I have clearly been missunderstood, I was thinking to vote for the set within the voting thread.

so when you give your contest votes (in a few days) you also add what set you would like for the next competition.

2 more days before the competition closes.

Got to be real here, that damn crab is so cash. Mr. Legostein is looking down from heaven saying "this SillyEskimo dude knows whats up".

Haha, I was about to vote last night but then it didn't seem to make sense to do this separately now, so I re-read your post.

Spoiler

Going to vote for 6912

 

[Meatpuppet]

If I can find the set tomorrow, I'll grab it. Excite!

 

[RayStorm]

I tried to use as many parts as possible... seems so wasteful otherwise:

And the prototype alongside a mobile control tower:

 

[DodgerSan]

Ok, I'm stymied (and inspired) by the general level of excellence in this thread. I humbly present my official entry:


MK II Interceptor


MK II Interceptor


MK II Interceptor

Been a fun month, and the most use I've gotten from a set in a long time!

 

[whatsinaname]

Easel.

Considering both, I think this is good advice. Thanks. Changing my official entry.

 

[Callibretto]

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.

hoping for this one since it's one of the few creator kits I can find in my country and because I just bought one. I had to pass on current challenge because creator kits are hard to find in my local toy store.

[anonymous_abc]

Very intimidating thread to dip a toe into, but here goes!

Here are a few first efforts for your consideration (no entries just yet). Am I along the right lines?


Speeder Bike


Ship 1


Ship 2

you will have to make a decision soon!

That is nice and I never saw it before. I'll vote for it unless someone suggests something better. I figure we will get to all these current $13 Creator sets eventually.

 

[anonymous_abc]

we are getting close to voting time, so if everyone could check the links and images in the OT for their moc are correct.

The next set should not have wheels!

 

[parrotbeak]

The next set should not have wheels!

I think most of the cheap Creator sets have wheels of some kind. You don't have to use them as wheels!

 

[Milamber]

The next set should not have wheels!

Oh yeah!


6914 - Prehistoric Hunters ($17.99)

 

[SillyEskimo]

Oh yeah!


6914 - Prehistoric Hunters ($17.99)

Some great connections and pieces on that one IMO. It has my vote!

 

[mrkgoo]

I had a think about i, regarding combining sets... Maybe allow people to use a previous sets pieces aswell. You might say that goes an advantage to those who have e previous set.... Yes, it does! Why not reward people who have been playing along? And thhere's no stopping anyone from buying the original set as well if they so wish.

Not to mention I think people will see a good model when they see it, regardless of number of pieces.

And it doesn't have to be every time, or even the next time. Just every now and again to mix things up.

 

[wetwired]

Not sure if I'll make a submission in time, I had those 3 WIP I posted a few pages back but I dunno if any are worth pursuing further

 

[DodgerSan]

you will have to make a decision soon!

I did mate, couple of posts up! (#356)

I am Avatar impaired, sorry

wetwired, you cannot be seriously contemplating not entering, get to it man

 

[wetwired]

I'd submit batman but I didn't take a photo of the spare pieces before I dismantled it and I dunno if I'll have time to remake it.

 

[anonymous_abc]

I don't think that the image of the spare pieces is a strict necessity, I added the requirement mainly out of curiosity ;p

 

[Hero]

Here's my entry!

Decided to make a little ground vehicle with an air vehicle component. Is it a UVA? Is it a low air fighter? Not sure! Quoted for size. Click to make bigger.

Unused pieces:

 

[nny]

Finally done, didn't think I was going to make it! Here it is my lawnmower:

(in the back that's the bag where the cut grass is collected)

Remaining pieces:

I'll try to take better pictures tomorrow, with natural light. Added!

Sir, you have my vote.

This is the most original MOC of the thread so far.

 

[parrotbeak]

I think the later entries are a good argument for a longer contest.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Agreed.

 

[FnordChan]

Belatedly, here's my entry. I'm afraid that, given a set of pieces like this, years and years of conditioning with the classic Space Lego line demands that I create a spaceship of some sort. So, here's the Space Hog:

Two front pieces rotate up for no particularly good reason:

That is a sophisticated space engine part and not a steering wheel, I swear:

The ever-popular side-view:

Here's the ship being piloted by the Lego B-Boy, with the optional sound system component installed:

The remaining part:

My apologies for the rough quality of the photos!

[PalaceBrother]

The remaining part:

There should be a prize for this alone. Well done!

 

[anonymous_abc]

cool last day entries, I'll leave the competition open till midnight CEST
but in practice that will mean till tomorrow morning

 

[PhoncipleBone]

And once it is over, we can post our alt builds. I am curious to see what things didn't make the cut from people.

oh yea, I have one to show too

I think it will make sense to make a new thread for the voting tomorrow, and only the voting.
all discussion to stay here.

Cool. And I have multiple alt builds to post. Some I thought about using as official, but I figured my living room set was different enough to stand out.

 

[wetwired]

well I'm definitely not gonna have time to do another submission so consider my batman my submission

 

[mrkgoo]

Yeah,can't agree with you on that one. Using as many pieces as you can isn't really an achievement. It's noteworthy, I suppose.

 

[anonymous_abc]

i assumed so much this morning and preemted your post

 

[mocolostrocolos]

How about this for the next round?

 

[Meatpuppet]

Tried and failed to recreate the unsteady pendulum from Iron Man 2 before making a fairly mundane skidoo type ice-vehicle. Main feature being a fair bit of SNOT connections to allow for a secondary detachable sledge (in case of crashes ).

Side View - note space for two mini-figs

Close up of drivers side to highlight wheel, and door mechanism

Close up of front skid (which forms the detatchable sledge) + engine block. Smooth top and bottom. Mechanism locking sledge to main body in bg

Rear details - twin exhausts, etc

Releasing the locking mechanism for the sledge

Sledge (upside down at this point) seperated from main body

Sledge in final usable form

Remaining parts - forgot to photograph, about 20? Mainly the long grey plates and the large white plate

Official Entry

I made a few ships, but that is the extent of my imagination, and skills. So, instead, I will post what my daughter made, as she wanted to enter the competition, too.

 

[Mikeside]

sucks that I missed the first round, but I wanna vote 7292 for round 2.

When do we do the voting?

 

[anonymous_abc]

When do we do the voting?

I'll make a thread for that shortly.


[edit]
one of the better unreleased models of mine
a star destroyer.

 

[anonymous_abc]

Voting is now open to the public.

-> Here <-

 

[Katoki]

All I wanted were fangs... however this didn't turn out how I wanted it to. I present the "Flying Walrus", because that's what I thought it looked like.

 

[anonymous_abc]

nice, flying walrus sounds about right ^^

 

[parrotbeak]

FYI images are down on this one: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39998762&postcount=275

I have 6 votes picked but I'm gonna sleep on it and maybe wait to see if these pics get rehosted. So hard to pic just 6.

Edit: Pics work now.

 

[anonymous_abc]

the mech is working for me,
but we better pm SillyEskimo so he doesnt miss this.

So hard to pic just 6.

agreed

ah what a bummer, sorry about that.
we might consider a different approach next time,
these wip or non-entries are kinda pointless imho.

The photography assignment threads were designed to not allow non-entry photographs simply to avoid cluttering the thread, and making it easy for the collator to collect the entries.

Editing a post would constitute a changed entry. People can always link to other work.

 

[Mikeside]

Yeah, maybe just have links to non-official and images in thread have to be official?
