Presenting the Third ‘Build Something’ Contest for the much coveted Potato Cup!
The 2012 edition of the ‘Build Something’ Contest will be brought to you jointly by Workbench and Build Something czars Hammers & Overlord.
Theme
The subject for this contest will be: WATER
Water often features on a table, be it as the very base for naval games or as an obstacle like a river bisecting the gaming board. It can be put on the gaming table as a decorative centrepiece like a pond or a waterfall or to set the ambience like an icy peak or a snow covered wood.
Water is considered by many to be quite challenging to get to look just right from a modelling aspect. Be it a turquoise lagoon of the South Seas, waves crashing onto a Normandy beach, ice flows on a winter river or bubbles of swamp gas popping, the task you set for yourself should put you to the test.
Your challenge for this edition of the competition for the Potato Cup is to build a water themed construct, that is, a model, terrain feature or small gaming board/mat, for wargaming. Remember that originality as well as craftsmanship is most likely to be rewarded in the voting rounds, so be at your best!
Restrictions
Our hope is that this leaves the contest sufficiently open for all periods, and for imagination and creativity to roam free. In accordance with previous years the aim is to build something practical and useful for the gaming table which can be constructed within the bounds of an average workbench.
There are however some restrictions to the competition:
1) The main feature of your build must be something to do with water in any of its possible states.
2) The idea is for scratch-building to form the major part of an entry. If kits, pre-made resin/metal/plastic/etc parts are used they should ideally form only a minor contribution.
3) While enhancing features like bridges, islet, rocks and pollution will be accepted to compliment the build, we ask you to keep in mind that it is the representation of water which is the focus of the competition.
4) The build should, in the general tradition of the Lead Adventure Forum, be something you would use on your gaming board; we are not looking for dioramas or display models.
5) If you absolutely feel the need to build something like the methane lakes of Titan rather than something out of H2O we will probably not disqualify you, but please check with the competitions runners beforehand if you are uncertain about theme interpretation.
6) All construction & painting should take place during the contest, no previously built/started items please. The idea of the contest is to give you an incentive to build something you have just not got around to doing previously.
We do not wish to make the contest too restrictive for those taking part (or ourselves running it), so may we ask that a modicum of common sense is employed? Voters will (hopefully) decide whether the amount of scratch-building is sufficient. The posting of a WIP thread for an entry is likely to aid voter choice.
WIP Thread
Members can post WIP photos if they like. The advantage of WIPs means they can be used for future reference and would allow people to see how the item was constructed. Each entrant should start a WIP thread for their own submission. WIPs only please! No completed items until after the contest has ended. Posting such a thread is however NOT compulsory.
Entries
For final entries you can submit up to 3 photos:
-A single photo of the finished item (Minimum entry requirement)
-Another that can be a single or composite photo (of multiple smaller photos) of the finished item.
-One photo of the finished, but unpainted, entry.
The photos may include a few miniatures/vehicle to indicate size/use/practicality of the item but remember that the entry itself should be the focus of the presentation.
The maximum size of each photo is limited to 800x800 pixels.
Photographs including title of the entry should be submitted to: buildsomething3@tsome.com
Voting
We will randomly group entries into several polls. The number of polls will be dependant on the total number of entries. The winner of each initial poll will go through to a Grand Final vote. The number of entries in the Grand Final poll will thus be equal to the number of polls in the first round. If the Grand Final vote is a tie, the win goes to the highest percentage (not number) of votes in the previous round.
Dates
The closing date for entries is 2359 hrs GMT on Saturday 5 January 2013.
Initial voting commences Monday 7 January and closes at 2359 hrs GMT on Saturday 12 January 2013.
'Grand Final' voting commences Monday 14 January and closes on 2359 hrs GMT Saturday 19 January. Final result will be posted on Sunday 20 January.
(NB. If we receive only a small number of entries, just a single round of voting will take place).
Winners
The winner will, besides winning the immensely prestigious Potato Cup and the envy and respect of his peers, get to pick his or her prize from a list of priceless items (tat from the lead piles of Hammers and Overlord). Two runners up will also select a prize.
If you have any questions please post in this thread or PM both Hammers and Overlord.
Let the scratch building commence. Good luck to you all!

Hooray :D
Now to start something that will languish in the cupboard ;D
Quick question, whereabouts do the wip threads go? I'm assuming on this board.
cheers
James

I'm in. Small watermill for the War of the Roses medieval village project, methinks.
-
I think I might give it a shot this time around. It will get me going on a project I have planned a long time. I plan to build a floating pier for my Pirate set up.

Yes, in this board. One thread per entry, please.
-
I think I shall make something to. I am not sure I will enter the competition, perhaps only if a voting group needs a bit of padding.
-
Oh now that's just too tempting...
I've been wanting to build a small oasis to go with my pulp Egyptian scenery for ages now, and this could be the impetus I need to get started.
Of course, given that I have no time at all to paint at the moment (thanks, LittleBob!) I may start something and never actually get it finished, but its still worth a punt.
Will have a think on't... ;)
-
Thinking hat on...
-
I shall attempt something...
-
Just a couple of questions:
1) is it possible a collaboration? so a single project will be - for example - scratchbuilt by someone and painted by someone else?
2) A dry watermill is considered inherent with the "water" theme? A Huge dry bottle, or anything similar? I mean, does it need to be water in it? Because the indications above are a little ambiguous on that.
Thanks,
Jack

Using Lego? ;)

YES!!!
I stand by what I said, lego makes for the best templates when cutting plasticard.

You are one for turning rules inside out, aren't you? >:D
I shall have to confer with Overlord but for now you can consider both 1) and 2) above answered with 'No'. If you have a specific idea which you are uncertain it is in accordance with the rules, please post the question or PM us. It is impossible to be absolute in the restrictions while at the same time wanting to encourage creativity.

Turning rules is my favourite hobby. Actually i don't have a specific idea,but before starting thinking about it i wanted to know both those things.
Basically, i don't like that much using the water effect, unless it's used for other purposes, like windows or such...
For the collaboration, i'm saying that because i've a friend of mine in mind, a painter! But otherwise i can paint it by myself! =)
-
Shucks. That'll be my watermill out then.
-
YES!!!

I use lego for several such things myself.
-

Not at all. Sang* asked if a dry watermill would be OK. I said no. A watermill with some representation of water propelling the mill would be OK.
-
Thanks Hammers but the mill would have been effectively 'dry' as it is to sit upon the river on my existing terrain boards. No worries though, the ruling is a very fair one and I'll give it more thought to see if I can make it work some other way. :)
-
The daunting thing about this is knowing what the members of this forum are capable of. I would feel a bit like a Sunday League pub team taking on Brazil! As they say, however, it's the taking part that counts.
Great theme though. I can't wait to see what people come up with.
-
Hammers, I have a few ideas that have been sitting on the back burner for rather a long time, I bet everyone's surprised :)
One I've been thinking of is a sewer system board (yep, another tile based board). Not going to get the whole thing done in time with a new baby etc but I'd like to get the first/test tile done. Would that be allowed or is it too 'diorama' for this?
-

Maybe you still could, so long as you get the water effect as it drips from the mill wheel....

'Polluted' water is OK. As segment of a complex sewer board would also be OK. I think I wrote something to that effect in the rules.
-

It cannot be a minor aspect of the build. It has to be something obvious, like a water wheel churning the river up pretty good. Again, it is the modelling of water in various forms which is in focus here.
Analogously, when Overlord and I discussed the rules we considered a steam engine emitting a puff of steam as not cricket. On the other hand a steam engine exploding in a cloud of, well..., steam, would.
Pull *that* one of and I am willing to bet we have a winner...

Oh, hogwash... I am sure you'll do fine. Plus, I recommend that you do a search for water effects here on LAF. There are some very good tutorials and sources of inspiration here.
-
What if it was something that contained water... an opened-top water tower, where you could see the contents? I'm not trying to push the boundaries here, just establishing some limits :)
-

Now that's an interesting idea...
Although I think I'll stick with my original plan for a Japanese waterfall :)

Fair point!
Maybe if he built a water mill with a section of river attached so that he could sit it on top of one of his boards, with full churning effect....
Dammit, Hammers, you have gotten me thinking of potential 'water' based projects that may fit into my existing scenery now... >:( >:( >:(

Sounds OK to me, as long as there is a fair bit of water visible.
Let me just add this (and it is not specifically in regard to your idea for a build): Overlord and I only set the scope off the competition. How imaginatively, creatively and skilfully you make a representation of water will be judged by your peers. This is a competition and we hope it will spur you to push your boundaries a little bit.

Hogwash? Now that gives me an idea! Thanks Hammers.

Hogwash? Now that gives me an idea! Thanks Hammers.
There is more where that came from. When Overlord and I discussed themes and settled for water I made a long list of anticipated entries. It was quite fun!
-
Thanks, Hammers! Looking forward to this one :)

Can I be unimagainative and use this as an excuse to make a modular river for myself ;)
-

I'll bet that's some list! I currently have two frontrunning ideas including 'Hammers' Hogwash'.
-

Of course you can!
-
I wonder if I can get textured plastic in bulk somewhere...
-
Right, I need to get some good ideas in for this!! ::) My original idea for a boathouse for my brothers pirate table has been kyboshed seen as there wouldn't be any water effects in it!! :(
-
Shame this arrived this month and not last otherwise I would have entered my waterfall !
Good thing I haven't included my pictures of the rapids....
When you talk about Water can we include Ice?
Cheers

Hi Hammers
Thank you that ICE is included - been thinking of building an Arctic table for sometime - how I will sqeeze this into all the other projects dont know....
there again maybe I do something for my Pirates?
Eric :D
-
Finally a reason to finish my massive waterfall piece and modular river pieces count me in! ;)
-
I have space for a river running through my pirate board, I amy do that for the comp, time permitting.
I am thinking flaoting barrels, sunken long boat, a corpse or two and some rubbish floating through the town.
Any other ideas of things I can add are welcome.
-
Ok, I'm back in...... It's post-apoc rather than medieval but it will include flowing water!
-
Of course you can!

Well, if you dont, we will send some of our lads to wrench that potato out of your hands. I seriously hope you haven't eaten it or planted it...

Oh, another "Build Something" contest ... ;D
Would I have time ... ???

I hve my idea and have just ordered all the bits....
I wont be telling yee all coz it my precious.....
Eric ???

PS - its not fair - I built my river a few weeks ago with homebase tiles...and I built a waterfall...and rapids but they wont believe me
we will show them my precious....zzzz

Arhh, this is causing me a problem, I built my river boards several years ago, I've got my sea boards, I can't think of anything else I need to build apart from a water trough, which is hardly dynamic with flowing water. I think I shall have to give this a miss this time around.
Very much looking forward to seeing the creativity flow. :)

It doesn't need to be dynamic. I just suppose that the more complex and successful attempts at dynamic water will have an edge in the voting. Build that water through and put a drunkard in it or something! What' you got to lose except your honour? Let me tell you, it'd take a lot to put a dent in *that* shining breast plate of yours!

I see what you did there :D

I will shout at the guys doing scenarios for Gubbspel Galore IV. After all, we're having a Maritime theme next year :)

Would WIP threads on this theme be considered water-boarding?
I think I'll have a crack at this one just not sure what.

Glad to hear it!
-
Uh oh. Being oblivious to this contest until this evening, I just posted a beginning of a WIP on the Workbench thread a day or two ago - does this mean I've jumped the gun and knocked myself out? Might be fun to jump into this fray since terrain is my pleasure within the hobby - I don't call myself the Terrainiac for naught. Either way, in or out of the competition, you might like to follow along on the thread since I have a unique technique for making water. And, NO!, I'm not sharing here since I might be 'in'. You'll just have to hunt down and follow the thread.
bwah....bwaha....bwahaha...bwahaha...oh, darn, i hate when the men in the white coats with that funny jacket show up... :o
-
So when can we get started. I'm really slow at this kind of thing.

Now of course. Wasn't it obvious from the thread start? The entry needs to be in by 2359 hrs GMT on Saturday 5 January 2013.
-
Right, you can tell I've been out of the loop, not doing enough wargaming, and not giving the almighty LAF the attention it deserves when I've only just now realized a new Building Something/Potatoe Cup is on!
Hmm, have been meaning to do a few feet of modular swampy creek to do double duty in many places. I think I'll have to start sketching and planning...
-
So Hammers, how many of the current ideas have appeared on Overlord and yourselfs list?
-
Not very many so far. Perhaps a quarter. There are some we did not quite predict. It is not really a secret list but obviously it would be bad form to start the competition by publishing it. We want originality and creativity to be a part of the competition. Since we came up with the theme we had time beforehand to 'hog' a bunch of interpretation, if you understand what I mean.
But without being to specific I think both Paul and I are still hoping to see a few more water morph variants, like waves and icebergs. The techniques involved would be interesting to learn from. I don't know if it is clear from the rules, but the name of the game is not just terrain or scenery. Figures are welcome to.
-
Gentlemen
You lot are just bonkers
But I'm looking forward to seeing your efforts o_o
-
Figures are welcome to.
Now then, people are about 55-60% water, do this count ;)
cheers
James
-
No one could have predicted Dr the Vikings ideas, no one not on a serious amount of medication anyway! They are fantastic and I can't wait to see which one he goes for.
-
Would a snow covered cabin be classed as a watered feature ? Something like that getting built at the club at the moment.
-
I might be back from the dead.....and splashing about. This is a tough one but very nicely timed for me.... :'( (Note - I am not sad. Just practising using the only water-themed smiley to get in the mood.)
-
Vanvlak! So happy to see you back! Your creations have always been among the most interesting so I seriously hope you really plan to participate.
-
Thank you Hammers, nice to be back. It's been a long time.
I started a thread already, and I might post a couple of pics of past watery projects too - whilst I plan the new one.

After the Vought Kingfisher I built last year:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=35523.30 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=35523.30)
I had an idea of something a little more difficult. For this contest I'm going to try a PBY Catalina in 28mm(1/56).

:o Oh boy... this might have just become a contest for 2nd place behind you! I'd forgotten about your Kingfisher from last year, but it's great, and if you can pull off the Catalina, it should be both awesome and *huge* - a wingspan of about 22 inches, if I've done my math correctly and you're building the beast at full 1/56th scale?
-
dats gunna be awsome !! :D :o

Quite fancy a go at this, I usually miss the build somethings, or fail to finish!!
Going for simple to practice techniques, never done water and I fancy something like this for my scenery collection.

I tink I may know the answer, but to check. I made a test tree a long while ago and I was hoping to integrate it in to this project. Is that allowed?
Here is the tree I wish to use. It was a scratch built test and from it I built 3 more. It is a complete piece, as in finished but has never had a purpose until I started this project.

If you keep within the below rule, I will allow it.
2) The idea is for scratch-building to form the major part of an entry. If kits, pre-made resin/metal/plastic/etc parts are used they should ideally form only a minor contribution.

Thats handy!
I may be able to enter, if that is the case.
I have something that I want to do and may just have time...
-
This is probably a stupid question, but the pictures we post, it mention no pics of completed items, is that just completed build or completed build+painted?

The rule means to say that we save the completed and fully painted build till the voting. So save your 'money shot' for the mandatory competition entry photograph.

To restore peace and harmony to the Kingdom of Sweden, its time to bring out that faithful standby, a gift bound to unite all Swedes. Swedish supergroup Trunk and their version of the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army.
Enjoy. :)

That was cool 8)
-
I thought so. I was trawling through a collection of White Stripes covers and beyond the wonderful Alice Russell and a really great little funk version by a French guy called Ben l'Oncle Soul (who looks disturbingly like the guy in the IT Crowd) and came across that gem. Further demonstration, if any where necessary beyond our Swedish LAF contingent, that Swedes are quite cool and have a rather dry and amusing sense of humour.

Hopefully the nyckelharpa doesn't require self assembly, that looks like a prick of thing to put together with an Allen key.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but would a boat qualify for the theme? I was thinking a waterline version of something (so that it could be used on a water tabletop) though water would not actually be represented on the model.
Thanks in advance for a ruling either way.
-
Ah bollocks, really messed the deadline on this, I thought it was for the 25th, not the 5th ::)
Yet another competition model to languish in the cupboard (or in this case, the attic; there's no more room in the cupboard lol ).
cheers

Bah! Finish it. I'm extremely curios of the end result :) That's not a piece to throw in the attic. It'll just start to smell old man and gather mould :(

Sorry, I seem to have missed setting the account up. I will amend this shortly.

Any thoughts on this from the Mods? Is a boat legal?
Nope. It is not enough. I think we stated this rather clearly. Water should not just be implied in the model. The competition is about building sculpting water in some form.

There's me buggered then or does simulating it with multiple layers of varnish count?
-
It counts. A waterline model has no representation of water at all, it is just suggested.

Cool. Let us know, and we'll resend the bad boys in, so we can lose heartily.

And you even get a polite reply :) . Thanks for setting this up, Hammers. Seeing that water is not quite my usual element, this was more fun than I expected.

Here goes,sending them within the next half hour :)
And sent!

Hmm, my email just bounced, "quota exceeded", the Mailer Daemon said. Seems there are too many contestants with too many, too large pictures ;-)

Working on it. Try ph@tsome.com for now.
