Entry Posted

Later I'll improve the images and spiffen up the scene,I was kinda in a hurry because my camera battery was about to die :-D

So Boba Fett was hired by me to fly up and drop a huge manda-metal block on that skellie

Oh and I picked Hoth(again) becuase I had an idea for a wampa to whack to me :-$

However my first idea invloved Batbrick and iamded fighting over which way was better :-D

Jeez! You make it sound like we're a couple! :-$

Piranha, admit it, I was going to win right?

Anyhoo, I'll do what Sinner said and comment on each:

Hinckley: Excellent chipper, do you plan on recycling the sawdust?

Doctor Sinister: I want one! 8-

zz-80, love your entry, and the dim lighting only helps - in my humble opinion, it looks great!

Dr. S.

Thanks Dr.! Well in the end it turned out to help creating a gloomy atmosphere. :-)

Piranha, in which set was the Yeti/Wampa? I need to have one too! *sweet*

I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

[LuxorV]

I'm sorry, I found little time to comment on the entries 8-| .

They are all sooo great X-O !! It will be a very hard fight to decide a winner here :-P

One special mention to Jocko, who may build rarely, but is really good at it ;-)

LuxorV I suppose it is the obvious answer. The doggie looks so happy now too!

LuxorV: I *wub* that two-headed dog! very practical too!

Thanks for your kind comments :-$ You too made a great work *y* *y*

P.S.: the dog is pretty happy: he has decided to settle in my sigfig's house, now |-/ :-P

Thanks, found the set: 7412. Unfortunately during my dark ages, so I gotta bricklink for one of those. D'oooh.

[aayla-secura]

I entered now too!!

*feedback on!* :-D

[iamded]

Very cool Aayla! Looks very sinister >:-) , awesome! Nice use of SNOT too! *y*

~Peace

[Batbrick]

Thats a great vig aayla! *y*

Welldone, but I never knew that *yoda* was that sadistic! X-O

I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

[iamded]

Cool one hewkii9! Who would have thought, just sort them! Nice detailed vig, but what happens when you need to sort your Lego? 8-| X-D Great job! *y*

~Peace

[Hinckley]

Great entries so far! *sweet* *y*

• Doctor Sinister-Your awesome unique lighting effects enhance your great building skills.
  
• Grevious-This is a lot of fun and well built too! I love how it's a continuation of your review. :-D
  
• imaded-That meteor is awesome!
  
• LuxorV-A hound from hell would certainly take care of a pile of bones from hell! X-D
  
• *yoda* -Is it possible you enjoy minifig suffering more than I do? X-D Drawing and quartering on! Well...halving.
  
• Sir Nadroj-leave it to you to build Heaven, Hell and Earth. Nice job!
  
• Doug-*moment of silence for the banned* :'-(
  
• Sinner-always so much fun! *wub*
  
• Brickster-Yay! X-D A Brickster entry-glad to see you here. Love it, simple yet devishly cruel and effective! I apologize for starting a contest encouraging people to kill you... :-$
  
• Sir Dillon-Awesome. You are great at vigs, simple, subtle yet effective. This one is really clever, I love the limp arms protruding out from under the boulder. For lack of a better word, it's really cute!
  
• Batbrick-Cool and sick! I love the skellies dining on the man's head! *wub*
  
• TinyPies...-Way to bring in a "whack." Excellent!
  
• Jocko-Awesome. Who knew you had it in you? We'll work on building sturdier structures, so there won't be so much swearing next time... :-D
  
• zz-80-This is really beautiful...for a killing machine. Very cool!
  
• Piranha-Oh, I love Piranha entries! This one is just as whacky as your other ones-nice! I do have to criticize a little-next time you photograph a vig, think of composition. Sometimes your pics make it a little difficult to see exactly what is happening. Love it though!
  
• aayla-Your entry is creepy and sick! I love it.
  
• hewkii-This is a very clever joke! I laughed out loud when I saw it. Very clever vig, bud.
  

Is that 17 entries already? Wow! 8-

hewkii, yours is great, Its so logical, and very appropriate on a lego forum! :-D *y*

I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

[zz-80]

*y* The last two by Aayla and Hewkii are pretty cool ideas and very good built!! I really love seeing the skellies sorted, but is it cruel enough to win? *skull* :-D

[aayla-secura]

Thanks , plz vote for me guys :-D i want a HINCKIE AVATAR :-D

[SlyOwl]

My entry is complete...it's not exactly fitting with the others - more a philosophical turn! :-/

I can't photograph it yet; thanks to daylight saving time, when I leave for school, it's too busy to do it and when I come home it's pitch black... :'-( I use a close up digital camera with a flash, which casts shadow over everything an druins any Lego photo, so I do it outside in reasonably bright daylight, to turn the flash off. Guess I'll just have to wait for the weekend. :-( That also explains why I won't be uploading much to BS before Christmas...

It sounds like you have your flash set on auto. You should be able to turn the flash off if you want to.

[Piranha]

Well as promised I redid me entry :-$

You can view it in the Entry thread where my first one was

I added a snowtrooper and probe,made a clearer view and a sniper rifle view :-D

Enjoy!!

Thanks for the feedback everyone *sweet*

Great Entries!!,I love them 8-

[Capn Frank]

Holy cow! 10 pages X-O

and 17(ish) entries!

A lot of ppl must like the new skelies just as much as i do. X-D

Oh yeah,

my entry has been entered :-)

[ApophisV]

No offence to anyone, but looking at many of the entries in the other thread I wonder if you don't think some of you are lacking the spirit of real vignettes in your entrys? I saw lots of entrys much larger than 8x8 and just having a 8x8 plate underneath as some sort of an excuse, this seems rather wierd to me.

Like putting a well-balanced 8x8 plate beneath the UCS Falcon and calling this a Falcon Vignette... *wacko*

[iamded]

Piranha, nice re-entry! Looks very nice! *y* *y*

Phred, nice method, lots of skelly deaths! Cool Warthog! I like how you included other members as well. *y* Although it may be a bit much on the layering... oh well.

~Peace

I didn't enter the contest myself, but isn't that just overlap which is allowed,

as is clearly stated by rule nr. 1 under contest rules? :-P
