Gabe Posted May 2, 2011 Oh God, this was so hard to decide... so many wonderful entries and only 7 points to distribute?? But, for my sins, this is how i split them up: Ninjago: 10. Ninjago battle chess arena - Kris Kelvin - 1 point 23. Serpent Ruins - Seircon and Coral - 1 point If had to go for one Lego chess set, it would be Kris Kelvin's. Pure class and the drawers to store the pieces are both elegant and practical. The little clock, even if it is not functional, is a wonderful extra. I deliberated about my inclusion of the Serpent Ruins for a while, but in the end i voted with my heart. I love organic forms and the visual appeal of this entry is undeniable. Not perhaps an obvious set choice for TLG, but we all need a little improbability in our lives! Quy's Ignacia Village and LegoManiac's Attack of the Dojo just miss out on points, but i have to mention them anyway - outstanding entries guys! Atlantis: 15. Rise of the Dread Colossus - Aanchir - 1 point 32. The Final Ruins - Jalkow - 1 point These two entries were examples i felt of amazing design - both visually pleasing and with economical part usage for thier scale. In both cases i got the feeling that the concepts could not have been realised better. The inclusion of the blurred and stamped image in Jalkow's entry was also a really nice touch... really had me going when i saw it on Flickr! Pharaoh's Quest: 20. The Walking Pyramid - Sandy - 2 points 21. Prof. Hale's Oasis Hacienda - Rufus - 1 point Now this was the theme where the comp really heated up, imho. I was faced with the decision to either choose three entries to give one point each to, or to give an extra point to my overall favourite. In the end i stuck to the latter approach, with apologies to the 5 or so entries that could easily have claimed my last point. So my apologies to TazManiac, TooMuchCaffeine, Yatkuu, Neiks and Telvon - my hat is off to you all for yr wonderful entries! In the end the Hacienda won me over with the sheer cosiness of the interiors, plus the beautiful landscaping outside of the building didn't hurt one bit! As for my favourite, the Walking Pyramid was just sheer inventiveness on a grand scale - the troop-carrying legs, the wonderful posability of such a large creation - it even looks like a camel lying down! And it had that slight tinge of absurdity that made it all so idiosyncratic and memorable. So yeah, i hope that is enough feedback for my choices. Because the competition was so fierce, I really felt the need to justify my votes. Best of luck to everyone in the comp, and many, many thanks to Eurobricks and the orginsers for such a brilliant comp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
