Nun, have you tried using Mod Podge? It might give you a different finish, never hurts to try new stuff :)

Sounds like a quick and easy project, thanks for the idea! I'll probably make a post about that on our site.

Are there any Snowtroopers with helmets not fused to the backpacks?

Good point, I'm an action figure customizer so completely ignored the problem since I'm used to painting everything, haha. It's a lot harder to paint LEGO well... here are some pics of my Red Sonja action figure work in progress: http://thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=59861&start=75 I don't think I'll make the LEGO version's decals, I'm not that talented with photoshop/illustrator There's no easy solution... I would stick with the usual flesh and yellow, and if making comics would adjust the color in photoshop.

I think the abduction feature will be made with a technic brick with holes in it and a piece of bubblegum on the tip. And the bubblegum lights up!

I love you, Pepper ^_^

What a perfectly reasonable, logical, and sensible point of view you have, Fred. Are you sure you belong on the internet?

I didn't think I'd enjoy browsing the Category C entries, but man, if Naked Chef or 70s Porn Star don't win I'm gonna die xD

You could always just desaturate the image.... but then you'd be depriving yourself of this rainbow sherbert goodness!

All you have to do is sign up for their newsletter to get updates, we found out about it a few days ago. Anyway, yeah really cool, I'm very happy about their Twileks because you can buy their super awesome Aayla and Talon for less than the price of one official Aayla (I don't like the official fig). The helmets are great if you can buy them to make your characters for less than what they cost on ebay.

If you still want to show what you designed for the current contest but can't get the bricks needed in time to enter it, go ahead and post your stuff here to give others inspiration! (Note that LDD entries aren't accepted as official entries for the contest.) Here's one for Category A, the minifig it's for is the Pilot. Yup, it's all within the limits of 8-wide, over hang of 1 stud. I'm surprised at how much can be added to a scene this small. Yeah it's kinda bland, and the base could use some work. I'm not sure what other colors I could have used for an old shop though. Added a sepia picture to simulate "oldness" lol. That's an old airplane engine on a hydraulic lift, the brown sack is to put tools while working on it when on the ladder. I based the engine on this: Looking at it again, I'd replace the black cylinder in front with two black studs, and oops, I accidentally silvered a black stud. EDIT By Rufus: Since no-one followed your lead, and in order to index your MOC, I've renamed your thread so it's just about you

Is that site like a French Craigslist? Pretty cool!

Do it! DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT On second thought, buy some Space Police sets instead!

Is it alright if I post my LDD build in the entry thread? I know I'm disqualified automatically, but I just wanted to participate I could always just make a new topic for it... maybe a topic where people can post their LDD entries? lol.

Maybe a magnet dangling on a string would work, just have to implant a little magnet on the minifig somehow (or as an attachment around the neck?). Hell, even velcro would work xD

Let's be honest, a lot of the official designs are very boring. If all the ships had wilder proportions and kaleidoscopic colors like this they'd be way more entertaining to watch

Probably a custom from Brickforge or something, spiffy

Yeah, but who wants to enter doors sideways? People in tiny submarines I guess

Well that's pretty messed up, what about people who speak english as a second language? They can't participate in conversations because they dont place commas correctly? :( I understand everything Aveal is saying...

Is the 2-wide door a service entrance for robots? I'd hate to have to keep squeezing through it if I were a human operator lol

That would have been hilarious, seeing a guy crying and talking to no one, like all the homeless guys downtown xD (sorry bums, but sometimes you guys put on a great show!)

Oops! Should have mentioned that I tinted some of the colors myself, like the purple dress. The only problems I had were with the brown areas, they appear very reddish. I like reddish-brown, but the white paper makes the red really stand out to the point where it's distracting/over-saturated. It's a problem with my paper/printer though, not your designs. I still want to go to Kinkos and see if they will print on clear sticker sheets.

I get SDCC updates because I go as Press, but I haven't gotten any info on booths and stuff yet. I'm going to Wonder Con in San Francisco (April), I'll report on anything interesting I see.

YES! All hail ED-209! Hail King Conan! Do you have a personal website where you post your work? I'd like to do a quick write-up about this on my site if you don't mind. And what's this in my pocket? Oops, it seems to have fallen out! What a lovely idea for your next design! Would you take on a few commissions for designs? How much would you charge?

Aliens can't play the guitar, so they have to steal that talent from us.
