Wow, you didn't even open the 2nd bag? Nice.
No, I did. I just kept the remaining pieces in there as I used them.

A little attempt at something spacefloaty!
Ok, a sort of first attempt. I don't really like it, but want to get a feel for the set, and a feel for lego. Apart from the city model I built a short while ago, I haven't attempted being creative since I was a kid!
It's a really cool set. Would be fun to just see everything I can build from the one set!
Here is my attempt.
It is not immediatly obvious what this is suppossed to be. Care to give a brief description to help give my mind get the proper push in the right direction?
Ha sorry, it's not very apparent is it. Getting some new pics that I will edit in that will hopefully show it better, but it turned out to be an abstract micro building with a greenhouse type back to it.
Glad to see some others joining in now. This thread has been very slow after the initial burst.
maybe a month is a bit too long?
Good idea. I support shortening it to around the 2 week mark but still have the contest once a month or something like that.
I'm also thinking that one of the people in the contest gets to choose the next set. The winner is the obvious choice, but it would be kind of fun to have the person with the least amount of votes or a random contest participant do it in order to keep everyone engaged. Just some random thoughts!

Ya, we definitely have to build in time to acquire the set. Not everyone lives in an area with lots of Lego. Would it be better to have 1 month for the whole contest, including acquiring and building/posting pics, or have a 2 week break to acquire set and then 2 weeks to build. Then a week to vote and pick a new set.Regarding the month thing, now that I have entered it does seem a bit too long. But I wouldn't want to discourage any possible entries, as they've all been great and I love seeing what else everyone else has built.
Eitherway, I think the extended time-limit is necessary so people can actually acquire the set- I know I had to wait a week before I had my own and that might be worse for others.
I definitely hope we can do this again next month though.
As expected, I've procrastinated this far and haven't done anything other than this little fighter (another ship!) at the beginning of the month. I'll go ahead and put it up as my entry and maybe I can come up with something else in the remaining days.
Definitely not my official entry (which is elsewhere in the thread). So if people want me to change this post to links, I can do that.
All together.
Entry: "Future Fighter Jet"
I guess this one would be a "Waverider" mode from Gundam animes.
I have loved everything in the thread, but I wish the deadline would approach much faster so that the next set to buy can be decided on.OK I wanted an excuse to buy more LEGO
You need an excuse? Here is the best one: "Because they are there." The one I use is "I just wanted it."
I need excuses but the easiest one is that it is on sale. "Look at that cents per brick! I'd be foolish not to buy it!"
Oh I dreamed that I took my TIE and Slave 1 to work and everyone was pointing and laughing at me and I told them they needed to grow up a bit before they could appreciate Lego. I also explained that they weren't just toy spaceships, cuz you can make a lot of other things with it.
I never look at the price per brick honestly. Maybe I should?
Gah. Cannot decide whether I want my monorail as my official entry or my easel+palette.
OT updated,
contest is nearing the finish line, I'm excited to see the outcome of what is to come
with the voting on the entries I would suggest we add a voting for our preferred next model.
So everyone just posts the number of the set they would most like to see as the basis for the next entry and that will then be considered when the second contest is started.
