Axel Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 After viewing Nadroj's vignette, I don't agree with my previous staement anymore. My original was: We are all going to get out rear ends kicked. My new one... We are DEFINITELY going to get our rear end's kicked... Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Hey, I entered! Thought I'd tackle my favourite ship. And I used lifelites! Ya have to post the pics in the entry thread and discuss them here. I know, it's confusing... As for your entry: It looks great! But why are the topmost red lights on the wings blurry? Photoshop? As for the life-lites, I hate to say it, but they don't really give it the intimidating look the Empire has. The Empire is brute force, not mysterious lights. But if you had different colored lights it might look better. But, of course, they are still cool. Anakin's hair looks kinda... Strange. It seems more swept back. Can I see a pic from the front? I'd much like to see more pics of it... And a bigger area with more Jedi and more Jedi Temple ruins wouldn't be unhealthy... P.S. I like the Rodian Jedi. Quote

I like the Rodian Jedi. I did. I don't like having to go to the entry thread, then back, then back again.... That's whats conufsing! Thanks! The top wing is blurry because when I went to photograph it at that angle, it was too tall, and that part of the wing wasn't against my canvas, so I had to make it look nice, white and clean. Not sure what you mean.... it's just lights on a ship. I used blue and red... Anakin's hair is by Arealight ~ thought I'd throw one of the sponsor's products. Here's a pic with the younglings: Couldn't fit anything else on the base....the main attraction is the ship, not the temple, the statue was an extra. Thanks very much for the feedback! I do appreciate it! Quote
Clonecommando007 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) I don't think anyone stands a chance. Aww...I knew some people were gonna come along and make a sweet entry, that's why there are four prizes for each division! On another note, Wuzzupbob has announced that for the fourth place in both divisions, he will give the prize recipent a choice of any figure he has ever created; he will re-create it for them! Keep in mind that some of these figures have sold for over $100, so getting fourth place is a real bargain! I still love that door. Edited June 23, 2008 by Clonecommando007 Quote

That's the fun of a contest! The sponsors of the contest are really great, and very generous! Hats off to them! (And our host! ) Quote
Numbuh23 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Pretty much! Nice bignettes btw, TDF & Numbuh 23! What are those triangles in the ground supposed to be, 23, rocks? You might want to try to make them look a little more 3-dimensional. Also, it would be very nice if you would get the RGS once it comes out, and switch the heads of Plo Koon and the scout trooper with the new ones! (although the ones you used work pretty well ) Is the Scout Trooper a reference to Indy Month? CW Contest ON! Thanks For The Feedback, To Be Honest, This Is My First MOC Built With SNOT, So I Didn't Know Any Other Way To Make Rocks Like That. I Might Buy RGS, It Has My Favorite Jedi, Plo Koon, So I Should Get It. The Scout Troopers Head Was Built Like That Because It Kind Of Looks Like Jango Fett. I Have Already Taken It Apart For More MOCs And It Would Be Fun To Make It Again With More Things To Fix On It. SirNadroj: Very Impressive! For Anakin, I Would Of Gone With The Dark Flesh Long Hair, Like In The Sets, But Other Than That, Its Great, It'll Kill My Entry. Good Luck To Everyone! Quote
Justin2224 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Ok I got it built,(my vig) but i cant seem to find a good place to take it. i am using my moms camera, a Kodak Easy Share, but I just cant get a good pic!!!! I need help, any good place and time will help Quote
JimBee Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Ok I got it built,(my vig) but i cant seem to find a good place to take it. i am using my moms camera, a Kodak Easy Share, but I just cant get a good pic!!!! I need help, any good place and time will help theres a tutorial somewhere around here... but heres some quick pointers: - Use a completely white backround. I use marble or my bedroom wall liner (the wood near the floor), but not paper. that creates shadows. -use good lighting, three spotlights (the powerful outdoor ones) stratigically placed to point all in one spot helps alot. - use the Best Shot option of Macro, represented by a flower symbol or picture. Your camera will then take razor-sharp close up pics. -use soft flash ..hope these helped! oh and, Numbah 23, please dont use all caps for first letters in words. Its rather annoying to read. Thanks!

Oky Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I've posted my entry! Hope you guys enjoy! Yes! It's very nice! But you have way too much overhang! Also, why is the blaster bolt green when it is deflected? It should be the same color. Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Nice work, Justin! Looks really cool and I love those 202th guys on the top level! On a different note I'm almost done uploading my stuff to BS... Quote
CloneMe Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Ok mine are up. Tell me what you think. Enjoy. Quote
hollisbrick Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Yes! It's very nice! But you have way too much overhang! Also, why is the blaster bolt green when it is deflected? It should be the same color. Its a jungle, what do you expect! And the laser is green cas it has umm..touched the green light saber...yea Quote
Dark Sword Ragnarok Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Its a jungle, what do you expect!And the laser is green cas it has umm..touched the green light saber...yea I think the overhang is breaking the rules, isn't it? Quote
hollisbrick Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 What do you guys think the "single yet-to-be-announced custom figure" will be? I hope it is something Mandolorian like Quote
Dark Sword Ragnarok Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 What do you guys think the "single yet-to-be-announced custom figure" will be? I hope it is something Mandolorian like Actually, it was announced that whoever gets 4th place will get to choose any figure he has created before to have re-made. So start browsing his brickshelf account! Quote

CloneMe Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 sweet Whats his brick shelf account? Its wazzupbob or you could go on ebay and look for his figures there. Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Its a jungle, what do you expect!And the laser is green cas it has umm..touched the green light saber...yea Uhh, the contest only allows for an overhang of one stud. Sorry, mate... I really did like the vig... Quote
CloneMe Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Why are we being so god dang picky. I mean I could understand if it was building peices over hanging but these are just plants. Edited June 25, 2008 by CloneMe Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Why are we being so god dang picky. I mean I could understand if it was building peices over hanging but these are just plants. Honest to goodness I'm not saying anything; I mean, I don't want his vig to be disq'd but it's against the rules. I mean, he can just as easily point the plants inward and make it a more forested area... He said a 'one stud maximum of material over the edge', so I think plants are material...
