KimT Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 And welcome back. You had a few people scared there They're getting anxious to post their entries. KimT Quote
Oky Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Sweet! The entry thread is open! I submitted my vignette entry! It portrays the badass first appearance of General Grievous from Star Wars: Clone Wars, Chapter 20! What do you think? I will return from vacation at June 28th and will try to add a bignette entry in the remaining 2 days. Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Looks pretty cool! Ki is classic, but I'd suggest a more... How to say... 'Radical' look to the Jedi on Ki's left; he didn't quite look THAT archaic... And why can't we see the third Jedi? Tell me it isn't a blank head... I'd say just use the basic lefty smile for the padawan whom Greivous pwns. And I'd suggest raising Greivous up a bit more, but from what it looks like, you did a really good job stating the wreckage around the Jedi. This would be a fun bignette to do... Quote
Clonecommando007 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Posted June 15, 2008 Oky Wan Kenobi, 1. Your Vignette must be built on an 8x8 stud base. Is your vignette on such a base? I can't really tell... Quote

I will return from vacation at June 28th and will try to add a bignette entry in the remaining 2 days. nice! i saw this on youtube a while ago and loved it! maybe when Ashoka is released you can make a Shaak Ti and add it to this? nice Ki, btw. oh, and the contest doesnt end until the 30th of July, so dont worry.

yorkiejim Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I Just added my entry, is it ok if there are links to the pics? Quote
jifel Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 going on vacation tomorow, so i wont post my entries yet, but i will hopefully when im back. nice vig, oky! hope yours does good (but not TOO good ) cant wait to see your bignette! jifel Quote

And I'd suggest raising Greivous up a bit more, but from what it looks like, you did a really good job stating the wreckage around the Jedi. This would be a fun bignette to do... Thanks! And no, it's not a blank head! It's a Sam Wesel head representing K'Kruhk. You can see it in the new pics I added. Click here to see the fig. I thought about that padawan too, but he is dead already in this scene! As for the other Jedi, it's supposed to be this guy: So, you're probably right in saying that he should look more original. I thought about using a tan cone on his head, with a black string sticking out at the top for the hair, but it looked kinda wierd and too similar to Ki-Adi's head. So I went with the generic Jedi hood. Perhaps I'll edit it once I get back from vacation. You are also right about Grievous hanging kinda low, but I wanted the wreck construction to be as round as possible, and I couldn't make it any larger because of the hang-over rule. Besides, I think it looks fine. And yes, a "Battle of Hypori" bignette would be pretty neat! If you wanna make one, go for it! Oky Wan Kenobi,Is your vignette on such a base? I can't really tell... Yes, it is, but it has a 1 stud overhang on each side. You can click the link to my Flickr photostream I added to my entry to get a better view of it. Do you need me to post a pic of the side to prove that the back hangs over only 1 stud as well? nice! i saw this on youtube a while ago and loved it! maybe when Ashoka is released you can make a Shaak Ti and add it to this? nice Ki, btw. oh, and the contest doesnt end until the 30th of July, so dont worry. OOOOOOH! I see! Whew! And I thought I wouldn't make it! I thought the whole thime that it said June! I guess that eye surgery last month was no good after all. And you are right: This does mean that we can still incoorporate the new Clone Wars sets! Idk about Shaak, though. From Ahsoka, you could only use the hair (or horn) piece. Shaak's head would have to be a custom. Is there a Shaak Ti head decal somewhere? Can someone provide a link please? If there is, I might consider following your advice, Jim. It would probably raise the number of votes! Quote
Axel Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Oky Wan, I stare in admiration at your skill to make stuff appear greebly without using greebles. Now let's see how my vignette's greebling goes up against yours. Now...time to dissasemble my vignette and start on my bignette... Quote
KimT Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Mkay I'd love to have your entries as part of the index. But for me to do that, I need You to start a topic on your entry. That would simplify the indexing and would also prevent the entry thread and this thread from being reduced to comment threads. So post away and I'll have You indexed in no time. May the Force be with You and good luck to all in the competition. KimT Quote
Skipper 24 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I just posted hear are my views of the entries so far Oky-Wan Kenobi I haven't seen the series so I don't know if it's accurate but a great wall technique Yorkie jim Really big which is good. It would have been nice if all the clones were from the same legion so they had the same decals on maybe just like stickers would do. But oh well. The bunker is nice too. I scream Clone Amazing obi wan falling in water technique . maybe just a AT-TE canon would do but this is fine. Commandosevy I don't understand the second pic but the first one is to unclear to make out Kit Fisto. You should upload them to brickshelf or flickr or something. Skipper 24 well there mine so go check them out Good luck guys Edited June 18, 2008 by Skipper 24 Quote
KimT Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Thread has been pinned again. Good luck everybody. KimT Quote
filefolders Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 If only the prizes motivated me more. Read my signature. [sentence removed] Do not try to convince me otherwise. EDIT: You are entitled to your opinions. But please refrain from using flaming language. KimT Quote
yorkiejim Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 thanks skipper 24,, its not my best Bignett ever but it was worthy of an entry. as for the clones, i only had clormies from battle packs on hand (i intended on having phase 1 troops insted) the reason they are from all different legions is because i just grabbed a handful of them and put them in a pose. as for the parts i thought that the bright coulers of original lego bricks would best fit the cartooneyness of the clone wars series. -York Quote
Oky Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Well, there are mine, so go check them out! Vignette: Cute. Simple, but effective. If you are looking for a way to raise the brick count and make it look more interesting, may I suggest a brick-build tree to put in the corner behind the two wookiees? Bignette: Very nice! It's like a Best-Of of the Geonosis Arena Battle! I like how much is going on in one scene; it makes you pay attention to the details! However here are some suggestions for improvement: 1. The Balcony feels kind of incomplete. So how about adding some tiles and/or other smooth bricks and creating a bow for the SBDs to come through? 2. If you want more Phase 1 clones and a better commander, you can wait until July 26th and get the new CW sets to add them to your bignette! 3. The Geonosian with the burning buns is missing his wings! (Or have they been shot or burned off? ) Overal good Job though. Commandosevy: I'm sorry, but could you take/post some larger pics? I can't see anything on those thumbnails!

Iceman03 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) When does this end? Ive got a great bignette and i need to know right away. Thanks Mever mind i found out it was july 31st thanks anyways. Edited June 17, 2008 by Iceman03 Quote
I Scream Clone Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I scream CloneAmazing obi wan falling in water technique . maybe just a AT-TE canon would do but this is fine. I don't understand the second pic but the first one is to unclear to make out Kit Fisto. You should upload them to brickshelf or flickr or something. Im confused, mine doesn't have Kit Fisto in it anywhere?! Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Skipper, several comments on your entries: Vig: Maybe add some shrubbery. I notice with chagrin that there is no extension over the edge. You can extend, you know, but only as long as you don't make your entry 10x10. Big: Don't mix fleshie and yellow. I'd suggest getting an Epi. 2 Obi-wan. Also those Jango legs are fantastic... And I like how you did Mace... Lucky boy to get the non-LULS Mace... And yes, ISC's entry neither has Kit in it nor did he mention Kit nor does the actual movie scene feature Kit. Probably just a BIG misunderstanding... Quote
Iceman03 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Ok, I just added mine. I'm sorry i didn't put the pics on but i did give you guys a link to my brickshelf. Quote
Oky Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 trooperdavinfelth: Your entry is very nice but I don't understand one thing: What the heck is Jango doing in the CW era? The CW started after he died. Or is this some kind of special clone of him or something? Some explanation please? Rook: Sweet! Go R2! Burn, SBD, burn! Iceman03: Both sound interesting. I wonder who gets shot on Kashyyk. Did you ever wonder how they had an underground base so quickly at Hoth? Interesting idea. Maybe you should include a wouwie13 sigfig somewhere in this bignette! (You know, because of this. ) About your pics: Doesn't deeplinking work? Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) trooperdavinfelth: Your entry is very nice but I don't understand one thing: What the heck is Jango doing in the CW era? The CW started after he died. Or is this some kind of special clone of him or something? Some explanation please? This took place before the Battle of Geonosis on Kamino when Jango was still roaming about the planet. The Seps needed some time to build Project 13(coming soon!) so they were hunting far and wide to find it... Edited June 18, 2008 by trooperdavinfelth Quote
Oky Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Deeplinking? Yes. Click here for a tutorial. This took place before the Battle of Geonosis on Kamino when Jango was still roaming about the planet. The Seps needed some time to build Project 13(coming soon!) so they were hunting far and wide to find it... If it was before Geonosis, it's not during the CW, and doesn't this disqualify this vig from a contest where you have to build something from the CW? However, if it is somehow linked with something from the CW, it should be OK, I guess. I'm looking forward to your bignette (which will feature something about Project 13 from during the CW, right? ) and the upcoming pics that are supposed to tell the story of your vig! Quote
I Scream Clone Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Deeplinking? Just click on your pic on brickshelf until its on a white background page, then copy the address from the browser, then when you post, there is a button called 'insert image' when you click it paste the address there and hit enter the address should have on both ends. This took place before the Battle of Geonosis on Kamino when Jango was still roaming about the planet. The Seps needed some time to build Project 13(coming soon!) so they were hunting far and wide to find it... Hey Trooper nice Vig, but im pretty sure CC007 stated that you can only post one pic of your vignette and bignette and link to the rest. Cheers and GL everyone Quote
Iceman03 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks, Ive figured out what deeplinking is. Quote
