Can’t use this one for the #MacroMondays theme of #string because, although it is plenty small enough to fit inside the MM parameters, it mysteriously meandered off before I could measure it. If perchance it should show up again, I’ll scotch tape it down until I can find the ruler to prove it.

….. (update) Btw, I found the string, some scotch tape, and the ruler!! However…It has taken on a new configuration and rather than trying to coax it into the original, I’ll just treat it like it wants to be now! How enlightened am I!!
I owe a big thank you to 'filminthefridge' for posting a fantastic string quilt, and then posting a fabulous tutorial on her blog- she is my quilt idol, seriously the girl makes some killer quilts :)

these are my first 4- and I am only using my scraps for this quilt!!!
’ve waited nine years for this moment…
For reasons unknown to us, Nex and Stringer would never see another release after 2012, despite two full waves of sets they could easily have been integrated into. With Bulk growing increasingly orange and Stringer’s lack of unified color scheme, my belief is that Nex and Stringer underperformed in BREAKOUT as the two cheaper sets of the second wave and were cut from the lineup for the remainder of Hero Factory’s run.
Until today…
With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Stringer. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with a Hero Sword. He also has a scanning apparatus affixed to his arm for performing sonar sweeps and picking up thermal signatures. I went for a more hefty build as Stringer deserves the extra muscle. I have also tried to combine his blue BREAKOUT color scheme and his orange 1.0 colors to create something that honors both.
I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets:
- Melee weapons
- Silver or Gunmetal secondary color
- Transparent armor piece
- Hero Core Clamp and Visor
This build uses a shoulder configuration first used by Beardly_Designs. I don’t think anything else draws inspiration from other MOCs but, if you feel it does, let me know!
Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Stringer the form he deserves.

My blocks are done! I laid them out tonight and I love it! I'm going to sew them together tonight then work on the borders. What do you think?
One of two similar bridges over the M56 Motorway at Sutton Weaver Cheshire, this one carries the Crewe to Runcorn & Liverpool section of the WCML, another of this design carries the Halton Curve route connecting Frodsham with Runcorn and is situated about a quarter of a mile further on past the road bridge in the picture. Both date from 1981 on completion of the motorway (Manchester to North Wales & the Wirral).
