[gedren_y]

Damaximus, I'll go ahead and give you a +1 for all your claims here, except the Hydrology Sill Water for MAESTRO Shop. You already claimed that for Lake of the Trapped Warriors, and it is a better example.

[Gabe]

DM, I will give you +1 for City Life, Life in Kaliphlin and Marketplace (for your "West Inner Mpya Stedor in a time of Celebration" moc) Funnily enough i prefer your "Still water" example for your MAESTRO shop, rather than the older moc, and have approved it there. All other credits are in the comments on each moc - please take the time to read through them, as i haven't approved them all.

[Garmadon]

I'd like to recieve UoP credit for GNAR The IceStorm for:

Trade and Law - Shipping by Sea/Water

[Kai NRG]

Just went through a whole bunch of MOCs and gave several credits. Please let me know if anyone I haven't approved/disapproved yet is still pending!

@DM, I'll give you the credits for West Inner MP in time of celebration, but I don't quite see the Lake of the Trapped Warriors as qualifying for still water. Seems a bit bumpy for that. The rest are in their own threads.

[Gabe]

I'd like to apply for UoP credits for my The Sanctuary of Bloodleaf Shrine build:

Architecture - 1x Roof technique

Architecture - Advanced SNOT (for the circular 1st floor balcony)

Landscape Design - 1x Tree

Anthropology - Life in Avalonia

Thankyou for your consideration

[Kai NRG]

I'd like to claim roofing #1 (wood roof), roofing #2 (stone roof), wall technique #3 (all three Architecture), flowers and dense foliage landscaping (Landscaping Design) for my Drafted!

Please note that the wall technique I used there is outwardly quite similar to my A Child's Dream. However, the Castle was completely SNOTted (considerably easier) + included round towers, not slanted pillars. Hopefully they're sufficiently different to qualify, but I did feel that I should mention it.

[Kayne]

I'd like to claim some UoP credits for my Challenge 2 build http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96677

-Life in Avalonia

-Still Water

-Studs up Rocks and Cliffs

-Flowers and Dense Foliage

Thanks!

[Garmadon]

I would like to recieve UoP credit for Challenge II Category A - A Discussion on Strategies for:

Landscape Design: trees 1

I am also still missing one credit for [GNAR] The IceStorm for shipping by sea (the credits I have are from Kai, Gabe and nstickney, BTW) and one for AoM Barracks Phase I - Sparring for dense foilage (credits from Gideon, Kai, and gedren_y). (No need to bump such an old thread; I would appreciated it if someone could approve it here though )
