Posted July 24, 201113 yr Sometimes we have a LEGO set that don't likes us anymore, so we decide to use the same bricks to create something that pleases us more. That's today's contest: use the bricks of a small LEGO set and built something amazing (or try to do that, at least... ). For this contest I chose a little promotional set, the 7270, that seems to me perfect for this challenge: it is small, its bricks are not too easy to use, and it is ugly enough to encourage us to create something else! Rules: - Post your entry in this topic. - You creation can be of anything - your imagination is the limit. - Use (somehow) all bricks in the original set to make your creation. - Give a title or a name to describe you creation. - Insert a picture of your creation. Extra picture can be inserted as text link. Avoid gargantuan images, the set is very small! - Insert a link to the lxf file too. - If a creation is very very similar to another, only the first posted will be accepted. - Only one creation per user. - Participants should have 10 posts at least, and have to joined to EuroBricks before july 20th. - The contest will stay opened for 1 week (until sunday july 31st at midnight, Greenwich). At the end of the contest there will be three top builders: - One decided by public vote - One as a raffle - One picked by staff (Jury: Calabar, LuxorV, Rufus, Superkalle) For the winner... the glory, and perhaps a small thing. Here is a ready lxf file with all the bricks you have to use. Good luck and have fun! Final Results here!
July 24, 201113 yr Author Rules for Voting - Each user have to vote three models, and for each assign from 1 to 3 points (but at least one model shall have 3 point assigned) - Only users that joined the forum before july 20th and with more than 10 posts can vote. - Don't vote your own creation, or the whole vote will be cancelled. - Vote only the entries listed below, reporting number, author, name. - The vote closes sunday August 07th at midnight (Greenwich).

July 24, 201113 yr Cargo Plane Other images: Front Back LXF File -Toa Of Justice P.S. Can I have more than one entry picture, or only one picture per entry? EDIT: Thanks, Calabar. I have added two additional image links. Edited July 24, 201113 yr by Toa_Of_Justice
July 24, 201113 yr This is the Flyduck. It's a boat with adjustable wings to allow for flight. 7270 - Flyduck.lxf Edited July 25, 201113 yr by Yoshi648
July 24, 201113 yr My entry is entitled "Buzzy the Bee". It is meant to be a bee hovering a flower but the flower kind of failed because of the lack of pieces . I'm happy with the bee though It uses all the pieces and NO extras. LXF: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/GeorgeG/BuzzytheBee/bee.lxf Edited July 25, 201113 yr by George G.
July 24, 201113 yr bionicle of the seventies LXF I changed the design to get better proportions and deadlier weapon. It will surely break easily in real life, but in LDD it works fine. Edited July 25, 201113 yr by LDDtechnician
July 24, 201113 yr Author @Toa_Of_Justice Oh, that's a good question. I think that a single image is adequate, but you can post an extra image if necessary. Other images can be inserted as text links. Another important thing: participants have to provide lxf files! Rules updated.
July 24, 201113 yr (snip) Another important thing: participants have to provide lxf files! (snip) And how might we do that? I don't think I've done it before..... Am I being an idiot and is it really easy
July 24, 201113 yr Author And how might we do that? I don't think I've done it before..... You can zip the file and than use the attachment function of the forum, or create a brickshelf account to share both the image and the lxf file, or use another file hosting with direct link!
July 24, 201113 yr Heres my entry otherwise I'll forget! A nice quick mini space moc! The Phoenix Dropship Military vessel equipped to carry deformed roosters. The pilot often wishes he could scrap the ship and rise again... Additional image - Rear View LXF File - LXF - Good luck all and happy building! Catty
July 24, 201113 yr I've also built a dropship :) but hopefully it's different enough from the post above me ^ The Arcangel Dropship The shuttle bay, visible on the underside of the ship, has the capacity to hold two shuttles. It currently only contains one (the red slope). Underside showing shuttle bay Dropship (7270 Parts).zip Edited July 24, 201113 yr by Darkblane

July 25, 201113 yr Weirdo In the not too distant future, one of mankind's more unique robots was designed. The design was named after their inventors nick-name, and her was involved in a small incident at the local public swimming pool. The LXF file can be found here!
July 25, 201113 yr This is a really neat contest, Calabar! It was quite difficult to come up with a model that I thought looked good and used all the parts. Here it is, inspired by the video game series "F-Zero": Hypersonic Hornet A high-speed hovering race craft. Streamlined and with big engines for maximum speed! This is the view you'd generally see if it were in an F-zero game. And finally, the LXF Hope you all like it! Edited with the creation name, I'd forgot to include it Edited July 26, 201113 yr by Daedalus304
July 25, 201113 yr Red Faced Monkey-Lion The most dangerous of all the red faced animals. Also: Rear View LXF file Edited July 25, 201113 yr by the last chronicler

July 25, 201113 yr This challenge gave me a headache but it was still fun to try. I present to you, the Hydra Speed Boat. It can travel in and above the water. Heres the link to the galery and the ldd file. Hydra Speed Boat
July 25, 201113 yr This is a cool contest. I am always amazed at what some people can come up with so limited amount and shape of pieces! So I decided to give it a go and created: Deep Jungle Totem And the .lxf file Hope you like it and good luck to everyone! Edited July 26, 201113 yr by MstrOfPppts
July 25, 201113 yr Space Cruiser: I managed to turn the, err, unique bird into a mighty Space Cruiser. =) Note, If the pics too big ill fix it, i just uploaded at the normal size for most pics uploaded (800x600) Edited July 25, 201113 yr by GeneralTalon
July 25, 201113 yr Here is my first ever attempt at LDD design. Little Boat By bendybadger at 2011-07-25 When it gets rough simply lift the plank Like This Hopefully all done correctly Comp.lxf Edited July 25, 201113 yr by Bendybadger
July 25, 201113 yr The LU Scorpion Interceptor, has three modes of travel... The first is landing and under water mode, the wings act as her landing gear The second is high speed travel through space, with her wings straight out. The third is battle mode and if I had more parts you would have seen the scorpions tail, oh well. I kept the images small because I wasn't sure how to do a link up There sure are some awesome creations here... Keep on Brickn' eh...The legodac Brickerage Firm Sorry, still trying to figure out this lxf thing, if I'm to late I won't be disappointed if my entry doesn't qualify 7270 - Pieces.lxf (Thanks Calabar, I hope this works) Edited August 3, 201113 yr by legodac
