Competition Yak Competition 21 - Mad Robot VS Yakromunda

[ThreeDice]

Voted. Fantastic work on this, guys; pure quality.

Hahahahaha! - only just tuned-into this (finnaly some time off from Xmas! - yAaaaaaaAAAyy!)

Let me just say - what a fantastic bunch of entries here - I personally would buy EACH AND EVERY one of these from Mad Robot if he decided to throw caution to the wind and MAKE EM ALL!!!

If I was awarding points for the one that made me laugh the most it would have to be @Blochunx and thier Hive Guys Urinal!!!

I've cast my votes - good luck all! - can't wait to see these available on Mad Robots shop/site!

 

[The Duke]

Hahah, thanks @maxwellrpower & @Ned Noodle I didn't think anyone would make out the urinal cakes given my terrible photography skills! I have to admit this wasn't my first idea though. I tried to make a bounty board, but it would've been too awkward to cast in one piece, then the idea for this just popped into my head and I'm just a sucker for toilet humour... especially the literal kind

Hahahaha are you sure those are "urinal cakes" - they look slightly suspect to me... I'm not sure many hivers know the difference between a urinal and a crapper (by the looks of it!)

Also, is it just me....? but I always thought those lemon-flavoured-sweets made available to patrons of male urinals tatsed a bit "off"

@The Duke those werent sweets

@The Duke those werent sweets

Damn right they’re not sweets ...

... taste more like “sours” to me!

 

[The Duke]

Mine are the 1mm half-round nail art beads I regularly use for rivets, plus some plasticard cut into tiny pieces (offcuts from making Macharius tracks!).

Here's an update after detailing:

View attachment 44310

I've made it with lots of little elements that will pick up nicely with a quick wash + metallic drybrush, for a speedy game-ready finish, or you can go to town painting details, freehanding graphics on the holo-vis screen, etc.

Fantastic work @Xavier Bacon (once again!) - I love that the terminal screen is super-big so we can "get creative" with what is depicted on this when it comes to painting up the lovely resin sculpt that @Mad Robot provides us with... - assuming you win of course ! - chances are good with the incrediblt detail and sense of narrative on this one!

My vote has been cast and I wish everyone the best of luck!!!

There were some inspired entries for this one.

What's @Mad Robot going to think if he has to produce a urinal for sale on his site?

 

[Azzabat]

I may be wrong ... but I think it’s going to be a 2-way tie for 1st place.

Urinals rule! My long term goal is to make an entire hive-guys available, piece by piece

 

[Ben_S]

I have voted, but I left it this late because it was so difficult to choose just three.

 

[maxwellrpower]

Yep. Not an easy choice on this one!

 

[Azzabat]

I normally split my votes best painted, best constructed, best thought/effort, but this one was a little different.
They were all excellent entries. Well done everyone.

 

[Blochunx]

Whoa, lots of conversation on this thread in the last 24 hours! I'm really glad I had the chance to finish my entry and amuse this amazing community. Just the fact that my project has brought a few laughs to you guys is more than enough of a reward.

Well spotted by the way @The Duke only 2 of the "items" in the urinal are urinal cakes. The third could be what ever your imagination suggests.... I was totally going for a milliasaur larvae obviously. If you squint real hard at my blurry photos you might just make out the sweetcorn shaped chunks of it's newly forming carapace.

I've gotta say I really struggled to pick just 3 entries out of 5 to vote for too, and given the level of everyone's work I'll feel eternally guilty for the 2 I couldn't pick. Best of luck to all the entrants and have a Merry Christmas everyone.

 

[Ned Noodle]

My vote is cast, well done everyone for your amazing entries.

Thanks for that @Blochunx
I nearly did blow chunks!

 

[Malo]

The anticipation... hours to go!

 

[Blochunx]

WHAT!? SECOND PLACE ..... You weren't supposed to vote for mine guys, it was a more of a joke than a real entry. Any semblance of skill or detail in my piece is just a coincidence of the pixelated gaussian blur that seems to be the default setting of my phones camera. I DEMAND A RECOUNT!!!!

On a serious note (quite rare for me) thank you all for your votes, it means a lot to me that so many of you liked my entry. Well done to everyone who entered, and a big CONGRATULATIONS to @Xavier Bacon for his outstanding "Chem Control" piece.

 

[Punktaku]

Holy cow! I got votes?!? (crap.. now i gotta mail out those bribes)

Congratulations to @Xavier Bacon @Blochunx (never under estimate the power of humor!) and @Azzabat those are amazing entries!

 

[Space Truckin]

Fantastic comp! Missed the beginning of it but glad I could follow the end.
Congrats everyone.

 

[Mad Robot]

Congrats to all on some great work! YAKTRIBE!!
