Bbcc 47: Build It If You Can -- Unofficial Contest!

Well, this latest BBCC was shaping up to be a fine contest as always, but then it got canceled, leaving some of us feeling a bit let down. To rectify this, I have started an unofficial version of that contest, approved by a BA and brought to you by moi and 55555 (we agreed to merge our contests.).

 

I'm sure you're all familiar with the basic theme, so we'll get straight to the rules:

 

Rules:

 

.1. One entry per person. Entries can include multiple MOCs, but at least one of the MOCs in your entry must incorporate at least one canister piece, be it a lid or the canister proper.

 

.2. Bionicle canisters and lids only, please. Boxes from sets do not count, nor do the little cardboard bits from the Av-Matoran sets. Basically, anything plastic that came as part of the packaging for a Bionicle set is okay.

 

.3. Canisters and/or lids must somehow be attached to the MOC(s) in your entry. You can't use them as scenery, or just rest a MOC on top of them and call it an entry.

 

.4. Painted parts are NOT ALLOWED. No non-LEGO parts. All other LEGO parts are fair game; however, for the most part, they should be Bionicle pieces and Technic pieces. Let's say, at least 75% of the MOC Bionicle/Technic parts. Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are also prohibited. If either method is used, the MOC will be disqualified. The background may be edited, as long as it does not alter the appearance of the MOC itself.

 

.5. The entries will be sorted into two divisions: Lids and Full Canisters. MOCs using only the lids of canisters (This includes Mahri coverings and Phantoka casings) will be placed in the first division, and MOCs incorporating the main body of a canister (as well as lids, if the entrant so wishes) will go in the second. If there's no entries in the second division, that's okay, but there may be fewer prizes as a result.

 

.6. There is no Rule 6!

 

.7. There must be at least 12 entries. If this goal is not met dire consequences will ensue. (Read: Fewer or no prizes)

 

.8. All entries published after January 3rd, 2008 (The date BBCC 47 was started) are allowed, as long as they follow the rest of these rules.

 

.9. Entry period ends January 31st at 11:59 PM PST, with voting starting soon after.

 

.10. Publicize this contest! Many people who would like to enter may not be aware of it because they don't read this blog or blogs in general. Put this code in your sig to get the word out to fellow MOCers:

[url=http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=154&showentry=24875][img=http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Patuara/Bionicle/Miscellaneous/canbanner.png][/url]

Voting: Preliminary and semifinal polls for each will be separate and will take place in 55555's blog, with the winners of each going on to the next poll, along with an overall wildcard picked from both divisions. The best in each division plus the wildcard will advance from the semifinals to the final poll, in which the two divisions will meet for the first time.

Prizes: Yes, prizes! The first place winner will receive his/her choice of $6, an Av-Matoran set, or a trans-green Lego frog. (Winners outside the US will have to pay shipping on the latter two) The second place winner gets second choice, and third place gets whatever is left.

*gurgles happily*

I'm taking pictures today. I think my entry uses about 40 can pieces.

May I darken the background of my picture to make the main MOC stand out more? Cera's workshop is messy.

Can you vote for yourself? It seems like you shouldn't be able too. Please may we not? Be able to?

I might make time to enter. I'm working on a different MOC right now though. We'll see. I'm stuck on my canister-MOC.

Bunda, you can darken your background, yes. To answer your other question, we will be able to vote for our own MOCs as in the official BBCCs.

Ohs noes! I hasn't a chance now that Arpy's entered!

You've got more than Arpy to worry about. ;)

What?

Arpy--when you say "attached" what exactly do you mean? Some or all of the canisters (I mean the larger part of the canister--not the lids) can't be attached by shoving a plus-rod or peg into them, so do you mean that fixing them in place by some other way isn't against the rules?

 

Also, the scenery rule. . . I want to build a scene, and a Toa canister would be part of the scene. It wouldn't be a rock in the background (actually, it would be just what it is supposed to be: a Toa canister). Would that be okay?

 

Thanks.

May I make a couple side MOCs to acompany the main one that violate the technic/system ration? They're just little background items that make it more interesting. And they're all system.

If you had something attached to it (say, a Toa, Matoran, or exploding flame effect) that would be fine. So's fixing full canisters in place by some other method.

I'm In. Entering in the full canister division.

 

Entry Name: Archaeizoa (arr-kay-ih-zoh-ahh)

Entry url(s):

in canister: In the Egg

out of canister: Hatched, and ready to suck your lifeforce dry!

 

If I can't have two pictures to enter, PM me as soon as possible so I can fix that.

I've resized and combined them into one picture for you, like so.

No, sorry.

I'm just making sure, but it's okay to have canisters filled with pieces in the background, right?

The main MOC also has canister parts, but the location is a workshop, and the canisters in the background add atmosphere.

If you say no, I'm not entering. Serious. Because my entry would be ruined.

I jsut want to save myself the disgrace of being disqualified.

Maybe a picture would help? I can PM it to you if you aren't sure.

MINDSTORMS are helping greatly, but knowing me, I won't be able to enter any time soon...

 

Wait, MINDSTORMS are allowed, correct?

 

'Cause Seran did something with MINDSTORMS in that Proto Manta entry before, right?

Bundalings
Yeah, that's okay, as long as they're not actually part of the MOC.

Hoorah!

 

Still, I might not e able to enter, because of camera and lighting difficulties.

 

The scene is so big I had to build it on my floor, so it only gets good light from about 1-2.

Actually, it was bionicleminotaur with his Leviathan, but yeah, I don't know why Mindstorms wouldn't be allowed.

Hmm. . .

 

I've made some progress, but I still have a lot to build. . . I still might finish it the way I want to, though. That would be very good. :evilgrin:

 

And if I'm not satisfied with the picture(s) I submit to you tomorrow, can I take pictures of my entry (without changing any of it) and substitute them for the originally submitted one(s)?

Yes, but I'll let the other winners have first pick even if I get 1st or 2nd.
