The latest DixieLUG meeting was just this past Saturday and it was a blast! Our numbers were down from the previous meetings, but that didn't stop us from having some fun. The gang brought tons of new builds this month and plenty of variety: [gallery type="rectangular" size="large" link="file" ids="4814,4860,4855,4854,4804,4853,4851,4848,4846,4843,4842,4823,4822,4827,4825,4824,4812,4821,4819,4818,4816,4815,4810,4809,4806,4803"] This was my favorite MOC this meeting:   LEGO sent our ambassador a box full of mismatched bags from random LEGO sets for us to use for LUG activities. There were quite a few interesting pieces, such as Angry Unikitty faces and random minifigures. If you're wondering what that looks like opened and spread out on tables, here ya go:   This month, we used them for a 30 minute building contest. In that time, we had to build the best MOC we could. Here are a few of the awesome builds that resulted: [gallery type="rectangular" size="large" link="file" ids="4802,4875,4808,4857,4839,4836,4830,4828,4838,4874,4834,4889,4890,4891"]   I went with a microscale build... you know how much I love microscale. Here's my lighthouse, rocky shore and boats:   The hubs went with the mis-match of colors and built what he called "Unikitty's Revenge":   This month, it was a close call as to who was the winner of our contest. We all voted once and two of the MOCS received 3 puppies each. We voted a second time, just on those MOCs and both of them received 9 puppies.   (Yes, we voted with puppies this time... and got to take a few of them home! Woohoo! Kennel anyone?) Fortunately, we had one member who was silently sitting in the back making a new MOC who had failed to vote originally. His vote was the tie breaker... And the winner, by 10 puppies (we voted with puppies this meeting), was this microscale, self-sustaining island build:   All in all, it was a great meeting. We’d love to see you there.
