I just made a bonsai for fun a few days ago, so I'll try to photograph it and enter.

Ever since watching Demon Slayer I've wondered how to build a wisteria. This looks really well done.

I had a great time creating mine and it's wonderful to see so many beautiful entries from so many builders.

The submissions are quite striking; the judging will be difficult. People are going all out for those goats!

My favourite ones are those created in just two steps: 1) build the set 10281 2) replace the foliage with something extra. These ideas are a great incentive for me to buy this set.

I totally agree! That was exactly my plan by buying the set :) Now I just spammed the competition with my nine entries ;) I really need some goats!

Oh wow, that Classic Space one with the orange CS figs...

@Father_Nathan --yeah, now I want to see someone do one with Alien Conquest brain suckers! I'd do it myself, but we're not opening ours until March since it's (shhhh) for my wife's birthday.

17 entries to be precise. This was so much fun! :)

I only have instagram..so can't comment on other mediums. There are some impressive & multiple entries there.

@shodan:
That's not how it works. Only Instagram makes you log in to view everything. Flickr and Blockheads will let you view every entry without registering.

Hello there. Haha okay, I don't think you understand what I meant.. but maybe it's due to my poor English.

Just saying that there are some awesome bonsai creations on Instagram (my main social account).

Mine is in finally! I love building, but photography and photo editing can be a lengthy rigmarole.
