[TC7] Technic Bandits vs Enforcers Contest - Postponed to 16th Aug

[MaxSupercars]

The List with Enforcers vs. Bandits would not bad... I'm interested too... :)

Max...

[Jim]

Both of you just calm down, let's keep it friendly. Let's just all follow the rules and ask if we have questions.

I was wondering if we could add a poll to see how many people will be an enforcer and bandit? Counting topics is not the best because people might want to keep their project secret or haven't started.

Don't minimod topics. Use the report button instead.

A poll is a good idea! I will create one tomorrow.

[Jim]

So, do we want a public or private poll?

[KirTech LAB]

Maybe private poll will be cool? Just to save intrigue :)

[HorcikDesigns]

I agree with desert752 - private pool to save the originality of choice of each contestant (in case I understand it right)

[Jim]

The poll is online! (top of this topic)

[Jim]

So far, it seems like a fair battle

• Bandits (5 votes [41.67%])
  
• Enforcers (6 votes [50.00%])
  
• Not sure yet (1 votes [8.33%])

What about using a mostly grey body for a bandit, and adding some colored stripes to it ? Just a thought if I can't get the proper shape with my red pieces.

Mostly grey is not what I am looking for. Grey can be a supporting color, not the main color.

This means the bodywork definitely needs to contain more color than grey.

I'm sorry if this limits you, but one exception leads to another.

No, it doesn't really, I have red pieces, but I was thinking that the grey would create more of a exposed metal look, maybe add some brown for rust, but i'm not sure yet, as "new looking body in the middle of a wasteland" Edited June 24, 2015 by Tommy Styrvoky

[syclone]

Wow,just received some parts from bricklink ,and I know where i will put them!

[Milan]

I have to ask again the same question from couple of pages back;

Green screen allowed?

Not for making fancy effects on the vehicle, just to (attempt) to make proper background.

[HorcikDesigns]

Another two questions:

One (annoying) colour-themed question - are blue decals (custom stickers) in wheels of an enforcer truck allowed, or not?

And are allowed only legal building techniques, or some non-destructive (no cutting or glueing) "illegal" (smaller tires on larger wheels) are also permitted?

good question but how do you put smaller tyres on bigger wheels?

also i think it only can have Lego tyres and no 3rd party

Small colored custom decals are allowed.

Smaller tires on largers wheels is allowed too.

[zux]

Probably similar to this case

[HorcikDesigns]

Thanks. I the combination of 81,6 tire and 56 rim ( something like this: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/efferman/willys-jeep/104_8048.jpg )

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

Probably similar to this case

ooooh yeah like that thanks

[Jim]

To avoid discussion at the end of the contest; I'd like to stress that the model needs to do more than guns popping out.

Jeroen has created a fantastic MOC, but the functionality he used is not enough:

Be aware of this.

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

ok thinking about that

[dhc6twinotter]

Jim, can you clarify whether or not Mad Max style is allowed? Some of the discussion makes me think there are going to be some Mad Max style entries.

[mahjqa]

In normal mode the vehicle needs to look like a normal vehicle, without visible weapons, armor, etc.

[Jim]

Exactly!

Mad Max style means to me that the vehicle will have visible armor plating and other strange modifications. This is NOT what I'm looking for in normal model. Like Mahjqa quoted; in normal mode, the vehicle needs to look like a normal vehicle (more or less).

In battle mode you can go nuts! So your vehicle can have Mad Max style in battle mode, but NOT in normal mode.

Jim, the previous contests had rules around the number and type of pictures that could be included in the entry post. There are no such constraints this time, unless I missed something during the three times I checked the rules. Do we have more leeway this time around?

I can be flexible with the number of videos and pictures this time.

The rules will be stated in the Entry Topic, but don't worry too much about it.

10 pictures will probably suffice, right?
