My Secret Santa's gift! Now who do you suppose sent me this?
About this creation
It's up to you guys to figure out the anonymous builder extraordinaire! The suspects are as follows:
Dave Kaleta
Giovanni Seynhaeve
Heath 'kik36' Flor
Chris Phipson
Tom Simon
Dennis Price
Lee Jones
Leda Kat
Stuart Delahay
Mister Bones
Hans Dendauw

By the way, a big thanks to Dave Kaleta for organizing this bit of fun. When he asked me about participating in the exchange, I thought..."well, we AFOLs have exchanged insults, dirty looks, body fluids, and various diseases. Hey, why not do a gift exchange, right?"

That's right! Check out those guns! Glad to know someone has his/her anotomy in proper proportion! And my figgy will be needing every bit of that muscle, too. For those of you not getting the "Kelso Shrugged" reference, check out the overview of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged."
Now lay it on me, people. Who do YOU think built this one? And to see the other mysterious MOCs visit the Secret Santa group!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
UPDATE - THE REVEAL:
Congratulations to all who recognized the work of Dave Kaleta! He was indeed the man behind the Santa beard this time around. I actually screwed up his MOC just a bit in these pics, having improperly rebuilt it after it arrived in the mail. Fortunately even my blunder wasn't enough to hide the genius that is Mr. Kaleta's.
Thanks so much to Dave for the wonderful vig (which is now properly re-assembled and enjoying a place of honor amidst my bookshelves of treasured possessions). And thanks to all who participated, making this whole event a ton of fun!

I recently did a MOC-off with Ribbits M., and both of us have posted our entries. I am asking all of the MOColympics judges to judge our entries, and If you accept, please respond in the quest10ns thread of the MOColympics group. If all of the judges accept, I will post links to both mine and Ribbits' entries in the group. |

What was it supposed to look like?
Quoting Master N the making. Dude, just because you can't guess how it is doesn't mean you have to say something like that.
Yes, Chuck Norris is awesome, but this is a serious conversation. |

Its Chuck Norris! Because he is responsible for everything! Like those massive guns! How do you think they got to be there? Chuck Norris allowed them to be there!(Of course with the condition that they not rival his own.)Oh, and I also know who gave you that giant ball, it was Chuck Norris, and thats also why it stinks. |

Alright. No one's been thrown off the least by my crazy guesses. Final vote: Great build with a fad-ish literary reference by Dave Kaleta. |

Paul Krugman: "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Dang... that's a really nifty gift! But it is a difficult thing discovering who built such a fine creation. But... after careful consideration of the runners-up... I think Phipson, like the butler, did it. |
