Of course it's biased,...So here's my top-7. Of course it's biased, subjective and completely coloured by my personal taste.<br /><br />1. Ballerina Music Box by Alan<br />No-one else thought of seeing an elegant ballerina in the humble seed part, including me. This is a surprise, well executed and functional.<br /><br />2. Fred's famous tomato BBQ sauce by Jordan Jivkov<br />I always had the feeling the seed part was more than a lantern, it was also a ... device. Something on the brink of my mind, but slipping away into darkness whenever I tried to grasp it. This moc makes it all clear. The stream of liquid tomato and the jars are nice. Don't know why it had to be Fred instead of another fig, but this scene made me laugh.<br /><br />3. Old Pocket Watch by Bricks by Stfn<br />There's more than one watch, clearly this is an obvious use case for the lantern element. I think this one has the best application of it because the useful part of the element is visible while the rest is integrated and hidden into the watch. The box and lid add some nice context.<br /><br />4. The fierce sea monster by Jordan Jivkov<br />There's also more than one seahorse submitted, and even some exotic fish. This one doesn't try to hide the seed part. It makes you feel it really belongs there, integral element of the beast. Simpler is often better.<br /><br />5-KTR by Alan Mann<br />One of two robots using the lantern's ring as a wheel. This one makes the wheel spinning quite believable, because of the skid mark. Scooter has character, though it exists of only five parts.<br /><br />6. The Bull Demon King by cityson<br />First I saw the seed part as the buckle on the belt. NPU. Then I discovered four more. This moc really shows them off, where other large mocs kinda overwhelm me too much to spot the lanterns immediately. But I have to admit I needed to read the builder's comment to see the starting point of it all: the nose ring.<br /><br />7. USS Lantern by Alan Mann<br />It's impressive how two seed parts together with no more than 25 other parts in yellow can give the impression of a huge spaceship. (pun not intended)<br /><br />There's one moc that I'd like to disqualify: Harley-Davidson Green Lantern Limited Edition by Jordan Jivkov. The lantern's still a lantern and that was explicitly NOT the challenge. <br />Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443326488220933221noreply@blogger.com
