Svelte Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 amazing, svelte-corps! great MOC, i love the hidden underground passage! this is the best one for me so far. and you know who Felicity reminds me of? The girl from that one 007 movie... ugh, i cant think of the name... but the one with the huge pipe, and Bond goes to this nuclear testing area, goes skiing with the girl, and the princess is the bad guy who blew up the pipes to kill Bond... and M had to come to the mission... help me out here guys! Batbrick could tell you - he's the Bond expert. The Agents line inspired him to watch all the films again so it must be fresh in his mind Quote

Elektra King, daughter of Sir Robert King, major oil tycoon. While the film is not the best I personally believe her to be one of the best villains of the recent films. Batbrick could tell you - he's the Bond expert. The Agents line inspired him to watch all the films again so it must be fresh in his mind , thanks, I love 007 films so much, and Agents! Batbrick Away! Quote
JimBee Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Elektra King, daughter of Sir Robert King, major oil tycoon. While the film is not the best I personally believe her to be one of the best villains of the recent films. , thanks, I love 007 films so much, and Agents! Batbrick Away! yes, thats the movie, but not the girl. Im talking about the good one. And whats the movie called? I want to say Octopussy, but tats wrong... thanks, BatBrick. And sorry for getting off topic. ...i wonder if anyone is going to enter a 7 wonders of the world indy movie? i bet that would be interesting. Quote
meschepers Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I think you are referring to Christmas Jones (played by Denise Richards) from The World is Not Enough (in my opinion Pierce Brosnan's best Bond film). Quote
JimBee Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 yes! thats it! The World is Not Enough was the movie i was thinking of, thank you. so yeah, Felicity in your story, svelte-corps, reminds me of that girl that was in TWINE. the one with 007, the one who deactivated the bomb (almost). Quote
Oky Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Wow! Nice entry, svelte Corps! You might just have my vote! The story sounds more like an episode from some kind of Indy TV show or something than a movie plot, though. But that's fine as it is quite well written! The MOC is great, especially that Silver Swan! It's kind of odd that it doesn't have a body, but since it's supposed to be a piece of art of sorts, that's not important. Besides, it's still fantastic to look at! All the functions, details, and hidden areas of the piece are great as well! Good job! Btw, I've made up my mind : My movie is called "Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Philosopher's Stone"! I already know an interesting location for the stone to be hidden that I can build! It's not gonna be a MOC as great as some of yours but I think it should turn out nicely ... if I can get it done in time that is... And you know what else? I think it's a good thing that Nadroj entered his ant-MOC! The fact that he entered an old MOC will decrease his number of votes! Sorry, SirNadroj, but you're just a too darn good MOCer! Quote
Matn Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I have also entered. I sure hope I am going to get some votes this time, but the other entries are very good. Quote
JimBee Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I like your MOC, Matn, but the story was a little hard to follow and short. How does it end? What are the other two tasks? otherwise, great idea. Quote
Matn Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Thanks, I'll edit my post with the other tasks and the ending. Quote
Siegfried Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 To avoid any time zone confusions, there is 2 days to go as of this post. Tomorrow I will go though all the entries and confirm that they conform with the rules. Thus it could be smart to check back here in the next day or two to ensure that your entry is good. Thanks everyone for entering. Quote

Siegfried Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 I just went though the entries and I feel motivated for some reason to remind people of this rule... Pictures should be less than 800x600. Images bigger than that could be deleted depending on how grumpy I get. I might note that this isn't just a competition rule, it's a site rule. I'm not grumpy enough to disqualify entires... but I will probably end up taking a few votes off any one with an image above 1000x1000. The reason for this rule is simple politeness; people want to be able to view the entries as fast as possible, and they can't if they need to download 12 2000x2000 images. Remember, there's still over a day to reduce the images. Aside from that one complaint I can't see any other problems and I'm looking forward to the voting! Quote

Siegfried Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 Navy Trooper Fenson Nice stupidly huge entry... but you seem to have forgotten the "no more than 10 mini-figs" rule; I can count at least 20... Quote
Oky Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Hi! I'm finishing up my entry right now and I have a question: Do loose minifig body parts such as a severed head count as a whole minifig? Edited June 30, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote

Skinny Boy Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I just tried resizing my pics, it loads faster for me, but I dont think it did anything. Quote
Shoc Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Aaagh! I should get the camera working, and post my entry, quick! :skull: Phew! I managed to submit my entry - Indiana Jones and the Serpent Altar of Quetzalcoatl. Please check it out! There are so many great entries, it's going to be a tough contest. I certainly don't expect to win. :skull: Quote
Siegfried Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 There is 8 hours to go as of this post. I'll be starting on thumbnailing soon so if anyone changes their images after this time please tell me... Quote
JimBee Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Nice entry, Oky Wan! But you'd better hurry, I think the contest ends in a few hours... great MOC though, i might vote for it, but svelte corps's is awesome too... desicions, desicions... Quote
Oky Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Thanks, Jim! Yes, as you can see, I have just made it to enter too! Whew! For more pics and additional behind-the-scenes info, visit the seperate thread and leave your comment please! Sorry that I got carried away with the storytelling a little! Quote
Siegfried Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Time's up! I'll try to have the poll up tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who entered. Sorry that I got carried away with the storytelling a little! Not possible! Quote
Siegfried Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 It's time to vote! Sorry I took so long... Quote
Siegfried Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Well the voting is over, and we have a winner; svelte_corps with 36 points! (Runners up were Batbrick at 26 and Oky Wan Kenobi with 23.) Congrats svelte_corps for not only being a good reviewer but a good MOCist as well! Oh, and 75% of the voter thought SlyOwl's MOC was odd. I want some of what he's having... EDIT: My maths sux in the morning... Quote
