Reminder: Enter our Star Wars building competition

Our Star Wars microscale building competition is in full swing and there are some excellent entries already on Instagram and Flickr, like this one by Tim Goddard.

There's still plenty of time to enter, though, so get building your own microscale Star Wars vignette and post your entries online by 31st December. You could win one of four set 6176782 Escape the Space Slug sets!

Read the rules and find out how to enter after the break.

Prizes

There'll be four winners who will each receive a 6176782 Escape the Space Slug.

Rules

• Models should be built from real bricks: no virtual submissions will be accepted.
• Your vignette should be no larger than 8x16 studs and 20 bricks high. There should be no overhang on any side.
• For the purposes of this competition microscale means smaller than minifig scale, so minifigs should not be included.
• Your model can include any scene, location, vehicle or craft from any of the theatrical release Star Wars films, including The Last Jedi.
• If you wish to model a vehicle or space ship, for example, you should also include an 8x16 section of terrain on which to display it.

Entries will be judged on the following criteria

• Adherence to the rules
• Likeness of the model to the scene being modelled
• Building techniques and parts usage
• Originality

How to enter

• Upload a maximum of two images of your entry to the Brickset Flickr group set up for this competition, or post your entry on Instagram using the hashtag #BricksetSpaceSlugCompetition.
• Your models should be new and unseen prior to this competition. Significantly updated models are permitted.
• You may submit multiple entries.
• Virtual creations in LDD, stud.io or other CAD program ARE NOT permitted. All submissions should be built with real bricks.

Small print

• Please do not include any references to sex, drugs, alcohol etc. in your entry.
• Custom and non-LEGO components are not permitted.
• Although we will not be judging your photographic skills, please try to light your models evenly and photograph them against a clean background.
• Please upload your entries by 23:59 GMT 31st December 2017
• To give the judges time to properly consider all entries, winners will be announced by the end of January.
• The judges' decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.

Good luck!

I was wondering if micro scale polybag star wars vehicles on a new backround would be accepted?

^minus points in originality if so

So no Clone Wars or Rebels?

^ this was the case as posted in the previous competition thread - just the live action cinematic releases, including The Last Jedi. Some great entries out there already!

Must the entries recreate a specific scene from the live action films, or can it just be inspired by a film?

Either -- as long as it's recognisable, e.g. a generic Hoth scene like the one I've shown above is fine.

I'm very happy I managed to create two entries for this one :)
I usually just let the end date go by.
