Skalldyr Posted February 28, 2019 Hey there lovely Eventees! 6 weeks until we will see each other in the beautiful south of Germany and it is time for a event building challenge! This year it will be: Build your own town in style of the LEGO Architecture Skyline Series. So get creative and show us what your surroundings have to offer. That way we also learn even more about each other. The rules should be easy (if you have questions just ask) and as following: Use LEGO to build a skyline in style of the LEGO Architecture Skylines. Use some nice buildings or interesting sight seeing spots of the town you live in. (If it would be suuuper small and there is a bigger town near by I guess it would be fine to use that town. But e.g. don't build the skyline of Copenhagen if you would live in Billund) Keep it in roughly the same size as the models form LEGO. A nice paper print out with some informations about the skyline would be nice too.Have fun! The event-set we got on our last visit to Günzburg in 2017 would be a nice example: See you soon and happy building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holodoc Posted March 1, 2019 Thank you for this wonderful contest! Although I'm living in a small town, it offers plenty of buildings to form a skyline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eiker86 Posted March 1, 2019 This was a nice challenge. I hope I manage to get my idea into bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MstrOfPppts Posted March 1, 2019 Great stuff, can't wait to start building! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted March 1, 2019 This will be a great challenge. I live in a small town, probably much smaller than Holodoc's, and there are not many interesting buildings to see. Will do my best to make it more interesting in a Skyline version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MstrOfPppts Posted March 6, 2019 @CopMike are we getting the 1x8 tiles for our skylines printed? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted March 8, 2019 Building underway! I have two elements of my skyline built and a few more to go. I am drawing from the city I work in as the village where I live is too small to have iconic structures. (Unless you have a real love for Victorian/ Edwardian terrace houses).

Peppermint_M Posted March 9, 2019 It is built! Now to find a decent box to put it in for transport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaionaut Posted March 16, 2019 Thank you for the organization of the building challenge, @Skalldyr! The skyline of my hometown essentially consists of a large building complex, but I've wanted to build it for a long time. Just spent "a little" money at BrickLink for this after planning it digitally in Stud.io. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
