So all you do is click on the photo. Then you click on the arrow, after that go to bbcode. Then choose your size. Then copy and paste the text. Quote

It'll probably take me a few more days to get voting together, but soon after it ends I'll have it up! And yes, it'll run for 2 weeks. Quote
dulsi Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 [Thrawn] - Lessons from Endor I feel like I should apologies for the liberties taken in the design of the Tie Fighter and AT-ST probably for my treatment of Thrawn as well. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Hmm only 6 entries... I feel like joining but my plans are too large to be executable Quote

My build needed a large tree, an AT-ST, a Tie Fighter, and some Star Wars minifigures. I didn't even have Thrawn. I could have taken apart a MOC which had many brown pieces but instead tried to build something with what little I had. All the Star Wars figures are borrowed from my sons as I have only a couple which wouldn't work. I did give up on making the AT-ST's legs move but that is the sort of reasonable compromise. You could even do a micro build for your plans if they are too large. Quote

You could even do a micro build for your plans if they are too large. Great how much energy you put in But it can be difficult with limited time and parts. I actually wanted to make a space battle, but ran out of parts, so I'll have to overthrow the original concept completely. But I do have something in mind - as long as I'll be able to post pictures somewhere I'll compete for sure On 11.6.2017 at 1:22 PM, VaderFan2187 said: Hmm only 6 entries...

The ship interior doesn't look as good as others. I forgot to put some finishing touches on the AT-ST. I keep thinking of redesigning the legs to try to make them move. Hopefully I'll find the time to tweak it and retake the images but even if I don't I made an entry. A good space battle would be an interesting build. Limited time is certainly a problem. For parts you could make a digital entry. I know VaderFan has some proficiency with that. I think it looks better to use physical bricks plus then you know it works in practice but sometimes you just don't have the bricks. I was pleased I was able to create something that looked like the AT-ST with my bricks. I even discovered I had the pieces the Lego AT-ST used for the feet after I built my solution with the inverted wedges. But I liked that I had a different solution to the problem. Quote

Commander Beltar Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 So here's a quick question on the rules (quite late into the contest but might as well) Since it says "digital builds" would that include 3rd party software too? Not ldd. I've been experimenting with Stud.io from bricklink and I have to say I find the interface a lot friendlier to me. It also has a built in renderer which would make my life so much easier for presentation. Honestly, it is far more limiting with the minifig aspect, but technically all the parts would exist if you removed the print... If you want to stick too LDD for this, I can still do that. Just wondering though. ~Beltar Quote
Kim-Kwang-Seok Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Awesome to see enough participants! Since work hindered me from building anything other than my Thrawn's office MOC (which lacks 4 studs in lengh for now..); I reused my medevil village- hope that'll work as well. I'll try very hard to post tomorrow, once I've found a suitable background. Quote

VaderFan2187 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) 7 entries. Can y'all extend the deadline again? I don't think I have the time to join before the current deadline, sorry. Also I think the Anthology contests should be unpinned? Edited June 15, 2017 by VaderFan2187 Quote
