K's Corner Contest #1

K's Corner Contest #1: The Doodle Pod

 

X-Pods are perhaps the most underrated of MOCing pieces. The goal of this contest is to make a/some MOC/MOCs using an X-Pod in it's design. Abstract is key. It's pretty much impossible to make a MOC with an X-Pod without it being abstract (Unless you're bigfatslob). I'm getting bored of the clone humanoid MOCs, so here we go!

 

This time: build a MOC(s) with an X-Pod in it. You do not need the pieces inside. Only the two curved pieces, and the large translucent pod piece.

 

You can have as many MOCs in your entry, but they all must have an entire X-Pod in it. I don't care how you use it, or where you use it; there just has to be one in it.

 

Got it? Good. Go build!

 

Entries will be accepted from when this entry was posted until the deadline. The deadline is now June 23rd at 11:59 PM Central time. I haven't decided when the deadline will be. It depends on how much interest this contest draws.

 

To enter, post a comment with you picture in this entry. Make it look like this:

 

Entry Name:

Entry Pic:

Gallery:

Topic (If made):

 

There will not be an entry list.

 

Rules:

 

1) Painted parts are NOT ALLOWED. No non-LEGO parts. All other LEGO parts are fair game; however, for the most part, they should have Bionicle pieces and Technic pieces. There is no specific ratio, though. Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are 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.

 

2) Your entry may be posted on BZPower before the contest ends. I'm allowing people to post their entry, gain feedback, and change it.

 

3) Any flaming will result in disqualification from the contest. Competition is good if you keep it clean. Everyone play fair, NO WHINING, no insults. I reserve the right to DQ any entry at any time for any reason.

 

4) Absolutely, positively NO CHEATING! Anyone found to be cheating or even suspected of cheating will face immediate disqualification from this contest and will possibly be banned from participating in future K's Corner Contests.

 

5) No "this is unfair" posting. Some people have more parts, money, time, etc... than others. That's life; we each have to do our best with what we have. Any excessive complaining may, at the judgment of Kopakalaka, disqualify you!

 

6) Discussion is encouraged. Feel free to ask questions about models you see or about the contest in general. This is for us, the BBC builders; let's have a lot of fun with it.

 

7) The contest is open to all BZP members, and voting is open to all BZP members to participate in even if they did not enter an MOC. "Advertising" your MOC is fine by making a signature or avatar reminding people to vote for you, but mass-PMing is frowned upon. So is advertising your MOC in someone else's thread.

 

 

SIGNATURE RULES!

**ONE pic allowed

**Pic may only be 250x100 pixels or 468x60 pixels or smaller

**Text may not exceed 5 lines

Anyone breaking the signature rules will lose 1 vote in the Preliminary Polls.

 

 

Prizes:

Prizes will be announced at a later date. Donations are accepted.

 

Contest Host:

Kopakalaka

 

Questions that may arise:

 

Q. What is the System/Technic ratio?

A. There is none. Your entry it encouraged to have some Technic in it, though.

 

Q. Can my entry have been posted on BZP before?

A. Don't care.

 

Q. What is an X-Pod?

A. This

 

Q. Does my entry need an X-Pod in it, or the pieces inside of an X-Pod?

A. Only the X-Pod itself. The pieces inside of an X-Pod are good with it, but you don't need 'em.

 

Get cookin'!

Too bad I already entered my Ga-Metru clock in a BBC contest :P

This sounds like a good idea, I actually use X-Pods often in my MOCs~♪

------

You can still enter it. I'm allowing MOCs that have already been posted on BZP.

But I has no x-pods. :(

 

 

-SZ-

You could order some? The contest probably won't end for a while. There are plenty on the unnamed site for around $2-3 each.

they don't sell anymore right? :(

 

oh, could I make a toa, and have the lid be a shield?

No, they don't.

 

You can, but you also need the other half of the lid and the pod itself.

There are still a few left at some Targets if you're lucky :D

 

Man, I have a TON. I was a huge fan in their first years, I got red, green, yellow, and blue :lol:

So I might just make some sort of giant rainbow clear thingy?~♪

I've got Dragon, Monster, the first yellow one, and the orange and red car one.

I think I lost some pieces in the move though...

Xpods rule.

I am looking for a yellow "Planes" X-pod. What are you using for search terms on nameless site?

I'll throw in a mask, let me think about it though. I need to select a good one. . .

True, but I need the purple parts.

I think that would be Aero Pod...

 

But if I don't know a name of a set, I search for a set that I know the name of that shares parts with the set I'm looking for, look at the parts list, look at the part, and then look at the sets it comes in.

I dunno. I made a purple one with only two purple pieces.

 

Another contestant!

does the creation have to contain technic/bionicle peices? if it does I'm going to have trouble.

I'm advising that it does, but it doesn't need them.

Hmm. . . what colors are the blades that come with the new Exoforce? The big buzz saw?

 

I bought the Planes pod. All I need to do is get some blades, and then Zeik will be perfect. . .

I'm so baffled by your soon to be entry. That's a good thing, though. :D
