No problem! Awesome stuff here, filled with neat details. I really like those benches, they look simple at first but have some nice part usage.

Great set, turns out way better than I expected. The furniture and the filled cupboards are well done and better than the Friends sets!

I think it's a beauty, I love how the comparison between the t1 and t2 shows how much better looking these 18+ get. The one disappointing part is the scale, though it's never really been about scales but just really about the model.

Regarding the cmf challenge, I've updated it with just a bit more info.

Ow wow! This is a very neat twist on the set, love that idea!

And the winners are: CDC1 Tower: Ayrlego A landslide victory. Clean photography, great tower, and without using any snow it feels very Mitgardian. Nicely done! CDC1 Tale: Louis of Nutwood This category was really exciting, but a win in the end. The love of telling stories and combining that with LEGO resulted in a great entry. Well done!

It's almost an amazing 10 years ago since the first members settled in Historica. So, of course, we are going to celebrate this in a fantastic way in October with some amazing prizes. October is still far away, so to kick-off there will be two rounds of challenges. Just for fun, but also as a mandatory threshold to participate in the last round. You need to have at least 3 Guild mocs! This can be free builds, but easier is just joining the fun with these new challenges. So new and old members, have fun and start building for the glory of Mitgardia!!! Or of course a guild of your choice Runtime: July, August, September and October. Results will be announced in November Category 1: Populating Historica(post topic as CDC2 CMF"member name") Like the watchtower challenge, the CMF challenge was incredibly popular. So be creative and make 16 minifigs that fit Historica perfectly. You have to represent all five guilds at least once. So 1 for each guild and going nuts with 11 more for Varlyrio is perfectly fine. A post requires an overview shot of all 16 minifigs and a shot of each one individually with a little bit of information/backstory. For example: past random entry (Only official LEGO parts allowed!) Category 2: Ancient Wonders (post topic as CDC2 Ancient Wonders:"moc-name") Also a blast from the past! Sacred trees in Avalonia, Dwarven statues in Mitgardia, Lava pits in Nocturnus, Beautiful churches in Varlyrio, Oases in Kaliphlin, and so much more. Show one of Historica's Wonders in all its glory! This time first and second place of both categories get two of those shiny new Falcon Knights and a Guilds of Historica Brick. But wait.... There's more.... That's why there's also more time to build. The winner of the first category will also get a(Ninjago set(TBA)) and, drum roll please.... The winner of the second category will get The Ideas Blacksmith!

This Saturday. I'll also announce the winners of the first round on Saturday. So if you haven't voted yet, you still got some time.

Also wrong!! When looking at Dextrus' banner it should be on the right side: I think you should start a civil war about which color should go on top

What a beast! Very impressive to manage this on such a scale!

I'm pretty sure I did, because I even changed the size of the picture... Anyway thanks for the heads up.

He actually can, which is why his tower is also in the voting thread

Voting starts! Great work everyone! Tower Tale

Yes, the idea was to start the new Book while celebrating the anniversary. So probably October/November!

Awesome entries👍

Yes

Good to see you around again! This is just the first part, so the second part of the challenges might also be inspirational

You can tell your friend that a flag isn't mandatory If you mean a creative approach like a tower being build or a ruin that's totally fine.

The new candle piece has a lot of potential! The set is a nice parts pack for the right price when on sale. The minifigs are great though, especially Nick and Dumbledore!
