WWII Contest Movie (Partially Done) and Updates

nobody@flickr.com (TrooperGuy) — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 13:37:30 -0700

TrooperGuy posted a video:

For those of you wondering why I never entered the contest, it was the night before and I didn't have any voice acting/captioning done, so I just decided to finish it some other time. I also got kinda burned out on Lego from a couple of days of filming, so I took a 2 month long break from building. I hope I'm not going into a dark age, but I've hardly had any motivation to build lately :(
So that's where I've been for a while. Let me know if you guys would like to see this thing finished. I still have the sets so I can still film, so please leave some comments and suggestions.

And there actually is a plot in all this, I just don't have any lines done so you can't tell what's going on :P

The flicker will be fixed when I make the actual movie, this was just a little test I wanted you guys to see.

For the WWII contest. I've done some more experimenting, so I'll hopefully have a decent entry by the deadline.

Stop Motion Test

Just to test my software, which is really pretty bad (Which explains why the pictures are compressed). I'd like to try to make a BrickFilm if I get the time.

A Grave Announcement of Faction Action

nobody@flickr.com (TrooperGuy) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:59:14 -0800

TrooperGuy posted a photo:

Speaking from an undisclosed location on issues pressuring the Slovenian Congress, President Karock made a grave announcement for New Slovenia on the ongoing world conflict.
"Our nation has remained neutral for to long. The effects of this war on New Slovenia are to great for us to remain without a side. Today, forces of our mighty country are mobilizing and preparing for conflict. Let the world know that the Republic of New Slovenia will not be hazed or shoved, but will be a force to be reckoned with."

So yeah, New Slovenia :D
Any of you guys have any faction groups to recommend?

I didn't feel like reusing the one size fits all joke, so I made a new one :3 I'm not a fan of this one, I might redo it.

(Also, Keith and Julie, if you'd like the shot without the text, I have that too)
Mannequin idea inspired by Lego Junkie, and shopping cart idea from Michael Jasper.

A Suicide Assignment

TrooperGuy posted a photo:

Johnson warned me it was a suicide mission, but I didn't believe him. I should've. It was supposed to be a stealth assignment, sneaking into the compound and rigging the charges. They told us in the briefing that taking out this outpost could turn around the war. But all that went out the window after the first barrage of LTA rockets took out four of our six choppers. They had to have had someone on the inside. And if I ever get out of this mess, I intend to find out who.

One of my blacklight contest entries. It looked pretty sweet under a blacklight, but I decided to upload the one without the effects.

I got bored the other day and decided to try my hand at a sig-fig clone, after seeing some of the neat ones that have been going around. Rocket launcher is inspired by Deej's Tac-L. Also, sorry for posting almost nothing lately, and this bad photo. I've been really busy with school, and, thanks to daylight savings time, by the time I get home I have pretty much no natural light to take a shot. So yeah :3

If you are having any problems, or want some more info, FM me. Also, I have christened the whitish color as MILK :D

If you are a younger modder, please get a parent to help you with this process. Bleach is poisonous, and will stain clothing!

I finally dug up my dad's old blacklight. I've been using a really crappy bulb for testing, but now I've finally got a decent bulb, even if it is 30 years old :P

Type 5 "Splitshell" Mech

My first mecha :3

Inspired by Slicersuit. Check out his photostream if you haven't yet, he has some pretty cool stuff. I may post a functions video later, just because it's my first mecha-hardsuit thing. It splits in half so you can mess with some of the inside stuff pretty easily, so I just called it the "Splitsuit."
