I've been hoping Rixx would get involved with some of these bounties. I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

Here was my entry for the Eve Online Lego challenge. Its four covert ops ships.

They're beautiful. I especially like the one on the left.

Feel free not to count this one, while it is a painted piece I did scan it and make some digital enhancements (mostly to clean up some edges and color work here and there).

Amazing, thanks Rixx. We'll see when it comes to judging, but I suspect the answer will likely be that it's too good to disqualify because of a few digital touch-ups.

I know a huge part of this is about testing and growing the community and the concept as well, so I figured content is better than no content. Glad to help and support the effort.

In 2020 we made a colouring contest in the Alliance to include kids in their parent's hobby called Colour the Noctis!

This one was made by my wife and I. It doesn't do it justice as there is a crazy amount of glitter on it!

I raised $350 for a Syrian refugees charity, on stream, creating my very painting (my mom says it looks good). Obviously an Astero.

My buddy and I then had a competition who could paint the better Stratios. He's never played EVE before and has an arts degree. I have played EVE for 2 years and have no arts degree. I think you can tell who did a better job.

One of my other passtimes outside of EVE is messing about in the garage woodworking. I am not the greatest - I am not the worst - I just like dabbling about in the garage and find it all quite therapeutic tbh - it's one of my happy places, so I was super chuffed when this bounty aligned with something else that I was planning for Fanfest.

Last year I organised the very successful NPSI meetup and charity raffle at Fanfest. We managed to raise more than £1300 for the Barnaspítali Hringsins Childrens Hospital in central Reykjavik, that specialises in providing care for children with a variety of health issues including cancer and diabetes as well as cardiovascular and neurological issues.

This year is no different, albeit because of a few things going on in my RL, I was slightly late in setting to about organising.

Here are the details for anyone in Reyk for FF, come drop by on the Sunday morning, dig deep and come and meet us for a chat!

Anyhow, I digress, during the planning of this, I wanted to do something a little bit different, so opted to use some of my RL "woodworking and electronics skills" (note parentheses, I'm not very good!) to create two one off pieces, of a Nyx and a Wyvern.

Here we go...

I grabbed a plan view of the Nyx from eve-nt ship viewer website here

and created an approximate outline of the ship here - simplifications were needed to make the cutting process easier:

which was printed on A4

which was then traced to MDF

and then cut out

shaped, and sprayed in a metallic gun metal / black

a simple stand and lights were then made and attached

Vid of the finished Nyx is here:

I also knocked together a wyvern too using the same process:

It is painted in gold

https://youtu.be/I-H21QQRT_k If you are at fanfest, come hunt me down at Laundromat on Sunday 24th from 11am and buy some raffle tickets and you could be in with a chance of winning one (or both) of these!

Raffle tickets costs £12 GBP / €14 Euro / $15 USD, and you will receive 5 tickets.

These tickets can be purchased online in advance of Fanfest by heading to paypal.me/NPSIMEETUP quoting your IGN in the comments.

We hope to see you there, and have a great fanfest!!

PS. Should i win this bounty - all proceeds will of course go to the charity!

You were right, this was worth the wait. I wasn't expecting to see woodwork here!

FUN INC's avatar

Here are the final versions!

x1 gold, x1 black

XX "skin" for 20 :)

Now to get them into my luggage without trashing them!

They're looking epic now! The backlighting is a really nice touch.
