Blogarithm Contest #10: Express Building!


tumblr_nsqn1dMYNZ1tryxewo1_1280.png

 

So let's talk about MOCing. If you've got a few pieces lying around, chances are that you've built something uniquely your own. Regardless of the size of your collection, MOCing is the inevitable result of imagination and ABS plastic. It's why the BBC forum has held so many contests in BZPower's storied history.

 

Your mission: build something that uses twenty pieces or fewer. (Twenty-one is right out.) With such a limitation, the contest puts a premium on part usage and imagination. System, CCBS, classic BIONICLE, fusion ... the style is up to you. (Just keep in mind that there is a maximum of two entries per member.) Entries should come with an image and a name.

 

The winner will receive an exclusive engraved brick. (I'm no stranger to shipping internationally.) The entry period ends Saturday, August 15th at 11:59 PM Eastern time.

 

So what are you waiting for? Get building!

As long as you limit yourself to color/mold combinations that LEGO has officially released.

Ice Butterfly

17 pieces for the butterfly, 3 for the stand, 20 overall. (Unless you count the lever and base as separate pieces, in which case you're evil.)

Would this brick be in any way farm related?

But if I said, it wouldn't be a surprise! :rolleyes:

I do count the lever and the base as separate pieces, but I don't count the stand, so you're in luck.

In the theme of creepy crawlies, I present to you... possibly the least creepy crawly you can imagine!
 
The Rainbow Kraata Transport, built using exactly 20 pieces!

Excellent idea for a contest. I might have to push myself to make something!

Nope. Polls go up the day after the entry period ends.

Are we allowed to enter MOCs we built before this contest was announced?

My 2015 BFVA MOCS

 

Piece count: I dunno?

i'm no mathematician but that's more than 20 and therefore inelligible

I should have said it earlier - that Monty Python reference in there was great.

 

Now that I've started thinking about it, 4 of the Bionicle Stars sets are under 20 pieces...so it's a little embarrassing that the MOC I was thinking of for this isn't.

Yes—as long as I've not seen them posted to the forum before.

DQ'd because at least 21 pieces.

I wasn't subtle enough, then, was I? :P

I'm curious about ski-dude's head. I count 19 visible pieces so the last part would have to be a single part on the end of that axle holding the head...

 

I guess I should enter soon. :B

it's that piece used at the end of 2003 Makuta's staff to hold the blades on.
