( Organized ) Blog Contest #2- Kick It Old School

Well, that's right. A new contest to keep you busy! Considering Bionicle is ending and we now have Stars this year, I think we should offer a proper tribute via this contest. This can be hard to put into words but I'll put it quite simply: build an old character from 2005 or earlier using mostly modern Bionicle pieces from 2006-present.

The best example of this would be Brickeens' Nui Rama. As you can see, this MOC portrays an old character in a new style with more current pieces and the techniques seen today. Building an old thing with new pieces might not be your thing, though. You are also allowed to build a new character with old pieces. You can also combine new and old pieces to portray a new or old character in a different way.

Your entry could be as simple as Tahu built with an Inika torso, or be as complex as ToM Dracone's White Makuta. These ideas portray old characters in new ways. The possibilities are endless! Before you get MOCing, think about these guidelines.

1) This contest follows the basic rules of any BBCC held on BZPower. These guidelines should be followed in this contest.

2) You MOC must portray a new character with old pieces, an old character with new pieces, or a combination. This can be a confusing, large concept, so I'll let you get away with a lot as long as the MOC attempts to follow the theme.

3) No mass PMing me, the host. Questions go in the comments section of this post.

4) The entry period ends on January 30th.

This contest follows the practical rules that BBCCs follow. It's all common sense.

Koltrin: Sorry dude, that MOC has no visible 2006 and later pieces. The theme of the contest is to build a MOC that represents an older character with modern pieces. You seem to have rebuilt Voporak using pieces from 2005 and earlier.

No dood, sorry. It's a pretty big hassle if, say, the winner was on the other side of the world. :P BUT, you do earn a spot on the Block of, quote on quote, "Fame." :lookaround:

I have an entry for this, I will get some pictures later.

 

Also, could we do an old character with a customized old torso?

If it uses pieces from 2006 or later, yeah. That's cool.

Hmm... seeing as that wasn't an official set, no. You could try to make it Nokama or Gali or something, though.

Wait it has to be any official set? I thought it should just be a "fitting" conclusion set to BIONICLE...*shrug* oh well.

Actually Zaxvo, I just skimmed over the rules and your logic wins. I said character, not set, so your MOC should be OK.

U_K has a point. I see some post 06 pieces being used, but not so clearly. I'm torn. :wacko: I guess I'll leave it unapproved, for now.

Didn't you say you were gonna be lenient on this one? xD

 

I don't really see the difference in portraying an old set in a new way and a revamp of an old set..

 

I guess I got a little confused, because in the contest rules you also said you would allow old pieces being used in new ways.. Or a combination of the two. Could you clarify a bit?

Yeah, sorry. It really doesn't follow the theme well, though. Of all of the pieces on this huge MOC, there are only four post-2006 pieces clearly visible. If your entry has been disapproved, you may fix your entry. As a matter of fact, you can start all over if you want.

I guess you didn't read the entire thing: the problem isn't that there aren't Bohrok parts. There needs to me a significant amount of well-represented pieces from 2006 or later.
