I'd retake the pic until it's clearer. Here's a thread on how to take better pics of your lego creations that i've found helpful. P Quote
Opproperaar Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I've been thinking, while an impulse entry below 25 peices is more than possible, a small with less than a hundred and especially a "large" with 200 pieces seems a bit of a low estimate for brick count. For example, according to Greenhair the Armada Falgship has 280 pieces and I was planning on building a ship around that size for a big set entry. Quote

I must say i agree on this, a medium sized set would be about a 150 pieces and a large one about 300 IMO. Considering using 5 figs and 2 animals...that's already 22 pieces..... And yes, the armada flagship has 280 pieces, according to peeron. Quote
Capn Frank Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Oh, so you guys wanna change the piece caps, ay? Well my 200 pc "ship" will take on both of your 300 pc ships :-P P Quote
El Bucanero Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Yeah, or why not just 865 like the BSB? We are to design a pirate set that could be taken in to production, right?X-D Quote

Hopefully these ladies laddies X-D will find a way to live up to the challenge and match that! Yes, the gauntlet has been thrown down, it has indeed. :-P Despite hosting the contest, I will build entries. Not official entries, as I won't be in the voting, but I will also furnish a decent 200pc ship for the large class. Quote

Matn Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I have just finished the Impulse and Small entries. I will take the pictures tonight. Do you have the include the number of pieces in the entry? I know I didn't use more than 100 pieces, but I can't remember how many pieces I have used. I think I have good entries. The Small entry doesn't look like a thing LEGO would release, oh, whatever. :p Quote
Admiral Blockbeard Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) oh, i am not posting for numbers, i have a project due soon and i am procrastinating to the maximum, this forum is doing me wonders... I have read the how to behave in here and I am gracious of your caution. I do not want to be banned due to over posting but i do believe my all posts are of reasonable content and not just number boosters. I was unsure if stasis would change automatically or not. Hence i included that in my post. But enough about me... will some one please make a fishing boat entry for me! I have no hulls and was thinking a fishing boat would be a great entry... Ps i think it best to include the number of pieces. Edited April 4, 2008 by Cpt. Pegleg Blockbeard Quote

Matn Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) Damn, then I have to put all the Small one apart. Oh well, first take the pictures. For the Impulse I have built a small boat and for the Small a rock island with a treasure in it. As sand, what are you guys using? Tan or yellow? I am still choosing which is best.

I'm also pleased to note that Duke, our first entry, followed that rule to the letter. *y* Quote
Matn Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Ok, in the future I will read the first post better. ;-) I have changed my Small one. My Small and Large entry will be modular to each other. X-D Quote
SlyOwl Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Look who's back :pir_angry: I've missed out so far; I'll see what I can come up with *sing* But I'm a bit peeved about the lack of shipability - I'd have liked to have more than 200 pieces to build the next SES! X-D Quote
