Got my container today, and it's friggin' 'uge!!

And getting rid of the contents has me on a sugar rush so severe, I might well have finished this puppy in one go, somewhere around 4 tomorrow morning...

Couple of questions to ask if thats ok?

Is there a limit on the size of plastic candy container? I got hold of a..............guess its a kind of gumball machine. About 13 inches tall,that came with gum in the top,is that an allowable piece of trash?
Also........do you have to use the whole container? I got 2 small candy containers (as backup in case the gumball machine is unuseable) that come apart into 3 bits,do I have to use all of it and does it have to stay in one piece?

Sorry for the questions
Steve

I hope they allow that - I'd love to see what kind of terrain someone makes out of an entire gumball machine!

Imagine that...

I'm working on the very same thing...

An actual gumball machine is not really what I had in mind since it has the supposed capability of being used more than once and thus isn't "trash". I'd like to stick with things that are really meant to be used once and then thrown away.

Hopefully this doesn't derail your plans too badly.

Well, the one I'm working on right now, really doesn't even deserve the name 'machine'. You could say it's more of a rather large and oddly shaped Smint box, which could possibly also be refilled (and I've actually done so in the past, come to think of it...)

Basically, it's a (very) cheap dispenser, that does not even work (had to take the candy out of the top, as the mechanism jammed up immediately).

Bought it for €1,00 at one of those stores that sell stuff that doesn't make it into the regular stores (you know; a test flavour that doesn't catch on, almost to the expiry date, general crappyness etc). And that was including the (nasty) candy!

I'd say it's more of a use-once-never-buy-it-again variety. If you want, I'll send you a picture of mine before I set to work on it, so you can judge for yourself.

And yes; derailing is in order, as I'm almost to the painting stage already...

Thats not a problem. Might just do what I had in mind and use it as scenery for my showpiece photograph
Touching on my other question (sorry to be asking) does the container have to stay in one piece or can we use bits of it if it is designed to come apart? (for example,if using a kinder egg do we need to use the whole egg? Can we use the two halves seperately or does it have to stay in the one "egg" shape?)
Thanks
Steve

To Daeothar: Give it a go! I'm really just interested to see what folks come up with.

To Bobbie: Pieces are fine. Judges will be looking for how effectively you used the piece and if that means using bits then by all means do it.

Good luck to you both and thanks for your interest in Trash Bash!

Sure you can still enter! Entry deadline is March 1. I don't see any problem with entering three of the same vehicle. But you might just take pictures of one of them for the three painted pictures and the one picture of the pre-painted stage.

I meant to ask, can we post up a work on progress thread? I know they did that with the 'Build Something' contest on this site. You just couldn't show the completed or painted model until the competition was over.

Posting a work in progress thread is fine though I'd still like to save the surprise of the finished pieces until the end.

I'm looking forward to seeing your entry!
