Well done to those keeping the site fresh and updated - the Autumn colours look great.

I am very impressed by the detail and quality of the uniforms and all the suggested flags. I have placed my favourites above.

Wow. Fabulous build. Brilliant details. Love the photo/lighting. Top bananas all round.

Brilliant build. Love the hull build and the folded up sails.

Congratulations, she's a fine looking ship.

Generally I much prefer pictorial and verbal descriptions which are great for idle browsing and the details on the images can be enjoyed at leisurely pace. Occaisionally vids are helpful for if there is elaborate motion to demonstrate.

Hi, well done everyone. I vote for 124 jarred 3 points 180 kritch 3 points belgium nil point. Sorry ignore that last one.Too many Eurovision parties. :)

A classic movie scene. The b&w image is a great photo of the build.

Turtly minamilistic (6 pieces)

Think of the big picture! If we did not buy lego, the lego company would go bust and there would be no more lego for the children of the world. So whilst we may suffer financial hardship, its our civic duty, its almost charity. Can we claim tax deduction for altruistic lego buys? No? Oh well.

Traditional, but its green! Cowabunga.

For taking pictures of lego dioramas then a compact zoom camera like the canon power shot that you have linked to will do the job very nicely. Canon and Nikon are great brands but carry a slight premium. Panasonic and Fuji also make great compact zoom cameras, often at slightly lower price points- have a look at the Fujifilm finepix S series (26x optical zoom, close focussing on Amazon for $130). If you have time to set the shot up, then a tripod makes getting close and steady, much easier. For close ups, I would rather have a cheap camera and a tripod than an expensive camera. An A3 piece of card to put under and behind the model makes for a nice clean background. I would also consider getting a reflector which are quite cheap but really useful bits of kit for giving subtle directional lighting. Happy shopping.

Great vignette - love the back wall and the 1x2 technic brick above the window is fab.

Brilliant build, beautifully created. A definite "Stop throwing those bl@@dy spears at me!" moment. (No, MC didnt say this in Zulu, but he should have)
