zz-80 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Is the vig also limited in height? I have at least 3 ideas in mind and I really should start to enter some contests here. :-D (I hope I have the time). Quote

I have at least 3 ideas in mind and I really should start to enter some contests here. :-D (I hope I have the time). [*]Vig must be built on and 8x8 base, overlap to your heart's content Does that answer your question ? Height isn't an issue ;-) Overlapping means that you can go beyond the 8x8 limit if and only if the 8x8 baseplate touches the table ;-) To illustrate, here is a MOC I did As you can see, I really expanded the 8x8 baseplate ;-) Hope that helped ;-) *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Hmmmm an interesting contest to say the least, so many ideas float through my mind though getting them on an 8x8 plate may be hard. Quote
xwingyoda Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Hmmmm an interesting contest to say the least, so many ideas float through my mind though getting them on an 8x8 plate may be hard. Overlap ON mate :-P *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Overlap ON mate :-P *yoda* Will have to i think. Quote
zz-80 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 OK cool thanks. Then let's bend the rules! yay! :-) Quote
xwingyoda Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Will have to i think. yeay me too :-P I just can't be construed to a single 8x8 baseplate X-D *yoda* Quote
Hobbes Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Nice contest idea *y* ... I already have some thoughts running wild in my brain *wacko* Btw, nice introduction vig; is it something from the Universal Soldiers movie with VanDamme or is it only coincidence :-$ ? LuxorV Ha! Guilty pleasure: I love movies featuring Dolph Lungren! :-$ But Universal Soldier...hmmm...I don't remember a wood chipping scene in that. I remember one with Steve Buscemi in Fargo! *sweet* To me it looks like a big red swan with a skeleton up its a$$... Quote
The Kid Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Brilliant, I have the perfect idea... >:-) I guess I'll enter it too! TK Quote
Hinckley Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 To me it looks like a big red swan with a skeleton up its a$$... Well, that might kill it... :-/ :-D :-D :-D Quote
Asuka Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 To me it looks like a big red swan with a skeleton up its a$$... So now I know at least a little about the true meaning of swan-hopping.... :-D *y* Quote
Sir Dillon Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Woah, another contest! :-D Great introductory vignette. Are we only allowed one entry? With the overlap, does that mean we could take a 16 x 16 scene and just stick it on an 8 x 8 plate to make it count? That doesn't really seem right to me. 8-| Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Awesome idea for a contest! I'm there! Dr. S. Quote

X-D and yes, only one entry. Yes you can stick a 16 x 16 scene over and 8 x 8 plate, go nuts. I don't have much respect for vig constraints. I like freedom in creativity. Doesn't seem right to you, huh? Well then, call the rules police. :-P :-P Quote
SirNadroj Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Hmmm, that contest promo picture of the skellie going into that big red shredder reminds me of how a very diatant relative was killed when cutting down a tree :-X .... weird! 8- Edited October 23, 2007 by SirNadroj Quote
hewkii9 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Two questions- I. May we do this in miniscale and kill a giant skeleton? II. May we be anachronistic? Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 My entry has been posted! Hope you like it! Dr. S. Quote
xwingyoda Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Hey Hinckie, I think that we need a max of pics in the entry thread ;-) Sorry DS, but having that many pics is quite annoying even if your entry is pretty cool ;-) I'm currently working on my entry hehe :-P *yoda* Quote
ZeekyBoogeyDoog Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I really like Doctor Sinister's entry, the MOC is so well designed and the first picture of the skellie infestation I found really funny :-D ! Btw, I love that woodchipper. Quote

xwingyoda Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Oh, apologies...I'll take a few out... No probs DS and tks for the edit ;-) Its kind of annoying browsing through numerous pics before getting to the next entry ;-) And I always click on links to see the more pics as possible ;-) OK I just finished my rustic entry and I shall post it tomorrow ;-) *yoda* Quote

Zarkan Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Man, yoda. Your eyes must be tired from all of that winking you're doing today. :-P Anyway, great idea for a contest, Hinckley! So great in fact, that I built my entry before I even wrote this post! I'll get a picture and bio up soon.... although what soon actually means has not been decided yet. X-D ~~END~~ Quote
TheFrisian Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I can't wait to see all the entrie in that contest ;-) I'm sure its going to be ghreat !! Same here! Glad to see the comments by Batbrick and myself sparked the idea for a great contest, can't wait to see all the entries! So far, I like what I've seen in the entry thread. If all the creations are this good, we'll have a hard time choosing which one is best! :-D Quote
