Was the whole point of this new thread to clean the new members area?

Re: New Member Questions Topic · DarthPineapple on Mon Nov 16, 2009 11:13 am

Yes. Members can now make a new topic for themselves, to say hi, introduce themselves, and ask any questions they might have in this topic.

Re: New Member Questions Topic · 1 Million Watts Of Power on Tue Nov 17, 2009 5:51 pm

Wait DP, so does that mean we can ( even though I'm technicly not a new member ( though I am still a member)) post topics showing MOCs or comics or stuff like that? :scratch:

EDIT: Nevermind. I just re-read the new rules and honestly I'm kinda bummed. Waaa!

Yeah... just a little.

I am a non-member and I need something answered. First, I have to say this: My home's main computer is broken and that is the only way to put pictures up. Now to the question: If I build the same moc on LDD, (Lego Digital Designer), that I actually made, can I send a picture of it in to become a member? Pilot

Actually yes you can do that but you must have three of them in your PM to an Administrator. Wink

Re: New Member Questions Topic · cloneofthe501st on Thu Nov 19, 2009 6:26 pm

Thanks, Rubbahband. I have some good mocs in my models file too. One of them is a Naboo area close to the palace! Marine

Re: New Member Questions Topic · Clonecommando007 on Thu Nov 19, 2009 7:45 pm

Actually the models must be in real bricks, not LDD, for an application. Sorry.

A vignette is a 8x8 diorama. I hope that helps.

A vignette is a small scene. It is usually square and to be more specific a scene on an 8x8 plate is considered a vignette. A 12x12 scene is often called a midnette, and a 16x16 or larger square scene is often called a bignette. Smile

I need help on water slide decal application. I read Wazzupbob's guide and did everything, but when ever I put the decals on the arms and put the arms on the body the paint comes off. Then when I spray it with an acrylic spray it comes off! I am using an acrylic sealant and my printer is an ink jet. I need a Master's help! Waaa!

so · ErladrinPalidin on Tue Nov 24, 2009 5:24 pm

so the pictures have to be real lego figures and there has to be three of them?

thanx for the help All Hail!

Yeah that was 6 minutes after you said you would read the rules. Maybe you should have read them before posting again like I said the first time. Wink

Re: New Member Questions Topic · Gerrard on Tue Nov 24, 2009 5:45 pm

First of all, improve your spelling, grammar, and read the constitution again.

And yes, there must be three MOC's with real lego and lego figures in them.

Re: New Member Questions Topic · TheMissingPiece on Wed Nov 25, 2009 8:16 pm

I'm going to start working on my Guild application soon. Must your application have all purist figs?

Actually I wouldn't recommend figs themselves if that's what your going to do.
I don't think they have to be all purist exactly though.

Re: New Member Questions Topic · Thunder-blade on Wed Nov 25, 2009 9:28 pm

It doesn't matter if they're purist or not. But we prefer MOCs over minifigs.

Re: New Member Questions Topic · Felix42 on Wed Nov 25, 2009 10:05 pm

If I make my three MOCs, can I send them to another Guild member (like an Admin) to know what they think of them before sending them for my ap? Sorry if this question has already been answered.

Re: New Member Questions Topic · Alpha on Wed Nov 25, 2009 10:06 pm

No, you can simply post them in an topic here. Just say you've been here for a while, then include a gallery link. Otherwise, you can.
