Actually, I hadn't noticed they were so small. You are absolutely right.

Working on a setup as we speak. First....coffee!

Great! Happy to help. I'm happy another contest is offered!

[Cumulonimbus]

@Jim Thank you for setting this competition up. I will give this one a shot.

I have a contest idea.. What about 100% lego built robots that assemble something out of lego? 

[msk6003]

How about crafting machine like latche, CNC, tablesaw....?

[Cumulonimbus]

I can't remember, but has there ever been a Technic motorcycle contest? If not, would there be enough interest in such a thing? I have seen many interesting creations in MOCs and non-Lego brands, so I would expect enough diversity to justify a motorcycle (and sidecar) contest in the near future.

I thought TC 17 would be the small car contest, now it' TC18. What's next?

Just an idea, what about motorcycle contest?

I think not so it would be a great idea for TC19 or 20.

MOTORCYCLES!

[Zerobricks]

Agreed, motorbikes are an awesome idea!

[msk6003]

We did now car, next will be bike, and how about roadwork vehicle?

Or, out of wheel, how about industrial machine?

Jim, How about a Sub Forum for contests as all the contest postings for WIP & Entry are swamping the first page.

[Jurss]

+1 for motorcycles

[Mechbuilds]

+1 for motorcycles! Hope somebody makes something vintage. 

[letsbuild]

Motorcycles would be an excellent category to cover

Just casually throwing in a recent Technic moc from a fellow Vietnamese (https://www.flickr.com/photos/khanglego). I love the use of Rahkshi back cover as mudguard.

Well, that's exactly why we host contests. To have an active forum 

 

I promised I would do a GBC contest at some point, but I have no clue how many people would be interested.

Bikes seem to be more popular and cater the needs of the many.

So how do you get your MOC entry on the front page? And also is everything announced here what the next contest will be official? Or is there another forum for that?

Hi everyone. I’ve not participated in contests or been active for a while, life tends to get in the way, but I’d like to submit an idea for a contest. 
 

I was thinking about a contest around the theme of “time”. Build something that has a relation with time. 
so one could build a clock, a lunar calendar, a timer, a time machine, or any other crazy ideas. 
 

It would be mechanically challenging and could bring interesting ideas and concepts forward. 

Anyway, just a thought!

[Jundis]

Motorcycles sound really good!

They also have the same good aspects as the well appreciated TC18. They are somehow restricted and therefor more comparable for a contest. Also the models are not too big for newcomers with a smaller brick collection.

Unless it is a hybrid

[Jundis]

@Jim Are there already plans, what contest it might be? :-)

[9v system]

i would be down for a GBC contest, i run the biggest GBC group in the world on facebook so i could post it there too

[Ctan]

Yeah, it would be great to start another contest! 

Maybe some non-military theme like rescue tanks or rescue aircrafts?

I don’t know about everyone else but I am interesting in a small truck contest, military style.
