Thank you sharing!

We can blog this on Classic-Pirates.com for additional exposure - is there a logo, photo or graphic we can use in the blog post?

Ooo! Seems fun!

It's my first time attenting Brickworld this year, and this seems like it would be a fun way to contribute--even if I'd likely only be able to muster a small ship or something. I remember seeing pictures of the underwater scene from last year I think; would it be of a similar height? (Ergo, what would the height limit be for something "underwater"?)

And don't forget to take plenty of pictures during the event for those people who can't make it there but would love to see it anyway .

I suggest using the Brickworld logo for a blog post. You can find one example here: http://brickworldbts.blogspot.com/

Thank you for blogging about the event.

Small ships would definitely be welcome. The underwater sea would have a similar height of approximately 6 bricks. I will double check this measurement.

We will certainly take numerous pictures of the display to share.

Thanks!

I'm confused - is this collaboration the same as the one in this thread: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=95868 ?

Never mind, I figured it out. I'm bailing on the Pirate collaboration for this year. I had registered a MOC thinking I'd figure out how to make an existing MOC bigger and fit into Pirates later, but I am running out of time and still not even up on how to build water for the module I wanted to build.
