      I’m open to suggestions. going forward, anytime anyone has a challenge they’d like to judge or suggest, just post a thread and we’ll make it so!

      I’m thinking GARC will be our Q3 challenge.

      Shake & Bake

      anyone up to the challenge?

          I’m gonna suggest a build challenge that involves using as many of this piece in red as possible, as creatively as possible:

          If only we knew somebody who has a whole case of them, and is so free with them that he literally tosses handfuls of them into the air in celebration.

            I look at spaceships and I feel like Hamm in this exchange:

            Mr. Potato Head: Hey, Hamm. Look, I’m Picasso!
            Hamm: I don’t get it.
            Mr. Potato Head: You uncultured swine!

              Are there any rules for the racing spaceships?

                There’s a list of requirements for this style of ship on that Flickr page:
                -Must have 2 crew members per ship (pilot & navigator)
                -No weapons
                -Must look FAST 🙂
                -The crazier the colour scheme the better

                I already have a general idea of what mine will look like

                  sounds like we have our first volunteer to judge!

                    Are you running a ‘purist’ competition here? The reason I ask: GARC is based on heavily on the idea of NASCAR in space, and so sponsor advertisements on vehicles are a big part of it. I’m going thru the GARC group on flickr, all the builds I consider to be the GARCiest use a lot of stickers on the vehicles for ads, almost always in ways that the stickers were not intended in their original sets. But I’m also seeing a lot of custom stickers printed for a lot of the builds. Gonna allow that for the competition?

                      okay

                      Are you running a ‘purist’ competition here?

                      no

                      I’m also seeing a lot of custom stickers printed for a lot of the builds. Gonna allow that for the competition?

                      yes, but this example photo just blows my mind; I mean, that is made of LEGO parts? really?

                        okay

                        Such enthusiasm 😀

                        And yeah, that’s a good one, definitely nice and GARCy.

                                      Well, *I* did…

                                      …and I added them to our Flickr group and approved the other submissions.

                                      You’re welcome.

                                      [Okay, technically I didn’t get a pic of Aaron’s rockin’ GARC but that’s just because he packed it up so early…]

                                        I just assumed after Greg’s judging everyone had gotten to see the builds as much as they wanted too. 😉
