Considering that the Q4 meeting has not yet happened, it might be early to start talking about the next build challenge after that, but I would to throw this out as an idea so people have more time to think about it.
The challenge is to make a Kleenex box holder. I found that a standard sized tissue box holder fits inside a square made from a 16×16 baseplate. Recently I have built two examples in the attached photos.
The rules would be that you are limited to regular LEGO parts and one tissue box, of any size, containing tissue. The tissues and box can be, but do not necessarily have to be, an interesting component of the build.
A build that doubles as home décor- excellent! I second, or vote, or whatever is the official LUG procedure…
It was in the January newsletter, so it must be official. I will be happy to judge the entries.
Below is the first one I made in 2003; its okay, but I am looking forward to our creative LUG members incorporating the box / tissues as part of the build.
Hi – I’m new to the Steel City Lug. Kleenex boxes are some of my favorite to build. Here are a few I’ve done! I’d love to know all of your thoughts.
I was trying to integrate the tissue itself as part of the build. The idea came up to make it into smoke coming out of the top of a volcano.

That’s exactly what I was looking for!
I hope this is the right place to put this. I just finished it. I went a little old school. This is more or less the extent of what kids like me could build when we were little, back in the mid-20th century. I doubt we had fancy roof tiles, I can’t remember.

I decree that from henceforth, this style shall be known as Vintage LEGO. 🙂
Here are the build challenge entries from the meeting (Sorry it took me so long to post.) Please let me know if I incorrectly attributed any builds.
