Seed Part Challenge - Round #1

Welcome to the first GC Seed Part Challenge!


For those unfamiliar with the concept, here's how it works:

  • A piece or part is chosen.
  • Builders attempt to use this part in as unique a way as possible. (This can include a really nice parts usage [NPU] or finding a way to use as many of the seed part as possible in a single build.)
  • Everyone marvels at the WIPs and final creations.
  • After a certain date, we'll set a poll and choose a winner who gets to set the next seed part.

So, let's give it a shot!

The humble Gobon Sphere. A staple of many spare parts bins, this piece has had many opportunities to shine in its own right. But just what can be done with a few of these round hubs? What haven't we seen before?

An example of how the Gobon Sphere can be used...?


Let's give it a shot! The new "deadline" will be November 30th, to give people plenty of time to come up with some fun applications of the part. Good luck, everyone, and hope to see some cool builds soon!

Counting the posts until some one says "Gobon balls" (this one being discounted). Image

I always liked employing them as feet or faux rollers.

A turret used by other soldiers. If you want to build one, I used a gobon blaster and a buildman.

I've always liked the idea of them as giant boxing gloves. For the larger bulky builds there perfect for that.

Finally got my picture up. The first item I thought of was a gumball machine. I found a translucent piece and came up with this!

Here's my submission, trying to incorporate new piece's, I came up with this Blood red scorpion Mushi. Kind of a Pirate theme with the spear hand.

Whoops! Did I say November 30th? Clearly, I meant December 30th! :oops:

The poll has been posted, and will end on January 6th. Everyone can select up to three models, and you can change your vote at any time before the deadline. Remember, the winner* gets to set the next Seed Part Challenge, as well as a well-earned pat on the back, so choose carefully! :D

*Note that, in the case of a tie, all tied winners will have to agree on a seed part to use next!
