Nice work, you've got some good action going on here!

Nice work, the bridge/platform looks great! from me!

A great interior scene, the wall texture is excellent and I'm really liking the furniture and rug!

And the high council is on a roll... A nice build from you MS, especially those trees! I do think you could do slightly better on the bank but I understand that since there's not a whole lot of time here!

Bregir, I believe Ska is the one who decides where the guerrilla action will take place, not the builder. So don't make it overly specific to a certain locality I suppose.

Nice work here Gideon, a nice "reedy" feel and the color of the mud is great! You already have enough, but anyways!

I'll be your second on this build, as others have said the blood stream is really nice. I would have liked to see a bit smoother of a border though, or otherwise a bit of symmetry with the length of the missing squares/rectangles.

Was it ever really a rule? I always looked at it as more of a suggestion...

We're supposed to take down the enemy spies with skirmishing parties.

Does that answer your question?

No, keep track of approved credits on the tracking thread and just post pending ones here!

Great build Sarah, especially the roof but the little details inside the kennel are really nice too! Edit: +1 for the UoP credits!

Are green and red the two already used colors for the Ulandians?

Really nice frozen falls! The rockwork is great as well, and the light blue under the clear really gives it a frigid feel!

Thanks! It comes in bronze? Lord Duvors is right - I got it from a Ninjago polybag - six swords in one bag! Thanks! Thanks a ton for the tip! I was very not happy about the glow. Unfortunately this already long destroyed but I will definitely be filing the tip away in my mental photography advice booklet! Thank you! Thanks!

My camera does what it wants when it comes to focusing... haha. I need to find a way to control that better! Thanks! Thanks NM! I pride myself on my posing... Thanks also to Captain Braunsfeld, SK and ME for your comments!

A lazy, floating breeze blew through the forest. The dead leaves rustled and danced to its music as the little animals around gamboled in and out of their holes. Presently the wind died down and the leaves glided back down, too. The animals pricked up their ears as the whole forest seemed to catch its breath and wait. You could almost hear its heartbeat, sliding along, then faster, faster, rattling through the trees. Expectancy hung in the air. Suddenly the crunch of a human footstep broke in on the hushed, waiting stillness. It was a light step, eager and youthful, perhaps a little hurried. Abruptly the young man jumped up and tipped the end of a branch that hung down in front of him. He couldn't help it. He was too happy. Momentarily, he sped up, his eyes flashing with eagerness. He was coming back home! But then he slowed down, paused for a second. It had been so long! Who knew what awaited him, beyond those taciturn trees, over that silent hill? What might not have happened during his long absence? An undefined fear welled up in him. He crunched it down, stepping out firm and determined. And as he did so, his confidence seemed to return. He thought, with glittering eyes, of the welcome they would give him. His mother! The energy he gave to his next steps reflected the almost trembling enthusiasm that seemed to be carrying him forward with roller coaster speed. The crest of the hill was in sight, a few more steps, a short bound, and then - his journey's end! For a second, he looked down at the path, gathering himself for the moment he had waited for so long. He looked up. His keen, eager eyes grasped the landscape in front of him. But it was not what he had expected to see. He staggered backwards. A cold, numbing chill overwhelmed his heart. Some idle portion of his mind found time to think he must surely be dead, his heart was frozen. But a heavy, thumping beat soon undeceived him. He felt crushed. No! No, it was impossible! He drew a long breath. He did not believe it. His eyes were tricking him. All he had to do was go down there. Nothing had changed. Everything was still the same. The grey walls of his parent's castle would still smile down at him. The porter would still greet his voice with a shout of welcome. The rusty drawbridge would still creak on its hinges. It would still exasperate him by its tardiness. His mother would still come running down the walls and welcome him... he dropped to his knees, choked with sorrow. Staggering, he pushed forward the last few steps until he reached the peak. From there he looked down at the somber ruins, one lonely tower still pointing its finger to heaven. No. It would never be the same. A non-photoshopped image: This was based off Ian Spacek's Myriad, for the Symphony of Construction contest. I tried to follow the music with the story although I'm afraid some parts have to be read rather quickly and others slowly! Thanks for checking it out, comments are welcome!

Great forced perspective! The up close parts are good too, especially your landscaping. +1 on the UoP claims!

Great little scene Garmadon, the pillars especially look great and the story is pretty funny too! Edit: +1 for both your UoP claims!

Well, this is a rather tough decision. While Ageven is a loyal member of the High Council, he does not see why the Ulandians should be excluded - so far at least, their claims have been quite fair and worth at least a bit more consideration. Plus, Ageven has to consider what will be best for his town, which is in no shape to handle an attack after the recent earthquakes! And I rather think the Ulandians will be more fun. So mark me green! When does Challenge C start? (Hopefully not until the end of March as the MOCathalon will be sucking up my time during that month!) I'm not quite sure however that I completely understand how this works; did I get it right that you can build up to four builds a week? (One personal challenge, one counter-personal, then two for the two squares that are up for grabs that week - which means of course that the next week you won't have to do those.) Whew, that's a lot of building! What I'm concerned about is that some people will make rather quickly hashed, low quality entries and scoop up a lot of points which won't matter a whole lot as to which side wins (since if I got that right it's all voting) but will matter when it comes to who actually wins category C (again, if I understood correctly). Is there some way to maybe make it necessary for at least two thumbsup from a select group of say three people (who comment frequently & are fairly good builders) - something like the DoH system but a little easier? (For a build from one of those three, obviously the other two would have to thumbsup.) And it would probably be a good idea for each team to have their own PM thread, rather than a thread on the forum to avoid clutter (and protect secrecy... ).

Nice little vig, the table is neat and your photography is great!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my build!

Really like the shape of this throughout, especially the back legs, although there is something about the front arms that makes it look more like a land creature than one that flies The use of those wings for the tail is excellent!

Great work on both these builds MS, the windows on the first one are excellent and the pillars and wall on the second one give a very royal feeling!

They're still trying to pick themselves up off the ground! I dare say they've been a bit shaken up lately. I'll have to build something reflecting that soon.
