Nice modification there. It's always good to strive and the colourful armour is like the tabards of the knight's colours (See here for those who might not know. These guys tour the local castles here and whack each other with blunted weapons, also at least a few of them were well yummy ). The would certainly fit in a Kingdoms Tournement or at the local Tilt Field. However there are a few steps I would have done myself a little differently: Kept a few of the visors on lite bley or pearl silver helmets, the ones you used look nice but some of the uniqueness has been lost, the coloured feathers do look nice on the more soldiery characters. Also, maybe swapped the hips from dark bley to a colour that matched the armour parts (maybe)or broken it up with printed armour legs. Good figures also need careful face choices, even if it is simply one of the many generic stubbly/manly ones. Keep on striving to improve. Lets see these knights at a suitable location!

That is fab! It looks like a little tabletop roleplay figure

No, I am not a football fan that much. Unseen Academicals was about football a lot. I am re-reading it so I can be up to date ready for Snuff, I love the Watch books. I will be re-reading them from Guards! Guards! onwards now that I have finished Unseen Academicals (might just skim Fifth Elephant though...)

What a clever metaphore there Ralph_S! I too see bricks as my medium. I buy a lot of the smaller sets and the PaB for my supplies and off I go, hoping to capture some subject, from a book, a film, the TV, from a real life chance sighting or some image in my head created through great application to all of the above, in brick. I also paint water colours of landscapes (nothing special but they make nice gifts for tha family)I would never dream of collecting paint. Oh sure, I stockpile my favourite brand and I always have many more brushes than I need but I always intend to open them when I need to. The collection of MISB sets seems like an investment more than appreciation of art (Like keeping a painting in a box or under sheets) Collecting built sets is more similar to having paintings and prints on the wall. An appreciation of the artwork more than creating ones own. I could never keep sets sealed or just built. I am relentlessly driven to creativity, mainly to stop my ideas overflowing (I get into a funk and feel pretty down if I can't pin down an idea in the best form because of circumstances or situation at the time. Yes, I am mad) I write, doodle, draw and build. I share these things purely because I loved building them and I want to let others see. Now, please lets keeps this nice an cerebral.

That is awesome, thanks for that. Thes Humvee in this set looks great, not really a fan of tanks, so I can't comment on that one. The new faces ane weapons look really good too. Thanks for the review crossmr

You've always got to make the right figure for the job! Minifigs are a the icing of the MOC cake

It is this one. Certainly not my favourite kind, but it looked good on this build.

Nex is a vicious long range fighter plane from the Empire of the Lion. The “seven-league” class planes are new development for the planned conquest of the Free State Islands. Unlike the mostly lumbering drones, this plane has a human pilot. The red and black colour scheme was her own idea. Major Agatha Myriad-Brant is one of the top aces of the SPQR (The classified Air Force service section known only for those four letters). Leader of the Shark Squadron. Her mission logos proudly displayed beneath the cockpit. So I finally got to build another plane. Having made quite a collection of books about aircraft I was just itching to go and build something.

Oh oh! I have a quest! I shall get to work doing all the little bits one needs to build first and then I have to learn the mechanics and get hold of a heroica dice yes?

"Urgh, poison is not good! I will target dog B from the front row as you others may be able to finish his fellow off!" Tesni tried her best to ignore the poison, so she could attack the beast.

Really, this should all be in the contest discussion, but if you can build a good quality underwater conversion of a set then go ahead. This means a little more than sticking flippers to the Police Motorcycle (as a warning to others) but you have to be able to tell what it used to be.

Unseen Academicals, again. This is only my second reading as the subject isn't a favourite of mine, but I do need to keep up with the comings and goings within the city, ready for the release of Snuff next month.

Legostein will post his pictures in the entry thread once he is happy with the MOC, this is merely a thread for commenting on the MOC. After all, you make effort on building, you do want a little feedback. The entry thread is for entries only and discussion is prohibited. Some entrants may wish to post a seperate thread for their MOC after the contest, others want to during the contest. Either way, I will post a reminder here prior to the end of the contest for Legostein to post his finalised entry pictures in the aforementioned thread, assuming he does not do so of himself.

Fixed, seems it is a good job none of these will be permenant avatars seeing as a few break the 100x100 guidelines of the site by a significant amount...

Hey Justin, just a quick heads up, there is a little issue with your use of punctuation and some missing capitals. It is turns in to it's ' not , Apostraphe, not comma. I and any acronyms must also be capitalised, thanks. Just to let you know. Mint SW sets really are in an investment. I mostly buy the battlepacks and the polybags for cheaper figures I can sell on at a good price if needs must, I just can't leave them sealed up!

Tesni eyed the dogs, their strength was a little under twice her own. While the ranger Alexis could wipe off half their health in one hit, she was targeting a different hound to the less experienced team mates. "I shall target guard hound A from the front row!" Tesni called to her teammates, grasping Cryf. "Finally somthing I can really hit!"

Well, seeing as so far there have only been two entries and this is an underwater version in the strictest of interpretations...

I buy to MOC, very few sets are 100% what I want in a model so I rarely purchase them for any other reason. (The Agents Comman Centre, the Speed Racer Cars and MMV being the exceptions). MISB collectors seem to defeat the purpose of LEGO, I understand that some people are investing, not collecting but it seems an odd thing to do with such a toy. Unless you are a Toy Museum and they are for display.

"I seem to recall she healed you ranger." Tesni said to Alexis. While the quest was still young, Tesni was still concerned that communication wasn't going so well.

Tesni took the venom and placed it in her bag. "Maybe it will help in future combat." She said, swiping some cave dust from her scrapes. "What do we do now? Check what the animal noise was?"

"I do not like the undead" Tesni growled, kicking the pile of bones that the defeated monster had become. She had heard that a diamond could make a sword hurt the undead and considered seeking out her own.

You can if you want to. After all it will portray the set underwater.

"Fine, I shall attack that spider then!" Tesni shouted, glaring at the creature.
