Trying some different things in this one. Thanks again!

That was an awesome episode!

Thanks, this was a fun one! I kept that little micro city scape, although no idea if I'll use it again. None of those photos were doctored, just some selective cropping, believe it or not. You're a fast reader!

Wow that was quite a story! We are certainly spoiled with all your terrific builds, details, photography... etc! :)

I had a lot of fun with this one. I had the pond set up on my back porch all afternoon, and kept taking pics as the sun progressed overhead and then set. Glad you enjoyed it!

So many great bits in this episode! The water scenes are perfectly done; often times, LEGO looks out of scale with real-life nature, but you definitely have a knack for blending the two together! And the bit of backstory with Levopolis! Wonderful forced-perspective work!

Kind of an artsy episode. Reminiscent of the episode where they attack the Resurrection Ship, Lee ejects and imagines himself floating...Anyway...Thanks for the comment!

Impressive! The water is magnificent, and fits surprisingly well with LEGO. I must say though, that is the ugliest catfish I've ever seen!

The CIC? Thanks again! http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/235823

Love the Mission Control !>.....very cool stuff !.....

Thanks--Glad you liked it!

Beautiful MOC man.....

Glad you enjoyed the show! I didn't even have to doctor those city shots, just a little cropping. Thanks again!

You continue to amaze! Your forced perspective of the city in the background is truly convincing. And as always, the level of detail in every shot is incredible. Well done!

Don't sell yourself short, Chief! You've got a lot of great stuff, and your subtle sense of humor really adds a lot! Enjoy your victory! And thanks again for the comment.

Thanks dude. I have no idea how I won my category (other than I must give better BJs than Thorsten, at least as far as Chris is concerned. And this despite Thorsten's vast experience! I must be a natural.) However, I can sure see how you won your category. I'll try not to be a stranger, but I'm burrying myself in the next mind numbing section of code in my game. Later.

That was a creepy shot, dark and mysterious... Thanks again, Ced!

Very interesting turn here...Great details on the new set, the use of so much black in the last pics gives me a slight unnerved feeling, well done.

A little history on the characters adds some depth, I think, and I may do a few others. Thanks again!

getting into the past is something i often tought of, the main vilain is a great choice! i also love your cyclondesign!!! i d love to see them fight hand to hand with humans! awesome scenes el barto!!!

Gonna be mixin' things up a bit...

*jaw-drop* Colonial Cylons!?!?!? Oh man...this stuff is amazing, Barto!

So say we all. Lee.

Thought I sent a reminder when I left you a comment about the nominations. Anyway, might as well vote for yourself, too, right? Thanks for the comment, I was quite pleased with how that skyline turned out, and I've kept the components, just in case I need to revisit it, maybe from a different angle. Good luck in the MOCies, Chief!

The skyline is really nice, Bart. It's a popular category of builds, but I don't remember one as convincing and eye catching. Also like the Cylon probing station. But what gives with the no heads up? Do I have to eventually catch these on Netflix? (I wasn't going to vote in the MOCies cause I don't have time to review the nominees, but now I feel obliged to drop Chris a quickie about this series, whatever category it's in).

Thanks for taking the time to read them all! It's become quite a collection, and I'm in the process of coming up with another. Glad you enjoyed them!

I just finished reading all of your episodes and think they're amazing! love em all! Cant wait to see more

Oh, and quite a surprise for Parrington, I bet! Thanks, Chief!

The last 3 pics were a surprise. Very nice story setup!

Thanks, Stefan! Always looking to try out new things.

There are some really fantastic pictures in this part. Great work my friend!

Glad you could make it, with all your Brick World adventures! Seeing as I couldn't go, I had to keep myself occupied...There are a couple others you may have missed in the meantime, if you get a chance, wouldn't want you to get lost. Thanks again, Boss!

The story's going in a great direction but MAN do I have to commend you on those sets! The city set with the forced perspective! NICE! And then using the rock set in real water, that was a great touch! Great work man and keep em coming! ~ Chris.

Thanks, Stuart!

Woo-hoo, I like the way this is going! Really nice reveal of the interrogation chamber at the end... great use of water too, really imaginative.

Just trying some different things. Thanks, Dude!

Real water alright, in fact, the set is still drying. Thanks again, Peter!

Nice, I like the combo of real water and lego, long time since I last did that. Must do that again sometime.

Wow this was a good one! I really liked how you put in the city backdrop in your opening scenes to the floating guy on the water. Im guessing that was real water. And to top it off really liked how you had the Cylons in the camber at the end of Part 3. Very Impressive El Barto!!!

Okay, this is my third reply, I think it's a word in your comment. Anyway, BSG was a show in the late 70s created to meet the demand after Star Wars. Then in 2003 Sci Fi Channel made a Reimagined Series, with a lot more talent behind it. You should watch the miniseries, I bet you'll dig it. Thanks again for the thoughtful comment!

Tried to make those Cylons scary. Thanks again, Cody!

Again, your set (the microscale) and lighting techniques all sucked me in, even though I don't know what Battlestar Galactica is. Another great presentation.

Awesome work, I love that twist at the end! You really have some great detail in the builds!

Thanks, Jmmy!

awsome dude i love the ammount of detail you put in everyone of your invironments. just awsome dude. keep it up!

Thanks, Aidan! All those shots were taken without any photoshop trickery. All done on my dining room table. We have a big picture window with a honeycomb shade that acts like a diffuser. The water shots were on my porch over the course of an entire afternoon and into the evening. Glad you enjoyed the show!

I guess your reaction is the goal in all this, right?! Thanks for the encouragement, Dude! That Levo is a complex guy. I'm sure we'll be digging around in his head for some more info soon enough. Thanks again!

Fantastic, the shots were all outstanding, and the micro build was amazing, I literally didn't even notice until I read some of the comments.

Every new episode from you leaves me smiling ear to ear! As if this Levopolis guy wasn´t mysterious enough. Now you come up with his messed up childhood and uncertain future! Hats off for that and the builds, set up, those microscale backgrounds and the real water. I like your way of storytelling already more than Leda´s! (And she is quite good) ~Cheers, Marc

Thank you my friend for the kind words! Well, as far as organizing, I kind of do all of those things you mentioned at the same time. I've written scenes before building the sets. Sometimes I take the pictures with all the characters, and the dialogue comes to mind later, almost like an improv. But I take a ton of pictures trying to anticipate not only the current episode, but future ones because it can be a pain to haul out a set like the CIC or hangar deck, and rig the lighting and all that. But a lot of the time I'm winging it, for example the Black Cylon saying "So say we all." In my mind, that's kind of a huge plot twist. They want to know about the owl, what was all that about? I have no idea! Thanks again, Chief!

Good, Better, Barto. Though I still haven't watched any of the new BSG tv series, I'm not sure anymore if I still want to. What if those episodes aren't as good as yours? Needless to mention the beautiful microscale background, other did it before me and they're right. When you plan a new episode, do you write it down first, I mean the dialogue and the settings and all, like in a movie script? Or do you start shooting with just a concept in mind?

Much appreciated!

Nice job I thought the back ground with the micro scale buildings was a nice touch. Any way good job the story is great.

Thanks, Justin!

Really good camera angles and lighting. Awesome job!

Thanks, Riccardo! It can't be all spaceships, right?

A little change of pace. Thanks!

Nope, you're not a Cylon, not yet anyway...Thanks, Boss!

Thanks!

Any ideas? I don't think he'll be too psyched to see those toasters. Thanks again, Chief!

But where it's going? Who knows? Thanks, Dude!

Thanks for watching!

Trying some new things here, thanks CMDR!

Thanks!

FANTASTIC... the story when he was child is great, the little lake with real water in brilliant...congatulation my friend as always great job

Wow. I really enjoyed that - so well built and written. Keep 'em coming!

hahaha, as soon as I saw that pool of water Parrington Levopols was in, I thought, Frak, I'm a cylon! Glad it went that way. Loved that shot with the micro city in the background, this ep was like Caprica meets BSG meets Enders Game or something. And some nice prose to boot! Love the mugger getting his cumuppence too. Way to go Barto!

Excellent..!

WOOOOOW your city dude !!!!! He's gonna wake up for a very bad dream between those two toaster..... what's gonna happen ?????

The city in the flash-back turned out good. The story is coming along well.

Another excellent installment in your ever going saga. I so look forward to these when you post them. Excellent excellent work.

Another brilliant episode with very clever scaling, editing and story line as per usual. Keep up the exceptional series.

I must concur, the forced perspective on the city scape was the best part of this episode.

We'll have to see what he says... I was pretty psyched with that city, too. Thanks again, man!

That city scape turned out fantastic! Who knew Parrington was such a bad-axe?! He always struck me as more of a lover than a fighter...=P ~H

Thanks! I modeled this episode after Resurrection Ship Part II, the one where Apollo ejects from the Blackbird.

Ooooo... black Centurions! I love the scene with Parrington in the water, the blending between the background and the LEGO plants was well done.

Just wanted to give credit to this Dude for the idea behind the cityscape scene. http://www.flickr.com/photos/yoderism/5819648235/ Thanks!
