Participants will be able to make small or large contributions as their collections, time and enthusiasm permit. Anything that is appropriate to the chosen setting and meets the guidelines will be eligible to participate. In order to allow for the maximum participation and creativity while still making possible the coordination necessary to make a coherent display Operation Bircklord will use a familiar modular building standard as a baseline with the modifications necessary. All MOC buildings (houses, businesses, government) for the display must be built to the standard which includes connection points for buildings and establishes scale. You can build vehicles or troops to populate the scene which may require less "brick" and time but certainly no less creativity. Choose a "side", take a look at the Quartermaster Stores and start building. Approval, etcetera.The spirit of a collaborative display such as this is first and foremost to give everyone who is part of it equal artistic freedom and weight in the overall outcome of the display. As such, we want everyone to have fun and encourage them to build something they enjoy, above all else! We simply ask that contributions to the main display (OpB: Europe at War) be correct to the setting and modularity/construction standards. Another thing we strive for is allowing people to showcase Military-themed MOCs that don't necessarily fit into the display. For example, if you have an Omaha Beach diorama, or a Vietnam-era Huey helicopter, or a modern fighter jet, we want to give you a chance to show them off! As such, just as we did last year, we will have extra tables where your non-OpB: Europe at War MOCs can be front-and-center. We want this to feel inclusive, not exclusive! |
