Thanks for the up-date, woody64

As Matn already said, you have to create a new topic of your entry, with the name of the entry as the Topic Title and 'MCW 2010 entry' as the Topic Description. Welcome to Eurobricks, btw

Thank you, and good luck

Neat idea, Magnus the Great. Thanks for sharing it!

Ops, I meant to comment on this yesterday, but I forgot These are a neat video and decal you show us, exxtrooper! Having some experience with this kind of presentation and work, I can imagine the ammount of effort it took to make the video. Thanks for sharing

I see WhiteFang already answered the questions Yes, the electroplated chrome items can be seen in BrickArms.com shop (modern combat and blade packs). As for the prototypes, you can get an idea of them by looking at this thread on Eurobricks, or following the Tales from the garage on BA forum. The actual contents of the Prototypes bags may vary from one prize to the other and they will be a little surprise for the winners

You can make any character from any media, as long as you respect also this rule:

You're right. I'll put it in the ideas' book for next years!

Not if someone in the other country wins a prize too! So, for the good of all Nations, take part in this contest and make good entries

Glad you like it, WF. I thought you deserved a new one, after all the effor you put in those great contests

Great job, IronArtist, and thanks for sharing! As to the why, maybe I can offer you a short reply (much on the lines of what you already said): because it's always good to add and share beautiful (and cool) things in this world

Glad to see more people interested in this contest Good to hear that. We're here to make people happy!

Dear Eurobricks members, we remind you that you still have about 2 weeks to sumbit your entries for the Let's go Cosplay contest in our Minifig Customisation Workshop. (Click on the image to read all about this contest) Moreover, for all those who may have not realised it yet, we have some very generous prizes doneted by BrickArms which are definetly worth it! (Click on the image to know more about the prizes) So, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and submit your entries!

I think this is a common concern among decal users, and with reason. In my experience, I have always used plain torsos whenever possible, to avoid the risk. But in some cases (lack of plain torso of the proper colour), I've used printed ones to. The other point is I prefer using removable post-it-like paper for decals, as the glue is less aggressive. That said, you will understand I've limited experience with regular tapes. But I have some: I used normal tape, bended over to make a sort of double tape, a few times. It did not visibly damage the printing on LEGO pieces. The real matter, however, is how strong the glue on your double tape is. If it's very strong, then it will probably damage the printing. And, the longer you let it apllied, the longer it will (chemically) interact with the plastic and ink and probably ruin them. I find this (used with the bent-over technique) to be the best tape for apllying decals without damaging the LEGO piece. I hope this long rant did not annoy helps you

Try using the colours listed in this chart for a start. Then, keep in mind that the paper you print your decals on will influence the result: on clear decal paper, the colour will look good when printed, but will remain a bit transparent and will blend with the part's colour when applied; on white decal paper, the colour will often look slightly lighter than actual LEGO and you may have to experiment a bit to darken it. Let apart normal paper, which will get a grainy effect, which is impossible to get rid of, being it connaturated in the support. All in all, I think clear decal paper is more indicated for darker colours, while white decal paper work good with lighter ones (light blue come out almost perfect, for example). Hope this helps you

Happy Birthday my friend! Knowing you, I'm sure you're enjoying it

Thank you and good luck.

How is it possible i missed this thread all day long? Anyway, really nice entry, darth yogi! Good luck for the voting.

Very nice presentation and neat collection of BA items you have here, WhiteFang! Thanks for sharing

Another entrant Your take on the cosplay theme is quite peculiar (in a positive way). I notice, though, that you missed one of the required shot of the custom figure: front, side and back. Please provide it before the contest ends

Very nice entry, KielDaMan! Buu is one of my favourite DBZ characters, too I just have to ask you to reduce your post by 2 pics, as by our contest's rules (max 5 pics per entry). Maybe you can change the second and the bonus pics to links? Thank you

So, anybody looking for a guide for that 'National Geographic' thing? All I'm going to say in: not always

Let the LEGO catch-phrase 'You control the action' be your guide! I'm sure the result will be of high quality either way, coming from you
