Build a Star Wars Land-Based Vehicle

[KimT]

your moc must post you here?

and am possible I also a link put where the fhoto `s are?

Your MOC is supposed to be posted within the 'Watto's Junkyard' - not as a reply to this topic.

A link to the photos is more than welcome.

If you have any doubts about the rules - you might consider sending a pm to one of the Dutch members here and have him/her help you in translating it.

Hovercrafts are considered vehicles.

As long as it 'drives' instead of 'flies'.

Landspeeders, speederbikes, AT-ST, Snail Tank & AT-TE are all good examples on land-based vehicles.

Is that clear enough?

KimT

Thanks for explanations, all is clear. But... you have told, that the transport which has been not made in Lego is accepted only. Or AT-ST and Snail Tank - only examples?)

I was merely giving examples.

Models already done and released by TLG aren't allowed to enter.

So no AT-AT, Snail Tank, Speederbike, Landspeeder or AT-ST - which is why I used them as examples of land-based vehicles.

Sweet! The Era of Contests has begun! Now I know what I'll do for Spring Break. I'll definitely enter for at least one of the categories. I have some nice, Battlefront-inspired ideas!

Time to train my force-MOCing powers...

So, we have to build a vehicle. But what era is it? IS it only the episode 2 era and before as Watto lost his junkyard remember?

Have you read the rules?

Star Wars Universe or own imagination.

Isn't that enough?

[prateek]

Why would stormtroopers go undercover?

Sounds far fetched to me...

I suggest you reread the first post and discover that yes, you may make up things - but you need to keep it within the Star Wars Universe or be damn good at explaining how and why it's linked to it.

why not? or undercover clone troopers to uncover a seperatist plan or something

I am right now downloading pics of small and medium MOCS, then I will resize, and upload.

So no one takes them, it is a cutom type speeder bike and an AAC-1 tank.

Up by tonight, I hope!

Can we update our model after posting the original, as long as it is before the finishing date? Thanks.

JD

Btw, can a sleek and simple ship have any chance of winning (in the small catergory)?

Good Question... I would like to know about that too...

I don't think so. It's a Land-Based Vehicle Contest, Drives not flys.

Anyway, I'm building a RIC-920 with Rickshaw. No-one copy me please

Oh, yes that'll be fine. Mabye you should start a thread for it? I'd like to see

[Artizan]

Yes you're allowed to update your posted models until the end date and hour, after that, I'll close the topics temporarily until the voting is over.

A sleek and simple vehicle could win..

No ships this time - maybe in the next contest.

Right

A speeder is considered a vehicle.

I keep thinking up ideas for great water craft. It's driving me crazy, I can't think of any land vehicles to make .

Land-based would include ships the way I see it.

What not to build is things that fly... Star Destroyers, ?-Wing fighters and stuff like that.

[Skipper 24]

So we can enter boats/water craft then? Just flying ships are a big no no.

Yeeees!

I've updated the first post with this:

Update: Land-based includes Walkers, Animals (like Rancor and Banthas), Ships, Hovercrafts like the landspeeder and of course wheel or belt driven vehicles like tanks and trucks.

Just as long as the goddam things don't fly.

[Legoman]

I'm torn. I can't decide if a Air-taxi is a ship or Vehicle

Can anyone help? I don't want to start working on an illegal Entry

An Air-Taxi, eh?

Like the one in the 5th Element?

Or as in the Bounty Hunter Pursuit kinda way?

If so, then yes, it's a vehicle and not a plane.

[Legoman]

Sweet! thanks KimT

I'm off to build a Air-Taxi....
