So I finally got around to taking a picture of my first "made for me" custom knife.
My Custom Crusader Forge Oberland 2.
I requested a 6 inch blade with the Phantom finish, deeper tri-groove choil, the tumb groove, and the jimping on the back, I had Maciej base the blade handle on one I saw come across TAD Gears site b...ut requested to keep the back part clear as per the original Oberland design.
This baby is one hefty cutting machine.
After the dust settles it will be cockroaches and this knife... Beats the shit out of a Strider any day ;)
Early Halloween spooks, a relatively simple moc with (mostly) well lit photos!
Able to engulf a minifigure whole!
This is my 5 year old daughter on her strider bmx bike. She races at seatac bmx, just outside of Seattle WA. Addie has a prosthetic leg but it doesn't stop her from racing or riding her skateboard, cool huh? She's riding her 2 wheeler and will graduate to a larger racing bike later in the season.
- and yes those are remnant hair strands blowing off of an apparently freshly-styled barnet and a half highlighted as he strides purposefully into a spring headwind, oblivious to how great he looks sideways.
Perhaps his sister? should have said something.
( Did he offend his rug editor perchance ? - ed )

This is alive and on water. Most striders run away but some seem to rely on staying very still to avoid detection, even when there's a massive great camera and flash right in their face.
Water striders generally feed on arthropods (such as this insect) that fall on to the water's surface and get stranded. They frequently feed on mosquito larvae.

Spring has come to my pond, with hundreds of tiny water striders, plus quite a lot of mating damselflies. This one was very small, its body length was perhaps a couple of mm.
The smaller Strider here is based on someone else's work (their original is on the far left) I don't remember their name unfortunately, but it was real fun to figure out how it all went together. The Big red boy on the right is my own. Two turreted weapons– large gatling gun on the left (the barrels actually rotate!!!) and a gauss cannon on the right– which lower and fold into the back of the Strider. I'm going to order the parts for the two of these from LEGO and pit them against each other in an MFØ battle.
