Christmas

One more. This was pretty much me frantically getting the last presents wrapped and under the tree this morning. Now I'm just waiting for the rest of the family to wake up. Anyway, iElkie's And What about Santa?.

Merry Christmas!

Today's Google doodle is focused on Rosa Parks, who 55 years ago today refused to give up her bus seat, leading to the start of a key phase in the American civil rights movement. After she passed away a few years ago I made this vig commemorating this moment in history.

Ouch!

Karf Oohlu made use of some of the new elements from the Collectible Figs in WHOOPS!...Silly me.... "...I was supposed to throw the prop dart wasn't I, not the proper dart, always get them mixed up, tee hee hee"

Doomed to repeat history

Over on Brick Horizon they are holding the Historic Vig Contest 2 - build a vig of a historic event from your home country. Mcasey07 took on the recent past with the London Underground bombing from 2005.



Setting aside the non-ideal photography, I really like the way he put a facade of a subway train at the back of the tunnel. Also very nice that the focus of the vig is not on the violence of the action, but rather on the cooperation of people coming together in the aftermath.

One small step for minifigs

One choked his little self and then there were nine."

Step right up

Eurobricks Collectable LEGO Minifigures Series 2 Building Contest

Over on Eurobricks they are holding a contest to highlight the Series 2 Collectible Minifigs. In Category A, participants were challenged to build an 8x8 vig to display one of the newest figs. In Category B, people built 16x16 vigs to show the interaction between figs from Series 1 and Series 2. Key to this contest is that the Series 2 fig was not supposed to be actually included in the MOC, so the viewers were to imagine its inclusion. You still have a few days to build and submit an entry, so get busy this weekend. For instance:

For the witch:

For the surfer dude:

Checkmate
