[CONTEST] Benny's Spaceships Building Academy
Bob De Quatre replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Sorry for the late reply... Had other things to do, away from EB :( A spaceship is something that can travel in space, so a space truck is fine. Yes that entry is valid! -

Modified parts aren't allowed (even if I really like the initiative of dying trans-clear windshields) -

Bob De Quatre replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Sorry, I missed your post. You can take a Technic set, but rebuilding it with systeme pieces is a big modification of the set, too big I think. Could you not keep most of the Technic parts? -
[CONTEST] Benny's Spaceships Building Academy
Bob De Quatre replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Entries should be posted in the Sci-Fi subforum Yep, we're not looking for alt builds, but for modification of sets/MOCs into spaceships! You have to take a set/MOC and turn it into a spaceship like Benny would... with a bunch of antennas, thrusters, anything you think is necessary :) And that's a great entry... but alas a bit late This time try to post your entry in time! -

You have to build a new MOC plus a bennyfied version of that MOC -
[CONTEST] Benny's Spaceships Building Academy
Bob De Quatre replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
It's hard to answer with just yes or no to this question...The theme of this contest is to build a spaceship, so if your entry has some sort of propulsion, and a place to pilot it, you can say that in space it doesn't have to be sleak to fly... No, that's not a requirement. As said, the theme of this contest is to build a spaceship. So turning the portal into some sort of thruster is a good idea. Remember that the original set must be recognizable after the bennyfication process ;) -

Bob De Quatre replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
It's more like 3. The set/MOC can be a spaceship, that what fun would it be to bennyize it? Or maybe you can take a midi sized star destroyer and modify it to become a minifig sized spaceship You must use parts that are not in the set! This contest isn't an alt build contest. The set or MOC should be just a base for Benny to modify ;) -

Bob De Quatre replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
It must be a new MOC, never posted before. I need to work on that yes... You're right, it's a bit confusing... And it is also true that looking at the example (the house) the rule seems a bit, well confusing... I'll jsut remove it. -
Ever wanted to build nice and sleak spaceships like Benny, the classic space astronaut? Then now is the for you to join the Benny's Spaceship Building Academy contest!!

Bob De Quatre replied to Bob De Quatre's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Sorry that wasn't clear. The modifications should use a different color palette than the original set/MOC. That's right. As written in the rules, you may slightly alter the set during your bennyizing the set -
Ever wanted to build a spaceship like Benny, the famous Classic Space minifig? Then grab your bricks and start modifying a set or MOC! You can start with any set or MOC you want, there are no restrictions on themes, you can bennyfy a Star Wars spaceship, a city train, a modular building or even an Architrecture set or MOC! Add thrusters, wings, cockpits, laser guns, antennas, anything needed to make that set/MOC fly! The original set/MOC can be modified during the process, but it should still be recognizable once modified. There's also no restriction on the bricks' colors to use for the set/MOC modifications. Set 70831 Emmet's Dream House Rescue Rocket! is a good example of what we're expecting for this contest. In this example, the yellow house is the original set or MOC, and the Rescue Rocket is the result of the bennyification Categories A: Official path - Build a spaceship in the way Benny would, based on an official set. B: MOC path - Build a spaceship in the way Benny would, based on a new MOC of yours. Rules First rule: have fun! The contest will run from March 10th to April 28th 2019. As long as it's still April 28th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified. This contest is open to all EB members, even if they joined EB after the contest has begun, with the exception of the EB staff, who can enter but are not eligible to win prizes. One entry per member and per category. You can enter all categories with different entries, but you'll be eligible to receive only one prize. All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to being entered in the contest, including the MOC for category B. You may be asked by a staff member to change your entry if it is too similar to an earlier creation. Entries' post must contain at least one picture of the official set or MOC on which you based your entry. All entries must be built from real LEGO. No clone brands, no third-party custom parts. Digital entries are accepted , as long as they are entirely buildable with real bricks! Non-Lego light sources are allowed as long as you mention it in your entry description. You can use official stickers or custom stickers. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Sci-fi forum, the title prefixed by, "[BSBA] Cat X - ". (For example, "[BSBA] Cat A - Benny's Saturn V".) Post pictures no larger than 1024x768, but you may link to bigger pictures. You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. Until the deadline has passed, you are allowed to change and improve your MOC. Winners will be determined by public voting. Prizes Category A first place: #70830 - Sweet Mayhem's Systar Starship! Category A second place: #70831 - Emmet's Dream House/Rescue Rocket! Category B first place: #70835 - Rex's Rexplorer! Category B second place: #70834 - MetalBeard's Heavy Metal Motor Trike!

The Lego Movie 2 - The Second Part 2019 Set Discussion
Bob De Quatre replied to Fenghuang0296's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Please stop the fighting at once. I'll ask everyone to respect others sensibilities about spoilers and what they consider to actually be spoilers. People react differently, and it's no big deal to edit your post to add a spoiler tag, instead of starting an argument. For now (and for the few next weeks), if you want to discuss something that is in the movie and not publicly in sets or trailers, please use the spoiler tag. If you have a doubt, use the spoiler tag. Thanks. Oh and this is an official staff warning. -
Thanks everyone :)

Eurobricks event #15 Günzburg - information topic
Bob De Quatre replied to Holodoc's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
It's a no-go for me... I organise my first Lego exhibition that same week end (a small one, 540m2). I'll see you next year in Billund, or Skaerbeck later this year -
Aala Krien was a skillful B-Wing pilot during the rebellion against the galactic empire. When she joined the resistance, her renown allowed her to be given the head of a T-70 X-wing squadron, acoomplishing hit and run missions. While the X-wing was quite efficient, she soon missed the firepower of her old B-wing and the control provided by its ion cannons. She asked the resistance engineers to remodel a B-wing into a starfighter capable of fullfilling her missions. They made her custom B-wing lighter, faster with upgraded engines and thrusters, and easier to control with the ability to embark an astromech droid. Hope you'll like this MOC as mush as I liked building it. It's been a while since I wanted to do some kind of an evolution to the B-Wing, so I thought what could a B-Wing be like during the Resistance era? How would they have upgraded it? How would they they have dealt with its obvious flaws?...

AFOL designer program
Bob De Quatre replied to anothergol's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
I feel like the AFOL Designer Program is just like Ideas, with the 10 000 votes after the selection phase... I was hoping it would produce actual MOCs, aimed to AFOL, with advanced techniques, shapes and all... but no -

Bob De Quatre replied to anothergol's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Like @anothergol I was expecting more MOC like entries, more elaborated... but let's wait for the other. No would be a more exact answer... Since I entered a starfighter, I don't think I'll pass the selection... Anyway it was fun -

People, let's focus on the discussion about leaks please.

I've been wanting to build a Wipeout inspired ship for so long... And I finally got inspired to mix a racy aesthetic with the Vic Viper themed month to create the Aurora-s1 race ship. The Aurora-s1 is a two maned ship (a pilot and an engineer), propulsed by 4 engines with a single big central motor. Side wings can expand or retract to adjust stability when needed.
