April Monthly Contest- Project Rebuild!

[mtmerrick]

After a long hiatus, monthly contests are back!

In this contest, entrants MOC, but unlike most MOCing contests, this one has a major restriction: you may only use one set. That's right one set you rebuild into something completely new. You may make as many entries as you like, but you may only use pieces from one set per entry. First place winner will be awarded 2 rep, and a custom award (), and 2nd and 3rd place will receive one rep.

Great work on the new contests mtm! I guess you can only get a prize every few months or so...? I'll get to work on a MOC to enter.

This is very cool, I'll have to enter this one, I should have my entry in before the 15th, perhaps even today, after I tune up my generator and install the new rotary beacon on my truck.

Again, awesome contest idea, I wish I'd thought of it. 

[Kritzelei]

Phew, we've got another entrant. I want these new contests to be a success.

I'm laying out the pieces as we speak, I know what I want to build, but as usual, I'm always afraid if it turns out good. This is a great contest, one which should inspire us all to build and share, it has me....

BTW, congrats TOM, 5 rep and green you chose, can't wait for orange, well done pal.

Thanks Legodac Orange... that would be quite cool. If you win this contest of course, you'll get 5 rep!

Here's the pics, it'll take me a few more to put in the proper Application, I can only copy one thing at a time.

I think I'll be adding to this all night, I only wish I was better at taking pictures...here's my submission...

user name: legodac
entry name: Cranes, Trains and OH, MLNO!
set used: #10133, BNSF GP-38 Locomotive
entry pic: The first picture, because it falls within the guidelines of the contest, although the third pic is my favourite because it shows where the model came from.
secondary pic: sliding doors, movable boom, simulated line, and only 6 pieces left over.
gallery when public: MOC pages, (when I find the time)
MOC topic: It's a Train Crane, still used today this BNSF Rail Crane is capable of uprighting and hoisting a rolled over locomotive, but is usually tasked to changing twisted and worn out rails.
