Eurobricks/Classic-Town.net Collectible LEGO Minifigs Series 1 Contest

[WhiteFang]

If my vignette is similar to someone else's (i.e., based off a similar idea), can I still enter my vignette? I had no knowledge of the other entrants' creations prior to building mine.

Hmm. I believed as the long the entry is not completely the same with the submitted entries, it's still fine.

I've been lurking on here for a few months now after getting back into LEGO at the start of this year.

At Christmas I bought the Mindstorms NXT set after seeing what it was capable of and that just sort of devolved backwards into building with normal LEGO again.

I used to be obsessed with it when I was younger and am now clearly obsessed with it again after being inspired by the truly amazing MOCs that I've seen here and on other sites.

I'm currently working on a spaceship, which started of small and is steadily growing in size.

It's more of transport / cargo ship now than the sleek fighter it was intended to be ...

Anyway, I got hold of some of the new minifigs and your contest was the perfect opportunity for me to have go at creating a vignette and post something online.

Admittedly, my original idea didn't involve a cinema and didn't involve the Zombie, but somehow that's what I ended up creating.

Hello Darkblane, welcome to Eurobricks.

Good to see your introduction in here, why not head over here, so you can introduce yourself with the rest of the community.

This is a brilliant contest! I love the Idea of making a vig for the fig without putting the fig in !

Can one make as many vigs as they want? or even multiple vigs for the same fig? I read the rules, but I'm not sure I understood the wording.

I will definitely enter this contest! I've got a few Ideas and I'll be sure to post them as soon as I make them into concrete things!

I have my entry ready. Its not that great, especially compared the others already. But its worth a shot. Tomorrow I'll take some pictures and post them tomorrow/later.

[LegolasAzazel]

Hmmm.... i actually have one to mind...

[Dannylonglegs]

Great entry Sandy! I love the Idea of the play Robin-Hood being watched! Your little details behind the curtain such as the lights, are really well placed!

Just a question--can I make my entry post-apocalyptic? Nothing fancy or futuristic, just some destroyed stuff.

[JimBee]

Great entries so far, everyone. I particularly like the museum display for the caveman.

But I had a question regarding Peppermint M's entry: are we allowed to enter two vigs like that? Not to point fingers at her, but it does seem a little unfair if she gets two entries and everyone else gets one. Unless I am missing that the two are stacked on top of each other... Both are good looking, though.

By the way, my rock concert stage has been posted.

As long it's something related to Town and City, go ahead with it.

Peppermint_M???

Is it Inside_Iz? If so, I have taken a look at her entry and I was figuring whether this 2 are separate vigs or stacked above one another? However, I will like to emphasis that only one vig per entry for each member. Izzy, could you please make the adjustment accordingly?

Right now, I have evaluated the first 3 entries and I will take a closer look at the rest of it later. At this moment, I only took a quick glance at the rest of the entries and there are some great stuff down there.

It is only 1 8x8 base plate, with a second story

As long as it's something that could be set in a town, sure.

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

What about a western or medieval town?

What about a western or medieval town?

A western town is allowed, as long as it's kind of a modern situation, not a stagecoach robbery for example. No medieval towns.

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

So I can basically say that this would be some recreation of a Wild West scene, but would I have to have a modern civilian in the scene?

Yeah, that's who I meant. That's what happens when you have multiple topics open.

That's what I thought... just wasn't sure. Nice entry, BTW.

[Dannylonglegs]

Capt. Stabbin, you might want to add a modern fig to that and call in the renaissance Fair, cause right now that's a great example of what not to do Sorry.

Thanks Izzy but could you take a clearer image of the overall vig or maybe I see if I can edit abit.

As long the audience including myself is able to relate it to "Modern" Town or City perspectives, then you are fine.

I have informed Capt. Stabbin via pm earlier with regards to his entry.

Thanks.

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

Ok, I guess you'll just have to wait and see! Also, I'm not so sure that tiggerkiddo's entry will work because you should be able t display the fig in the vignette.

I have updated my entry to make it a little more "modern", and I think I like it even more! Thanks for the comments and clearing up the rules for me.

Thanks,

Dear Participants,

This time, Classic-Town.net is making a very dangerous "Zombies" coverage.

[Dunjohn]

My original idea wouldn't work for me on an 8x8 base so I've come up with something new and substantially more ambitious. A slight problem is, it may be difficult to tell where exactly the minifig is supposed to be in it. Would it be possible to put in a "proxy" minifig (I'm thinking all-white) in one of the photos? If not, no biggie; I can always put the minifig into a fourth image in the linked album if I can't describe it clearly enough in text.

Of course I can! I just ran and took that on my mobile as soon as I saw all the controversy I had caused. Hehe! I will take a good picture in the morning and add it to the rest in my photobucket album.

EDIT: Changed previous link to a better photo.

Some superb entries already. Especially like Sandy's theatre and Xiaan's coin-op spaceship, inspired!

I particularly like the museum display for the caveman.

Ach! That was the first idea that sprung to my mind but legitimatealex beat me to it! Not sure if doing the same thing would be a bit unfair now. Will have to go back to the drawing board...

Sandy and Cutlass Iz are featured in today's special - the Forestman - on Classic-Town.net

This I would like to know as well, Can I put in a random fig for reference on where the actual one would go?

Nope, but you can link to a gallery that includes such a picture and mention that in your entry, as you would thinking, Dunjohn.
