Thanks! I thought a little stream might add to it! Thanks Gabe! I pride myself on my microscale building... Yes... I definitely agree about the brightness. I usually play around with that a bit but somehow wasn't satisfied with the way it looked a little brighter this time, so I left it as it is.

Go for it! I wish CCC were at some other date this year... I'm going to be away from just about all my bricks from mid Nov until January!

Those are given by staff, sometimes for a comment (like "Hippy Kicker"), sometimes for MOCing or other stuff (like "Mitgardia's MOCing Machine").

Thanks SK! That's one of the things I like most about micro; since it's smaller, you can give a lot of attention to every single detail! Thanks! The build started off with the horses, then came the carriage, and then (after a few failed attempts at scenery), the rest! Thanks Tomas of Tortuga!

Much as Valdivus said, all you need to do to sign up is build a sig-fig (a minifigure who will represent you in your builds and storyline) and give that character a short background story (some are longer than others!), and then post it here. Most members use Flickr or Brickshelf (or something simmilar) to upload their photos and then deeplink them here. (If you need help with that we'd be happy to help!) There isn't much of a in guild ranking system, but to earn points for your guild you can free-build (basically, build anything relevant to Historica, and post as a seperate topic in the forum). After your character intro you are free to build when and how you like, however there are often benefits to entering guild specific challenges (one of those is going on currently), occasionally there are storyline builds or other collaborative builds that are also enjoyable. And there are the "main" Historica Challenges - Challenge I is going on right now in Nocturnus!

Probably 'cause they're afraid you'll abscond with it! I have lots of misc. wheels and windshields/windows in particular that I don't use, but most of my other pieces have come into use at one time or another.

Thanks everyone! Thanks ZC! Thanks Infernum! Thanks Gideon! Yeah, I've found that (especially in micro-scale) size isn't always so important. It was nice not to have to worry about having too few pieces for a change! (Actually I was a little short on light grey 1x1 rounds, but managed to borrow some...)

My latest free-build is up! (Picture = link to topic!)

This MOC is set long, long ago, back when the high king of Historica ruled and had his little summer palace up in an invite nook in the Rakath Mountains of Kaliphlin. King Arthur was in a good mood, as he always was when he looked forward to a nice relaxing vacation in his summer castle, and Queen Guinevere was in a bad mood, as she always was when riding in a carriage, particularly along the edge of such a bumpy precipice as this one - and presently, after a harder bump than usual, King Arthur stuck his head out of the window and called to the driver, "The Queen and I will walk now, I think," and the rest of the perilous ascent was made on foot, but Guinevere's temper was not improved. The Castle front: Back: ...King Arthur stuck his head out of the window... This probably represents my best rockwork, I was very happy with the overall shape. Initially I had planned to make the castle up a bit higher but didn't have enough and the pathway would have been too unbelievable! And of course the carriage... I actually spent at least a day just on that. Comments are welcome! I hope you enjoy!

It's easier the higher rank you are (count, duke, whatever), but you simply invite multiple people into a PM conversation. (Your rank determines how many people you can invite.) Be sure to send the PM as an invite, not copy.

It's probably three times what I own. Unless you put the desk on the scale too... Out of curiosity, how many of your pieces do you estimate you never use? My guess (of my pieces, of course) would be about 1/5th-1/4th. I'm not sure at all though... @SK, It sounds like it'll be a really great build! Can't wait to see it!

Yeah, those are definitely the ones to stay away from! If not you'll just keep expanding and expanding and expanding...

Nice little house! Like the little chicken area especially, though I am wondering how the chicken is going to squeeze in through that hole?

So now we know why kelp is green and sea-horses are yellow...

See, that's what I mean. You can expand forever, someday you'll pop!

Thanks Gabe! What do you guys think about the challenge? I'm not really sure which side I'd rather be assigned to, but I don't plan on using my sig-fig either way. Might not manege to build for the third category but I should make the other two.

Sign me up!

Trust me, the cold will get to you fellows eventually. Or we'll warm up and slow you down.

Thanks everyone! Not exactly, I was thinking they were just supplies. But they do look a bit like bedrolls. Yeah, I probably didn't need to do quite so many layers. And a few rectangular pieces would probably have saved me a bit... good idea! They actually aren't attached at all, just balanced there! But they're not leaving Kaliphlin!

Ageven heads back down Kaliphlin to Auner to found a city, leaving Kaflar and his followers at the ancient site of Kaligem (which for story purposes means you probably won't hear about them for a long. long time). This was a very fast MOC, I wanted to give myself some more practice with an irregular border, but I had to conclude that I really don't have enough pieces yet for any sizable vig that way... Also wanted to get some more Kaliphlin free-builds out there! C&C welcome!

Thanks all!

Excellent build Legonardo! The tudor sections especially are amazing, but the whole house/tower is great. I do agree with you about the base not seeming perfect. The rockwork is fantastic but something just seems off? Hard to put a finger on it. Fantastic work nonetheless! And you couldn't add a bit more smoke?

I think we have about as good (if not better!) a core of good builders as the other four guilds, what we don't have is the huge new member count that some others (especially Mitgardia) have. Right now we're getting swamped with all the builds Mitgardia and Nocturnus with the tribe challenge are putting out there but I'm guessing that will slow down a little, eventually. And... I got TBBed! I'm planning on using the final MOC for GoH too, if I can come up with a suitable storyline. Couldn't help bragging...

Thanks all! Thanks Kabel! I love the way the archways turned out as well! Thanks! I only wish I had been able to extend the wall a little higher... you can catch a glimmer of the crack in a couple of photos... Thanks! I took it on a really windy day so trying to balance everything was dreadful!
