Kai NRG Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Anyone planning a last minute ambush in this showdown then? Well, if I can make a gas station in two days, I think I just might... (I do have a really great idea, but I'm running out of time and have a few other projects that must be finished before the end of the month as well...) Quote
jonwil Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 If it wasn't for the fact that all my relevant parts are tied up in an Octan petrol station that was both built too early and built too big (32 x 48 rather than 32 x 32), I would definitely have entered this contest. Quote

(I do have a really great idea, but I'm running out of time and have a few other projects that must be finished before the end of the month as well...) Ah ha! so a 2 day build, that's going to be challenging for you..... whats the really great idea? promise I won't tell anyone.... If it wasn't for the fact that all my relevant parts are tied up in an Octan petrol station that was both built too early and built too big (32 x 48 rather than 32 x 32), I would definitely have entered this contest. Ah yes that was a nice little (well large) servo! Cant you just, I don't know cut the back of it off? or just submit it. No one will notice it's got a bit of overhang. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 What overhang......clever photography I suggest.......remember the art of war everyone ! Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Ah ha! so a 2 day build, that's going to be challenging for you..... whats the really great idea? promise I won't tell anyone.... Well, (yes if I post it here everyone will know, but it doesn't really matter) it's not exactly your typical gas station... more like whatever cross you'd get if you had a gas station in a space station (an outer space gas station )... and now you see why I've been putting it off?

Now that would be something unique. I came across some futuristic 'electric servo's' in my search for inspiration in this contest and thought about giving them ago but they would take to long to build so I can see your Delmar. Nice thought though! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Futuristic eh ?........suggestion Red Dwarf themed gas station......what the smeg ?! Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah, the idea wasn't exactly futuristic as much as a white floating gas station like building with solar panels sticking out all over it (admitedly I'm not quite sure myself what it should look like)... but since I haven't started even (trying to wrap up another end of march deadline project), I doubt it will be too fancy - if I even make it! (No, I haven't completely given up... ) Quote
jonwil Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 One MOC idea I have had is to build an Octan station following the standards of the old Moonbase idea. Too bad the airtanks part doesn't come in green :( Quote

Aussie BJ Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Something like this would be interesting. Maybe our kids kids will be using them. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Now that's an odd pay-at-the-pump design eh ? I wonder where the windscreen wash bucket is ? Quote
greg3 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Hoping to get my entry finished in time... Fingers crossed!! Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Here's mine; LCM, would it be permissible for me to edit it later with some more text and pictures after the deadline? I am pressed for time now and won't be back until monday! Thanks! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80993 Quote
Tarpal Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Another entry! Cool! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81008 Quote

lightningtiger Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Ah, the final hours are coming and as of yet.....the battle master hasn't made an appearance ? I wonder if there are any more late entries ? Quote
Zed_43 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I guess we have to choose one photo for the final voting topic, right? So, here is mine (with the link to my entry): http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=80831 Good luck to everybody who entered the contest! Edited April 1, 2013 by Zed_43 Quote

SalvoBrick Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 And here's the final picture with my entry link: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=80473 I hope someone will like mine :) Quote
LegoCityMann Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 8 hours to go! I will post my final pics tomorrow since I am not eligable for my own prizes. LoL Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 8 hours to go! I will post my final pics tomorrow since I am not eligable for my own prizes. LoL Ah, thanks for clearing that last bit up.....I said to myself the other day....why is 'LCM' entering his own contest ? Quote
Xyver Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 These are all great, they're giving me lots of inspiration on how to change my plain servo into something better, mainly the roof sections. I was never going to have time to enter, but everyone who has, has done a wonderful job. Good luck to you all. Quote
