6. Fantasy Creature - Make a brick-built creature of lore. Creature only - setting won't be considered in scoring.

What’s the fun in entering something you’ve already got built?

Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Possibly he just built it. I could build a 16x16 for example in one afternoon :wink: . That said, I hope to get one entry in for one of the larger categories, so that would take me quite some time!

I will start the process of approving entries tomorrow. Your entry will not show up instantly. I have to hand approve them. And sometimes I have way too much going on in my day to check them. If there is something that is not allowing me to approve your entry, I will reach out privately.
