Not a day goes by that someone does not ask me about the Oiling Festival, so I guess its time to talk about it. Here is the preliminary list which is still highly flexible.
- park benches
- hand tools
- honking big machines, with operating instructions
- economics
- portrait: the Machine and I
- house boats
- street signs
- towers
- imperial flag – redux
That’s my top 9. It is by no means final. I’ve also got 2 sponsor proposals from Cyan’s Brewery (a statue) and Ahab’s Revenge. What do you have?
Heroic Valve Turning. Maybe as a photo contest.
i was looking for an example and found these hilarious mash-ups of soviet worker posters and american pulp-fiction detective pin-ups

That’s not exactly what I had envisioned. :) Alright then:
Механик Даша и боевая машина “Витязь”. (Mechanic Dasha and infantry fighting vehicle “Vityaz”.) http://lipatov.deviantart.com/art/Mechanic-girl-118290578
“Be a patriot!” http://origamiemu.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2g84tp
oh goodness! Steam driven park benches…. rising from the ground on the simple pull of a lever, in a cloud of clean steam from the underground pistons, neatly plumbed into the City’s steam network…. what a wonderful idea, and anyhow, what could possibly go wrong….?
Indeed, hope to possibly sponser more than one contest for Ahab’s.
Piermont Landing :The Oiling Featival Ball
*shall Sponsor *The Portait* :”The Machine and I” contest :)
1) Idea for another machine build .. Perhaps some sort of cleaning device .. say
“The Rub a Dub Tub “ maybe ??
Thinking of changing the portrait to ‘heroic proletariats’ after kimika’s response. what is not to like about thewy women and chisel faced men in drab coveralls wielding cheater bars? don’t put it in stone on a poster yet.
kk .. your call there .. no rush ..
but but what about the rub a dub tub ??? ((laughs))
i’m going to say no because that could fall under another umbrella, like HBM’s or City Maintenence Equipment. Yes, you would have to process an urchin before shoving him into a classroom of you wanted to keep the teachers on staff. It’s like vaccinations.
A quick question, Mr Tenk, can we use mesh in our builds yet please?
absolutely.
that is a non-issue here, as nearly everyone jumped over to the new viewers right away.
i will be using land impact vice prims for this year’s contests.
