November 2008 Challenge

judge: Green-Arrow
Build a Space Racer!

We haven't had a spaceship challenge yet this year, so here it is: Build a sci-fi speedster.

The rules:
  1. The Big Gulp by Green-ArrowAll ships must seat at least one minifig. Multiple minifigs are fine, but at the very least you need a pilot. (And any minifigs not fully enclosed within a cockpit had better be wearing a space suit!)
  2. Think speed. Obviously, sleek-looking craft will get favorable marks, as will ships with impressive engines. Clunky or bulky ships can also do well if they creatively suggest speed (like the Millennium Falcon or some of the podracers from Star Wars). The key is, you can't just say the ship is fast – we have to be able to tell just by looking at it.
  3. No weapons, please. These are racers, not fighters.
  4. Paint jobs matter. As with their Earth-bound counterparts, space racers should look sharp. Racing stripes, flames, logos, numbers are all encouraged.
  5. Bonus points if you also build a pit crew and/or garage (but totally optional).
Start your engines and have fun!

Al...I think this is the tightest, sleekest build you've shown on this site. Your skills are nearly complete. Impressive, most impressive. Thanks GA for choosing me as the winner. I'll get on a challenge idea as soon as possible. I figure that we'll have a Christmas/Holliday challenge too. Here's what I'm thinking....a two-month general challenge in addition to the holiday challenge. I'll post a challenge topic soon (I hope). Thanks again and great job to all of you who entered. There were some awesome last-minute entries.
