CopMike Posted November 19, 2019 EB Xmas Raffle Build 2019! It's soon that time again, when somebody sneaks into your home down the chimney and leaves a lot of presents under the tree! This year sadly, you have to rely on Santa only! Due to some issues the isn´t a prize pool availiable but ............. This year we invite all of you to build anyway, out of the pure joy of building and not for the chance to win free stuff! The manatees also gets to rest and just enjoy this Xmas instead of swimming around the whole world ! This year the MOC theme is snow, ice or any form of frozen water you think is right to get the Xmas spirit up! Build any way you like and take a pic/screen shot and post it! Read the rules & post your MOC in this thread! The only rules are: This is a fun thing, so have FUN! The MOC needs to have at least two (2) original Lego pieces in it, NO clone ones. You can build either with real parts or use LDD, MLCad etc. The MOC needs to be new - no recycling here please - just fresh stuff. The MOC must be posted in this thread before 9 pm GMT, by the 26th of December, 2019. Your MOC must be one image (and only one image) and be no larger than 1000x800 pixels. One MOC per person. All members including the Staff can join! Did I mention that you need to have fun? I hope there will be lots of great MOCs anyway and that you enjoy yourself - both in building and seeing all the others creations! Xmas Spirit ON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pdaitabird Posted November 20, 2019 Ok, might as well get started: Here's a steam tractor dragging a freshly cut spruce tree through a snow-covered field. It's loosely inspired by @ScotNick's excellent traction engine. I never realized how yellowed my white plates were until now! I can't wait to see everyone's builds!

Jacob Nion Posted November 25, 2019 This is sad. I hope it's not due to Lego not providing prizes anymore. I hope I'll be able to come up with something suitable, but I can't think of any other form of frozen water besides snow and ice right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg3 Posted November 25, 2019 Glad this is going ahead this year - manatees prizes or not it's become a part of my Christmas build up!! Anyway, here's my MOC (think I might have taken the theme a little too literally!) Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't going to enter this year since I was lucky enough to win two prizes in a row I previous years but I will hopefully contribute something to this thread! I have something colourful in mind, which is unusual for me... Happy Christmas / holidays everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted November 26, 2019 Yay! I was hoping there would be some kind of contest. I'll get started on my entry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted November 27, 2019 So far I am drawing a complete blank! I live in sunny So. Cal, so snow and ice really don't get me in the spirit. But I will try as I am quite a fan of the Christmas Raffle and it is always fun to see what others have done. Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketeer Posted December 2, 2019 Here's a contribution from me :) With the Santa theme last year I made a Santa "Megafigure" - with the Snow theme this year, I thought I'd make a Snowman Megafigure!Snowman Megafigure by inklingbricks, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Meleca Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Merry Christmas every year my daughters were in the raffle, and this year will not be different, They always play with their lego friends in ice. We live in Brazil and the Christmas is always very hot this time of the year. Thank you all for this incredible raffle building event you have organized every year. Wish you all the best!
