ABS Challenge Round 1.3! by Mark of Falworth

After another long delay, ABS Round 1.3 is here!

The deadline is August 16th (Sunday), 11:59 p.m. relative to each contestant's time zone.

In the Olive Green corner we have SpearralSquid.
In the Azure Blue corner we have Ben M Merrill.
In the Dark Orange corner we have Brother Steven.
Finally, in the Lavender corner we have David FNJ.

As before, the contestants will be putting their builds into the group photo pool as well as adding them in this thread. Commenting/cheering/etc. is encouraged between builds that are being posted.
The contestants must post their first entry within three days of the start date.

Also, the trophy building deadline is 1 week after the reveal of the winner. Or else… ;)

Let the battle of the pink coffee cup commence! Good luck! ;)

I'm starting this round off by hitting the books with Professor PI!

Prof. PI is fun!

Ben M Merrill Posted 10 years ago

It might take a little time, but I've got the Skil to cut the competition down to size.

That's how I saw it.

Now what does the pink mug look like next...

admin

Mark of Falworth Posted 10 years ago

Just so you guys know I am not a judge this round. So I will be cheering you all on! :)

SpearralSquid Posted 10 years ago

Sorry guys, I am aware of the 3 day rule; My build is done, but I can't take a good photo until tomorrow.

Brother Steven Posted 10 years ago

Hope you guys aren't having trouble getting prepared! ;)

SpearralSquid Posted 10 years ago

Yup, I'm prepared to bring out the big guns.

David Rajcok Posted 10 years ago

It's almost been a week! Time to get in the action!

SpearralSquid Posted 10 years ago

My knight can make short work of your puny minifigure spacemen! ;)

Ben M Merrill Posted 10 years ago

I'm still aiming to win this whole shooting match.

Ben M Merrill Posted 10 years ago

My affinity for the pink mug is even starting to grow. Just look at this build blossom:

Mark of Falworth Posted 10 years ago

Wow! These are some fabulous entries guys! :D

Brother Steven Posted 10 years ago

Isn't this a wonderful color to ~~paint~~ build with? ;)

David Rajcok Posted 10 years ago Edited by David Rajcok (admin) 10 years ago

Heh, not for a den! Perhaps a girl's room would be better.

Brother Steven Posted 10 years ago

I thought this piece would be tough, but its really a joyride. ;)

With such a tough part, I'm truly impressed with how many clever usages you guys have found so far. Keep 'em coming! You're nearly there.

brick.spartan Posted 10 years ago

I agree with Ian, you've all been impressively creative on uses for the mug.

SpearralSquid Posted 10 years ago Edited by SpearralSquid (member) 10 years ago

^^^ Yeah, I'll take a joyride, but in a cool mech instead :D

My spaceship takes joyriding to a new level. It's out of this world!

David Rajcok Posted 10 years ago Edited by David Rajcok (admin) 10 years ago

Ooh, I gotta get in on this joyride thing!

I'll take it for a spin on an exotic planet with toxic plants!

Brother Steven Posted 10 years ago

Don't worry guys! You're almost out of the woods! ;)

Well that's it for me! It's been a blast, guys! Lots of great entries from you all! :)

Peace out.

Ben M Merrill Posted 10 years ago

I'm still driving for the finish, and the monster suspension on my truck will let me clear almost any obstacle.

David Rajcok Posted 10 years ago

It's time to chillax.

That was loads of fun, and I throughly enjoyed seeing all of your builds with this pinktastic piece.

SpearralSquid Posted 10 years ago

Before chillaxing, make dinner.

SpearralSquid Posted 10 years ago

And finish with drawing.

Fun round guys! Great to compete! :)

Ben M Merrill Posted 10 years ago

Building till the cows come home, but look what just wandered in:

What a crazy piece! Good round to my fellow builders!
