So yup, it's been one year here. One long, fun, amazing year. I didn't build any fancy thing with sigfigs (I wanted to though!) just a review of all I've built.
Sit back and enjoy!
About this creation
My first MOC, Black Falcon Prison Tower, is still one of my favorites, it's also my most underrated in my opinion.

Then I built some rather unimpressive stuff, that I won't waste this space with.
The next notable thing was Elmtarid City Gate. For the longest of times, this was my most popular. It had some good details, but besides my first try at SNOT, had no interesting techniques. Also the photography was shabby.

After some more blah stuff, we get to my first foray into scifi. Space station docking bay. Really not bad at all, lot's of SNOT and details. Bad photos.

Shortly after that, I competed in the 2011 MOCathalon.
It was really a blast, my team didn't do too well, but one member never even showed up to enter anything, so yeah. But anyways, it was my first time participating in a large event, and helped me improve bunches.
I then made a few smaller builds, mostly for contests. They were greatly improved from what I had built before.
--
About this time I started on my largest project yet...
Castle Dalradae, Something I'd been planning for a long time. It was built on nine 32x32 baseplates and featured a full interior. Though what people mention in the comments the most are the goats, go figure.

Almost directly after the castle was dismantled, my sister and I started the fantasy CYOA series "The Quest for Dalriada." It's still under way, and the new episode should be up soon!

Some more small stuff. I started working with photography on these MOCs as much as I was with bricks.
Then came the MOColympics. Though I was discharged rather early, I had a ton of fun, and gained my two most popular MOCS.


One of my latest and favorite MOCs, I just found out this got an honorable mention in the Micro Castle contest.

And now I'd like to thank a few folks for helping me improve, and for being good friends. There is no way I'll be able to thank everyone, so don't feel heartbroken if your not here.
First and foremost, my sister Annie. Her and my other sister, as well as my Mom and Dad are very helpful to bounce ideas off of.
Blake Baer.
I've only recently made acquaintance with Blake during the MOColympics, but have admired his MOCs since even before I got on MOCpages.
Flare
Ben really made me feel welcome in the community.
Hrvoje Hadzet.
You really need to tell this ignorant American how to pronounce you name sometime!
Adam L
Super cool fellow!
Chris Stone
He lives in my town. And I've never met him. Why? I honestly don't know.
George G
He's British. British people are awesome. Period.
Thoy Bradley
Amazing builder and person!
Max Pointner
Had many a long conversation on soundtracks with this chap.
Grant W
Just one super bloke.
Bob the Almighty
Got to know him well when he was on my MOCathalon team.
Ian Spaceck
Such a friendly guy.
LWC Guy
He's SO talented!
Jagy
You goofball, you.
Josh B
He doesn't like Greenday :o
AA (noname)
He...he...he quit Legos... :(
He used to give me giant comments that have helped me a great deal.
Ok, that's all I can think of right now. I may add some more later.
So I think I've improved greatly in one year, what about you?
What's your favorite creation of mine?
If you want to get all mushy and tell me why you love me, and why you'd die for me, go ahead! ;)

It's not a creation, just go to the bottom of the page. Congratulations man, thanks for adding me on that list! Oh and how did you remember what day you joined MOcpages? Because I joined around this time last year too, maybe a little later.
Thanks Ian! I responded to your post in that group. And I just looked at when I added my first MOC, and then subtracted a few days, cause I know I didn't upload on the first day I got an acount. |

Wait, what!!! I always thought you were here for at least three years. Dude! Thanks for mentioning. Once I get bored, I'll search thorugh the MS Word's simbols and write my name. Accent could be a problem, though. I can't believe I missed that Falcon tower. That's something I'll have to check out! It shows you've had a lot of talent (and bricks) a year ago. And, since then, you've had only improvements. MY favorite MOC of yours is probably CubeDude Thor. I've planned to build one few months ago, but never did. You've done an awesome job with it. It's been a long time since then, huh. I'm looking forward to your future MOCs. :) |
