I edit the picture to avoid printing decals. In the example above I switched to torso color from dk blue to black and brown, and the white tree on the shield is added digitally.

32. Yes. There are numerous examples of these types of pieces used in idea books, legoland models, catalogs, etc by TLG in the 1980s and 1990s.

33. Then the answer to that is no. According to the rules:
Each submission is limited to five photographs except custom figures which are limited to three photographs. Each photograph should be no larger than 1600 x 1280 pixels in a portrait or landscape orientation. You may edit your images digitally, but only to clean up the images for presentation.
Your images can only be edited to clean up the image, not change the actual build or pieces for it, or in this case, minifigs.

Is Asterix and Obelix acceptable? 50BC, roman empire, but the gauls are basicly the same as they are a few centuries later right? :wink:

For the "Castle Building" category, could it be more than one, like a city street lined with building?

I feel like it is just me, but I cannot view any of the entries. Is it because nobody has officially submitted, or am I just being dumb and overlooking something? :P

Thanks in advance guys.

Same here, when I click on the "view entries" thing, it just shows "0 entries" next to every category name. Glad to here I'm not the only one.

I know the "please be patient" comment may be met with some unhappiness, but life circumstances have several of us very busy at the moment. All entries must be approved before they begin to show up. This takes time. There is nothing wrong. We are not being lazy. For example, I have been deeply buried in a building project for the last month that has to be done on the 17th and I am still not done building.

Thank you for your understanding and patience with us.

No problem. Now is it ok to have multiple buildings in the "Castle Building" category?

What I meant was, can I have multiple buildings in one entry, like a city street?

Ok. Phew. I just had thought that maybe one of my extensions might have been blocking the page from updating properly. Thanks :)
