I know i'm 'administering' the contest, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to build something. :)
Here are my starting components:

[Rolf Harris] Can you tell what it is yet? [/Rolf Harris] lol
(and no, I don't have one I made earlier!)
-
An ingenious subterranean machine with which you will be going prospecting for Caroline-Munroesque-Cavebabe Queens?
-
Mmmm... Ginger beer and Pringles...
Don't tell me, you are making a 1970's picnic... ;)
-
Some sort of steampunk vibrator?

No, but you are kind of close. Sadly no Munroescapades. :'(

I know nearly everything I have done in the past year has been Geezer related, but not this time. :o

Good old Hammers, guaranteed to lower the tone. >:D lol
-
I already love the setting… look like a modern art nature morte lol

What?! What!? I've got a bad back and I just imagined the did in, you know, times of steam propelled yore to.

Is it a mole, some sort of tunnelling device?
I was only last night enjoying a tin of Old Jamaica Ginger Beer :P
-
Looks that way to me aswell :)
At least it wasn't an old tin of Jamaica beer, that would just be nasty ;D
cheers

Ah, you know how to enjoy life... ;) lol

Ah yes, but you should have seen what I was eating to go with it ;)
-
This is really starting to get to me ;D ;D
I haven't a clue what it is.
For some reason I thought of the "Liberator" from Blakes 7 o_o Don't know why? I have a strange imagination I suppose ;D
Hurry up and tell us what it is and stop keeping us in suspence :(
-
Tell you what, stick that in the Tate Modern as it is and you'd make a bloody fortune! :)
-
I think its some sort of 'Flash Gorden' Style spaceship ???
Keith :?

Ah yes, good call, it could be. :)

Hey is that a beer can widget there?
An Aeronef?
-
Overlord, you rascal - are you hyping your entry by making us guess what it is? ;) lol
I reckon it's going to be a lighthouse.

[Eric Morcambe] All the same items, but not neccessarily in the same order [/Eric Morcambe] lol
I am intending to build a.........Submarine. A pulp/VSF (no interest in VSF...no....probably not.... ::) )
'Based' on, but not a exact copy on the Nautilus:

Genius! A sour cream and onion flavoured sub.

...or you could do that thing I suggested and call it the 'Naughtilus'. :)
*ducks the rotten tomatoes*

Abandon all attempts at subtlety, and just call it the "Naughty Lass".

I sincerely hope it´s along the "lines" (*nudge nudge wink wink*) of the "classic" Caroline Munro, now that the cavebabe thing fell through.

Have a bit of a thing for her, do you? Why would someone be so obsessed...
Okay, google imaged her. Never mind - I understand now.

And I´m not even the worst of the bunch. lol

I thought I had better post something as I proposed the contest:
Just the initial rough build stage so far. I need to get a move on if I'm going to get it finished in time.

Looks good. Nearly two weeks time, so I think it could be done.
;D

I finally got around to do doing a bit more over the weekend:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/overlord_awc/LAF%20General/Build%20Contests/Transportation/Nautilus01.jpg)
Plastic card to cover the Pringles tube and form the rear hull.
I have embossed it from the inside so that (hopefully) it looks like rivets.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/overlord_awc/LAF%20General/Build%20Contests/Transportation/Nautilus03.jpg)
More plastic card was embossed to form the skin of the conning tower.
A topside deck was made from foam PVC and chequerplate plastic card.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/overlord_awc/LAF%20General/Build%20Contests/Transportation/Nautilus05.jpg)
The black part of the deck was from a car air freshener& looked suitable to use!
The hatch is a metal one I acquired ages ago.....from somewhere.
The side observation pods are the container from a chewable toothbrush....no really!?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/overlord_awc/LAF%20General/Build%20Contests/Transportation/Nautilus04.jpg)
The tail is foam PVC with a propellor cut down from the car freshener
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/overlord_awc/LAF%20General/Build%20Contests/Transportation/Nautilus02.jpg)
The whole sub.
Minor filling & finishing off required prior to painting. :)
-
That's Awesome and yes the rivets look like rivets
-
Inspired, loving it very much ;D
-
Pah, everyone knows Nemo used a Ready Salted tube on the original - this is just make believe. :D
Coming together nicely.

Damn! I should have realised he was an old salt. lol
-
Great stuff.
Your Geezers aren't half going to have a shock when they see that thing moored against their dock!
-
Looking good :-*
What colour are you going to paint it?
Is it for particular game?
-
Thanks for the comments.

I'm going for a colour similar to the "original":

As for a game, nothing specific in mind, most likely for Lost World or Pulp scenarios

This is brilliant, from the crisp tube to the finished article seems to be impossible to imagine :D :D :D :D
