Next theme is.. tadadadaa.. Wall!Yeah, you red right, the theme is wall. You see, I want you to build a wall of any theme. But don't bore me with just plain wall, I wanna see some action there too! Here are thing I am looking for: - 20 studs long segment of wall, height doesn't matter.
- Can be any theme, like medieval wall, space wall (both space ship interior and exterior), segment of town market.
- Only actual requirement is that the wall is mostly hole-less and atleast one part of it is as long as the platform (20 studs long)
If you have something to ask, ask here.

Oooh so many possibilities...
Great theme!
Now, shall I go with (old) grey goodness, or something else?

TPJ, I believe you didn't notice the catch. You see, the wall alone is pretty bad idea (basic wall made of 2 x 2's and 2 x 4's doesn't win this contest, I am sure of it.) but what if you use the wall as a background?
And "wall" doesn't mean totally solid wall of brick. It could be formed from small town houses, offices next to each others. Basically I want to see that you can thing "out of the brick" and bring some nice suprises on the "scene".
If you want to ask if you understood the subject correctly or ask more specific questions, PM me.

My wall is finished (Actually, I began it when it was annunced and finished it the next night). However, I'm having trouble getting time to take pics. I've been really sick lately and just recently started getting better today.

Actually James, they have two more days. Two week equal 14 days right? This MotB started at March 8th, so it ends at March 22th.

No, the idea was (at least my idea) that it would always end on Monday. Just because this one was started late does not mean it should be ended late.

This could be thught of as a prequel MOC to my Rebel Outbreak in City 40. I described that outbreak as a result of lack of strict security at the border. Border Patrol Station 39 was tipped off by shady sources that there would be a small squad of Desert Rats planning to cross the border into City 40. They dismissed it as not being credible and later denied that they had gotten any warning at all. Five Neotregon Rebellion soldiers, reffered to as "Desert Rats" by Zalmoxis Directorate soldiers, passed border security. This diorama depicts how two of those soldiers, a man who later fought in the City Plaza, and a woman who served as a spy, got across Border Patrol Station 39 without being killed. They had been hiding right in front of the base waiting for the right time to strike. The woman is seen using a radar-jamming device, which she had to use once every hour to keep them off the radar. They later called in a small scout ship to distract the guards, allowing them to safely cross into City 40. GalleryDeeplink

I don't know if Johnnie is actually making the contest entry, but since James is so eager to have this contest on the schedule, I will now announce winner of this biweek:
CrustaceanFreak
I thought that this theme was rather easy and pretty "open-ended" but it seems I was wrong. But I hope C-Freak makes better choice of next theme.

I was planning to, but I never got around to it. What with the Great Sort part II going on for me, and other stuff I never even really thought about it seriously.
Congrats, Alex. Awesome wall. The grey 4l bar with the technic half bushings is a great detail. Possibly many semi-functional uses, as well...
