I've been looking but haven't seen anything better!

The 4 Spacemen is okay, but somehow last year's present seemed nicer. It would help if any of us knew a little more about Lawrence's personal tastes!
He deserves it for all the hard work he's done in the last year .
Donate via paypal to [email protected] mark admin xmas in notes.

While the tangibles are nice, would a LEGO gift card be appropriate? Or are you trying to be a bit more personal?

We would also need a Master Builder to create a LDraw prototype.

Perhaps the same artist could do something similar again?
We have collected a grand total of £ 111.00 to spend on the Admins xmas present .
What shall we get ?
For the next week post your ideas ( with links ) in this thread .
Then we can vote for the most suitable present .

It has a Lego section.
Not sure what Admin is into?

I'm a little wary of not seeing price tags anywhere though...
The 4 spacemen painting is still another good option.

Price really depends on size but the originals start from £75 for one figure ..oil on canvas paper. (Unframed). Approx size 16in x 20in.. Price goes up for more figures and bigger size.
Did you have a particular idea in mind?
I think the price seems fine then. Do we want to commission something, assuming there's enough time, or do we enquire about the price of an existing painting?
We could run a poll among ourselves, make a list of choices and vote? If we want to comission something, we'll have to proceed quickly to be ready for Christmas.
I agree and we already gave a minifig painting last year so maybe something different.
I would suggest a painting of an owl. Maybe this one:
http://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-owl-with-decoration-angular-features-92731
but lighter to be closer in color to the Brick Owl item color.
I couldn't find a high resolution photo of that owl, even less a photo in the proper angle... but we'll need one for the artist. I suggest a viewpoint below the torso's height, looking up to give an impression of might and grandness?
I have the photography equipment but not the owl. Do we have any volunteer to take proper photos? We need a sharp image, close-up, very small aperture, an interesting raised angle... I could just acquire the owl, if people like the idea.
Should we now have some kind of vote? Do we have other good ideas to put in that poll?
Except for myself )

Most sellers will sell each one separate in various sizes and some sell them framed.
