Real World Starfighter Contest winners announced

Those of you that have been around the community long enough, may remember a contest that ran many moons ago… :P

RWSC

Well after some very lengthy deliberation, we have finally narrowed down the entries to declare the 3 winners!

1st Place
Shannon Ocean’s Boeing C-15 "Strike Eagle" with a score of 175/200

2nd Place
Mainman’s Project HAVE SHIVER with a score of 169/200

3rd Place
Pierre E Fieschi’s 1973 ‘HERCULES’ Nuke Platform with a score of 168/200

We scored a total of 11 entries in our semi-finalist round. These were the other 8 semi-finalists:

4th- Halfbeak’s Moonrock 1 with 157/200
5th- Ted Andes’ Gladius with 156/200
6th- Fernald’s Solid Fuel Starfighter with 155/200
7th- xiei22’s Pilum with 153/200
8th Brainbikerider’s Chernobog with 152/200
9th Lego Junkie’s Soyuz 7-K12 with 150/200
10th madLEGOman’s Spaceghost with 149/200
11th bloei’s ISF Zodiac with 143/200

To say that the judges were impressed with both the quantity, but more importantly the QUALITY of the entries is an understatement. You didn’t make it easy on any of us to judge, but you also all made it extremely fun to watch!

So a huge CONGRATS to the winners, and also to all that participated! Also a giant thank you to all the judges, and especially Stijn and More Bricks for the prize sponsorship!

Peter and I have already talked about this becoming a recurring contest…it was just an absolute hoot to be a part of!

Unconventional MOCs

The two latest creations by Sean and Steph (Siercon and Coral) feature completely ridiculous yet interesting methods of building (or unbuilding). The first is a sea-scape made out of only transparent bricks that are not connected in any way.

Avalon 'Connectionless'

The second is a medieval scene made from clone bricks and modified by real fire.

Sacrilege (watch video first)

There’s a video to prove it:

The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious

…if it were so, it was a grievous fault. And brilliantly, James Pegrum built it.

The Globe theater is so iconic, as are the works of the bard, who watches from stage-left as his players bring his words to life. Shakespeare’s most famous fans watch from above as Caesar falls, his guards bursting on stage to witness the tragedy.

I’d highly suggest taking in the larger version, and just absorbing the details.

Everyone needs a little more pirate in their life. Right?

I’m sure you do. We all do! TheBrickAvenger built this lovely little playset-esque creation, inspired after a Playmobile playset (gasp!). I’m quite sure I’m biased but this turned out just fantastic. The board roof, and that palm!

He’s got tons more stuff worth checking out on his Flickr stream. Enjoy!
