Head's up, boys and girls! The time has come...
Armageddon has gripped the world. Civilization has crumbled. Few humans survive. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to show in Lego form how a survivor or group of survivors has begun to piece together a new life from the ashes of catastrophe. They evaded extinction, now they must use their human ingenuity to build those things needed to keep themselves alive. Are your minifigs cobbling together a makeshift bomb shelter in a now-desolate world? Assembling lighting fixtures to farm in underground tunnels? Setting up defensive emplacements against the inevitable zombie onslaught? You decide!
Categories:
Entries will be split into two categories: Small and Large. Small entries should fit within an approximate 16x16-stud area (extremity aspects such as tree branches, antennas, etc. can extend beyond, just keep it reasonable). Large entries, of course, are those which exceed this size.
Rules:
- Entries should depict your survivors actively building/creating something important to their continued survival.
- New MOCs only. We want to see stuff that hasn't been posted on the internet before.
- No modded or clone bricks. Custom stickers as well as widely recognized custom elements such as Brickarms and Brickforge are acceptable, but should not be the primary focus of the build. This is a Lego contest, after all.
- Tag your entry photos with "Picking up the Pieces Apocalego Contest" so we are sure to find them.
- Post a link to your entries in this thread so we are even more sure to find them.
- You may build as many entries as you wish. Keep in mind, however, that entries are judged on quality, not quantity.
- Contest ends on 31 July, 2008 at midnight Mountain Time. That gives you two full months to build. Wow us!
Judging:
Judging will be conducted by our official panel of apocalypse survivors: Mainman, Mondayn00dle, and Onetruescotty. Entries will be judged on how well they depict the theme, apparent effort put into building, and general "wow" factor.
Loot:
A total of three prizes will be awarded. A Grand Prize will be given to the overall best in show out of all the entries. Following that, prizes will be given for the top Large and Small entry. Each prize consists of a brand new set and a trophy created by your favorite people in the whole post-apocalyptic world – us judges! :D
The Grand Prize winner will have their choice of: 7787 Bat-Tank, 7626 Jungle Cutter, or 7625 River Chase. After that, the larger of the remaining sets will go to the “Large” category winner, and likewise, the smaller to the “Small” category winner, unless otherwise agreed upon by said winners. And you never know. If the entries really blow us away, there may be a little bonus swag.
Now go forth and build!

Here's my entry - Beyond the Sky
I took the contest theme to embody one survivor in his attempt to construct a machine which inadvertently led to a horrible discovery (the story). At the same time, this creation was a struggle for me to pick up the pieces (if you have noticed my premier hypocritical use of old gray with bley). This is because I do not have access to my building bricks over the summer and I'm stuck with my old collection of old colors back at home. The base was part of an existing MOC called Cyclopean Horror. So I recycled and saved the world.

Here is my entry for the Picking Up The Pieces Contest.
Oblivion has struck the world. Dr. Evil has destroyed the world and most important of all, Willy's precious post office. Willy is sick and tired of all the attacks, and decides to start an underground rebel group, known as the ApocaRebels. In this particular example, 2 of these brave men (and women) are building a giant laser cannon on the surface to destroy enemy air crafts.

Jimbo has a rough day:
When the one-eyed snaked attacked, the two friends forgot to check their footing. Jimbo lost an arm and a leg to a mine, and it looked like his buddy Frank was about to lose even more. One could argue that the odds where against them.
"Finally, some action!" Jimbo joyously exclaimed, trying to build a makeshift shelter using his own blown-off leg and hand as a crude tool. He had always been one tough son of a bitch.
