I don't know... maybe not the best ever, but it has a lot of potential. Great idea. Very Happy

I made a real lame ugly back in the day, but deleted it off brickshelf... lemme see if the wayback machine can find it. Edit: nope.

I don't know if I'll have enough parts for an entry. But I like the idea and I'll try to build something.

It's a very difficult contest, pinning which two ships to combine in some interesting/feasable way is difficult.

Question: Would a Slave I and X-Wing combo be legal?

Hmm... well, the Slave 1 isn't on that page given, nor is a firespray (that's the right class right?) so I don't think it qualifies. PM the threadmaster to be sure though.

Is the slave 1 on that page?

EDIT: Don <3

I still don't get it. We have to make a most ugly ship out of 2 Lego SW ships?

And does that have to be one of those 'ugly' ships list?

Noo, It's not that you want it to be as ugly as possible, it's just "crudely" combining two or more ships in a fashion that is both ugly and a piece of art.

You can combine any ships that are listed on the provided page, it does not have to be an existing Ugly.

Basically...

Yeah, the idea is a starfighter mashup. Make it look like a functional ship, but barely... It has to look good, but not perfect. Pick two or more starfighters you like, maybe add in a non-starfighter as well (there's a loophole for you juns, make it a three way with two from the list i naddition to the firesprey) - and combine obvious elements from each into an all new ship that looks like it was made from chunks of the others.

Image examples from the Wiki page:

Simple:

Nice clean merger of a Tie fighter and Y-wing. Obvious distinctions between the two craft and decent idea of how and why they're there.

Not so simple:

Wonderful mashup of a Tie interceptor and an X-wing... almost like they jumped out of hyperspace right on top of each other and managed to keep flying as one. Makes you feel like you might get tetanus if you're not careful working on it.

I see. Thanks!

EDIT: Then I have 1 more question: Is it possible to use 1 fighter from the CW era and 1 from the GCW era?

I don't see why not, I'm sure they're still floating around somewhere at any point in the SW universe...
