Alrighty, since I've had a hankering for HW2, I decided to build most...if not all of the Vaygr (and some of the Hiigarian) ships.
And I got an idea...why not...since a few people here have lego, why not have a lego building contest, right here!
--------------
TeH Rulez!
--------------
1: ) Pick a Sci-fi game.
2: ) Choose a ship or vehicle from the game.
3: ) Get some Lego. (MLCadded ships will be judged in a separate category)
3: ) Start building!
-----------------------
Try using as much lego, and as much detail as possible with the models, here's my Vaygr Heavy Missile Frigate to show you just how much detail I mean. (It's 49 studs long FYI)

So, just enough to give it form and playability, don't go overboard.
Entry's can be posted here, show a pic of the in-game ship, and a pic of the ship you built.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judging will be done by a public vote, voters should be looking for:
1: How close it is to the in-game model.
2: playability (i.e. moving parts, "shwooshability", etc)
3: How you used the bricks/built the ship (use different building techniques to overcome parts limitations, or shortages)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contest starts now, and will go on for...a month.
...need to talk to some admins to see if I can get this semi-stickied...
That's all, good luck and good building!

Thread stuck on request :)
-
I'll submit some pictures, if my little brother hasn't killed the Medusa model designed by Petrarch yet.
-
Oh man... if we'd had this thread like ten years ago, before I gave all my legos to my younger cousins in Malaysia, this would be so cool. ;)
-
Goddamn. I could make something, but installing my digicam makes the 'Net **** up.
-
*wishes he had legos, but is in the same situation as Steak*
-
I sold mine, now I wish I didn't :(
-
i have some just don't have the ammount or skill lol

A shame, isn't it? I live in the hope that little dudes somewhere out there are discovering the joy of Lego. ;)
-
I made a deimos a while ago.. it's on my shelf. I'll get a picture sometime.
-Also made a Fenris, and a Pegasus.
-
get 'em up! I may also...bend the rules...slightly....
*goes to edit his first post*
You are allowed to use MLCad or any other lego cadding program, but they'll be in another catagory.
...and I may also have the community vote on which is the best ship entry...that'd be interesting...
*edits some more*
There!
Good luck with the building people!
-
Yay.
Now I just need to reinstall MLCad, L2Lab, POVRay...
-
too bad i got rid if my legos or id show you my automated anti-cat rubberband launching tank. it was so cool and it could find and attack cats pretty good too.
-
:lol: I had one of those! 'cept it was more of a catapult/tank...
-
yes but was it fully automated?
-
refrain from spamming in this thread please...
-
Yeah ******s, that's my job.
-
Does C&C:RA class as Sci Fi?
It's fiction, and has science...
-
*sigh*
...I suppose it does...but C&C:TS counts more, considering all the future stuff, RA is more...in the here and now...but...I'll accept it.
-
Yeesh - I've made a couple of Lego ships for my own sci-fi franchise, one of which still exists as an actual model. It was used as the basis for The Swarm War's Senshi-class Heavy Cruiser.
Does it HAVE to be Sci-Fi? I used to be a dab hand at making Lego models of WWII warships.....
-
yes it has to be SCi-fi, I can bend the rules as to say, if it portrays advance/futuristic weapons/ships/units then I'll accept it.
WWII warships...don't think so...unless if you count Yamato...for obvious reasons then yes I'd accept that.
-
Darn.......and I had a lovely model of HMS Rodney. :D
I suppose I could tackle Yamato in her Sci-Fi guise........where did I put MLCad. I don't have THAT many bricks! :D
-
heh, have fun
And POST PICS HERE, so we can see what each other has to compete against.
-
Hmmm. I've built a model of a Hecate class destroyer, but it's not made with the detail the contest seems to demand. The bricks are all just various colors and whatnot. =/
-
you got pics, post em! Any and everything is welcome at this point and time.
-
I'll get a pic as soon as I can (figure out the digial camera).
-
I have several of these things in my room. They are all minifig scale ships based on the official space themes' colors/designs/etc., so they are sci-fi but not based on any specific existing ships. And of course there's my rocket launcher too. The only digital camera I have is my dad's camcorder though, which takes worthless still pictures.
-
Heh. I've got the pictures, but now I've got to reduce their size because ImageShack doesn't like hosting things over a meg in size. =/
-
any pics are good...seems this went the way of the do-do bird...ah well...
-
Yeah, but I'm posting them even if this is dead. Nothin' can stop me!
And here's the first one, with guest appearance by my cat's legs:

And now for round two. Sorry, but this one's going to stretch things a bit:
(http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/2189/hecate2.gif)
As you can see, I didn't really try for matching colors. And I improvised a few things, like the engines in the back that aren't at all like they should be. But that's just how things are.
-
Very Nice!
You've captured the look the of Hecate! I'm impressed...even if it is an RBW (RainBow Warrior)
-
That looks very nice. The body looks a little elongated but the wings/fins looks excellent. :yes:
Anyone up for making a minifig-scale version of one of these? :D Fighters and bombers would certainly be doable though...
-
Thanks!
I also have a model of a Perseus intercept fighter I can put up. It's RBW too though. And once one of my friends made a really good true color Apollo, but it's fallen apart.
At one point in time I made an RBW Ravana that was the perfect companion for my Hecate. I even took on the daunting task of trying to build a Sathanas, but that didn't turn out too well and it's since then been taken apart and assimilated into other creations.
-
a perseus? Cool! If you got pics, put em up!
I've tried to figure out how to make the window for one...but...can't figure it out...
-
Can i pop up this? Not as a serious entry though....
(http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/beatspete/screenshots/aelousscreenshot.jpg)
made it about 2 years ago. Done in MLCAD, which is cheating, i know. :)

And these two cheeky chappies, one of the first renders/composits i did with PSP - I didnt even know how to use layers at the time.
