The Challenge:
On a 16x16 baseplate, or on a 16x16 base, create a series of 4 connected, castle-oriented vignettes that visually tell a story. The goal is to create a 'story' which can be viewed when the overall MOC is spun.
The Rules:
- You may enter twice, each individual entry consisting of the four connected vignettes.
- Each vignette is limited to an 8x8 base footprint.
- All four vignettes must be either permanently connected or able to connect together, and must be able to rest flush against or share 2 sides with its' neighbor vignettes.
- You may overlap your vignettes and/or the edge of the overall 16x16 base.
- Your overall entry may consist of a single 16x16 MOC with four vignetted 'scenes' each on an 8x8 footprint within, providing it tells a story.
- To tell your story, your vignettes must be put in a logical progressive order. You may move the story to the right or two the left, it is your choice. Your first and fourth vignettes do not have to relate to each other.
- You may repeat minifigs throughout the vignettes. However, if your story revolves around an object, that must be explicitly obvious.
- Do NOT write a story for your entry. You may title it descriptively, but the object is to visually tell a story.
- Please take at least one picture of each vignette, along with at least one picture of all four together at a distance (you should not be able to see the front of all four vignettes at the same time when connected).
- Castle-Oriented is defined by the acceptable themes able to be posted to the Castle MOCs forum. I.E. Castle, Ninja, KK2, etc. Roman, Greek, and other ancient themes are welcome as well.
- Custom elements are limited to minifig and animals, stickers, and minifig and animal accessories.
- Sorry, for this contest Ldrawn entries will not be accepted.
