The BH "protect and serve" competition

ok so it's about time we have another competition to keep you all on your toes, the idea is simple; create a police vehicle that the l.c.p.d can use to keep scum off the streets!

Here are the simple rules:

- The entry must be a complete new build that has previously not been posted on any location online.
- You can enter only ONE entry.
- Your entry MUST consist of a maximum of 4 pics (not exceeding 640x480 pixels in size):
* one to three of the fig and vehicle.
* one of the fig “in action”
- You are allowed to use custom parts (BrickArms, Amazing Armory, Arealight...) and make custom stickers/decals
- You are not allowed Ldraw entries: brick built entries only.
- You can be very creative here: there are NO theme restrictions at all. You can build an entry from an existing Lego theme (licensed or not) or you can create your own theme, as long as police action is involved, so be very creative.

The prizes

Yes the prizes are the upcomming Lego Minifigs :geek: The winner will pick 3 figs, the second will pick 2 and the third will have the last one ;)

The winners will be selected by the BH staff.

The contest starts as of now until sunday May 16th

Please post your entries here

If anyone has any questions post them here :)

Good luck and lets not forget the most important rule: have fun building ;)

Nan the figs on the poster are just to illustrate the competition. You can really choose whatever police force you can imagine. Like its stated in the rules, there is no theme restriction and you can really do a very wide variety (wait to see my non pc entry which will be space based).

You are not obliged to give them name (...) but its always good to have a backstory to entries because it gives them a unique personnality ;)

You can use more than 1 person off course. For instance, I'll have 2 or 3 in my action shot.

Well you know I'm in! I should be able to pump something out before my IB exams. I'm curious as to what these super awesome prizes are though.

I am new but I am definitely in. Not really for the figs (though I like me some figs) but mainly to be active.

I have been going through some of the custom minifig pages here and I think I will like it here.

Now just some clarification, this can be police force in any theme as stated? Like if I wanted to do a sponge bob police theme? :P

Thank you.

"You are not allowed Ldraw entries: brick built entries only."

Can't there be an exception to this rule if you only have 1 LEGO set and your name starts with "Lass"?


If not, then I will just have to join in with a set mod :)

I didn't think I could be more stoked than I was before but I am now. Super sweet idea mates! A question though, if we build an entry as part of a dio, does judging take the dio into effect or not?

Oh, and the link on the front page doesn't seem to be working.

Well to be honest Lasse, I really would like you try and enter a brick built entry ;)

Oh yeay sure Tad, we will take it into account, no worries. But the main focus will be the vehicle and fig and off course the idea/humour and all what makes a MOC great :geek:

Oh thanks for pointing that out, its now corrected ;)
