They seem to have corrected the extra tags?

No idea who it is though.  Please, reveal yourself.

I don't know of any instagram efforts, although it probably wouldn't hurt! :)

Not only are my bricks STILL not here (along with the rest of my household goods) but now my laptop is busted and shipped off to be worked on... I can't even build digital bricks right now. Watching bad batch and counting down the seconds between Lego Masters episodes after everybody else goes to bed.

@Ayrlego, I was typing this out simultaneously as you were asking if anybody wanted an extension. I wasn't quite panicking yet about the approaching deadline, but probably will be in a week.

Well, that's a perfect time go wiki-inspiration-hunting! Or read something like that. At least that's what I am doing in what feels like forever

Wow, that's pretty neat. 

Also creepy how the Oleonese are everywhere... 

[KotZ]

I’d say we’re like rats and we are everywhere, but we’re not Sea Rats.

That's amazing! What episode of American? Lego masters is that?

(There's too many to follow)

Season 2, Episode 6. I've been waiting to show this for so long haha.

[Thomas Waagenaar]

Thanks! I'll have a look and see if I can find it online! We only have the Dutch (obviously) and Australian (Idk why) version here on TV

Are you in lego masters? Or do you have some connections for your propaganda efforts?

We need to get this Frontpaged. See if Factions or Guilds of Historica can meet the challenge.

Putting this here because it is much more about my life outside lego builds than about this lego build but...

@LM71Blackbird and I had been working two collab builds for Rebuilding TV Part 2, Checkpoint Sil. My laptop, complete with WIP that I'd spent an embarrassing amount of time on died. What had been a flickering screen died outright after a tech came to fix the screen. With no idea of what went wrong Dell only offered to ship to depot, quoting 3-5 days to diagnose, fix, ship back. Good Ole' Dell... 1 month later and 5 days later, I got notified today that they were sending me a replacement system... and my old hard drive (so somehow, someday, I'll recover it and everything else!)... and could expect the new laptop by 4 October! Pretty furious. The digital equivalent of the toddler tipping iver your display case of favorite builds.

So... I give you my WIP for Checkpoint Sil. I had intended to make it huge and wanted to license it as a royal collab (96 x 128 right meow), commerce. The bridge actually pivots as a unit 90 degrees over the base. The two towers were supposed to be bridge control and a customs house. The sob story is that I dont want you all to hold it against @LM71Blackbird that my half of our collab is not complete and there is only 1 photo. 

"Anyway, here's Wonderwall"

Looks great @CapOnBOBS! If your computer is out of contention, better build it with real bricks

Oh hell no! Let the man have that as a Large. It's not perfect, but it is a damn good build. I've submitted worse things as finished builds.

@CapOnBOBS I like your digital builds. You have a lot of great ideas and build quality buildings and dioramas. I like the 2 towers and the building in half-timbered style. It's siesta right now, so we don't see any minifigures on the construction site.

 

I also only learned to secure everything immediately through pain. For the next time. A USB stick is small and handy. Then you can save the data on the laptop and secure it on the USB stick.
