Back for more!


 
The contest that you all have been waiting for is back! Well, the contest that has everything and anything to do with Blacktron is back.

Right, onto the important stuff. The whole purpose of this contest is to recolour something old, and make it Blacktron colours!

But, there are going to be two categories this year!

Category 1: Remake an old MOC or any set in Blacktron (1, 2 or even 3) colours.

In this category, you can take an old MOC, and rebuild it in Blacktron colours. A good example would be this, one of last years winners. A good example for the set part, would be this X-wing, a MOC that I got from an older brother  as a Christmas present a couple years ago. Another great example would be last years winner. On another note, it has never been stated that it has to be a space MOC. No, you can Blacktronify a Castle, or your airport, or even your sailing ship. Heck, I think it would be awesome to see a Blacktron coloured sailing ship. Also, remember that the remake doesn't have to be an EXACT copy of the original material. Just make it close enough that it should be obviously based on the original

Category 2: Make an original Blacktron (1, 2 or 3) MOC.

New for this year, there is a second category, where you don't have to rebuild an old MOC in Blacktron colours, but you can just build a brand new Blacktron MOC.
Rules
1- No Megablocks or any clone brands.
2- No limits on how many times you can enter.
3- LDD and other such stuff ARE ALLOWED.
4- Third party stuff (Such as Brickarms, Brickforge, ect) IS ALLOWED.
5- Concerning Category 1, the old MOC must be yours, and not someone elses.
6- Also for Catagory 1. You must have a picture of the original MOC.

PRIZES!
TBA. Since I am not currently with my Lego as I type this and because I have reorganized the layout since I bought the prizes, some shuffling will have to be in order. Suffice to say, there will be a first and second prize for both categories.

Contest ends on June 30th, in whatever time zone you are living in. Entries can be posted either in the Flickr group, or at Classic Space.

It would fit right in

This little speeder by Triple Negative would fit right in with the Space Police III villians, or the Blacktron 1. It is that awesome The use of those big gun parts is especially nice. Not a part used all that often.
