      I’m going to take the low road and say that I was severely offended by @finntegotash and his comment on flickr suggesting that I’m an old fart that doesn’t know what all the cool trends are in the AFOL community and throw the gauntlet to the whipper snappers this Quarter. He and @hacim get to pick the build challenge. I think single part build was suggested. When it’s not a school night, and when you don’t have to do your chores for computer time, feel free to set the challenge for the group. 😉

            OK, @hacim and I chatted and the build category will be 1 piece build.

            The rules are simple. You have to make a model using only one repeated part.

            You can find some examples of these type of builds here.

            Micah is up for judging, although if someone else wants to, speak up.

                Challenge Accepted. Unless I don’t get around to it. As per usual.

                  Once you pick a peice out, it’s hard to spend too much time on it. both the ones I’ve done were quick one day builds. If your having trouble thinking of a piece use, and willing to do illegal connections, something with a clip on it normally works well. You can connect it to another clip, bar, plate, and I’m sure much more, in a lot of different ways. I tried to take advantage of that in this build: https://www.flickr.com/photos/97645378@N02/20397680124/in/dateposted-public/

                    Based on the beast, Micah would probably crush this contest.

                      illegal connections

                      No such thing. If the pieces fit together, it works. Anyways, that is good advice. And Greg is right, Micah would probably crush us all in this contest. Now all we have to worry about is Aaron. 🙂

                        Question:

                        I’ve pretty much finished my entry. However, I’d like to “improve” it by adding different parts to it. My question is, can I submit my entry now, via pictures, and then continue “finishing” my build? I’m not sure I can wait.

                          Sure, I’ll allow that!
                          Seeing creations in real life can make them easier to judge though, so if you could have the improved build there, that would still help a lot 😉

                              Josh wins already. So by showing your winning entry, nobody else is going to participate.

                              Seriously, we have no shot at winning.

                                Well, not with that attitude…

                                I am quite sure that was Josh’s strategy here. Intimidation. But… do you think he’s compensating for something…?

                                        But just to clarify – different colors of the same part are acceptable, no? Based on @hacim’s beast, and some others in the photostream, I’m assuming so. Also… some people in that group don’t get the point – the first four photos in the stream at the moment (pigs, Star Wars x2, plants) aren’t even close to 1PU. What the heck?

                                        Also – do we have a Q4 meeting in the works at which we’ll have this contest?

                                          Yes, different colors are aloud.
                                          As far as the group goes, the admin doesn’t moderate it super closely, but I’m sure those photos will get removed in the next couple days.

                                                      BTW, this was precisely his downfall in that LEGO firewalk at PBF this past spring…
