Title: Without committing to anything: any interest in yet another BSC?
Post by: Hammers on February 27, 2021, 11:30:41 AM
And if so, any theme suggestions?

As per usual I think I think we should keep to practical scenery, vehicle pieces, large sculpts and the like.

interest of course!

I would suggest to build something for the upcoming stargrave rules. (vehicles, shuttles, mission markers)

Yup, assuming I can think of something.

For a theme maybe defences/reinforced is vaguely specific-ish, plus I have an idea that would fit.

That's a good idea and useful to the vast majority of us I would imagine.

Seems like we have enough interest to set things in motion. I’ll make a rough plan and discuss with the moderators.

It would be good to have a few more theme suggestions.

What we have so far is just defences/fortifications.

Take a look at this suggestion page (https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=123760.0).

The suggestions page is 'blocked', well at least to me.

How about:-
A bridge,  A landing pad,  Temporary shelter or Something that has been dug up?

TBH a lot of what is on the list doesn’t grab me, so I’m just offering up my personal top three, as it were, in no particular order:

Defences/fortifications
Difficult terrain, broken ground, obstructions
Buildings

Great!

Personally "Buildings" is a bit too open. I would like to narrow it down to "trading post" or "temple" (as in church or shrine to the Emperor etc) or something like that.

I like difficult terrain. It is a very common feature in scenarios and game boards and can be a lot of different things. The challenge would be to make something original yet practical. I mean, how do you make difficult terrain while still possible to place a miniature on. I think this is my favorite suggestion so far.
Title: Re: Without committing to anything: any interest in yet another BSC?
Post by: Silent Invader on February 28, 2021, 08:25:46 PM
Difficult terrain was the one I took for the list  :D

And yes, it is challenging while offering scope for variety.

A little bit late to this thread, but I'd join BSC again. Looking at the list of potential theme ideas I like defenses, difficult terrain, and production. Overall, however, I don't think the theme really matters all that much for me. I'll build something that fits whatever ends up being chosen.

I am curious though Akula, albeit the rules are not yet established, could you or anyone else give a general concept of how a BSC generally flows regarding expectations from the group;

Do we start our own threads inside a parent thread or is it one thread in entirety for contributers to the given BSC in play?

Are there specific incremental deadlines for 'put up or step off the train Gringo' regarding build progression?

Just a general what has come before as median of what to expect is really what I'm asking.

I have looked at other BSCs' but I am still a bit none the wiser, maybe I'm just thick  lol .

Cheers.

Each person working on the BSC has a thread that takes the project up to a point where it is almost completed.  The completed pictures have to meet a particular format and are submitted to Hammers before closing.  They are then grouped and put up for a vote.  The old BSC threads have all of the old individual threads attached so you can look at each of the old build logs.

Title: Re: Without committing to anything: any interest in yet another BSC?
Post by: snitcythedog on April 04, 2021, 11:33:36 PM
The way it works is a post will be put up with what the competition theme is, the rules and asking who will be involved.  Everyone interested will start a thread in the BSC folder for that year describing what they intend to do.  Once you hit the start date you can start work, posting what you are doing and taking photos of progress or not as the case may be.  A photo of the completed project will be sent to hammers before the end date and this is what will be used for scoring.  Completed photos are not to be posted in the build thread until after all judging is completed.  The build something archive has all the old build threads in it and the old judging heats.  It is not as complicated as it sounds but I hope that helps.
