The effort you put into this seems pretty extensive. I'm not sure if I'm getting enough classic "mecha" here with all the weaponized animals, but there is more than enough "doom" to go around, so I'm a happy man. Great work!. |

So, I don't mean to embarrass either of us, but I'm still trying to learn who is who in this community. When people keep referring to you as the man to beat, they are not actually joking? That begs the question: why don't they DQ you, say by making you a judge? |

Mr. Kaleta, this is an amazing build. I absolutely adore the midi-scale (?) buildings. Also, I would like to take this time to thank you for adding me to the list of your favorite builders. I'm not sure why you did it, but I am glad - Thanks for checking out my stuff in the first place, and please continue to do so in the future. Thanks, -Garrett. |

I know I sometimes have some unusual inspiration, but where from Microscale Mechadoom did you get Chinese Horoscope? I can only guess you got on the Godzilla vibe of giant creatures. Regardless, it was an inspired choice. The number of creatures allows for a variety of colours to play off against the neutral backdrop of the microcity and the shaping of each one is glorious - love the horse, tiger and boar especially. The erupting volcano is pure extravagance. You smashed this, great job. |

So impressive! Do you ever just do a half attempt? You know... just to give somebody else a slim chance? Nah mate, you deserve all the credit you get for your astounding builds. These animals just blow me away! And the micro cityscape and volcano is beyond cool, its positively icebox! Don't ever stop! |

You didn't just go above and beyond here - you went way the hel above and beyond above and beyond! You'll go far in these here Olympics, no doubt. Once again, excellent job, and I hope to see you go far. |

So much to love here! What a great idea to work the Sheng Xiao into this category. As a dragon myself I'd love to say that was my favourite, but for me the hare and the rooster really steal it for being so incongruous! I'll be coming back to look at this one again and again. |

EPIC! I dont see how you got that dragon posted ontop of the volcano. Are you using glue?
So, if you look in the first picture (after the promo) you can see a little of the trans-bar I used ( http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=42445).
There are two of them connected with some trans 1x1 & 1x2 plates. One of the bars is connected to the dragons back and the other goes fairly deep into the volcano. The wings act as a great counterbalance, but, believe me, I was surprised at how easily it stayed as well. I assure you, there is no glue, just friction and physics :)

Heavily armed Water buffalo FTW! Wow, these are amazing. You've really brought your 'A' game to the MocO's. Are you ever gonna settle down, or is this crazy tornado going all the way? The parts usage was fantastic, and I really love the posable snake. That volcano and city are just amazing as well! I can't believe how genious you are with legos! |
