Good progress on the train shed – need to figure out the roof next.

My bootleg engine shed is coming along well, I am just wondering about the track matching up with LUG track. The base is MILS height (brick + plate) and the the track is on top of two more dark bluish gray plates. Is that the correct height?

My advice: get in line at least an hour early; and whatever you do, do not wait for your non-LEGO significant other to get ready, otherwise you will watch someone else walk out with the bricks you wanted and you will have to spend most of the day renting a U-haul and moving a bedroom set

I proposed meeting with John this afternoon, but right now he is at a conference for school administrators in Hershey, PA. However this indicates that he does have training with groups (how could you demo the activities otherwise?)
John offered March 19th or March 22nd to me. I assumed I would act as liaison to the LUG, but I don’t have an…[Read more]

The very next message I received was from John Balash, jbalash@andrew.cmu.edu
“Hi Greg, Always a pleasure to connect w/ another AFOL. Would be thrilled to have a chance to touch base and explore synergies. Please let me know when you might have some availability in the next week or so. Thank you for the connection, Mimi!
Best regards,

In August I overheard someone saying “we got the grant from LEGO.” To shorten the story, from what I understand, Miriam Wertheimer at CMU is piloting a national program which is now ready to launch. Here is the eamil I received today:

It’s supposed to be a social club – it would be nice for everyone to be able to put faces and names together when there is a public event or a LUG meeting.

I can see some drawbacks to this proposal, but I am going to make it anyway. Could we create a LUG directory with people’s real names and faces instead of enigmatic monikers and avatars? It could be voluntary, so people could upload as much as they were comfortable sharing or not at all.

I slightly disassembled and reassembled the base of the Eiffel tower to make it presentable from all sides.

using clear plastic containers to store LEGO has worked well for me over the years, there are a variety of sizes ranging from a few ounces to over a gallon, the larger ones have openings into which my hand can fit, a pretty useful feature
I have a surplus of these containers, so I am offering them to anyone in the LUG who is interested, let…[Read more]

Ok, so the cooling tower is not something that you are trying to complete for the Home and Garden show?
Btw, do you know what scale it is? Was it intended to be minifig scale? Did the original designer even have an intended scale in mind?

I would create a cylindrical base that is about the height of those yellow stanchions (5 bricks) to fit inside. I would then add a cone of appropriate height and diameter to hold the sloping sides. The top of the cone would not be a point, it would be a wide flat are to support the top cylinder.
I am not convinced that glue will work, I think…[Read more]

@nancy if you like this idea, I could start working on the solution once you provide the necessary dimensions

Greg Schubert replied to the topic First-Time Builder, So Many Questions in the forum All Things LEGO! 3 weeks, 5 days ago
This can be fixed and you can use the pieces you already have – I think I have an easy solution that’s already started in my basement. It’s a brick-built cone that the sides can rest on.
Unfortunately I am quaranting in my room for the next day or so, but after that I can meet with you to solve the problem. 🙂

Nancy, I think you recently showed the cooling towere design and it looked precarious. Did you spend hundreds on the cooling tower itself? I guess that you want to use the parts you have, otherwise I would suggest making a tower like this one I saw at Brickfest 2005 in Alexandria, VA.

A trans-purple rover with space plants … seems like LEGO has Ben and Tom collaborating behind the scenes. I read that the original name for this set was “Good & Frosty” but they’re now saving that name for a different set.
