Just do you know, Mercenary's entry is 16x16

[Big Cam]

Just do you know, Mercenary's entry is 16x16

haha, I'm sure KimT can see that, but I think for it to be a VALID entry, the poster needs to identify which catebory he/she is entering.

Kim please feel free to delete this if you didn't want posts in here.

[KimT]

Entry index has been updated with RepublicForces, mookage and Mercenary entries.

I've left a comment for each of you.

Best of luck.

[Dan the Brickman]

The only limitations are as stated in the rules.

No clone parts.

3 categorial sizes to enter in.

Must be Star Wars themed.

...So this means no CLONE wars????

lol, I'm a little new to this, still learning some of the terms, but if im right, this mean no Meg@#l*X?!!! ...aka Lego brand only? (Im fine with that!)

oh, and,

-May the Force build with you!

Clone Wars is Star Wars...

And yes no clone brands means no clone brands.

[The Legonater]

Clone Wars is Star Wars...

I think he was joking.

[Legoman]

Well, I think I've finished my Small entry. But I'm going to hold off posting it for a while yet, so that A) I have time to critisize it myself, to try get it perfect, and B) so that It's not at the bottom of the forum lists by the time of Voting

Now, what should I do for the 32x32...

[Cloney]

I'm guessing you cant add an existing lego vehicle on lets say...a baseplate and make a scene with it with other buildings and ideas?

[KimT]

Just wondering- doubting, but wondring- can we use offical TLG models in these?

All entries will be commented as they are posted.

These comments will include how to turn the entry around, if it's facing disqualification.

As said and described in the rules.

And no you can't use official models - that would be against the idea of this being a MOC contest, wouldn't it?

Just wondering, what polybags do you have?

[KimT]

???

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

??? I mean for prizes, you said that there were polybags somewhere.....

And?

Epic Scenes Contest

What are the prizes?

Well there's at least on EB stormie up for each category's winner.

And we'll dig in and see what we can find for 2nd and 3rd place.

We've got quite a stash of polybags and stuff like that lined up.

Plus the main thing is to be able to say "I won"

We promise prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in all three categories.

Only 1st prize winners will also win the "Star Wars Contest Winner"-tag.

Check the EB Stormie here

In time we'll announce the prizes.

Why the rush?

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

Ahh, nevermind

Yes, young padawan, but have you considered that the first entries are often the ones who get the most attention?

[KimT]

Indeed, but that doesn't neccesarily result in the most votes.

At least it hasn't been that way in the past contests we've had.

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

Yes, I know that too

[Legoman]

Well, 'Master' , Where do you get that Idea? I have not seen any logical reasoning behind that...

[Skipper 24]

By limited how much?

What if I were to say make some sort of landing platform (Kamino, Bespin etc) that would be raised above the baseplate by a pillar. Could you over hang the baseplate with the platform?

If that makes sense?

No it doesn't

If you were to have a little overhang, then it's no issue at all.

But too much overhang would enhance the vig size too much and thus vioulate the rule of building on a 16x16, 32x32 or 48x48 baseplate.

It all depends on what exactly you're doing.

A few studs of branches or stuff like that wont piss me off, if that's what you're asking?

Exactly what I was looking for .

Any chance we could get an extension on the deadline? A week would be great, but I'd settle for a couple of days. I'd love to enter, but that stupid vacation is getting in the way.

Vacation?

What vacation?

If there is a dire need for more time, then I'll talk it over with the rest of the Star Wars team and then the rest of the staff.

Isn't a month enough?

Do you guys really need to eat, sleep and work?

Wait! Does this mean you dare live 'real' lives?

Scary!

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

Do you think I should post WIP pics? I mean, it's not like I would change much based on feedback, I'd just like to share my ideas and makes sure no one gets to them first!

I don't see why not.

Several others have done that in the past and benefitted quite well from feedback and comments before the deadline.

[brickfoot]

What does WIP mean.
