Pythonscape

Update Iain asked me to take the orignial image down. I guess I jumped the gun on this one as he wants the models to be a surprise. If you want to see the models check them out at BrickCon.

Iain Heath is at it again. He’s working on a series of Monty Python inspired Miniland scale models. It is all part of Pythonscape at the upcoming BrickCon Convention, which is only a month away for any of you who are planing on going and have yet to register. 😉

I will certainly be there and if I get a chance (time allowing) I’ll be participating in Pythonscape as well. If you want to be part of Pythonscape check out the Flickr group for details.

LEGO Design Challenge 2011

Who doesn’t want to design for LEGO? Well, here’s your chance. LEGO has a new contest to create a LEGO “Postage Stamp” for the Late Holiday Catalog!

LEGO is asking consumers ages 6 + to design a LEGO themed postage stamp to be featured in the Late Holiday Catalogue .

For each country there will be 50 finalists selected to receive a copy of 10222. 25 will be for ages 6-14 and 25 will be from ages 15 & up. From the 50 finalists, 1 grand prize winner will be selected per country. In addition to a copy of 10222 – Winter Village Post Office, grand prize winners will have their stamp design featured on the late holiday catalog for their country along with a professionally designed and framed LEGO mosaic of their design.

Where: The US/UK/Germany. These are the only countries that mail a late holiday catalogue

When: We will be accepting entries for the contest September 1-30 and selecting the finalists & winners for each country the first week of October.

How: Consumers must simply visit shop.LEGO.com/Design-Challenge (Germany: shop.LEGO.com/Designwettbewerb) to download the official entry form. They or their parent/guardian must complete the form and email it along with their stamp design to the email address designated for their country. No purchase is required and there will be no physical entries collected.

This sounds like a great opportunity to flex your creative muscles! Good luck. 😉
