Siegfried Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 For those that don't read the front page, the contest has been extended about two weeks and there's now a prize. We've had some great entries so far in Whack-a-Fig II... including this great one from Sir Dillon! As an extra bonus we've added the obvious prize; a LEGO Minifigure Ice Cube Tray! Also the deadline has been extended to the 14th of April. Get your revenge! Quote
Dragonator Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I forgot to say when this started that I would love a good whack if anyone is willing. I'm probably a bit late, but I may as well say so. Let me see if I can find a picture... This one will do, from the conclusion to Mystical Castle no less. I don't normally have the BrickForge staff, so you can ignore that. I'll see if I can come up with something for this before the end date, it looks like fun. I can think of a couple of people who deserve a good whacking... Quote
LuxorV Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Entry is up! Enjoy it @ Dragonator - like all Staff, you've been automatically whackable since the beginning LuxorV Quote
Dunjohn Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Aah! I wish I'd known about this a month ago! I'll try to get cracking. Here's my sigfig. He's not a real minifig but he's something I idly threw together during my dark age so I'm kind-of attached to him: The tiles on his sides are 1x1 red gauges: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3070bp07 Quote
funkybrick Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I'd also like being whacked! :D Just use the fig shown in my avatar! Quote
Ratshot Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 I like the piano. Yes, the piano is really nice Quote
LuxorV Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Great entry Luxor. I like the piano. Yes, the piano is really nice Thanks both LuxorV Quote
Tobbe Arnesson Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 For those that don't read the front page, the contest has been extended about two weeks and there's now a prize. Yay! Now I might have the time to dig out my bricks from the attic so I can get my own sigfig. I know just what to build... Quote
WhiteFang Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Woo hoo, took the night off, to build a simple entry, just to whack Dragonator and Shadows! Hope you guys enjoy viewing this small entry of mine! So far, the entries are really very funny! Quote
Ratshot Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Thanks both What did you use to make the keys on the piano, a decal or an actual Lego printed tile? Edited March 29, 2010 by Ratshot Quote
LuxorV Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 What did you use to make the keys on the piano, a decal or an actual Lego printed tile? Just this pieces in white on a black plate, and half covered into the body of the piano LuxorV Quote
Jaller8240 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 You can use my fig. -Red astro helmet with gold visor -Commander fox armor with black oxygen pack(any kind) -dark red arms with black hands -dark grey legs Quote
Ratshot Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Just this pieces in white on a black plate, and half covered into the body of the piano I see, it looked like a printed tile to me, I might try to build one of those pianos. Quote
brickme Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I have a question, Let's say I have a 6x12 dark tan plate. I want to put my entry on this plate. Could I just occupy the 8x8 space? Like only moc on the 8x8 space? Quote
Siegfried Posted April 3, 2010 Author Posted April 3, 2010 I have a question,Let's say I have a 6x12 dark tan plate. I want to put my entry on this plate. Could I just occupy the 8x8 space? Like only moc on the 8x8 space? I'm confused. So you're saying that you want to use a 6x12 plate but will only use 8x8? How could you do that if it's only 6 wide... Quote
Ratshot Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) I'm confused. So you're saying that you want to use a 6x12 plate but will only use 8x8? How could you do that if it's only 6 wide... What about the overlap system, like in PTV. Instead of 8x8 it might be 6x10. You subtract from 1 side and add to the other. Edited April 4, 2010 by Ratshot Quote

Well that I'd understand, and I'd probably accept. 8x8=64 6x10=60 Seems fair, but 12x6=72 Isn't. Ya know, I've been reminded why I haven't been running vig contests for a while; all the denied requests makes me feel like a party-pooper. Quote
brickme Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I was saying something along the lines of only going up to 8x8 by adding two studs to the 6 stud side and only using 8 on the 12 stud side. The part of the plate would just hang over. Anyway I had a better Idea so ignore it. Quote
-JD- Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) Brickme-Why not make the entry on another baseplate (if you own one), but sticking to the 8x8 rule and only putting the contents in that stud area thus leaving the rest empty. I don't know whether that would be okay with Siegfried though. Edited April 4, 2010 by Jammiedodger714 Quote
brickme Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I submitted my entry and it follows all rules (I think). Thanks for all the advice though. It is appreciated Quote
-JD- Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 It looks great! IMO it looks like it has more landscape than it would on an 8x8 plate. Maybe it's just me... again... Quote
Rick Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Honored to be whacked. Nice entry brickme. Dragonator with a chicken leg on his helmet actually looks pretty good. Quote

If you want I'll take a pic of the 8 studs. Honored to be whacked. Nice entry brickme. Dragonator with a chicken leg on his helmet actually looks pretty good. Thanks, The chicken leg was from this morning when i put a dark blue plume on the top, a cicken leg in the front, and two flames on the sides of the helmet. Since it was just april fool's day I decided to keep it. Yes I always torture dragonator's sigfig now. I guess you could call it a hobby. Quote
General Magma Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 It is an honor to be whacked. Nice entry, brickme! The chicken leg looks funny on that helmet, especially when on Dragonator. ~ General Magma Quote
