LEGO GAF Custom Model Contest #1 |OT| - thread of MOC'ery

I've had that thought too
And I'm still thinking about the possibility of prizes...
Yeah, I guess a good way of doing it might be something like:
July:
Blue Roadster MOC
August:
1. Dune Hopper MOC
2. Blue Roadster + Dune Hopper MOC
September:
1. Creator Helicopter MOC
2. Dune Hopper + Creator Helicopter MOC
Or alternatively, do single MOC for two months in a row, third month still offer single MOC contest but have all three month super-MOC. Limit to one bracket entry per GAFer or something.
Maybe prizes could be the next month's Creator kit? Not sure how much you wanna spend. Also would we have enough Creator kits to last us a while? Or would you think going to CITY/Ninjago/Monster Fighters/Star Wars would be okay too?

I say keep it to one single model a month. Easier to track. However, I think once we should have a contest with a bigger set. Not $200+ big but like $50 or so.

If I get into this I'm going to have to break down and buy a camera. I never bought a digital one.

I think I'll have to participate in this.
Same. It rings with certain kind of nerd elitism that I can't stand.

So how do I get the attention of a mod to change the title, without risking the ban hammer

Will see what I can do.

Check to see which mods are online and then send a polite request to one of them via a PM.

I'm in, I got this set for my birthday earlier this year. Not promising anything spectacular, but maybe it will hone my MOC skills (as I have none)

Any plans on building up to the Creator houses? Soooooo much potential there, and those would be a good way to use our newly-honed skills from these smaller sets.
I know some might not be able to afford them (it will take me some time to save up for the houses), but maybe we can have a month where you can have the options of either a house or use 2-3 of the previous sets.
Just a thought.

Log Cabin was mentioned, I think. That's around $30.

Log Cabin is only $30. Apple Tree House is $50. I say let's see where it goes.

Also, I would support donating a buck or two to start a pool for the prizes. Consider it my entry fee.

I played around with the parts tonight as I probably won't get a whole lot of time the next month to put something together. I had an idea for a trike, I ran with it, rebuilt it a fair amount, and I'm not quite happy with parts of it (the front) but it's probably the best I'll come up with in the time frame.
I did make sure to make the seats minifig size as my daughter immediately wanted to play with it upon seeing me build something. Keeping her away was probably harder than figuring out some sneaky use for parts.
And a bonus:
Maybe some aspect of it can be an inspiration for others to make something really cool.

This is a building contest. Not a photography contest. You will be fine.
I already have the set, but parts of it are in my two major Modular Mocs. Will be buying another copy of the set just for this contest. Probably won't post an entry until close to deadline though. Give me time to play with ideas. Already have a couple. Let's see how well I can pull them off.
Thanks.
I bought 3 of these sets for myself, months ago just for the 3 builds. Gonna go out & buy more as I have several nephews birthdays coming up.

How much was it in Target? Maybe the ones still on the fence can find it cheaper there.

$12.99, just like nearly everywhere that is not called Toys R Us.
I am also glad to see many new names to Lego GAF in here. And I think the low cost of the set is what is getting people into this. Love it!

I plan on picking one up this afternoon, looks like a great idea for a thread.
Also for Aus Gaffers the set is about $15 @ Big W.

ENTRY
Ended up redoing my build away from star trek, not sure if I should keep this one or submit my old one, oh well:
Ship with launch pad and crane (including spare parts)
Just the ship
Just the launch pad and crane (where most of the extra parts went)
another angle:
The rest of the builds (including the star trek ship alt):http://flic.kr/s/aHsjAABmcJ

Well here it is gaf, the first entry that you all can point, laugh & strategize for your even better entries.
Sweet, I immediately had the sound of the Jetsons car in my head.

Wow nice idea. Already quality entries on!
Could someone please post a picture of the spare parts when the main set model is built? I have the roadster here but put all the spares of my recent sets together... :/
