LEGO GAF Custom Model Contest
After a longer hiatus we are back with full swing. One quick set-based contest now and we will have a theme based one very soon after this with no holds barred on what LEGO one can use.
Idea: to face of in a hardened custom creation battle where the winner takes all and everyone else gets a pat on the back.
Aim: Having fun and improving our brick building skills on the way.
Rules: One cheapish set (that is still readily available) is chosen to give everyone a level playing field. From the parts contained in this one set (including the spares that come with the box) a custom creation is to be built, no further theme or model limitations are placed. The custom model should however be of your own design and not blatantly copied from somewhere else, getting inspiration and ideas is of course permissible. Using parts not contained in the chosen set is not allowed.
Timeframe: The contest will last one month from the start date, plenty of time for everyone to get the required set and start building. The custom model should be posted in the contest thread by the final date and the OT will be updated with links to the corresponding post. Each entry should contain no more than 5 pictures including one that also shows the pile of left over parts. Every member only gets to submit one entry, alternate builds can be bragged about after the contest deadline is over. Your original entry and post can be edited at will till the final deadline. Remember to take good photos of your model, I would recommend you try and find a uniform background and as much light as possible.
Start Date: 2014-01-24
End Date: 2014-02-16 2400 CEST

Submission:
To ensure I don't miss an entry you can always drop me a PM with a link, also if you are unhappy with my choice of name for your model, don't hesitate to give me the official name of your creation.
Face-off: The winner is then chosen by popular vote. For one week after the OT has been updated with the finalised entries and the voting round is officially opened by the OP voting can commence.
Every voter has exactly 6 votes:
- one worth 3 points
- two worth 2 points
- three worth 1 point
You give your favourite Model 3 points the two runners up 2 points each and have another 3 points to distribute amongst the other entries.
By what measure you rate the entries is entirely up to you.

Flix, could you use this one for the thumbnail? I retook one in square format so it works better with your entry formats.

Man, its so fun to design legos. Its been so long since I last did, so I completely forgot. I might do a bunch more designs with this set even after the contest is over.
Oh, I'm kinda OCD, so could you use this one instead for the thumbnail? Musn't have anything cropped. Lol.

If you are going to edit the images you might as well make them 300x300.
No worries, I can change the images.

Hopefully it's not too late - I only got around to sitting down with the kit tonight, so here's my entry, though it's definitely not going to win.
Another small spacecraft inspired by classic shmups, something like the entry I made for the 'Blue Roadster' contest:

The contests usually get discussed in the main LEGO thread while they are being planned...but nowhere else that I know of.
Subscribe to the main thread (in off-topic community)-it is a super welcoming thread with awesome peeps.
Ooh thanks! I had no idea it was there!
Thanks for the info. Like the other poster, I've only just seen this and would love to take part. Any idea how frequently these take place?
