Is there a list of build challenges that we are choosing from for each quarter? Or do we have a build challenge already selected for Q2?
It’s usually just comes down to someone suggesting something and a few others concurring with them. If we already have a next challenge, then the new idea gets pushed out to the next open meeting. i.e. there really isn’t any actual procedure per se. I am not sure, but I don’t think we had a challenge in place yet for Q2.
This should probably got into the Threadjacking thread but one thing we (as a LUG) have gotten away from (and I am guilty of this as well) is people bringing their builds to the quarterly meetings (beyond the Build Challenge). One of the best things about being in the LUG is seeing all of the great creations that other members are working on and have created. That only seems to happen now at events and displays, which is awesome of course. But I love seeing Lego IRL so I am going to try to start bringing a MOC of some sort to each meeting and I encourage others to do the same. 🙂
I like this idea – but I’d love to see us use discord more. I’m a solo parent of 4 and live 45+mins away from Pittsburgh. Discord lets me engage more with the other members.
@timf I like that idea of bringing whatever you’re building to meetings!
@kensc Anyone has the ability to start a challenge here or on Discord. There is a set Build and Chill channel, but all you need to do is put it out there. 😊Here is a non-exhaustive list for some of the theme months out there too: https://bricknerd.com/home/every-lego-collab-standard-themed-month-and-recurring-contest-11-26-24
I usually throw out themes that we can reuse the builds for upcoming shows. The general public loves a good Pittsburgh-themed build. With Ultimate Brick being in November, we could always do Pittsburgh Landmarks, but that may be too close to the habitats.
Since the meeting will be around summer, we could also revisit the underwater build challenge using the standard that I think ColonialLUG did. (Yes, I’m channeling Cam) Everyone had to use a 10×10 Octagonal plate (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=89523&name=Plate,%20Modified%2010%20x%2010%20Octagonal%20with%20Hole&category=%5BPlate,%20Modified%5D#T=C) as the base so they could be connected together into a big piece at the end. I know I have pictures somewhere. I’ll keep looking.
Yeah, the Build & Chill Channel is a voice channel. I’d love a category for Build Challenges with channels for Challenge Ideas, Current Challenges and Prior Challenges. (Each challenge could be entered as a thread in the Current Challenges channel and moved to the completed Challenge channel when done by the admin.)
Who has to approve new channels on the discord?
@kensc Kyle’s the Admin, you’ll want to connect with him on how to do that in a way that’s sustainable.
