Gyre-Weasel Slaughterhouse Productions present: Dr. Relativity’s Quest for Reality!!!

From: ResDevDeptCom
Casualty: KIA: 12 WIA: 3 MIA: 1
Disaster has struck G.I. Joes research department. GI Joe’s top scientist, codename: Dr. Relativity, had finally finished the Deluxe Omnidirectional Omega Ray Matter Teleporter, or D.O.O.R.Ma.T for short. Unbeknownst to the research team, the teleporter has the ability to tear apart time and space. The multi-dimensional time space vortex, that resulted from the initial test run, killed most of the scientists. Large pieces of bodily tissue having been teleported throughout time. There was no sign of Dr.Relativity or the D.O.O.R.Ma.T. Both are presumed lost.

++++++++++++++++++


Dr. Relativity was not killed. He has been teleported through time. Turns out Cobra has been an underground force of evil since the beginning of time. They are the reason the snake is such a hated creature even til today. Upon discovering this Dr. Relativity gathered the best and brightest heros of good to battle against Cobra. Using his vast 20th century knowledge he arms them with the best equipment he can create. Your job is to create these historic heros and villans. Were the 3 musketeers really Gi Joes? What would caveman skypatrol look like? Did Ace shootdown the Red Baron?

The rules are simple. Be a tanker in good standing. All entries must be new. Entries should be posted in this thread. If you create a thread for your custom, post a link in this thread. All entries must meet the posting guidelines of Hisstank. Images will need to be available until the contest end date. The historic characters need to come from a time prior to established Gi Joe continuity. So we will say it must predate the vietnam war. The Contest Ends on Feb 5th.

The Grandprize for this contest is:
1: A one of a kind modern era sculpted head of Dr. Relativity from Bill Merklein. (pictures will be available when the sculpt is finished.) This well known historical scientist will be quite unique in anyones joe collection. Thus the winner will get to return Dr. Relativity to his own reality, to bring him to life as they see fit for their Joe-verse
2: Larry Hama will write up a filecard for the winning entry and Gunslingcbr will create it for the winner



In a slight change from our previous contests the grand prize will go to the top skiled entry. However slaughterhouse is for everyone. We have 3 more categories that can be entered by anyone no matter the skill level.
1: Creat a diorama or battlescene where any of the 90’s era neon camo actually works. i.e. Alley Vipers raid a rave
2: Create a Joe/Cobra character themed toy without using any GI Joe parts. This can be any scale. How close it resembles a 3 3/4" hasbro joe is up to you. Dressing a 12” doll up as a joe isn’t very creative. Making a littlest pet shop Scarlet cat or Cobra Viper potato head is creative.
3: Kids have all the fun. Get your kids to make a custom, preferable following one of our themes. Photographic evidence of the kids at work is required

PrizesL

One of a kind custom head sculpted by Bill Merklein (The head is Dr. Reality)
One of a kind custom filecard written by Larry Hama and produced by our own Gunslingrcbr
A Red Shadows Roboskull w/ TWO POC Alley-Vipers
A Dreadnok Ground Assault Jeep w/ TWO POC canceled green Range-Vipers.
A kids prize to be announced later


We have a new twist. Since the overall contest will be going on for almost 3 months. To keep the excitement up Gyre or myself will be presenting Slaughterhouse challenges. These will be shorter termed events for various prizes. So keep an eye on this thread.

________________________
And Now a Message from Gyre-Viper:


Hello Everyone. First things first… I’d like to take a moment to thank
Larry Hama and Bill Merklein and Gunslingercbr for providing some
insanely generous and wonderful prizes. With the Slaughterhouse
contests, we’ve always strived to provide fantastic or unexpected
prizes. Last time we tried to cater to both collectors and
customizers, and this time is no different… but I believe we’ve
definitely amped it up this time. Mr. Hama was very happy to
contribute a prize, especially for Hisstank.com. Mr. Hama seems to be
very fond of this site and that can be attributed in part, I’d assume,
to his fans (all of you) here on Hisstank.com. Mr. Merklein was also
very happy to sculpt a one-of-a-kind head for the contest… and even
though he’s never been to this site… nor any other joe site… he hears
about the community through me and is very honored by the enthusiasm
that some of you have for his ARAH sculptures. And as for Mr.
Gunslingercbr, we are very excited to have him on board. Most of you
should be familiar with his customs, and there’s no one we’d rather
have helping us to bring Mr. Hama’s prize to life. After I had talked
to Mr. Hama, a few of us were trying to figure out how to actually get
a file card done and someone mentioned Gunslingercbr and it made so
much sense that it’s really the only way we’d want it and so we’re very
grateful that it all worked out. So a giant, enormous, unending THANK
YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of them.

Second, I would like to thank Swindle (the meerkat formerly known as
CdtWeasel) who invented the Slaughterhouse contest and has hosted all
of them and whose enthusiasm for Slaughterhouse keeps it alive. As
long as Swindle keeps coming up with fun categories and themes, I’ll
keep trying to come up with fun prizes.

Now onto Slaughterhouse. For those of you unfamiliar with the
Slaughterhouse contests… they’re designed so that anyone can at least
enter… even if you feel you have NO customizing skills whatsoever.
I’ve included links below to previous Slaughterhouse contests and
threads. Basically, the idea is to just let go. It’s a chance to
exercise your wit or just simple chaos. It’s a chance to be limitless
and silly, but still artistic and focused. This time around there’s
some more ‘serious’ categories but there’s still room for mutated
concepts. So while you may not feel you can enter one of the serious
categories (I know I couldn’t)… there’s still categories where someone
with absolutely NO experience customizing can enter and possibly win.
Obviously, if anyone has any questions… feel free to pm us or use this
thread. Good luck everyone and have a blast!!!!!!!! (And as you
know, anything can happen in a Slaughterhouse contest, and I while I
can’t make any promises, there’s always the off-chance that more prizes
[and winners] will find their way into the finale). Fasten your
seatbelts… safe time travel is crucial.

For those unfamiliar with Slaughterhouse, here are links to our previous contests.

Holy CRAP.

C'mon, these are tankers you're talking about here.

[The L.O.C.]

dio scene huh?, I may have a shot at something. Great contest!!!

[Mermaniel]

mmm interesting.

[laurenluna1977]

Just for clarification, when you say "historic" this also encompasses literary/fictional historic rather than historic-historic right, i.e. like the 3 Musketeers you mentioned? So, e.g., Jean Val Jean, Capt. Ahab, and Sherlock Holmes, would just be as valid as Nietzsche, Jesus, and Lao-Tzu?

[misfit1015]

awesome... I already have some ideas for this one.

[Zartanman]

IMPRESSIVE... Most Impressive.

This should be interesting.

[Sector_15]

Hmm. Yes and no.

I think we would prefer Gi Joes or Cobras as they would appear in another time, as opposed to an established character (fictional or non-fictional) as a Gi Joe/Cobra agent.

Too use Jesus as an example. Not really looking for a custom of Jesus as if he was about to go give the sermon on the mount. Jesus as a GI Joe would work. Though Jesus shooting lighting bolts and hacking at cobra troopers with a sword, while cool and quite slaughterhouse, would be a bit too silly and probably be easily outjudged.

If you think your best work would be making a Gi Joe Sherlock Holmes, than go for it, impress us.

So more along the lines of Alpine, Bazooka, and Quick Kick as the 3 Musketeers and Lowlight as Buffalo Bill or just make them so they look like they fit into that timeline?

[Cdt Weasel]

Added one clarification to the rules. The historic characters need to come from a time prior to established Gi Joe continuity. So we will say anything before the Vietnam War.

[Cdt Weasel]

So more along the lines of Alpine, Bazooka, and Quick Kick as the 3 Musketeers and Lowlight as Buffalo Bill or just make them so they look like they fit into that timeline?

I'd say more of make them look like they fit into the timeline. They can be entirely new characters with unique codenames as well. After all a caveman wouldnt know what a Bazooka is or where the Alps are. Also do you want Hama to write you up a filecard of a character that already exists, or something really unique.

Any bonus for leaving a flaming bag of yule log on your doorstep? ;)

No, but I got an address in Shykagough that will net you mucho brownie points.

[Nirvana]

No, but I got an address in Glitterland that will net you mucho brownie points.

I'm already working on having that one scheduled, too. He'll probably just think I'm getting revenge on his slacker butt, though. ;)


So no Cow options this year or maybe something down the mini-contest road? :P

[Gyre-Viper]

Dudes, you two have outdone yourselves. I didn't even think that was going to be possible.

Holy CRAP.


Thanks Mr. 2783. We put a lot of thought into the contest and the prizes.

[Cdt Weasel]

Actually I want to thank whomever failed to start up the contest for nov. Originally we were only going to have slaughterhouse up from Dec-Feb. Thanks to the lack of a contest this month, the tank gets to bask in the glory of Slaughterhouse for 3 months.

[Stl_Brgd_PFC_Ramar]

Woot! Woot!

[Gyre-Viper]

a Slaughterhouse contest finally gets front paged and gets bumped down by like 300,000 other news bits. it's a conspiracy!!!!!!!

[arthurdent]

Hmm... Like dark ages versions of the characters?

[Cdt Weasel]

Dark ages is ok, but you are not limited to the dark ages.

[daremo]

Think of it as Joes and Cobras thoughout the ages. Whatever period of time they are in, they look the part and fit in. At least that's what I think the plan is...

[Cdt Weasel]

Ya got it.

[Nirvana]

I have an idea. Or three.

now these ain't supposed to be joes right? these are like real ppl but some how affiliated in cobra, like say jesse james actually wasn't working for the confederates and actually working for cobra and robbing trains to put the money in building the organization? is that right or no?

[Magick]

O.k. I love the prizes so much...especially the green range vipers as mine is sealed in his box.. I may have to do this and do it many times as to try and win the prize I want. LOL

updated challenge #1 prize list

Got some idears brewing for this one. I think one of those cancelled Range Vipers would be a great prize for this one...

Especially if no one else enters it, and I'm the only one...

I REALLY want one of those damn things.

I don't think I've said it, but this contest seems awesome, all around, and I'm stoked to be a part of it--prizes be damned. Just like with the board RPG, it isn't about winning or losing, just about having fun. And anything that inspires new, creative ideas is a plus in my book.

Thanks to bit of you guys for sponsoring it.

Yeah, I almost missed it myself. I just happened to notice it elsewhere...


This sounds like a really fun contest. Don't know if I'll be able to enter this one, but it sure will be fun to see what everyone comes up with either way.

Oh... and you guys are CRAZY... just letting you know. Carry on...carry on. ;)

[Imperial_Ozma]

Wooh this contest ends on my Birthday, and PoC is being restocked at work, these are good omens.

Would love to get in on the gender bender challange... after all I do have some expertise in transformations of that nature

I do have a question about the main challange... Is mythic history excepted? Like the Chinese Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or Greek mythological figures?

Maybe the demigods were actually genetic experiments by cobra...

Maybe play out the Garden of Eden with Cobra Commander as "the snake"

something like that.

[Rasstis]

Funny, this fits my Joe verse with the installation of cobra -la being around forever and cc being over 1000 years old. I will try to enter, but eh, time is not my friend these days. I so need to write out that time line one day for all of you. COBRA!

It also fits mine with Cobra being an insular society that recruited the best and brightest across time...

I do have one really good idea though.

[Robowang]

Do these have to be modern sculpt figures or can we make ARAH-style figures?

[Gyre-Viper]

Do these have to be modern sculpt figures or can we make ARAH-style figures?

we've always encouraged ARAH styled entries. The winner of the very first Slaughterhouse contest was an o-ring ARAH entry.

As I've said elsewhere go for what you feel will be your strongest entry. As long as your entry has a good backstory to give it that Joe vs Cobra feel you will be golden. As long as you can make gyre and I believe your entry belongs under the theme, it will work.

bahahahahahHAHAHAHAHhahahahhahahHAHAhaha

[sgcaper]

Wow! I'm already thinking of ideas for this one. Great concept and I can't wait to see the way Tankers execute this idea.

[ggrr]

This is a fantastic figure design. No joke.

[Robowang]

Okay, I have two awesome ideas for the history contest! Woo!

I've never done this before. Do I post work in progress images here? Or do people steal ideas then? Or does that give me dibs on who I'm doing? Or is it better to just give the effect of a finished figure when I'm done, and does that get posted here too? Or do I PM images to the judges?

[Cdt Weasel]

I would wait to show all images until you are finished. Images of the finished figure need to be posted here. You can start your own thread for your custom, but be sure to post an image or two and a link to the thread here.

[General Hawk 7]

Daremo... that figure is like taking a cold shower! lol

Thankfully Nirvana set things right again with the picture he posted.
All is in balance again! ;)

[Sector_15]

Here's my Gender Bender entry.

Will "Scarlett" O'Hara.

While it's claimed his codename was inspired by the Gone with the Wind character Scarlett O'Hara. Will insists it came from Robin Hood's friend Will Scarlett.
Although it's probably because he's a redhead.

However in the UK a "Scarlett" type character called Quarrel was released before we got Scarlett. Basically she had slightly different colours and short blond hair.
So with a change of webgear and head I present.

Sepp "Quarrel" Pulver.

Slaughterhouse Challenge #1:
Gender Bender
Ends: 11/20 at Noon
Prize: MOC Iron Man Weapon Assault Drone & moreTBD (leaning towards stuff for your fodder bin at the moment)


Others have deemed it appropriate to give our beloved characters gender changes. So show us your best The Baron, or 'Sean' "Scarlette" O'hara or perhaps go for the full monty switch gender and race, and give us Juwanna "Flint" Mann, etc.etc..

bump

Never heard of it.

[RATFINK]

awww hell why not i will make something

[speedocub]

Gender Bender Entry:
Codename: The Baron (How original)
Real Name: Alabaster Decobray

The Baron is easily the most dangerous Cobra agent in the genderbender verse. Cobra Commander herself has decorated the Baron several times with the Cobra Triple Cluster of Valor. Despite all his achievements and world travels he has yet to find a great pair of boots nor a pair of sunglasses that really fits.

I probably won't get done a gender bender... was going to do Tomiko Arashikage... ah well.

[Gyre-Viper]

[daremo]

I finally have an idea for a history hero. I'm just hoping it will be done in time and that it turns out at least half as cool as what's in my head. Dream big and fall short, that's my motto.

I probably won't get done a gender bender... was going to do Tomiko Arashikage... ah well.

I made a Tomiko Arashikage too. Unfortunately she can't be seen until the middle of December because it was for another project.

There have been some great gender bender Joes and Cobras but I want to see more! Where's Cover Boy, Gung Ho, Wild Wilma, and Head Woman? There's still a couple days to finish one...

[Cdt Weasel]

Yeah time is running out folks for the gender bender contest. The prizes aren't spectacular, ( IM2 Weapon drone, PP crimson guard, Tiger SNake rip attack vehicle) but they are good fodder and may be useful in forthcoming challenges.

[Nirvana]

At least two of those I was working on finishing up today, daremo. Thanks! :P

But seriously, two of those I was working on.

[kneroh]

Fantastic work Speedo!

[Cdt Weasel]

The baron is nice, but my favorite part is the fluff about not finding sunglasses that fit.

[Robowang]

There have been some great gender bender Joes and Cobras but I want to see more! Where's Cover Boy, Gung Ho, Wild Wilma, and Head Woman? There's still a couple days to finish one...

Oh my gosh, those are all amazing ideas. I want to see Head Woman!

(not to be confused with, "I want to see head, woman!")

Also, my main contest entry is coming along nicely! I'm glad we had three months to do this, though. I don't know how any of you have time to do the smaller challenges AND work on the main event, but I guess I've never really customized before, so I'm probably taking the long route with everything.

[xSwamiJayx]

GENDER BENDER ENTRY:
Tomiko "Tomie" Arashikage aka Storm Shadow

Much like Mulan before her, Tomie only wanted to honor her father's name. As an only child, and a female at that, she was forbidden from studying in her father's dojo.

Undeterred, she watched from the shadows, trained in secret and became a ninja master.

Then some white floozy with a scarred up face and big American booty came, forced her way in and studied the very same arts that Tomie had been forbidden from studying. Then, Tomie's father was murdered! OMFG!

Tomie blamed the white floozy and swore revenge. So she joined Cobra.

I have an entry for myself and one the gf worked on. This is mine.

GENDER BENDER ENTRY: Headwoman!!! (not to be confused with MissyDee)

Shaking down Ewoks may be a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. After all, the little furballs grow the crops in their "pumpkin patches" which the Headhunters will then process and deliver to the market. But the little crappers got greedy and tried to steal by selling some pumpkins on the side. The last words they heard will be remembered forever, "I'm Headwoman! You fudge with me, you fudgin' with the best!"








(Seriously, they grow pumpkins. Look at the size of those things! Can you imagine how many Farmer's Market Harvest contests you could win with something the size of a house? We're talking tens of hundreds of dollars!)

Gf's entry. Beyond cracking the torso and adjusting the Indy arms to fit, it's all her. Creepy.

GENDER BENDER ENTRY: Cover Boy! (Cort A. Kreiger)

Eat your heart out, Burt Reynolds! There's a new sex symbol in town. In Cort's line of work, "these pants are too tight" has never been uttered on the battlefield. Whether's he's riding on Wolverine's back, shooting a six-shooter while looking good, or posing in the buff with pets covering him; Cort A. Kreiger has never been one to shy away from danger or the limelight.

Great idea for contest!

[skrapps]

quick question.. would a custom male dial tone figure work as a gender bender entry? since dial tone is a female in modern joeverse? if not that should be stated as a rule "if the character has already been gender bent in modern times, you cannot bend gender back to its original"

Gender Reassingment Surgery is irreversible, that's why peple who want it are subjected to a one year "real life test," it's not a policy I neccessarily agree with but do understand the logic... So I wonder how Dialtone could get back to her original body XD

As a serious note, I think they're really two different characters so if the challange wasn't over I think you could do it, and if you want to do it for fun I'd love to see.

I just wish I hadn't been so busy this month I really wanted to get a post-operative figure out there.

Time to announce the first challenge winner. The vote was pretty unanimous, as we are still laughing our asses off about it. Congratulations Daremo on your female Slaughter. Nothing says slaughterhouse like Slaughter herself. Pm me an addy and I'll get your prize out to ya.

MICROCHALLENGE#2

"THE MACGUYVER."

Okay... this challenge requires pretty much zero actual customizing experience so therefore... anyone can win.

All it takes is some creativity. (It might help to put on a brown leather jacket).

FOR THIS CHALLENGE... YOU MUST CREATE A GI JOE (OR SEVERAL) USING THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE.
PAPERCLIPS, FOOD, GARBAGE, FORKS, KNIVES, SPOONS, MARSHMALLOWS, STAPLERS... ANY HOUSEHOLD ITEM. YOU MAY NOT USE ANY TOY PARTS. NONE. NOT A SINGLE TOY PART OR ANYTHING SIMILAR. YOU MAY NOT USE ANYTHING RELATED TO TOYS... I.E. NO ART OR DRAWINGS OR PICTURES OF TOYS. YOU CAN PAINT YOUR CREATION BUT YOU MAY NOT USE DECALS. YOU CAN DRAW OR PAINT A FACE ON IT ETC... BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO PAINT IT AT ALL. AND HERE'S WHY:

THERE WILL BE TWO WINNERS FOR THIS CHALLENGE.
YOU CAN ENTER BOTH CHALLENGES AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE.

THE FIRST WINNER WILL BE THE PERSON WHO MAKES SOMETHING THAT LOOKS THE MOST LIKE AN ACTUAL GI JOE USING NOTHING BUT HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. THIS MIGHT REQUIRE PAINTING THE 'SCULPTURE'-AS-IT-WERE OR IT MIGHT REQUIRE A MORE 'SERIOUS' APPROACH TO THE CHALLENGE.

THE SECOND WINNER WILL BE THE PERSON WHO MAKES THE FUNNIEST OR MOST AMUSING OR MOST CREATIVE HOUSEHOLD GI JOE THAT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY LOOK EXACTLY LIKE SAID JOE BUT GETS THE POINT ACROSS ENOUGH EITHER THROUGH SARCASM OR HUMOR OR JUST OUTLANDISH PARTS AND APPROACH. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO REALLY
BE RIDICULOUS BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MORE IT DOES LOOK LIKE AN OBVIOUS GI JOE CHARACTER, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO WIN.


WINNER #1 WILL RECEIVE A LOOSE SHOCK TROOPER.

WINNER #2 WILL RECEIVE A CRAP LOAD OF BOOTLEG COBRA TROOPERS (the ones made by Black Major).


if you have any questions let me or Swindle know.
THIS CONTEST ENDS NEXT SUNDAY at 6pm Central.
I'm really bad with timezones so you figure it out.

a pet if he had to... I guess I have no reason to say no.

I will certainly never look at my Jungle-Vipers in any serious manner ever again. Thanks, Shogi. Way to ruin it.

Glad to help :D

thanks, it came to me as i was freezing my ass off smoking on the back porch. that's a lighter in his left hand, couldn't get a pic w/ it lit. was great fun crafting the thing.

That is a pretty cool idea

So that's what happens when you add water to a Jungle Viper :D

LOL nice! :D

[ShockVal]

No they don't! That is why you ask them to go take sexy pictures instead of have sex. Nothing illegal about picture taking. And the UC's wont agree to it.
Well, if you'd send me my secret stash... wait. You're not a cop, are you? Because you know you have to say if you are when asked.

Superman from the Playskool India release. Excellent work. :D

[Gyre-Viper]

good job weasel. now head on down to Mordor and whip up an actual volcano viper

[Robowang]

So anyone have a guess as to when we might start to see the Dr. Relativity contest customs start rolling in? Think people will wait until the last minute to post them all? I still have a lot of work to do, myself.

[General Hawk 7]

How long do we have for this current micro contest again?

[Nirvana]

Who?

[Gyre-Viper]

Sorry everyone. Have been quite busy the past few days (new baby coming and all). This mini-contest is of course over. But I want to thank everyone who participated. All of the entries cracked me up. Some of them were extremely inspired. Will announce winners after a small pow-wow with Weasel, who will be announcing the next mini-contest at some point as well.

[Cdt Weasel]

A month has gone by and not one serious entry posted yet under any of the 3 themes, or the kids participation bit. I think that is a first. I do hope to start seeing some soon.

[Gyre-Viper]

not sure what happened. I announced the winners and the post didn't stick. so here I go again...


the winners of the macguyver mini-contest are:

SHOGI's Cobra Commander that looks like a post-apocalyptic doll
and
ODINSON's literally deviceful and creative b.a.t. #2774400.

both were very inventive.

so congrats to those guys. please pm me with your addresses.

thank you to everyone who participated. weasel will be announcing the next mini-contest at some point so watch this space!!!!!

[General Hawk 7]

Oh crap. Well I guess next time I had better pay attention to the deadline.
Any chance you'll do another of this same micro contest?
I was making something that would have been SO flipping funny. Heck, I was cracking up out loud when I came up with the idea. :D
The best part would have been the people' responses to it. Shock? Horror? Bewilderment? Insanity? Worship? hahaha. Okay, well I think at least it would definitely have had some " I can't believe" factor to it. lol

I guess I'll save it just in case.

Congrats to the all the smile bringing entries though! Good stuff!
MORE MORE MORE!!!! Funniest contest EVER!!!
EPIC WIN!!!!
MORE MORE MORE!!!

on a side note, whoo hoo! CC FTW! There was some tough competition out there, both Bats, Ice Cream Soldier. I can't wait to participate with you guys in the next micro contest

[the odinson]

'twas surely a fun time had by all. congratulations, shogi, all your entries cracked me up.

I will post mine as soon as it's done (it's really hard to resist posting in-progress pics), but I probably won't be done for a while as I'm self-teaching every step of the way, and I've never really done this before. I'm not even to the painting step yet, but I hope to be there after Christmas since I can work over break (I teach! Two week break! Woo!).

[arthurdent]

Still working on my diorama as well... I will post as soon as it's done.

[Cdt Weasel]

Is our little contest forgotten?

[Nirvana]

I'm working on another or two.

[Gyre-Viper]

no one wants free shit I guess. eh.

[daremo]

The entries will come. December is just a bad time for custom contests in general because of the season. Personally, I haven't had any time to do any of the new micro challenges because of other projects I need to finish. I would had made a jello bio viper if I could.

I'm mostly focused on completing one entry for the main contest. Although I had 3 ideas, I decided to go with the best one.

[Cdt Weasel]

Too busy to cram a few vipers and baroness in a nativity scene? p'shaw

[Gunzlingr]

I am putting the finishing touches on my 2 entries. Probably not the level of awesome that wins stuff, but I think they are pretty cool.

[Robowang]

My Nativity entry: Manger Danger!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/Robowang/mangerdanger1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/Robowang/mangerdanger2.jpg

Of course, it's an interpretation of the actual events...Mindbender as creator and Baroness as supporter, but hey, it works! We've got Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, three wise men each with a gift, and animals!

Edit: I don't need no stinking shepherds!

[Nirvana]

Thank god we know from the story that Mindbender never scored with the Baroness. :D

No christmas tree vipers yet? Ok time to sweeten the pot. Best Tree viper gets 2 JV's and a ROC Night Raven.

we want people to actually enter the contests, Cdt.

[Robowang]

Hey, I don't own one, but the RoC Night Raven looks fun! It's a decent-sized Cobra jet! Just attached to a movie a lot of people seem to have disliked(I liked it fine...). Is the toy itself really that awful on its own?

[dragongravy]

the christmas tree jungle viper! if i had more time i would have added more lights and actually re-wired the lights so the wires were shorter. i also apologize for the cell phone pics, if i can get the wifes camera i will re shoot the pics.

I own two myself. Never would pay full retail for it though. It is half the size of the classic raven, and the play feature is rather silly. Other than that it is a nice sized jet. In my air force the 2 ROC ravens are the fighter escort for the recon/bomber ARAH Raven.


Also gyre, I'm doing the best I can with the budget I have. :op Unfortunatley the stores around me have been rather barren of the more sought after items.

I would say it's more because it's a far cry from its namesake it's keeping the trademark alive for and was a pricey little item to boot when it came out. If it had started at $25 to $30 and was "Night Raven II", I think the flak would have been far less. Hard to stand up to a 3-seater SR-71 with mini jet when you're a smaller 1-seater plane.


On its own, I like the N.Raven II as a smaller stealth jet. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see its big brother come back, though.

[Robowang]

Ah, thanks for the info then. So not terrible on its own...just a lot to live up to.

(And I can't join the Jungle Viper contest...going out to spend $7 on a Jungle Viper takes away from the money I am scraping together to buy paints for the big contest custom. I own no fancy paint! Unless I can use those squeeze bottle acryllics my wife has.)

[Nirvana]

A true ARAH Nativity Scene. (sorry, daremo. lol)

I know, not exactly the prize I'm most proud of, but at least we got one possible winner so far.
