Topic: What should our next challenge be?

[Tamer]

Ok folks these were the ideas that folks had generated here:

http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=6761.msg175241#msg175241

 that I promised I would put up for our next custom challenge, I will leave this up at least a week or so to get a good sampling spread the word and feel free to encourage others to vote for your favorite choice! And don't forget to add to that thread as I will use them to come up with the poll after our current challenge is over.

so r all the winners chosen by random drawings or member votes?

Are you talking about the poll choices or the challenge winner?

If you are talking about the polls we run, those choices come from the suggestions posed by the members at the link I just posted.

If you mean the challenge itself once we start it that depends. Sometimes we will go with a member vote after all the entries are in. Sometimes we do a random drawing of one or a few of the names out of a hat, or in my case, an TESB Coffee Mug.

I voted for articulation, if it means anything I would like to change it to bounty hunters. Or maybe we could have a runoff vote between the top two.

You can change your vote if you want.

I voted Bounty Hunters. Between the two leading categories that's the one. I can't see remaking someone else's work.

I'm assuming that the Marvel customs was my suggestion but I didn't vote that way. I was suggesting more of a broad range type of thing because I knew Marvel alone wouldn't get the votes. More of a Golden age type contest where all EU pryer to the Dark Horse take over was fair game. That would have included TV specials and Del Ray novels like "Splinter Of The Minds Eye" and "Han Solo At Stars End" and so on. Oh well maybe next time.

Today is the last day to vote. If you have a favorite make sure you encourage your friends to vote. It is looking like Bounty Hunters for now!

So should I start making my bounty hunter?

Yepper, looks like Bounty Hunters won. I will try to get a graphic organized and some basic rules put together and announce this no later than tomorrow!

Oops

[Sjefke]

I got this idea from Bronxstalker's work.
A custom challenge that limits the artists to use trash to make their creation.  Contestants must make a vehicle or a mech suit using ONLY re-purposed junk for detailing.  No parts casted by a toy company allowed (except maybe for articulation).  Additional sculpt work for fine detail is sanctioned, but can't be the majority of the custom.

What do you guys think about that?

[Tamer]

We ran a custom contest like that a few years back based on Spry's circuit box lid. It was called the trash to treasure contest. It was pretty fun, maybe its time to run it again. What if we started everyone with the same basic components and see what they come up with? That might be fun too, but after I pay for the shipping of all the prizes for the latest contest I am gonna be fresh out of disposable cash to start this, maybe down the road.

That being said folks, I plan on using the next two weeks to highlight everyone's custom entry for this past contest and then we will see about a new challenge.

[JDeck]

trash to treasure would be cool.
My thought is a custom non-sentient creature. Like a dewback, taun taun, bantha, that sort  either in  star wars canon or expanded universe.

I still say 6" SW custom contest.

leaning that way myself Tom. I will get a poll ready as soon as we finish this one off. I am glad folks are clamoring for a new one even if my wallet isn't!
