After skipping the local Lego contest for a few years, had some time and decided to make an entry. A while back I had bought a few bulk lots of Mega Bloks for auction sites, and ended up with tons of the gray stone bricks from the PotC/Pyrates/etc.. sets. One of the categories for contest is architecture, so thought I'd try an arched stone bridge. Here are the results:
Started with the AC wagon, but it looked too big. Rebuilt it to be a bit smaller. Added my own cargo, and a dog to sit by the driver.
Got to have a troll under the bridge!
And tossed in some rats underground - the kids at the contest spotted those!
Didn't get the architecture award, but I ended up winning an honorable mention!
Overall happy with how it turned out. What I learned:
1) Need lots of brown basic bricks if I want to make 'solid' underground for underneath the terrain plates.
2) 300 of the blue 'water' pieces don't go as far as I thought they would. I think closer to 1,000 would have covered the river better.
I'll make a couple of other posts - one with pictures from the contest, and the other, my wife's entry into the contest!
