age 18. After his four year service was over in 1987, he was contacted by
the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure. He received special
training, and was on his first mission in 1990. Pierre has seen duty in
both Lebanon and Bosnia. 1995 partner later betrayed him and he barely
escaped Beirut alive. Pierre is currently on active duty in Russia.

Kcaster

Real Name: Vitus Hofinger
Nationality: Austrian
Affiliation: RAMCS (Royal Austrian Military Covert Services)
Specialties: Infiltration, Document Reproduction, Surveillance
Weapon(s) of choice: H&K MP7, Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Operational History: After the occupation and subsequent collapse of organized government in Austria, special operations units became less and less frequent. However, as Russian pressure grew, RAMM spies became more and more pivotal in maintaining an advantage over Russian forces in hot zones. Mopp, one of many spies, has reportedly been involved with many high profile missions, including a possible mission into the heavily fortified Kremlin.

Mike





Codename: Милый мальчик (Pretty Boy)
Real Name: Aleksey Demidov
Nationality: Russian
Affiliation: FSB
Specialties: Espionage, Assassination
Weapon of Choice: Makarov PMM
Operational History: Worked for the KGB, then FSK, and now currently works for the FSB. Was on several missions spying on the CIA, also spied on MI6. Also killed many high profile targets. Never married. Currently on Active Duty. Speaks Russian, German, English, and French.

Hypnomatic






Codename: Leafe (Yes, that's how his codename is meant to be spelt.)
Real Name: I would tell you, but I'd prefer that you live to judge the contest.
Nationality: Italian, Irish, German, and Dutch
Affiliation: NSA
Specialties: Assassinations, Constructing Disguises
Weapon(s) of choice: PPK with Suppressor
Operational History: Joined NSA after reaching high ranks in Navy SEALs. He became a Spy/Assassin. He had noticed the Sam Fisher/James Bond style of spying/assassination can be thwarted by improved Cameras, lighting, and when weaker protection and no background check was present. But, he noticed a trend. Most enemy leaders were rich and living in well furnished abodes. So, he creates his disguise as an exotic plant that no one would be able to identify normally. He has one wife and two children, all alive, whose identities are well protected. Conclusion: In collaboration with his specialized squeak-free boots, he is truly a force to fear.

Wow. Thank you such a great contest. It was great looking at all of them, and congratulations to all the winners (and great spies by the non-winners too because I saw some really cool ones in the Spy Contest Entry thread). Thanks to all!

Congratulations to the winners! Out of curiosity, I was wondering if there would be an entries gallery, seeing as 80 or so entries would take up a lot of space and time to create. Congrats again to the winners and thanks to Will and the Moderators for this contest!

Aww, shucks. One of these days. . .

err, I mean: Even though I didn't win, I'm really glad I entered. I had a great time making the fig and creating a back story for it, so I would like to thank Will, Damien, Obxcrew, and especially Badger for putting this together. Can't wait for the next one!

Also, what made you decide to announce six winners instead of three? The sheer amount of entries?

Conngratulations to all the winners! Dang! 5 runners ups!? awesome!

EDIT-I took a look at the gallery. That's a lot of entries. Wait. . . What!? I didn't fail to reach the covert theme? And all this time I thought I got disqualified for that.

It was a combination of how many entries there were, and the fact that so many of them were very well put together and/or very creative. We wanted to acknowledge that. Can't give everyone a prize, so expanding the 'placings' was the most we could offer.

Thanks for all of your excellent entries, guys. Great work all around, and that includes those that didn't place. We're always thinking up more contest ideas, so keep your LEGO and BrickArms collections growing. You never know what kind of contest is on the horizon.

Congratulations to everyone! There were some really great entries here, and it was fun to vote on them. I look forward to helping judge the next contest, and I can't wait to see what else you guys can cook up. :)

Again, congrats!
