The new and re-named "The Really big ship contest"

Post by **Dr. X** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 12:05 am

Wow, thanks bubs. I actually kinda think the ship is a bit chunky, and it really needs dusting, but it's still cool.

Seconded on Dr. X's ship. That's awesome.
Natalaya's would probably win as it stands right now... and given the short amount of time people have to work with she may well win the contest.
Thanks James for letting me enter even though I'm just below the hundred stud limit.
Moronstudios: If you have enough pieces it's not that hard. It takes a while, but a lot of that is just slapping bricks and plates together rather than playing around with wierd angled-SNOT construction techniques. In some ways it's easier to build large ships, because you have more room to work in.

hmmm.... maybe if I just attach some really long parts to the back of my (actually very tiny) ship...

Okay so basically the rules are:

- Ship must be 50+ studs in a given dimension
- Ship must be minifig scale and hold at least 1 minifig
- Contest ends on December 31

James I think you should list the rules like that on the first post so people know wtf is going on.

@ Dr.X:
We have the same colour scheme because we both used the ARC 130 gunship sets for parts. Except I used two of them where you probably used only one from what I can see.

Post by **Dr. X** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 4:04 pm

Yeah, they're both in Old Republic (white/dkred) color schemes.

Good, now try not to twist and bend the rules at your own leisure before the contest is over.

Post by **james+burgundy** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 10:07 pm

i don't think i would do that

When you said "fleebnorks" in the title, who exactly were you referring to?

Post by **Dr. X** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 11:15 pm

You don't know what fleebnorks are? I pity you.

Here is my contribution.

I have my Optimus Prime mask in the pictures so you know that this awesomeness and I didn't steal it from someone else. Some props to my friend Cameron who did a little work on the cockpit.

EDIT: Pictures were too big. Here's the Brickshelf gallery when it goes public: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=347778
