2017 Monthly Building Competition- February - Love is in the Air

thebeermonkey

Good Evening Everyone.

Hope this message tickles your fancy and finds you well.

It is my turn to curate the February monthly building competition and, this month, our theme is Love.

So, I want to see builds that come from your heart. I want to see builds representing things that you love. I want to see builds that are a window into your soul, your motivations and your desires.

Get cracking and there will be a stocking prize for the best.

Good luck.

So, will this stocking be fishnet?

So my main passion is lego but i didnt know how to represent lego with lego so i went with option 2: my desire to see Australia. Tree top walk, sydney opera house and harbour bridge, uluru and great ocean rd all represented. I have ticked off grt ocean rd but looking forward to completing the rest! :)

^ But... Your location says you live in Australia...

^I was confused at first too but I'm guessing that even if you live somewhere you might want to go walkabout to check it out?

Lol yes, these things arent as close as my backyard.......

Where did the time go? Anyway this is rougher than I had hoped for but I'm out of building time and so forth this month so here's the Suffolk Coast.




The House in the Clouds and windmill at Thorpeness, Maggie Hambling 's scallop at Aldeburgh, Orford castle and a crane from Felixstowe docks.

Unfortunately I've had no building time this month.

Any chance February has 30 days this year? If not, I am going to be rushing the last stages of my build. Whatever happens, something will be submitted!

Here is a little pink tractor. Was originally going to make it light grey, but decided pink was a better choice seeing as it's February.  Small build as I'm out of time, but congrats to those who get the reference(hint: it's the color of the tractor)!

what is this plate with indentations?

I think they're the shadows of the studs on the brick beside it; the shadow of the steering wheel would suggest the light's falling that way.

I always loved to read as a kid, but I kind of stopped in high school and didn't really read for pleasure again until the end of college. I figured with the idea of "love," I would do something book related. At first, I wanted to make a book lying open, but a lack of talent and pieces quickly forced that idea to be scrapped. Then I thought about something I have desired since I saw Beauty and the Beast when I was a child: a massive library. 

My first plan was to make this have a staircase that led to a second floor of shelves, but I quickly realized I didn't have the time or pieces to make that happen.

With my current income and just the feasibility of such a room, fulfilling this desire in full scale will never happen. But I still hold out hope for my second desire, which I worked into this room: a secret reading nook.

I like all those lights you've included and the old floorboards that have clearly been replaced over time.  very nice. 

TheOriginalSimonB

I could happily move into that library.

We'll pretend that those are weathered/replaced boards and not just tiles that make up for the fact that I apparently don't own enough reddish brown ones.

@catwrangler

Just checking I have the correct envelope

catwrangler

It would be terribly embarrassing if you accidentally read out, "Assault on Hoth!" or something... ;)

Not going to lie--I saw a bunch of new posts and clicked on this figuring a winner had been chosen. Instead, I found that maybe the judge for this month's contest had a little too much of his namesake and passed out at the keyboard.

I really like the Barbie Batmobile.
I figured Adzbadboy would be working for Lego by now... 

The wheels turn slow, bro.

thebeermonkey

I've woken up and made my choice.

And the winner is ... @BillyBricks84

Well done.

Expect a DM in your inbox.

Yay!

BillyBricks84

^Woohoo! 

TheLegoMaster35

Btw, who is doing the march contest?

Salamalex

There's a list somewhere in this category. I'm hoping to have some time to build this month.
