Lego swimming pool MOC+Bonus stuff at the end!

Here's my Lego swimming pool MOC that I've had with me for quite some time, even before I went to Australia! Here are some pictures of it.

Were you wondering where has Lifeguard guy gone to? Well, he's sitting on his lifeguard chair!

Another view of the swimming pool

This MOC all started with a swimming pool concept that I had in mind: Build a swimming pool where I can pose minifigures in the swimming pool without the removal of any minifig parts. I searched on youtube and google on these type of MOCs, but unfortunately I only saw 1 or 2 that were able to pose minifigs in the 'water' without removing anything from the minifigures themselves. So, I decided to build a Lego swimming pool of my own! At first, I actually didn't have enough transparent bricks to fill the water parts and leave a few holes for posing minfigures, but over time, my sister gave me her Lego bricks and I got enough transparent bricks from her and my own collection that I was able to build it. :D When the pool 'water' was done, it basically only went through minor changes, such as the width and length of the pool, the depth etc. I left it the way it is in the pictures for weeks before I finally decided to post it here. :P Oh yes, here are some bonus pics!

Lighting near the outside enterance to City Square Mall(not at the carpark area)

Some kind of train with lights I think

These were taken at City Square Mall, but actually there were lots of lit up decorations there. Unfortunately, when I was there, my phone was already near the brink of shutting down due to low battery. Before it shut down, I managed to take these two pictures. Don't they look beautiful? :D By the way, the bonus is not over yet!

Lights on! I can see some faint colouration of the car in the picture, can you?

As hinted in Soft toys talking 30, I bought the Lego power functions kit! It comes with a few axles, some gears, the power box, M motor, lights and the switch! Also, this is the mining car that was mentioned in soft toys talking 30. It can actually move on its own if I switched on the extra power functions switch, but in the picture I did not allow it to move because I am taking a picture! Why would I need it to move when you can't tell if something is moving in a picture unless it is blurry? More on the mining car in the car's own post! This is about the swimming pool not the mining car! :P That's it for now!

Lego space station and spaceship MOC

In the space world of Lego Island... Technology advances fast and a huge space station, acts as a 'house' in space and is able to allow minifigures to assemble spaceships, ready to take people to any part of space, allowing space research to advance...
Here are 5 pictures of my spaceship MOC!

Space Miner is in this ship, ready for a mining mission in space!

You would probably realise by now that this space ship does NOT come with the 2 booster rockets and the fuel tank. Why? Here are some reasons.
In reality: I was unable to make those parts of the spaceship basically. :P I did try to make it but I just didn't have the right pieces and the fuel tank and rocket part turned out so horribly that I decided to discard that idea and just make up a story on why this did not have those parts. :P
Story: This spaceship was built in space and did not have to fight against gravity as there is little gravity in space.
Now here is the purpose of the space ship in this space story.
Purpose of spaceship: This spaceship was built for the sole purpose of transportation of people from one place to another in space, and it can also act as an 'outpost' for people to stay in for a short time, though conditions that are more similar to earth would be much more found in the space station. This can be use to transport defense robots, space miners(like the space miner shown in the pictures), space scientists/researchers and perhaps space telescopes or probes. The space shuttle can have its fuel tank refueled by going back to the space station's fuel station.
Here are 4 pictures of the space station.

Space station without spaceship

Space station with spaceship

Obviously if you're going to imagine this really in space it probably wouldn't be so straight because it will be floating about in space. Also, I decided not to cover a part of the space station for play-ability's sake. Here's a story for the space station!
Story: This space station was built with lots of care, sending space shuttles into space several times to put the different parts together, forming this space station. With the technology advances, the astronaughts were able to have climate control technology in there, including artificial gravity. This made it almost like working in space with earth conditions, which also means the minifigures' bodies do not need to spend too much time adapting. However, they can also turn off the artificial gravity and float to the air lock and wear space suits if they need to explore beyond working in the station. It also works as a 'stop' for space shuttles to land and pick up/drop off minifigures or refuel its tank. The beds are still placed in the upright position and nailed to the wall and when people in the station sleep, they turn off the artificial gravity and sleep like how they would in any other spacecraft. This station can also allow people to construct space shuttles/space ships in space so that there would be no need for it to be launched off earth and can allow deeper exploration in the wide world of Space: The Final Frontier...
I actually first started building this after playing in the space world on minifigures online and thought, Why don't I build a space station? This might be ironic, although I wanted to build a space station first, I ended up building the shuttle first. I built and built the 'station' but somehow, I built a space ship-like thing(in fact I didn't really know what I was truly building). Later, I went to Google and searched for pictures of space shuttles and space ships for me to make and came up with the current design you see now. I am quite happy about it but maybe it would be more of a space ship than a shuttle simply because the middle part of this 'space shuttle' doesn't open up like your current space shuttle. Later on, after playing with my space ship for some time, I decided to build an actual space station. :P That's it for now and I hope you like these MOCs!

Lego Bionicle "2015" Toa self MOC: Toa Zarflame, Toa of fire and sonics

Here's my Lego Bionicle "2015" Toa MOC, Toa Zarflame, Toa of fire!(2015 by build style, 2001-2010 backstory, and he also has the geared arm function thingy!!! :D) Here are 4 pictures of him.

Zarflame on his vehicle 

Zarflame and his vehicle

front view

back view

Here's his profile.
Name: Zarflame
Elements: A born hybrid of flame and sonics
Weapons: (Matoran) small blades (Toa) Twin blades, one side with a small shield(small compared to the rest of his body)
Matoran skills: Like most Ta-Matoran, he was a skilled mask maker before becoming a Toa
Personality: He is somewhat hot-headed,occasionally shy and a bit timid
Kanohi: Great Hamatu(mask of shielding, illusions and telekinesis)
Background: 
Matoran Life:
Zarflame was a Matoran born to have the elements of fire and sonics. Despite this, he picked up more of a Ta-matoran's skills, and even though Matoran of sonics have a sense of hearing that is too sensitive, Zarflame's was sensitive, but it wasn't too sensitive that sounds too near him could kill him. He made Kanoka disks, masks and the disk launchers. Soon, he started up a business selling a variety of disks, masks, and disk launchers, and all sold well. He also made a mask for himself, as he didn't like his current one, which was just the Kanohi Hau, the mask of shielding. He wanted more than just shielding, and in fact, also wanted to have the power of telekinesis and making illusions. So, he decided to use the combinations of the disks used for each of the powers and made it into a mask for himself.  A few months later, He was selected to be a Toa, and he brought the Toa stone to a place to activate it, changing him into a Toa.
Toa Life:
Zarflame never really tried to fulfill his destiny by sacrificing his Toa powers as he really wanted to be a Toa and had no plans of turning into a Turaga. Despite this, he still does his job of keeping the Matoran safe. He requested to get a physical shield made by his best friend when he was a Matoran despite the fact that he already has a mask which can help him shield. Though his best friend found him a bit weird, he still built it for him. As a Toa, Zarflame protected Metru Nui until it fell to the hands of Teridax in the disguise of Turaga Dume. Then, he and the matoran pods went to the island of Mata Nui. He continued protecting the Matoran from there.
However, at one point, his toa team, called Toa Matri, comprising of only him, Shadotaka(Toa of light and dark/Toa of Twilight), a Toa of Ice and Lightning(which I have not named) and Aerow(Toa of air and magnetism) got captured by a Makuta(not Makuta Teridax) and were placed into 'Toa pods'. Before the Toa got stripped of their powers, Zarflame broke free from the pod and got the other 2 of his members too, and eventually defeated the Makuta that captured them. After that, they went back to protecting the matora on the Island of Mata Nui.
After the defeat of Teridax, he evacuated to Spherus Magna with his team and protected the matoran and agori there.

Children's day special: Pictures of Hero Factory(HF)'s run (2010-[2014?])

Yes I know it is 1 day late for Children's day special, but who said I must not do it late? Basically, what I have for children's day special is pictures depicting HF's run simply because HF took place in my childhood more than other Lego themes that I do like. Enjoy!
Note 1: Please do not think that I am trying to insult Hero Factory, I actually like it, but this is simply for humour and fun purposes only
Note 2: Those characters which I've only identified with colours means I can't and am too lazy to think up of a name for. 

2010

Warstone: What in the world are you, you shortie guy with a H on your chest?!
Breez: I'm Breez, and I will capture you because Hero Factory will replace Bionicle!
Warstone: WHAT?!

Breez: *Shoots boomerangs at Warstone*

Warstone: *Gets shot*

Breez: Yes!

2011(first wave)

White hero: Hold it right there you fire villain!

Fire villain: You think you can beat me? Not a chance!

White hero: *Shoots the fire villain*

Fire villain: *Gets shot down*

White hero: Victory is mine! Oh yeah!

2011(Second wave)

Silver male hero: Oh my goodness why am I upgraded with 3.0 stuff when I ain't even going anyway?(Hints to me only getting one set from this particular wave, which is Bulk 3.0)

2012

Red hero: You're not going anywhere just because it is breakout!

Blue and green villain: *Shoots the hero down* Mwahahahahahahaha!

Blue and green villain: *Flees from the prison*

*A few minutes later...*

Blue and green villain: Oh c'mon, won't you Hero Factory heroes ever rest?

Red hero: You're caught and cuffed, again!

Blue and green villain:  ||-_- *face palms*

2013

Silver female hero: Squash the brain parasites' red spikes!

(This is all I have to describe for 2013 really :P )

2014

White hero: Ok, WHY ON EARTH AM I SO FREAKING TINY???!!!!

White hero: OH MY BRICK...

Invasion from below(IFB) Villain: *Aims his weapon at white hero*

White hero: Uh oh...

IFB Villain: *Shoots fire at the white hero*

White hero: *Runs away while screaming*

*A few minutes later...*

White hero: Now this is my kind of mech! An upsized version of myself!

White hero: *Aims at IFB villain*

IFB villain: *Aims at White hero's mech*

White hero: *Controls his mech to pull trigger first and shoots IFB villain down*

White hero: Oh yes!

2015

Blue hero: *Does his prison guard duty*

Warstone: *Appears, kicks blue hero down and presses him down with his leg*

Warstone: Ha! Now it's our turn to replace you now! We, bionicles, RULE!

Shadotaka: Uh, dude, you do realise you are outdated in your armouring and limbs do you?

Warstone: Huh? *Accidentally releases his grip off blue hero*

Blue hero: *Secretly crawls away while they are chatting*

Shadatako: Wait, don't tell me you haven't seen the pictures yet but you know Bionicle's coming back?!

Warstone: Uh so why are you like a Hero factory guy with a bionicle mask or something like that?

Shadatako: I was made as a Bionicle MOC meant for following the style of bionicle 2015 so that's why I'm even like this in the first place and I look different for the old bionicle guys do you understand?

Warstone: Uhhh... not exactly because I do not understand why are we using that stupid successor of ours' system.

Shadatako: It's not just used by HF anymore, it's now used by chima ultrabuilds, superhero ultrabuilds... and simply not really just Hero factory specific anymore. In fact, it is called CCBS which stands for Character Creature Building System. Oh, by the way, I feel like my limbs won't crack anytime soon using this system!

Warstone: Uh... okay?

Warstone: *Turns his head around to see where is blue hero but he is gone. In shock, he almost falls down but Shadotaka catches him in time* WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO HIM I THOUGHT I HAD HIM UNDER MY FOOT WHILE TALKING TO YOU JUST NOW!

Shadotaka: You might have accidentally released your grip on him while chatting with me just now.

Warstone: WHAT?!

That's it for now and I hope you enjoyed these comics!
