Posted May 1, 200816 yr The following have been selected to participate in the EB MOC Triathlon! -Willhelm Screamer -Exobuilder -SirNadroj -Ricecracker -VBBN I have sent them this message, detailing their first task: Quote Your first assignment will be to build in the History category: This covers anything that has actually or could have happened pre-1918, or is firmly associated with the past; for example, a castle wizard MOC is allowed as it is definitely in the past, although never happened, but a Harry Potter wizard MOC is not, as it is set in the present. A list of actual Lego themes allowed: -Wild West, Pirates, Castle, Ninja, Vikings, Adventurers, and all related themes and sub-themes -Steampunk, electropunk, magicpunk e.t.c are not allowed, but you will have an oppurtunity to build them later on. -Post-1918 army MOCs are not allowed, as they are too similar to current vehicles, but you will have an oppurtunity to build them later on. -Indiana Jones MOCs are not allowed, as they are a licensed theme, so do not fully reflect a builder's skill. -MOCs based on any form of media are not allowed, as the original concept is not your own. Remember, it must fit onto an area of 1500 square studs, and 3 photos 800x600. You have until 1st June to enter, or you will be disqualified. Do not create a thread for your MOC until after voting has finished. PM me your entry, with deeplinks/links to your photos and a description, and I will edit them into my first post. Rules This thread is for discussion; I will edit the entries into my first post. And the entries... Sir Nadroj: Peruvian River of Blood Join our team of explorers as the drift down Peru's most famous river, the "River of Blood", named because of the odd, red coloured water, blamed on the hundreds of years of sacrifices performed there. Startled, the adventurers relize they're about to go right over the falls, and disrupt a sacrifice! But the angry tribesmen are the least of their problems. Watch out for the llama! ExoBuilder: Wild West House Hello! I took a step out of my comfort zone to venture into the Wild West theme. I have zero experience in this so I'll let you guys be the judges, please tell me what you think. I got some help from TheBrickster on some of this, thanks Mam'! Onto the creation: I went for a color scheme I've always liked, old grey and tan. Here's the front of the house. I wanted it to look old, hence the roof looking all tattered. The interior is kinda bleak, I couldn't fit much into this. I put the necessities in it; Food, drinks, a bed and a table. This is the kind of house where you wouldn't be staying too long, sorta like a motel. The back, not too much to talk about here, it's just the back ~VBBN~: Roman Cathedral N.B. This is not complete - he ran out of time ricecracker: North Pole Expedition In the year of 1870, a group of 10 explorers and geographical experts set out for the north pole. They knew it would be dangerous, but not quite as much as it had been, they had already lost 7 members of the trip. As the last three were on the last trek to the pole, everything had been going smoothly. But in the middle of the trip, while they were in a valley of ice, they came across one last danger; open water AND a polar bear that were blocking their path. They sled musher was trying to get the dogs calm while his wife got out the rifle to kill the bear. The third and final trekker, who was killed in mountain climbing, tried to find a way around it, and just in case he made it all the way, he had a flag to place in the snow. The whole scene: Without the figs Just the figs (and animals) Wilhelm Screamer: Crown Knight Battle The Knights of the Kingdom of the Crown never really could catch a break.
May 1, 200816 yr And so the MOCing begins Good luck everyone. good luck indeed! btw, how many categories are there going to be
May 1, 200816 yr good luck indeed! btw, how many categories are there going to be I think he said there was going to be three
May 1, 200816 yr WHOOOOOOO ! Yes! But Why me of all people did you select me? None the less I am overjoyed to have been chosen and must start building....
May 2, 200816 yr Author Firstly, don't worry too much; you can make up for a bad MOC with another good one But Why me of all people did you select me? None the less I am overjoyed to have been chosen and must start building.... I only received 5 applicants, so you got in by default, as did the rest
May 3, 200816 yr Almost done with my entry. I guess it could be considered "Adventurers", but its not.
May 3, 200816 yr I'm a bit confused as to the size... Can you please explain? Is a 32x32 baseplate the laege grey one?
May 3, 200816 yr Author I'm a bit confused as to the size... Can you please explain? Is a 32x32 baseplate the laege grey one? No, the large grey one is 48x48. The area you are allowed to use is 1500 square studs, which is a 32x32 plate and a 32x16 plate stuck together, or a 32x48 plate (castle CRAPPs). However, if you do not have these plates, you may use a 48x48, as long as it only covers a depth of 32 studs.
May 3, 200816 yr I only received 5 applicants, so you got in by default, as did the rest Hm... I think you scared everybody off with your "don't-enter-if-you're-not-good-enough" attitude in the first post. Perhaps I should have applied as well... Oh well, too late now! Good Luck everyone, I am looking forward to seeing what this competition will bring out in you!
May 4, 200816 yr Damn it, too late! Only one thing to do left: Good luck guys and make a nice LEGO Ironman out of it! Edited May 4, 200816 yr by zero1312
May 4, 200816 yr This actually should be in the 'Other Themes' forum. Sorry for the confusion. I just moved the other thread in the first place in case people hadn't seen it who would want to join in. Thanks for your patience. Triathalon On!
May 4, 200816 yr Can I ask how they got to be chosen? Will others like my self join later on? Btw does SW count since it was a long time ago
May 4, 200816 yr Author Hm... I think you scared everybody off with your "don't-enter-if-you're-not-good-enough" attitude in the first post. I only said please be prepared to fulfill the requirements and don't be upset if you're not chosen I'm finished with my entry, and I PMed you, SlyOwl! And entered! Can I ask how they got to be chosen? Will others like my self join later on? Btw does SW count since it was a long time ago They got chosen by PMing me their applications after reading the announcement thread. If you missed it then, you're too late And SW doesn't count as it's a licensed theme (and sci-fi), so it doesn't reflect the builder's full imagination

May 15, 200816 yr Author Just a friendly reminder that it is halfway through the month and only one person has entered I wonder if the next two categories will be "Present" and "Future" Pfft, nope
May 15, 200816 yr Yeah yeah yeah, we know! I'll probaly make mine a last minute entry, I'm still waiting on two Bricklink orders then it should be ready
May 15, 200816 yr Aw dang, this would've been sweet to join in! If only I knew! But it's allright, I'm going to really enjoy the creativity. Sir Nadroj's entry reminds me of Indiana Jones a tiny bit because of the explorer and the crazy asian looking boy behind him. There was also a woman who does look similiar to the girl in the MOC.
