Big T Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Wow what a contest, and even better, it's one I can convince myself that I have a shot at winning lol since it's a viginette and not 'build a ship' where those massive ones come into play lol. Thanks to the sponsors too! Quote
hollisbrick Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Wow this is an awsome contest nice work, still waiting for the alternate Moc comp though lol Those prozes are awsome as well Who or what is a Bignette? Quote
BlueDog Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I'm in. I have an idea what to build too. Or two. Or three. Or four. Or five. Or six. Well, I'm off to bricklink to buy me some EP.II clones. And droids. And weapons. And some other stuff. -Bluedog Quote
Axel Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I'm new to the forums, and this might or might not be obvious, but here's a question concerning the prizes. When you say that the winners get the amount of cash-worth of items, is the shipping fee included in it, or is it cimpletely free? Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Can it be from 4,5 and 6 movies as well? Like he said, it takes place between 2 and 3 during the Clone Wars so no Rebels or Imperials. Methinks I'll enter... I haven't built something in a long, long, time... Quote
Clonecommando007 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Posted June 3, 2008 I'm new to the forums, and this might or might not be obvious, but here's a question concerning the prizes. When you say that the winners get the amount of cash-worth of items, is the shipping fee included in it, or is it cimpletely free? That's a good question! But yes; it will be free, unless you go over your alloted prize limit, then you will have to pay for the extra and the shipping. Quote
yorkiejim Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) So, do we just post our entry here? EDIT: sorry, forgot to read the whole first post. Edited June 3, 2008 by yorkiejim Quote
Axel Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Another quick question! When the rules say maximum material overhang is one stud, does that include minfig weapons, arms and legs? Because as we all know, some minifig weapons are huge unwieldly things, and if it's at an angle, there's no definite way to calculate the overhang, right? Quote

Yes; by 'One Stud' I meant of like a vehicle or a building. You may have weapon or minifig overhangs; though it would probably look better if it was all on the base. Quote
commandosevy Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Do our Vignettes and Bignettes need to have walls?? Cause if so got to put some walls on. Quote
Clonecommando007 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 Do our Vignettes and Bignettes need to have walls??Cause if so got to put some walls on. Of course they don't need to have walls! It's up to you how you decide to organize your scene. Quote
commandosevy Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Of course they don't need to have walls! It's up to you how you decide to organize your scene. Whew! I was just wondering... Quote
yorkiejim Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Iv allready done alot of work on the bignette, now all i need to do is focus on the vig. Battle packs sure do come in handy! Quote
wuzzupbob Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I just want to personally wish all the participants the best of luck. It's going to be one tough contest and I cannot wait to see what kind of vignettes and bignettes come from this. Again, Good luck to all! Quote
hollisbrick Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 This may be a dumb question but who or what is a bignette??? Quote
Axel Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) A vignette is small representation of something, so I guess a bignette is just a bigger version of a vignette. Edited June 5, 2008 by Axel Quote
Oky Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) So, a bignette is square as well then? Anyway, I'm allmost done with my vignette entry. I just have a question: If we have one or more Jedi on our vignette who hold their lightsabers in such an angle that they reach over the edge of the vignette quite a bit, is that a violation of the rule that no more than 1 stud may look over that edge?

Axel Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 You may have weapon or minifig overhangs; though it would probably look better if it was all on the base. I believe we covered that already... Quote
Dragonator Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Right, I have another question. This is set before Ep III right? So can we use the Ep III clone troopers as seen in the battle packs, or would they have to be Ep II troopers, which not many people have? What do you think? Would it look better with Ep II troopers? Or should I instead use Ep III troopers (of which I have a much better supply)? In answer to Oky Wan Kenobi: From the description, a bignette is any scene larger than 8x8. So it could be from a 9x9 to a 23456150x4326056. Or even more, but that might get a little silly. At least that's how I see it anyway, correct me if I'm wrong. Quote

He stole my question But thanks for answering it Quote
Axel Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 dragonator, your description of a bignette is a lot more informative than mine. As for the Episode 2 Clones, I'm sure that clonecommando007 would say something along the lines of 'it's your choice. Do whatever you think looks good.' But, all assumptions aside, I would think that the Episode 3 Clones are the most ideal for the vignettes. It would actually depend on the timeframe you're depicting. I mean, yeah; there were a few clones that kept their Episode 2 phase 1 armour, but the majority would utilise the Episode 3 armour. So it's probably alright to combine both clone styles. Quote
yorkiejim Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I bought 4 Clone battle packs just to add to my ranks for this!! You didn't say anything about a Hight limit, did you? Quote
DarthPineapple Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Woo, very nice contest! (although I already knew this was coming) I will see what I can come up with, only a vignette though, I think. Quote
keetong Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 will the forum you postm your final vintage or bignetage be like a secret ballet because i don't want people seeing my creation until after the 31st of july Quote
