legolijntje Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Introduction Welcome to this mini Official Sets made in LDraw contest, to (hopefully) boost the production of sets made in LDraw. :wink:The idea is that you get points for the amount of parts (in the sets) you submit. Even with 1 set (with at least more than 100 parts) you even have a chance of winning, but with more sets, you’re chance becomes bigger. The winners will be randomly choses from all participants, but imagane a large jar full with cards of the participants name: the more pieces, the more cards of your name in the jar. That means everyone has a chance of winning when submitting at least 100 pieces in one or more sets. Rules Only models that are new to the index and the topic are allowed for the contest, so please use this topic to book a set(s), to avoid that someone just uploads a set before you (and your entry results invalid). You can view the booked/submitted sets in the post below. Don't forget to also take a look in the normal index what's submitted in the past! Alternate models from a set will get the partcount from the file that's submitted. I use part counts according to Brickset. Please post your models in the "Official sets made in LDraw topic". The deadline is 24 January 23:00 (or 11 PM) UTC Prizes The winners will be randomly choses from all participants, but imagane a large jar full with cards of the participants name: the more pieces, the more cards of your name in the jar. Of course a contest has a prize, so this one also has a small prize. There are 5 polybags available: 30025, 30019, 30086, 30085 and 7808.The first winner may choose 2 polybags as first, the second winner may choose 2 polybags after him/her and the third winner gets the last one. Good luck everyone! You may use this topic also to dicuss the contest or ask questions. Quote

Palathadric Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 You should have told me about this contest before I started uploading the Ninja sets, so I would have more to add. I'll probably try to post all the Ninja sets. How long is the competition lasting? (If you said, and I didn't see then I'm seriously bonkers! ) Quote

It's 22 January 23:00 (or 11 PM) UTC Oh, and sorry about your already uploaded Ninja models, but I wasn't able to alert you... Quote
Wedge09 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I'm the first to 'book' a set: I'd like to upload the 7134 A-wing fighter. Only a question: 13 days are a bit short? Quote
legolijntje Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 I'm the first to 'book' a set: I'd like to upload the 7134 A-wing fighter. Only a question: 13 days are a bit short? (it were 14 days btw, it was launched yesterday ). That's 2 weeks, I don't think that's too short. It's a mini contest... But since most people only came here today or tomorrow (because of the frontpage) and it isn't a too long period, I'll add 2 more days. Quote
Palathadric Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Just in case you didn't get it from my first post. Ninja sets are, officially, booked. Quote
Calabar Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 @Palathadric Report, exactly, the setIDs of your booked entries. Quote
merman Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I wanna book set 42004 Technic mini Backhoe. Will upload the file tomorrow Quote
Palathadric Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 @Palathadric Report, exactly, the setIDs of your booked entries. Oops, sorry. Well, I'm not sure if I've posted them all already, I think I must be missing one or two, but I won't bother to book those I haven't posted yet...maybe later. Quote
Calabar Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 @Palathadric Don't worry about posted/not posted. Report the whole list of SetID here. The list is useful even if the set has been already posted, because some other builder could post the set because it don't appear both in the index and in the "booked sets" list. Quote
Strikeman Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I'm working on 8043, but I'm having a bit of a problem with aligning the parts that are not in 90° positions. I normally don't care about mini mis-alignments, but I don't know how that's looked upon here ? Technic sets are a tad more difficult to make in MLCAD imho, but I understand if you don't want to have files that are only 99% correct ? Or, even better, maybe someone can show me how to turn an assembly on a certain pivot point ? maybe there's a plugin for this or so ? In case it doesn't matter (or there exists a plugin), I'd like to book 8043, this should give me a boost to finish it ... I only have the boom left to do to be honest, but that's where the mis-aligments are starting since the whole thing is in weird angles. Quote

I only have the boom left to do to be honest, but that's where the mis-aligments are starting since the whole thing is in weird angles. This is one of the major reasons why I prefer to use SR3D for Technic models. The might help you with MLCAD, though: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/easyrotation-en.html Quote
Eleven Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Sounds like a fun contest! I would like to book sets # 6923, 6956 and 6989. I will probably have more later, but I will post about those once I finish these three. Quote

der seb Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) sounds like I have to finish all my started works... Ok, so I book: 398 MSS Constellation 7635 4WD with Horse Trailer 10143 Death Star II 10174 AT-ST 10181 Eiffel Tower 10182 Cafe Corner 10184 Town Plan 10185 Green Groccer 10186 General Grievous 10190 Market Street 10194 Emerald Night 10196 Grand Carousel 10197 Fire Brigade 10198 Tantive VI 10211 Grand Emporium 10030 UCS Imperial Star Destroyer 10213 Space Shuttle 10214 Tower Bridge 10224 Town Hall Are they supposed to be 100% correct? Some of them I started a long time ago, so special parts were not available back then. I wil have a look over the modells if I can replace my custom compensatory-parts with the now available official parts. What about colors? Is there a color guide which color to use for e.g. light bluish gray, dark blue, dark red, ...? Edited January 11, 2013 by der seb Quote
Strikeman Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 some other bookings: 6381 - Motor Speedway 6384 - Police Station 6389 - Fire Control Center 6541 - Intercoastal Seaport 7835 - Manual Road Crossing I would also like to book, if at all possible, set 720, model B. This is a Basic Universal Building Set with different (non-numbered) building instructions (all pieces for the building instructions are available in the set), so I don't know if this is allowed ?

EdmanZA Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I'd like to book 7470-1: Space Shuttle Discovery-STS-31 Quote
legolijntje Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 [cut] Are they supposed to be 100% correct? Some of them I started a long time ago, so special parts were not available back then.

Is there a color guide which color to use for e.g. light bluish gray, dark blue, dark red, ...? Well, of course it needs to be 100% correct (except hoses (whic are possible though), stickers, decals and new parts if not available) About colors: LDraw has (mostly) the same color names as Bricklink, so that won't be very difficult. If you really don't know, you can take a look here (sadly that page is a bit outdated, maybe I/someone else should make a new one, some day)... Quote

Yes, if it are official Lego instructions, you can make the alternate models Quote

Palathadric Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Good things are in store for tomorrow! I just don't have time to upload them now and I'm too tired to start looking for their number. Quote
Strikeman Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Yes, if it are official Lego instructions, you can make the alternate models Great, then I'd also like to book 720 / submodel A Next to that one, I'd also like to book 6552 - Rocky River Retreat Quote
