Last week I presented my review of the Series 19 Minifigures. There are some great figures in this set, as well as some interesting accessories.

Now, I was sent a complete box of figures, but only really want one of the 3 complete sets in the box, so as with the Disney figures earlier in the year, I would like to run a competition, similar to the last.

Yes, build a minifigure habitat for one of the series 19 minifigures. This is an 8×8 plate, with one side and one back wall, designed to stack with others. You can have a little overhang over the open edges, but not extend more than 8 bricks above the plate at the base.

The Challenge: 

• Build a habitat on an 8×8 plate for at least one Series 19 minifigure to go into. 
• Design a ‘minifigure habitat,’ to suit one of the Series 19 Minifigures, on an 8×8 plate base, up to 8 bricks tall. The habitat has 2 adjacent walls ‘bricked in’ with the brick’s color and texture being the choice of the builder. These habitats are designed to interlink. Elements may protrude beyond the borders of the cube, but should not do so excessively. Follow the template below, and feel free to ask questions if you are uncertain.
• You must use placeholder figures to convey the place where you wish to place the figure(s). State which Figure(s) belong in the Habitat
• Digital entries are allowed.

What’s a minifigure habitat?

essentially, it is a stacking format, in which you build a vignette to suit one (or more) of the minifigures from season 19. Here is a general concept, demonstrated by Handoko Setyawan:

We have so many great figures to choose from, who might be active in different environments. To get you started, here are some examples from our Disney Habitat contest, run earlier in the year…these were the prize winning entries from Aiden, Catrin and Tim.

The goal is to tell your story in a single habitat. If you can join 2 together in a meaningful way, that is acceptable.

ENTRIES CLOSE on the 6th of October 2019, at 2400 UTC, so get building. I look forward to seeing what you put together! We had some great entries last time: I’m sure we can get some more this time round.

Feel free to share your entries, as well as news of this contest online. Use the tag #ramblinghabitats19. And until next time,

Play Well!
