Garmadon Posted February 1, 2024 Posted February 1, 2024 Deadline extended to April 7 Strange events have been taking place in the New Haven sea - ships gone missing, unusual weather patterns, kraaken sightings, and billowing volcanoes - and now it's the bravest of the brave who are venturing out to find out what's up! Category A - build an MOC to show what is going on in the New Haven seas - no explanation of what caused the events is necessary (though of course you can specify or speculate), just show us what is actually happening! Either sea or land-based builds are allowed, but they must take place within the New Haven Sea zones. 32x32 maximum size. Category B - This is a story category - get us interested in your characters, the strange occurences in the New Haven sea, and excited to find out what happens next! For this category you must introduce us to your figs (either you main character, secondary characters, or completely new ones!) - you can do this however you like, from pictures of your minifigs on a plate to a dedicated MOC or hero shots! - and 2+ builds telling your story! No minimum or maximum except your ambition (and time). Note: you may include your Category A build as part of your story (Cat. B) entry if you like, but it will not be counted with your other (2+) builds towards the final judging score. Deadline: March 31st April 7 Post your entries in this topic! Prizes: First place winners in both categories will get their choice from four custom Brethren of the Brick Seas faction minifigures commissioned from Rocky Mountain Minifigs. Second place winners in each category will get to choose from the remaining prize figures not selected by the first place winners. Prizes generously sponsored by @Jeff of Clubs. Prize minifigures: Spoiler Spoiler As promised, we'll be keeping you busy with a number of transition challenges while we're waiting for all the details and automation work for Era III to be completed, so clear your building spots and get hyped! A few general rules: Entries must be linked in this thread, and should have [TC] prefixed to the title of your post (Transition Challenge). All entries must be new builds, blah blah blah, you know the drill. Prizes: First place winners in both categories will get their choice from four custom Brethren of the Brick Seas minifigures commissioned from Rocky Mountain Minifigs. Second place winners in each category will get to choose from the remaining prize figures not selected by the first place winners. See above spoiler for mockup of figures. Digital entries are allowed and will be judged together with the physical entries __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Category A Index of Entries: Storm Chasers | COR | @Bricksbypidy Kraken Attack | COR | @Bricksbypidy Sailing to the New Haven Sea | SR | @NOD Something's Cooking! | SR | @Professor Thaum Finis Dierum | OL | @Keymonus Strange Weather | COR | @LM71Blackbird Sunken Ship | COR | @lmcpicture Something Smells Fishy | SR | @SevenDeadlyStreamers The Enchanted Forests of Avestia | COR | @Brickwolf Category B Index of Entries: The Orders & The Questers & A New Adventure | SR | @Professor Thaum Ironhook the Third and Sharktooth Tower | | @MightyThorngren The Conclusion | SR | @Fraunces Something about the butcher's cat | COR | @Bregir Killing the Competition | COR | @Brickwolf Quote

Yperio_Bricks Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 My first thought was a microscale build of an island with either a volcanic eruption our some big waves hitting the shores. But i am not so much into microscale... Quote
