CCCX Cross-Category Awards

Postby Bruce N H » Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:40 am

Hey all,

Yes, this time I promise to post the winners earlier than a year after the contest is over. :? As a little add-on to the CCC, I'm again going to make some cross-category awards. These are separate from the contest judging. Winners will be given special forum titles that you'll have for a year or so or until you get renamed noob of the week for doing something dumb. :D Try to incorporate the following into your builds:

Historian - Use your entry to teach us something about medieval life or real historical people and events.
Friend - Include elements from the Friends line (even figs) in a clever way.
Collectible - Prominently feature a fig from the Collectible line (any series).
NPU - Utilize a 'useless part' - that is, one that is definitely not intended for castle building (aside from a Friends part, I guess).
Scales - Somehow mix scales in your fig-scaled MOC - maybe by incorporating microscale to give forced perspective, or introduce a giant to your minifigs, etc.
Humor - Make us laugh with your entry.
Best Use of Duplo - Use Duplo to give your castle MOC that extra edge. (Hint: We need to be able to see the Duplo)

I don't even want to know what is going to happen if we start using Friends stuff in our castle mocs, but hey, I have to say I like these categories!
You would rather be building right now.

I suppose this means I'm going to have to submit "Diego and the Multi-Colored Tunnel of Doom" afterall. Hmmm....

In all honesty, that is what gave me the idea. ;)

Fellow builders, I'm happy to say I am now a proud owner of a Friends set. I will say this though; walking through the Princess section in Target to find a Friends set was a bit embarrassing. I even got a few dirty glares from some moms with their young daughters, you know they we're just thinking I was some kind of creep. :P Still, I followed through with what I said, so that means something, right? Okay, I'll stop my babbling and finish with this, go buy a Friends set!

Well, now that you've got DUPLO and Friends categories, maybe I'll have to re-assess my "no contests" rule. Of course, to do that I would actually have to build something... And I just got my collection all perfectly sorted! After taking two months to sort, how can I ever bear to mess it up again???

Believe it or not I have plans to put all of these in 1 MOC, the hardest one is figuring out something to teach you about castles...

Thankfully I have a younger sister with friends sets already :D
