Umbrella Scene - Another

Hi everyone,

I unfortunately missed the first week.

I built a very disturbing scene from an anime called Another. In the scene a girl is running down the stairs while holding an umbrella. She slips and she and the umbrella land in an unfortunate position to say it lightly. Looking forward to the rest of the contest, good luck everyone!

This is a short video of the scene, the thumbnail warns enough

Yesss, we have finally reached our Destination of the RogueOlympics. Week 8 is over, I have had a lot of fun!! Thanks everyone!!

Hi for the last time,

I want to thank everyone for the great challenges and builds I have seen the last couple of weeks!!! But now my creativity is drained... I am going to have to recharge before going on another adventure.

For this week, with theme "Icons" I made a location Icon.

I used a total of 33 pieces.

Alright, see you guys in the next challenge!!!

I had an encounter with a wild Pokémon!?

Hello everyone,

Encounter was difficult, I had to use my friends creativenes to come up with this one. Here we encounter a pokémon while playing pokemon red or blue. It is Abra! Don't let it use teleport!!

This is the first time I editted my picture with something. I am looking forward to trying more creative things with my pictures!! In total I used 44 pieces:

I used quite interesting parts in this build, like the HOTDOG for the correct angle of the ears! The eyes are a bit weird in the build bit I think it still looks fine. Now onto the last week of the competition!!

Come on barbie lets go party!

It's time to disco!!!

Hey everyone! This week was difficult again, wild is very broad and can be interpreted in a lot of different ways! My build shows a wild party where the minifigures are enjoying their free time and are dancing on the disco floor.

I wanted to include a disco ball and I am really happy with the parts usage for that one. It is the wizards globe piece!

In total I used 65 pieces. And now I will be partying on to next week lets gooooo!

You guys are dropping these builds like Dominos!!!

Hi again,

It took me some time to think of something to do with "chains" but in the end I came up with the chain reaction as my main idea. When thinking of a chain reaction I immediatly thought of dominos!

A man in Chains causing a chain reaction by Mels  Hillemans, on Flickr

I used a total of 65 pieces in this build. Lets have a moment of silence for the 2 brown pieces that couldnt make it............

I added the minifigure in the end because I thought it would be a funny addition to add a man in chains to let the dominos fall and cause the chain reaction.

Round 4: Garden In space

Hi everyone,

After 2 quite difficult themes, garden was more easily presented in Lego, I can also see that when looking at all the great builds everyone has already made. For me the problem with "garden" as a theme is that I do not have a lot of plant or vegetation pieces. Luckilly everyone can only use 101 pieces, but it did decrease the amount of options a little. I had a hard time making the glass space dome and made the build quite difficult for myself, the spherical shape with only skeletal pieces was quite difficult.

I tried to use the orangy brown to indicate that the greenhouse is on planet Mars. I used the total amount of 101 pieces exaclty. When I first built it, I was over it by 9 pieces which was anoying and made me reduce the amount of sand around the dome. This was not an improvement but it was fine and I am happy with my build.

Thanks everyone for the competition and fun building experiences. We are halfway, Good luck!!

You know what I just thought of, it would have been really funny AND A HIGH RISK if someone just posted a build with ZERO pieces! I would have voted on that for sure!! That is definitely a great risk build!!! HAHAHA

I was considering taking THE risk, but anyways, this is my build for this week: High risk High reward

Hi all,

I think everyone found this weeks theme quite difficult. In the end I chose to use the frase: "High risk high reward". I took it litterally and built a reward high up on a mountain. You will only be willing to take a high risk if it could result in a high reward.

I used a total of 99 pieces, I had to remove some pieces after the first itteration, since I had 110 for the first try.

good luck next week everyone!!

My second build! What do you guys think about the simplification and the increase in abstract Logos?

The good Ol' FireFox

Dag Allemaal!

Ik had niet echt inspiratie voor het thema van deze week, maar aan het eind van de week en tegen de deadline aan ben ik net begonnen. Ik wilde een logo maken, maar dat vond ik een beetje saai, dus koos ik gewoon voor een moeilijker logo.

Ik ben erg blij met het resultaat, ik had niet verwacht dat het er zo goed uit zou zien voor het logo. De inspiratie kwam van het oude logo, niet van het nieuwe. De nieuwe vind ik eerlijk gezegd niet zo mooi . Hoe zit het met jullie, wat vinden jullie van het vereenvoudigen van alle logo's en abstract gaan?

In totaal heb ik 75 stuks gebruikt, als ik goed geteld heb. Nu al zin in het thema van volgende week!!!

Very excited for the contest, good luck everyone. Have you guys seen the movie Treasure Planet?

Solar Surfboard

Hi everyone!

This is my second Lego contest after I participated in the Iron forge in the beginning of this year. I did not come very far in that contest but I like having a challenge while building and making something with certain difficulties. I am looking forward to the different themes and also looking at what others will come up with. Good luck to everyone participating in the RogueOlympics 2023!!

Treasure planet solarsurf (RogueBricks: "Above the clouds") by Mels  Hillemans, on Flickr

The build is inspired by the movie "Treasure Planet". I loved this movie growing up and watched it multiple times. The build is a so called "Solar surfboard". The movie started with this really cool scene where Jim (the protagonist) rides his self made solar surfboard through various obsticals. I remember this being a very cool start to the movie with great high speed action. For this build I used a total of 79 pieces. I was very happy that I could reuse some stickered pieces. I tried making the solar panel look on the sail, but could not really get it to look right.
