For all of you who don't know what a community build is:
A community build is a building challenge open to all EB members. Basically, The staff/volunteers make a list of different buildings that would comprise a town of the late 1700's. Then, each person chooses a building that they would like to build.
To sum it up, You will be building a pirate era town out of Lego.
The Rules
1. The build will officially begin on January 4th and ends on the 15th of March.
2. The staff/judges reserve the right to revoke any entry that does not apply to the rules.
3. If you take a spot, tell us, (so you don't get annoyed when somebody else builds the same thing first).
4. Images no larger than 800 x 600 please, and a maximum of 7 per MOC unless you post smaller images (*)
5. Registration is open to any member, regardless of number of posts , etc.
6. Try to keep the violence to a minimum.
7. You must enjoy making MOCs (though this is a given) and be able to give, as well as take constructive criticism.
8. No LDD entries are allowed. All entries MUST be built with real bricks.
9. Spaces 1, 3 and 4 are 32 x 32 studs, spaces 2,5 and 6 are 16 x 32 studs and the others are 16 x 16 studs.
10. Registration will take place in this thread.
11. Post your entries in the entry thread AND in a new thread inside the Pirate MOC forum (this one is for comments and feedback). The description of your thread should be "EB Community Build".
(*) When taking pictures, please take at least one picture from above your MOC, so that we can try to put them all together at the end. Also, please take them on a white background if possible.
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
