 | | Lame Parts Entry - Wibble Asteroid Sailer
|
|
Here is my (lame) entry for the Lame parts contest. I'm building another, much better one, which should be done soon, but for now... The Wibble are a peculiar race that evolved in an asteroid belt. Intrepid Wibble explorers move around using craft (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

Good website, Allister! Simple and functional. I like it. Just one problem, all the links work. Shouldn't there be a lame link or two that is broken? :) Just kidding, good job. Josh (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

Well, I've finally finished the official competition website. It's fairly rudimentary (I'm no programmer), but it should do the job. Check it out at (URL) me know if there are any errors, omissions or if you have any suggestions on making the comp (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

I remember thinking it didnt look very useful as it didn't have many studs or holes for (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

Thanks, James, I appreciate the comments. The brick seperators are a funny thing, because the first time I saw them I thought they were a weird new space piece I didn't know about. So, now they have reverted back to my first thoughts of them! You (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

(...) Fantastic! I especially like the solar separators, they don't even look like a lame part, they look quite fitting! The Manta Ray isn't technically part of the ship, but I guess we'll let you off! James (24 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

In the last day or so I've made a small lameparts model, but I used blu-tack for the football and (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

I managed to get two onto my ship using only lego and no rubber bands. (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

Anyone who can come up with a third way will greatly impress me. :) -Dave (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

(...) I've never actually seen a lego football in the 'flesh', so I'm not even sure how big it is. Is it a standard no. of bricks in diameter? If so you should be able to clamp it somehow with Lego only. But I don't necessarily object to blue tak. (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

Hi Allister, Firstly I have to say this is a way cool idea. There's nothing like a bit of restriction to release the creative power.
