh, wait, your Kelso, I forgot. Well, then crush on my friend, crush on.

nice.

WOW ! This is by far the best MOC I've seen in ages - I absolutely love the idea, the design, the look, the colour scheme, and the attention to detail is amazing ! This is plastic brick perfection ! I want one. Can I have it for christmas (pretty please!) ?

Haha nice! The design is awesome and the subliminal, or on the other extreme super-liminal humor was great!

Nice school bus you got there Kellsy! It's got every thing you need you can even eject the kids in a covient excape pod if you needed to. Do think that some time you could upload some pics of your lego room and also I am sorting out my collection and wanted to know what box's you use.

great job i like the design

Actually, I've come close a few times to posting my work space. So why not...give me a few days and I'll get some shots and throw together a quick page of my storage and sorting area.

WOW... You're kidding right? James Just got severely owned. James you need to hit at your own height man.

That is absolutely a great build you have there. I think that James could beat ya though... -Dylan

DXXN YOU, Kelso! You're stealing all my press! :D

fantastic work as usual.

Well, you see, they're very small...but then Dennis doesn't need anything bigger. (Sorry, Price. Couldn't pass THAT one up.)

Major fail... the pods don't seem to have an entry point. Anyway, since I am a good guy, I wanted to leave you a warning: I got 4 mercenaries on your tail. Chris can't save you now...

Geez, this nearly rivled Phippy on the scale of non-g-ratedness.

Those mint-green accents make me want to squeal with pleasure... No, not really, but they are my favorite element of this - here - build...

hmm very interesting design you have here. It looks like a mix between one of those dropships from Aliens and a Pelican from Halo. The drop pods are a great add-on to it. Oh and just an FYI, Heath Flor is in "Project X" with us now.-George

I simply love this ship. It's very imposing.

Props to the challenger for having balls of brass to throw down the gauntlet on Kelso, even though I have a feeling they're going to get shattered.

Watch out for those jet intakes kids -- they really suck. Great MOC, my man. Great use of Jar-Jar, who is otherwise known as "The most annoying fictional character in history."

69?- lol awesome

WOW! Looks great, very nicely detailed, but looks too blocky to me, not really your style... Anyway, are those two pieces modified near the Bee you tee tee? The 'traffic light pieces' I call them. No clue why. The gray things.. Anyway. Those Secret Elite Military Enemy Neutralizers look awesome! And sound, well, ... um ... Hey, look at that MOC over there!

Ha... S.E.M.E.N... I get it.

Fantastico! Maybe I should challenge an adult to a MOC-off sometime... ~Miller

Masterfully done Mr. Kelso. I'm unfamiliar with you masochistic opponent, however, I hope his Artillery Suppression System is ready for the Rapid Entry Armored Military Infiltrating aNnoyance Gadget you're handing him! Great shape and as always, greebled like an arteest!~H

WOW! This really looks like we could see this in the next 10 years or so. Great job! Masked Builder

Oh how i love innuendo. but shouldn't the neutralization pods be white? hehehe...

Too bad lego doesn't make sets like this... I sure could use one of those Jar Jars.

Secret Elite Military Enemy Neutralizers. Now that's awesome.

Lol, S.E.M.E.N. nice.

Hmmm... tough post... anyway, don't make that kind of comments about the judges, they might give the vote to my ship, even if it isn't something of a deal :D Good post, and it looks wonderful, good luck... to me XD

Y'know, it's very difficult to read when you're laughing your butt off! My condolences also to the wife and family, but they're probably better off without him anyway.

haha finally a real Kelso design :-D And this is an awesome one ! I really love those "Doctor Who" capsules on the sides and the overall design. I'm not fool enough to ask you a MOC-off... for the moment. 2010 will be the year of my big plan of domination of the Lego world mwahaha

Great drop pods, and the whole ship is very good!

Top of the line, as usual. I'm a suc*er for realistic mocs, especially when they are intertwined with smack. I love the drop pods, tail, and Phipson jabs. Nice job!

Nice dropship! I like the shot with Jar-Jar.

Very nice ship, great engines too !!!

Very nice ship, great engines too !!!

Ocean, Kelso was corrupt LONG before Jones and I got a hold of him. I refuse to take responsibility for THAT car wreck! hahaha. I'm not going to comment on the build itself of course, we'll wait till your opponent trounces you. Let's talk about the commentary though shall we? First, naming it after me... Aww, you shouldn't have. I got a warm fuzzy there. As far as a "serious" post goes... now you know the pain of trying to post something without jokes! No matter how hard you try to keep em out, one or two always manage to slip in. Also, I'll have you know, my mom is NOT cheap... she just sees you as a charity case. And finally, it's not the banana and the chicken you have to worry about, it's the watermellon and the aardvark. I'll be back for the vote after your opponent posts. ~ Chris.

Thankyou for making me laugh Mark, you really are possessed of witty humor. I can't agree with you more, why be serious when you can be so funny? By the way, the ship is beautiful, looks very 'realistic' in a way, I like these when they are not overly smooth in shape. Considering how many fridges this ship is carrying, that un-designated area you had in one of the frames may well just be an overly elaborate oven... Cheers dude...

Great nice and simple (i mean not too much fantasy but believable) Ship with lots of details. Can't say more about, nothing negative on it.

Wow. You are SO going to win. It makes me laugh to think that someone would actually challenge you to a MOCoff!

Kilsoanator as stricks again. -Matt Shack

Third try to comment on this... Fly by Night Industry - you listen to Rush ? That would explain a lot of thing ! :-)

Oh nice. I like it. I love the tail at the back.

Oooh cool stuff :D I dig the details on this a lot, excellent job!

O.D.S.T.s move aside, here come the S.E.M.E.N. ... Oh wait... I see what you did there... Anyway, nice build and I agree with your general modifying parts rule, that's about the way I do it. Thanks for the laughs and for breaking up the MOC monotony.

I remember how innocent you used to be Mark, before Phipson and Jones corrupted you...nice ship, love the engine pods. The commentry wins :D

Coolest dropship I have seen in a long time Mr. Kelso. Best part you did is the rear engines- how they are hoisted above the ship- delivers a purposeful pose to the craft. Awesome job!

I'm always in awe of your builds Mark. When Chris told me that you are an artist by trade it clicked, and made perfect sense why your builds are so detail oriented. This one is an excellent example of how detailed you are with your builds. I like how Jarr-Jarr is going to annoy the enemy to death....I know the feeling! My kids are in the "Love Jarr-Jarr" stage and I can't wait for the "Hate Jarr-Jarr" stage. LMAO

Very Impressive Mark, I love the drop pod designs and the overall presentation

uhm? CP? Coitus Position?

Great ! I particularly like the tail and the drop pods, and the fact that it has been designed not to be nice but to be used...

COOLEST BUILD EVER i hope u win i really hope you win....how long did it take you to make this

Fantastic work Mark! But what else could we expect from a quality builder like you! You're well known for your unusual details and techniques on your MOCs; and this one is no exception, I just love it, besides; I'm so glad to see RORY alive, again, in your MOCs :D For the modified pieces; I don't see any problem in doing that, I mdified some pieces at some of my MOCs, there're some pieces LEGO need to produce, till then, we have to modify our pieces.. (any way don't tell any one that I do :0...) Keep on MOCing Mr. Kelso :p

Incredible! I hope Hollywood and Lego are listening to the shells crashing from the hot barrels of this baby!

IT is A.W.E.S.O.M.E

Very well accomplished challenge. A beauty!

Did you modifiy some parts?

And there I was, expecting something clean from you. Very nice ship, the first pic looked great. :)

Very impressive :-)

It's a brilliant work, I love every detail of this ship!

Hmmm...another metaphor to Phipson leaps to mind. Anyway, great build, the design and the colors are perfect.

Dis is awesomely awesome!!! Please!! NOT JAR-JAR!!!! Wessa gonna be best friends! NOOOOO!!!!

This is really great and very aesthetic! The drop-pods are overwhelming, like the whole ship! - Kevin

Overkill! Kelso does NOT take prisonners!

oh, then it's ok, they're just two small parts anyway

Very nice work kelso. I like it.

Ah, very good...you did indeed see two modified pieces! I'm not big on it, but every now and then I'll alter a piece. My only personal rule on that is I have to be able to use it as much as I might with any regular part in my collection. I don't get bent out of shape if someone modifies a part or a fig, as long as they don't get carried away, and I keep a small drawer for modified parts in my storage area.

I thought Secret Elite Military Enemy Neutralizers we shot out, not dropped... XD

Nicely done, I like how the drop pods are attached and that co.kpit looks great, very detailed and OH! holy @#§ ! did I just see two cutted beams near the tail ? I thought you didn't do brick modifying... :( Anyway, awesome build, great job

First, the MOC: Great build on the ship, looks incredible, the shape, especially the front, love it. Second, the commentary: HAHAHILARITY! sMOCer? Coined a great new term. Chris, a chicken, and a banana? Priceless, disturbing, but priceless. Third: Well, I have no third, adios.

It is literally perfect! Wow!

Sweeeeet... Execellent design and awesome photo editing!

Once again, another amazing ship from Kelso. ~ J

LOL putting Jar Jar in there is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on MOCpages

This is awesome!
