I Scream Clone

Basically its a tough one to rule on, provided it isn't whole baseplates of scenery with stations, buildings, mountains etc it should be fine. Yes a tender is a wood or coal car, and will not count toward the four car limit.

Well you have a propensity for using long words like Anachronism, so I went and looked it up

Awwww, its soooooooooooo cute, with the iddy-biddy wings and all. Cool stuff Pep. Sky-Fi is made for you!

LEGO stuff I guess will be up for discussion . Things like designing Modular houses and building massive structures like the Love Boat.

Go for it in that case.

Lovely work and outstanding entry for category 2! Love all the detailing down to the break in, dancing girls and the accordion! Good luck.

Public voting with points allocation. My attempt at humour, sorry. Any figure scale for Category 1 and 2. Minifigure scale only for Category 3 (Custom minifigure)

Its still Western Go for it!

Um, what was the point of this topic? Please don't worry about posting this type of thread next time. It also belongs in BSTF.

As I already wrote below, it will not qualify for judging. If you take photos of the creation on its own it will be ok. Check out the full rules here.

My thoughts exactly. It is a great train from a classic scene. If you were to photograph just the train and its track (delorean allowed), it would be a fine entry, however we decided to make this category just about the train, not the background/surrounds, so they are not allowed in the pictures, no matter how beautiful they are .

I don't see any problem on my screen Well get cracking then, everyone gets 2 months but you only get one, ok? I see no problem with this as flex comes in many lengths already, go for it. Only newly created figures or creations allowed, this competition is about building new entries, not recycling unfortunately.

Ah, but then it would defeat the purpose of making a custom figure Since we have said no digital entries it wouldn't qualify for judging, sorry.

An amazing design Yatkuu, well done on achieving a great lemon shape.

You may light up your building, however not for the first picture (voting picture) presented, as this isn't a light up your MOC competition, though it may look quite nice.

Plenty of figures on Bricklink, and you have 8 weeks to build.

That's because the site isn't up and working yet. His Flickr group is though. This is fine for categories 1 and 2, but its hard to make a custom figure in micro scale. If you want to build a town or train in macro scale, then it will be huge! Might have trouble building a town on 64x64 though Custom figures for Cat 3 should be minifig scale, rules updated. Go for it, its still custom after all! Western inspired is fine as well. It doesn't have to be 100% historically accurate, we only want to see amazing builds! Just remember your idea may not always be what others perceive as Western, which may or may not cost you votes. I once built an Islander's temple for a Pirate comp and one, sometimes thinking outside the box pays off That's fine, they are LEGO figures after all

You ripper! Lovely addition to the Ripley hard suit thingy you made previously. MOC Expert tag!

Digital backgrounds have been discussed and the Staff feel that provided the first picture is clean (ie a plain colour background from PS etc) additional pictures will be allowed to have edited backgrounds. So first picture may not have a digital backdrop added, except for a simple colour and the MOC's title. Whilst additional pictures can have a digital background of cacti, rivers, tunnels, etc. Rules have been updated accordingly.

There is no need to post a whole topic just for your set ideas. If everyone did this this forum would be unreadable. Leave your list in this thread where it is appropriate. Thanks.

Limit yourself to a maximum of four wagons/cars/coaches/flat beds etc. Engine can include a tender as well and it will not be included in the four car limit.

Wow, the Trojan horse itself has amazing shaping, and I love the use of inverted plates on the ground and walls to give a different texture. Great stuff.

Well done on a great recreation of a massive scene! Love the exact angles achieved not only in the shot, but the castle walls and cliff face.
