    I’m open to suggestions. going forward, anytime anyone has a challenge they’d like to judge or suggest, just post a thread and we’ll make it so!

    I’m thinking GARC will be our Q3 challenge.

    I’m gonna suggest a build challenge that involves using as many of this piece in red as possible, as creatively as possible:

    If only we knew somebody who has a whole case of them, and is so free with them that he literally tosses handfuls of them into the air in celebration.

    I look at spaceships and I feel like Hamm in this exchange:

    Mr. Potato Head: Hey, Hamm. Look, I’m Picasso!
    Hamm: I don’t get it.
    Mr. Potato Head: You uncultured swine!

    Are there any rules for the racing spaceships?

    There’s a list of requirements for this style of ship on that Flickr page:
    -Must have 2 crew members per ship (pilot & navigator)
    -No weapons
    -Must look FAST 🙂
    -The crazier the colour scheme the better

    I already have a general idea of what mine will look like

    sounds like we have our first volunteer to judge!

    Are you running a ‘purist’ competition here? The reason I ask: GARC is based on heavily on the idea of NASCAR in space, and so sponsor advertisements on vehicles are a big part of it. I’m going thru the GARC group on flickr, all the builds I consider to be the GARCiest use a lot of stickers on the vehicles for ads, almost always in ways that the stickers were not intended in their original sets. But I’m also seeing a lot of custom stickers printed for a lot of the builds. Gonna allow that for the competition?

    okay

    no

    yes, but this example photo just blows my mind; I mean, that is made of LEGO parts? really?

    Well, I didn’t bring a camera to the meeting so I didn’t get photos of all the builds but you can view my entry here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126930055@N04/20846297875/in/dateposted-public/

    I didn’t get photos of the builds either

    Well, *I* did…

    …and I added them to our Flickr group and approved the other submissions.

    You’re welcome.

    [Okay, technically I didn’t get a pic of Aaron’s rockin’ GARC but that’s just because he packed it up so early…]

    Cheers Matt!

    I just assumed after Greg’s judging everyone had gotten to see the builds as much as they wanted too. 😉
