Okay, I wrote this is build.contests a long time ago (er, well, 2 weeks) • but
no one seems to be interested. I therefore post it to build and general, • and
(off course) to basic:

I've had this idea for quite a long time, and now I've found the • build.contests
group so I can share it!

I'm thinking of a BASIC building contest. You choose one of the available • BASIC
sets (perhaps those available last year, as well), and build something of • it,
using *only* the parts in the box. You can combine 2 boxes, though, if • you
like
to have more parts.

Perhaps it would not be a contest about cool things, but about • imagination
and
creativity. Who can build a spaceship from 4221, or a boat from 3040, for
example?

Count me in.   How would you like to structure it?   Or do you just want to
leave it open ?  It would be/ will be  nice to  see what various people come
up with utilizing similar brick resources.  Sort of like a challenge contest
at a Brickfest?  -[Your contest will probably be as close as I get to one
for a quite some time.]
I never really know what I 'm going to come with when I start  rearranging a
set after initially following the instructions..  That's the pleasure.  For
me, this will be as more of a challenge to myself than a contest with
others.
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.   I saw your original post, but
was too frazzled getting ready for Passover and visiting relatives to make a
commitment.
I don't have any "intact" BASIC sets right now.  I will probably have a
chance to look around to try and find a medium size BASIC in the next week
or so.    What size set or about what piece count do you have in mind?  I
wouldn't mind getting a 4225 so that I could get a copy of the MM FL picture
you posted.  Is this too small  for what you have in mind?  I don't know if
it is available here.
Limits do push creativity and exercise one's imagination.   This is good for
everyone.  Thanks for suggesting it.
Come on people, join the fun!

(...) Since I don't live in the US, I thought that a web based contest would be the best way to go. Sort of like the IRTC competition (www.irtc.org). People would take pictures of their model, if they like, also make DAT-files, renderings etc, write (...)
