So much action in such a little space! A masterpiece - well done. Not an inch of the build is wasted space. I especially love the saber that is through the yellowcoat in the foreground. His arm is perfectly positioned to hide whatever movie magic is going on behind to make it possible. The swivel bases in your build base look awesome as well.

Nice troop build :) I love the landscape colors, and it has a good mix of tiles and plates. You may be able to lighten the first picture in Photoshop or Lightroom - it looks a little underexposed/dark at the moment. I think you are doing some cool SNOT work on the base but it's hard to make out. Could work for an evening build, though. Lighting in second pic is great. While they are fleshies, still good to see the array of redcoat power - especially classic torsos! My current thinking on boot pants (e.g., on your officer) is that they represent pretty tall boots on soldiers, so by having the officer have them and the rank and file soldiers not it paints a picture of the soldiers with boots under their pants. How civilized A from me for GoC

I think in general you can find bricks that are older than current year (2021 and before) for cheaper on Bricklink. If you get good at searching that site you can usually find sellers that have specific bricks in bulk for cheap prices and have low shipping prices. Some sellers raid the in-store PAB wall and then list items in bulk for cheap. That said, some pieces (like bley 75 deg slopes, nougat/sand blue/olive green colors) are still more expensive on Bricklink and just normally priced on Lego.com. The inverse is true, too, though, as Lego.com charges an arm and a leg for certain parts like printed pieces, glow in the dark and metallic gold colors, etc. While Lego.com has a very huge selection, there are some bricklink sellers that also do! Some BL sellers give you free shipping once you hit a $20 threshold But, you can use VIP points on lego.com for $ off the total... A final thought is if you are looking for older colors like sand red, sand purple, medium green, light green, light gray, dark gray, brown, etc, then Bricklink is your only option :)

Thanks! Clear bricks are an interesting idea - will give it a try, though it would require some reconfiguration of the front stone frame :)

Oh cool would love to see a link

There were envelope tiles on the PAB wall for AFOL day, so trying out a new window technique :D

Agreed, would love to have you in the game @Legostein!

Agreed!

Awesome job! I like the scale of the ship in the background

Had a chance to meet @Vedauwoo at this past weekend's FanExpo Denver where CoWLUG and DENLUG had a display. We may be seeing his return to BoBS in the future

Thanks! The chevrons are just a little sticker I printed onto Avery shipping labels

Thanks! I especially like your use of the torso on top of the trans tiles in the first part of the build - looks great! Hopefully the barracuda aren't too hungry or too big Both builds do a good job of capturing a wild, lush landscape. The nougats and dark orange look good for clay-y soils. A for GoC from me Congrats on striking silver!

Some experimentation with the Bruce Wayne Tuxedo legs hips:

Yes, definitely worth an experiment! Not a big fan of the gold laces on the nutcracker boots, but the hips might be just the ticket if they match up well

Thanks! Thanks! I'm excited to pick this one up from the museum in September so I can have my colors back! Oh yeah size-wise definitely not designed to be a LEGO IDEAS build, just submitted afterward after receiving some prodding

Either that or it's a magic forest - up to the reader

Looking good, @Darnok! Do you have a picture of the whole build you could share? GoC builds have a minimum size of 20x20 and I think you've met that, but would love to see the whole thing together! Thanks

Nice job recreating that classic set, @Captain Braunsfeld! The little brick-built cannon is great

Gorgeous and well thought-out, @omnihash_cz! Great job including those classic baseplates

Captain Featherly overheard his men discussing Private Rudding's predicament. Rudding had his eye on the cooper's daughter, but didn't have the nerve to speak with her. Featherly approached the group and addressed Rudding. "My dear boy, I happen to have heard that the cooper's wife is in need of assistance carrying supplies into their shop from the shed. Be a good chap and go lend a hand." -------------- OOC: An excuse to try using Bruce Wayne Tuxedo hips under the imperial admiral torso. I think the hips do a good job filling out the bottom of the waistcoat!
