That is one magnificent MOC!

LOL, funny story and very nice details and such.

Brilliant work here Stuart, and a funny story to boot. The meteor and the old-school tape-drive computer were highlights. Rock on Stuart!

lol! great story! i was already laughing just with the tennis ball, then i saw the rest... as for the builds, high quality, very detailed and convincing, really good stuff stuart!

A total win ! It's on the level of the best storywriter/builder like Chris,Hans,the Emperor... Very funny jokes and the narration flows very well. The jokes are understandable even to a french like me lol And the choice of the year 1977 is a good point (I was born that year - which was a kind of disaster for the earth xD)

I absolutely love that comet. Fantastic.

This is really funny!! And I think lave would look better with some trans orange bits or something to break up the red! This was a great idea and very clever! I really like the meteor it's good!

This is awesome, I loved the tennis ball bit, and the mimes at the end. Excellent work!

Thanks to all for the kind comments and encouragement! Your opinions do matter, and sorry if I take a while to respond in kind.

Sorry, I don't do instructions per se. Generally, the comet is a bram sphere (google it - there are lots of guides and instructions out there)which I faded from yellow, through orange to red. Then I built the tail shape up as a tall irregular pyramid in red. Finally, I added orange studs and flame pieces to break up the tail shape. A word of warning - it weighed a ton and I hadn't considered how to suspend it in front of my background. I had to do a quick re-build of one side to attach it to the backdrop. Good luck!

Nicely done. Great idea too.

AWESOME COMET! can u pleez send me instructions at john.w.hastings@gmail.com

Excellent job my friend. I had hoped to face Batman in the final round, but a bout of procrastination helped to secure my end. I don't blame my illness fully, as if I weren't playing Fallout I would have had the set pieces built up as I envisioned long before Saturday's "Heath Flor's takedown". Last year I was knocked out in the first round.....this year I made it to the final four. No shame in that at all. Hope to see you win fine sir, as I will be cheering you on from the side! You MUST take down BATMAN!!! No pressure.

I like the comet!

Great balls of fire! Excellent work here Stuart! Now prepare to meet your destiny in the final round!!!

That 70s Disaster Movie. Well played.

Well, since we don't need my vote I'll just say, welcome to the finals! ~Chris.

Great balz of fire, what a great creation! Now, prepare to meet your destiny in the final chapter!!!

Congrats you Limey git, see you in the finals, oh yes, it is the Third Revolutionary War...Stu vs Dave, Brit vs Yank. Best of luck!

Congrats on the win Stu! This is a fantastic build with a hilarious story. Great job! My revenge match isn't looking like such a good plan now though. I could very well be facing off with the MO grand champion!

Too late here for my vote to count, but you've got it nonetheless. Great story telling, and even better MOCs and presentation. Heath did VERY well on his, too, so it was another close one in my book, but apparently the others agreed. Congrats on the win, and now...buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy!

heh heh fun

Great ball(s) of fire!

Joker vs. Batman for the final

Very good job, good enough to edge out Heath on this one - you have my vote, and looks like the win. Lee.

hehe, brilliant, love the figs, the afro hair piece was a classic...

Ok, we asked for a scene, and you built a whole movie. And a "disaster comedy" too. Love the fireball, the characters and the hilarious double plot twist. You get my vote.

I'll vote just for the comet, exellent work.

Tough choice again here, but in the end, your details in the build got you my vote. Good luck with the other judges.

Wow, very good builds Stu, I feel you might win this round...

I love how you built that computer! And my favorite minifig is the mime skeleton. There's just something about mimes that make you want to choke them out! LMAO. I was wondering how you were going to pull off a twist, but as usual the master story teller shows us how it's done. Good luck with the judges buddy....though I'm sure you won't need it!

Love the meteor, and I really love the mimes at the end. The only thing is that the assistant should have said `groovy`in stead of funky, I think.

Hahahaha! Dude, that was AWESOME! The story was masterfully done, as where the builds! It should be interesting to see what Heath throws at you. Good luck!

That's an awesome asteroid. Cool telescope too.

Very nice, "an extraordinary coincidence that’s saved a lot of time and exposition" :P got to remember that one :P great set-ups, hmmm, that cracked building looks familiar, great job and good luck with the judges

Hilarious entry! As usual, excellent homorous writeup! Good luck!

Great story, great builds, great humour (spelt with a second 'u'), great minifigs, great photos, great writing, great Scott! Overall tally = totally top-notch entry. I have high hopes that you'll make the final, although Heath's entry is excellent too... well done again!

Awesome! Quintessential Stu humour and storytelling. Loved it! That last dio of the town and lava is brilliant! Absolutely adorable!

'My lord, it looks enormous and devastating'; if I had a nickle for every time I've heard THAT...LMAO I know, I know, I'd have a pocket full of lint=P Yeah, I was wondering about ol' Squarejaw's knickers in that shot; the combo of lighting and the yellow building DO make him appear to be nekkid. Loving the asteroid, lava scene, and well posed party 'aftermath'. Good luck, guvnuh, and congrats on a great build.~H

Beatuiful twist in the end. All around a really good story moc. And a really god build. Good luck.

Too much man. ;^} Love the lab equipment. Sure the telescope, but especially the mainframe. Nice appearance of your opponent in statue form at the end. I'm also wondering what brought to mind some of your references. Were you: listening to one of the symphonies, just thinking about Caroline in a free moment, or wiping Uranus after a good dump?

I was really looking forward to an asteroid hitting a town.. then with the twist I was thinking 'Drunk people are a disaster to society too'... Then the final twist I just didn't see it coming. Awesome build with an awesome comical storyline. ~Thoy

I feel like times when I've done something that bad (like when I decided I'd get some Batman stuff later...geez that stuff's overpriced)

is squarejaw not wearing pants in that one picture?

You did well to go with minifig story, as you're quite good at it. I enjoyed the build up and the payoff. My favorite part of the build is the forced perspective of the lava flow, quite nicely done. Congratulations on a wonderful entry.

Love it! Awesome job, Stuart!

I love all of the different sets used here, particularly the lab. The telescope looks fantastic! An all-around great build, hope to see ya in the finals!

Quite an excellent entry, I love a good 70's disaster that could have been averted!
