military ground vehicle
« on: October 05, 2009, 03:53:50 PM »
RULES:
This contest will be for bragging rights only (unless otherwise noted later)
This contest is OPEN TO EVERYONE, mods are very welcome to participate.
The deadline will be set for December 1st for now (if we need to extend it we will make it end on christmas?)

Your entry must be in the form of a customized imperial era OR republic era ground based vehicle.  This vehicle must be a military vehicle, no civi speeders please.  

You must submit at least one image of your custom.( although  the more the better)

you may submit your entry early in this thread, of course if you submit it early then you run the risk of giving others ideas! so keep that in mind!

You are not required to do any figure customs in this contest but you can go ahead and include them if you are so inclined!

judging:

At the date of the deadline all entries will be placed in a new thread and a poll will be opened to everyone (exactly like we did the speeder challenge).

winnings:

Winner will recieve a custom made graphic to put into their signature declaring their superiority over the other entries, thus earning uber bragging rights!

sound good guys?

I submitted this idea a while back and I think it was a good one but with everyone focused on the speeder bike contest we felt that it wouldn't get much participation.

I feel since we have already talked about this contest I am going to make it another "intelectual" challenge much like what we did with the scuba mando, only this time there will be a vote and winner will get bragging rights.

No.


How about you give some love to the poor people who can't afford new tanks?

Can we at least make it any imperial tank like vehicle, walker, etc?

LOL, oh who am I kidding, I don't paint.

I will say this: I have been waiting a LONG time for this one!  I'm already half way done!  Also, let me say, there doesn't HAVE to be any kind of prize.  Simple bragging rights are cool too.  It's fun to have these kinds of contests, regardless if there is a prize or not.  I'm ALL in, and I can't wait to hand you all your butts! LOL!  Just kidding, though I AM very excited to go back to work on mine...

I'm editing the first post to make the rules and deadlines clearer.

Just my 2 cents, but how about including the AAT,  the droid tank from the prequels.
I don't have the Republic tank. :(

aat is fair game

The only stipulation in this contest is that it HAS to be a military machine.  You can make it sepratist, republic, jedi, imperial, or rebel... 

I'll even go ahead and say if you have a speeder bike you want to use for this you can go ahead!  that will give those who didn't enter the speeder bike contest an opourtunity as well.

sound good guys?

Let's rock!!  I've been eyeing my IFT, excuse me, REPUBLIC Fighter Tank since the contest was announced, thinking on what I'm gonna do to it.  So now you go and make it ANY military ground vehicle???  OOOOooooooh, my.....  I can hear those mini-rigs at Jules' place cringing in terror already!  I know *mine* are...  I mean, the IFT/RFT approach was all well and good, but you either repaint or totally rework the beast so that the sponsons are articulated to be game-accurate.  Now, tho...  Now, who KNOWS what fiendish vehicle my production platforms may churn out??  MWAHAHAHAHAackackcoffcoff...hahahahaha

We shall see.

ok I just got confirmation that the banner you will recieve for winning the contest will be done by our very own graphic artist Hangarbay!

so the winner will get the signature brag-badge made especially for them by hangarbay himself....

so i take it that a turbo tank will count? i have an idea forming ;D

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes, "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead

I'll throw my hat in, and will try to complete something by December 1st. I have a half dozen customs in the pipe atm.. almost all of them being military vehicles =)


Ok lets bring it!!

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?
