I noticed in the video that the guy had his sculpture mounted on a metal rod so he could rotate it. That’s another level of complication.

Just looking at the cube, that could probably be built without needing software, but it would have to be hollow all the way through and I assume the words would have to be backwards on…Read more

RenLUG (“renaissance” LEGO builders from Florida) put a lot of work into tweaking the standard while giving SteelCity full credit for the initial idea.

Anyway this looks like a really cool entry for a graveyard and I would be happy to build one for the cemetery if someone can think of a clever name. I’d be inclined to call it Heartlake Memorial Gardens after the names of 70+ LEGO Friends sets.

You cannot travel each of the routes for a week to assess the traffic situation, but you could have Google maps provide an ETA from location to location at the times you would be in transit.

So to clarify, each build challenge entry will be a single gravesite that conforms to the previously stated dimensions,

rather than each entry being an entire graveyard. And there is no need to MILS or whatever, each build will simply rest atop a gravesite. Is that correct?
