Hopefully there has not been a message that it was delayed! Looks like we rode through fine otherwise. My job was affected by the Rackspace downtime on Tuesday, so an amusing coincidence for me

@Jim The server is in Central European Time right?

Nougat seems to be the new term in place of Flesh.

They do look a lot like Tente ones. This eBay listing photo has a good look at those wheels/cones https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0933PR28M?tag=picclick02-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1 This amazon listing has a good side view. If you compare them to these pictures it might prove true.

Sure you can. Of course presenting the whole set as an entry won't count .

These are excellent creations. The colourful shades and clever construction are great. Indeed a MOC one could call Art. Thanks for sharing these with the forum.

The Server that hosts Eurobricks will be down on Wednesday 31/May/2023, between 2200 and 0800 the next day. More information can be found Here.

Hi users! Admin have received a message from the server hosts. As you can see, Eurobricks may be offline for a few hours on 31 May but don't panic! They also mention nothing should change from the maintenance so the forum will be just the same as ever once the server is back online. This has been an advanced warning.

60287 - Tractor. My second purchase of the set (I am very easy to sell to if a set that costs more than £10 is reduced to less than £10...) as the wheels are nice for my collection, as are the windscreens. Also, Bunny! Affordable LEGO animals, extra cherry on top for me. The crate is a nice colour which adds a realistic variety to my collection of old brown and reddishbrown that makes good set dressing in a MOC (No lie, I have loved those crates since my first one in the Scorpion Tracker and as I have unfortunately reminded everyone, that was 25 years ago). The build is simple, as expected of a City set aimed at the slightly younger audience, however it is nice and solid like a tractor should be.

Yep, what the fine member said, EB can't afford to host all the many many MOC pictures so they have to be uploaded elsewhere and deeplinked here. The upload space that is available to members is for avatar images mostly.

Category C - Ride to Adventure: Some form of vehicle for an adventurer. From All terrain truck to Dog Sled, an adventurer has to get to their goal. This one allows for Digital Entries and figures that don't have to be Adventurer theme characters. The prize up for Grabs is 50 Euro to spend on LEGO sets on the LEGO online shop. Rules Recap: No clone brands but custom figure parts/prints are acceptable. Digital entries are only accepted for the Ride to Adventure category. This must be a new MOC or otherwise significantly different to previously posted builds- For example, a nice statue build already shared can form an element of the new MOC, likewise a desk/bookshelf design. As long as it is not the main or largest part of the contest entry, recycling is allowed within reason. If a vehicle is present as part of the larger categories, it cannot be entered into the Ride to Adventure category. The Great Adventure and From the Office of builds do not have to be assembled onto a baseplate, but must demonstrably be within the stipulated footprint. A scale shot has to be included extra to the entry photos that shows the footprint (ruler, plates, outline. Anything that can be used to prove the MOC sits within the required footprint for the category). Reasonable overhang is limited to incidental points no more than 4 studs over the boundary. A tree branch, flagpole or other small features. Hight limit can be defined if it must, but for now it simply has to be a stable build that does not topple. Entries are to be posted in their own thread with up to three photos to showcase the MOC, not inclusive of the scale photo if required. Further photos can be shared in the MOC thread, indicated to be extra to the chosen entry pictures. A link for your Category C entry must be shared in this thread in order to be considered for the contest. Entries posted until 0:00 on 18/08/2023 will be eligible to enter. Discussion of the rules takes place Here. Entries may be frontpaged or shared on social media to promote the contest.

Category B - From the office of...: On a maximum footprint of 32x32 create the home work environment of the classic Johnny Thunder characters. From Doctor Charles Lightning's study to the Library at Sinister Mansion, everyone has a space to prepare for future adventure. As with the main category, the figures have to be recognisable as the Adventurer characters as best as possible. The prize up for Grabs is 100 Euro to spend on LEGO sets on the LEGO online shop. Rules Recap: No clone brands but custom figure parts/prints are acceptable. Digital entries are only accepted for the Ride to Adventure category. This must be a new MOC or otherwise significantly different to previously posted builds- For example, a nice statue build already shared can form an element of the new MOC, likewise a desk/bookshelf design.

Category A - Great Adventure: Build an adventure on a maximum 48x48 footprint. This can be an epic rebuild of an old set, a new location in a past adventure or a whole new challenge for Johnny Thunder and friends. Treasures, rivals, monsters and ruins; even after 25 years, the Adventurers are ready! While original figures or the obvious callback minifigs from more recent themes are not necessary, the figures at least have to be recognisable as Johnny Thunder and co. The prize up for grabs is 150 Euro to spend on LEGO sets on the LEGO online shop. Rules Recap: No clone brands but custom figure parts/prints are acceptable.

Yeah, it is. But Playmobil has managed to make three interesting blind bag figures, LEGO put one ghost guy in a theme that didn't really fly. I know I can mix and match figures to make Steampunk figures for myself but they could maybe give us a few more breadcrumbs.

Unpopular opinion (probably not). The Playmobil collectable figures series has currently got a Third Steampunk figure to collect. Yup, a third. Two previous series have also had steampunk figures. LEGO? LEGO has had zero. Zilch. None. I want a steampunk CMF. I am not asking for a full theme, a special set, a GWP. Nope, just one little CMF would be nice.
