*************FOR YOUR EYES ONLY*************The BrickArms Forums Spy Minifig Contest Your mission if you choose to accept it: produce a spy-themed custom minifig!Rules1) The figure must include at least one BrickArms accessory. This includes any custom weapon or minifig element that is a product of BrickArms. Elements that are sold as part of BrickArms custom minifigs but are not the produced by BrickArms do not apply. For example: the torso with the custom tuxedo decal that is part of the Spy Bond figure would count as a use of a BrickArms product, while the police dog from the K9 Kop figure would not. 2) The figure must be a completely new and original, never-before-displayed custom that is entirely your own work.If any part of the entry has previously been showcased elsewhere or any part is the figure is the result of someone else's work, the entry will be disqualified. 3) The figure must fit the covert theme. The more sleek, silent, and deadly, the better! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Entries must include:1) Two well-photographed pictures of the figure against a plain white background. Pictures must be no larger than 600 x 600 pixels in size. Low quality pictures will have a negative impact on how the figure is judged, so be sure and take some good shots! 2)A brief dossier describing your figure. The dossier should include the following: Codename Real Name Nationality Affiliation Specialties Weapon(s) of choice Operational History (must not exceed 100 words in length) A sample dossier for the BrickArms Spy Bond custom minifig: Codename: 007 Real Name: J.B.

Hmm...I'm not realy good at making covert things like s spy. But I'll try. Just a question, can we use decals from another vendor or do I have to make my own?

Quick question, we send in 2 pictures right? Can one of them be different than the other? (EX: James Bond in a Tactical suit and James Bond in a dress suit.)

Sweet! I am not so good at vigs but figs are my style! Does the minifig have to be yellow or Fleshie, does it matter? Also does a picece of paper count as a plain white background?

Question, is it like a James Bond style spy. Or like a covert-ops spy like Solid Snake

Is there a limit to the number of entries per person?

Mandalorian wrote:Also does a picece of paper count as a plain white background? Yes, a piece of white paper works perfectly as a plain backdrop. Its what I use for all my photography, actually. bigBSboy123 wrote:Question, is it like a James Bond style spy. Or like a covert-ops spy like Solid Snake As the rules state, any spy-themed fig is appropriate. Horatio wrote:Is there a limit to the number of entries per person? One entry per person. badger
