I like it:)

I like your entry. At first glance, I thought the spring you made was smoke and I was trying to figure it all out. Then closer I noticed it was a spring. I thought of this idea but could not come up with a way to make a spring out of system. I think you did a nice job doing that. The tree on the other hand is a nice tree but being bare gives you the feeling of winter, even though you stated it is early spring. Maybe a couple green 1x1 round plates could have given a more literal vision of spring. Maybe it was the literal "spring" and the season of spring combined which was a little too much for the judges. In all I think you did a great job on this MOC!

This is a nicely built vig, and the action captures the theme pretty well. Well done!

The tree! I think you're right. Well like they say, always stick with your first impression. I was not originally going to include the tree, but then I felt like the build needed something more. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the feedback and for being a fair judge! I'm looking forward to next year!

Ian, This was a very clever creation. You took a great approach and the build was quite nice. I think what held you back was the tree. What could you have done to make it more original? Remember, when building on a small foot print EVERYTHING is important. Thank you for sharing your take on the categories. ~Dave

Hey Ian, shame you didn't make it through, this is a neat little entry, there was stiff competion this year though. Thankfully i got through and don't really know what to expect. Keep at it and have another crack at it next year :)

Nice entry! Who knew there would be a spring there?

great work Ian

Yes I noticed that too, but I think it may be system related because one of my friends told me it worked for him. Plus I also went back a couple times to make sure I did everything right, and I couldn't find any error.

awesome

Humor should score you an extra point or two with the judges. Nice little build.~H

LOLz!

I wish there were giant springs in the rabbit holes around my house! Well built!

I'm smiling! :)

Maybe it's a system hick up but your link doesn't seem to work?!

DZOING! Nice little vig here. Maybe just a few lime green one stud rounds in the tree would have added the spring feeling? Good luck with your judges!

cleverly done!

Good one Ian! I love seeing all of the diferent takes on the categories.

Wow you went for the spring category literally! I like the spring, and the guy looks like he is some sort of professor.

Nice, but Sam Knavel beat you to it. ;)

Very nice! I like it.

Funny, I had that same spring idea. That's how I would have built it too. Have you been looking in my mind? JK Great Job!

Thanks for the comment, and yes I'm going to need good luck against your entry (it's so good)!

Awsome spring! Thanks for the comments too!

Haha! BOING! Love it. Good luck!

Haha nice pun! Very creative. I like the design for the tree it looks pretty sweet.

(Elmer Fudd voice) Dat wascawy wabbit.

Spring has sprung! Nice one Ian! It's good to see you posting again.

nice spring has sprund i like it i like that you used the harry potter outfit mind looking at this cool moc of mine it has real water!!!!http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/286584

Ha ha ha! That is real good. This looks nothing like how you described it to me. Good luck!!!!

hahaha I was going to do that HUZZAH!

Looks great it's so clean is what I like about it. good luck

I don't love the tree, but the rest of this is great. I particularly like the amount of work you put into details for the ground, and the way that the spring is angled. Nice work and good luck!

BOING! Very nice and simple entry, the whole scene is great but I especially like your tree. Good luck

Really nice! I like the spring as well! But has the spring been planted here. Anyways, good luck! ~Jelle

Nice!
