Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
Hey Folks!
I'm hosting a monthly build challenge. No Rules. No holds barred. I give you an idea and you fly with it. Lets see what we can build!
This month's challenge will be full-size Medieval Weapons. Whatever you want. That's right. WHATEVER YOU WANT!
Post a pic in this thread and show us what has burst from the idea factory of your brain!
Btw, here's one I built:
Build On!

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
I have no idea if I'll have the time to build for the challenge this month, but I look forward to many monthly challenges to come! It's a great idea, and since the seed part contests are a bit far-between, this will fit the bill nicely! Thanks!
in His grip, Chris

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
Sounds like a good idea. I think i'll make a Life-sized castle. No for real, I'll see.

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
A shield would be real cool to do. I want someone to do a shield.
Not likely to enter, but you never know. It is a really cool idea, after all.

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
This was a challenge that really got my attention, being a weapons collector.
I hope you like my version of the Chokutō. Hopefully it won't be my last full scale weapon.

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
That is a beautiful sword. In the thumbnail it looks like there is writing on the blade. Your wife seems comfortable handling that weapon, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
There is a brick textured inscription on the blade. LEGO and swords are just two of the things she's had to become comfortable with living with me. I'd say it's a good thingby Ye Olde Republic » Sun Mar 07, 2010 2:05 pm

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
Hey Buried,
Welcome to CC! Thanks for taking part in the Weapons Challenge. This is a lovely sword. Totally fooled me with the thumbnails on Flickr.
Posted this on The Brothers Brick, just so you know....
Build On,
Josh

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
Well, I built my sheild, and took the pics, but have yet to put them on brickshelf (I tried Flickr, but the site won't load for me right now.)
EDIT:
Got some pics, and a little "story":
"Dum de dum dum"
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Eleph ... cn8976.jpg
"Huh, what is that?"
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Eleph ... cn8977.jpg
Jaw dropping noise "Oh, a big sheild."
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Eleph ... cn8978.jpg
"I have claimed this sheild!"
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Eleph ... cn8980.jpg
A pic of the whole thing, with me standing right beside it:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Eleph ... cn8974.jpg
And the back:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Eleph ... cn8981.jpg
Took about one afternoon, one evinging, and another couple hours to build it. Fell apart no less than three times during the build.

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
Thanks for the warm welcome Josh and thanks for the TBB love! (an invite to the Flickr pool maybe? ) Perhaps someday I'll have enough bricks to build me an actual castle, until then keep up the interesting challenges!
@ EK - That shield is nuts! I'd mount that on my wall if I were you, Bravo!

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
Thanks for the kind comments on my sheild!
buriedbybricks: Well, It has already been dismantled, and it probably wouldn't hold up to well on my wall anywyas. Besides, too many useful bricks.

Re: Monthly Challenge #1: Medieval Weapons
It seems I've had ninjas on the brain lately so this is what I came up with.
I've noted all of the different weapons on the flickr page so click the link.
