MINI BUILD ENTRY TOPIC

This is the entry topic for the Technic Mini Build Contest.

DESCRIPTION

Build a LEGO Technic model with a maximum of 200 LEGO parts! Imagine your set being sold as an official LEGO set.

DEADLINE

Contest closes on August 1st, 2014.

CONTEST INFORMATION

More information about the contest can be found in the general discussion topic.

WHAT DO I NEED TO ENTER?

Please take a careful look at the rules before posting in this topic. Each participant should create a post in this entry topic. Posts need to follow the rules stated below. Posts not following the rules will be disqualified so please read them carefully.

ENTRY POST

The entry post should contain:

  • Entry name
  • Part count
  • Short summary of the functions
  • Promotional image (this one should kick megablocks!)
  • Parts image (a picture of all the parts used, spread out on a surface)
  • Video's are not allowed in the entry post (they are allowed in your WIP topic)

The promotional image needs to be clear and crisp image, which really shows the model in it's best way. Think of it as the image on the box. Building a great MOC is one thing, but a decent presentation really helps you to get more votes.

It's allowed to do some photoshopping to enhance the quality of your image. It's even allowed to compose a single promotional image with a main picture and several subviews (example), as long as your image doesn't exceed the maximum width of 1024 pixels.

So this is allowed and even encouraged:

The part image needs to show ALL the parts used in the model. That way we can clearly see which, and how many, parts have been used. For example:

IMPORTANT

This topic should be used for entries only, so commenting is prohibited. Please use the general discussion topic for comments on the entries.
