Colour it Blackton Contest VI


MORE INFO!

ALL SUBMISSIONS CAN BE SENT TO COLORITBLACKTRON@GMAIL.COM

Now, for contest rules. I am pretty loose with rules, but there are some.

#1: All MOCs must be Blacktron. If I see any Space Police, you will be shot into space.

#2: NEW MOCS ONLY! I don't want people submitting old Blacktron MOCs. Unless you are recolouring an old MOC into Blacktron colours (This is the case for category #5)

#3: No Megabloks. Cutting and painting parts are fine.

#4: Digital builds are welcome!

#5: Adhere to each category's specific rules.

#6: I reserve the right to change anything at anytime.

#7: Microscale is fine, with the exception of the minifigure category, obviously.

#8: Enter as often as you wish.



Now, for the categories again, but with MORE INFO AND PRIZES!!!!!

Category 1: Spaceship! Build a Blacktron 1 or Blacktron 2, or heck, even Blacktron 3 spaceship! It's really self explanatory.

PRIZE: 6887 Allied Avenger


Category 2: Ground based vehicle. If it moves, but stays on the ground (Or water even. Build a Blacktron sailing ship. I DARE YOU) it belongs in this category.

PRIZE: 6876 Alienator


Category 3: Base. It can be a base on the ground, or a space station in, uh, space. Or a spcaestation that has crashed on the ground. that works too..

PRIZE: 6710 Space Landing Pads. A good start for a Blacktron Base!


Category 4: Custom Minifig. No buildings, backdrops, or bricks. Unless it's a brickbuilt minifig, like a Brickheadz, or a Miniland figure. This will be judged SOLELY on the minifig(s)

PRIZE: A Blacktron 1 Minifig, a Blacktron 2 Minifig, alien Rench from the SP3 line, a CMF Series 3 Space Villain, CMF Series 11 Evil Mech, and a CMF Series 19 Bounty Hunter


Category 5: Recolour a official Lego set into Blacktron. The only sets that are exempt, are the Blacktron sets. Because they are already Blacktron. Reclouring a Blacktron 1 into Blacktron 2 set (Or vise Versa) is frowned upon. You can follow the original set as closely as you can, or you can take more liberties. If I feel the MOC has strayed too far from a set, I will move it to a more appropriate category. When entering, you must also send a picture of the set you have recoloured. At the very least, give me the set name and number. REMEMBER: ANY SET (Except Blacktron) FROM ANY THEME IS VALID. CASTLE. TOWN. BIONICLE. ALL OF IT.

PRIZE: A custom Blacktronized versions of 6648 Mag Racer, and 6125 Sea Sprint 9.


Category 6: Recolour and Old MOC. Take any of your own MOCs. Now, rebuild it into BLACKTRON. When submitting photo, must also have a photo of original MOC. Otherwise, I will put it into one of the other categories that it best fits.

PRIZE: 6894 Invader


Once again, the deadline is June 21st, 2020. Submissions can be made to coloritblacktron@gmail.com

Now get building!
