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

[DarthPineapple]

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.

[1 Million Watts of Power]

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?

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

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

[cloneofthe501st]

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

[Clonecommando007]

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

Hi guys, I just wanted to know what a vignette is.

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

[Clonecommando007]

Hi guys, I just wanted to know what a vignette is.

Mhankewycz

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.

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!

[ErladrinPalidin]

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

thanx for the help

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. –R

[Gerrard]

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.

[TheMissingPiece]

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

[RubbahBand]

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.

[Thunder-blade]

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

[Felix42]

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.

[Alpha]

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.

How do you change your username?
