Micro/Midis Contest

[crazybirdman]

Just to make sure, no vehicles from books, board, video or miniature games are allowed?

Updated with better windscreens, red stripe, new pilot(s), flick-fire missiles, and new central engine strut.

That ship (or one so close to it that it's might as well be the same) has been made though, just without Vader piloting.

Edit: removed non contest image of the Prototype TIE Advanced microfighter.

Do the micro fighters have to have stud shooters or flick fire missiles incorporated in them?

Odd question but wouldn't the Droids cartoon from the 80's and the Ewok movie still count as cannon for this contest?

[dWhisper]

"Mainline" was the key there. The eight films, Rebels, and Clone Wars.

Sooooo, I said I would not enter, but I was bored, so I decided to try to put together a microfighter B-wing.

The cockpit spins, and the wings collapse. Sadly no quickfire missles (I would not make it very far at Lego, haha!)

I've been reviewing the Microfighter line as I put together my own ideas. Looks like they run around 100 pieces, and about 10 studs in whichever is the longest dimension. They're definitely not consistent in scale (compare the Falcon with the Destroyer, for example). Some of them are close to being scale models on their own (the Falcon isn't particularly chibi), but most have exaggerated proportions--giant engines, stubby wings, etc. Here's an easy way to view all of them: https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wa ... roFighters Hope the extra info is helpful. Good luck!
EDIT: Just noticed this link does not include the Comic-Con exclusives mentioned by others, but someone else already posted a link for those.

Now I have to build some midi-scale vehicle... Good luck everyone!

I'm looking for some clarification

So the ship has to be from movie / TV cannon I'm good there I have a Super Star Destroyer Moc'ed up but 2 questions
1 does the Pilot have to be specifically Movie/TV Cannon? I threw together a pretty good Ceina Ree from the book Lost Stars since she is posted to the Executor for in the book it makes sense.
2 SSD's are long and skinny and I'm, like Miro 78 above, could be at the border of Microfighter and Midi scale. Is the line what the Mod's point at and say Yes/No or can we get a bit more concrete ruling? Thanks Great Idea for a contest.

[Solo]

1. That's fine. To reiterate, as long as the pilot makes sense for the vehicle then you can switch it up.

2. Use your best judgment and look to the official sets for guidance. We're not setting a concrete rule for either category, and we're not going to disqualify anyone unless they're flagrantly ignoring the intent of the contest. Ultimately the polls will decide your fate.

Thanks for the clarification that makes sense.
