Greg Schubert replied to the topic what the heck is Greg doing? in the forum All Things LEGO! 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback!
@randomdan the color that I selected for the lights in studio is “luminous yellow” … it allows parts to be a light source … apparently if you want this feature to standout, you can also reduce the ambient light
@twrt0es a studio version is not required, but it seems most are virtual renderings; the caveat…[Read more]

OK, thank you @randomdan. I’m keeping both days open for now and can likely do both if there is enough interest in both days. Hoping some more North side residents chime in here. 🙂

You’re pretty close, that is going to be my next project, using roughly the same color scheme. I’m finishing a North Pole version of Phipps, with similarities to the Friends Botanical Conservatory. I mostly have to wait for clear dome pieces to arrive, but adding plants would also be a good idea. 🙂
Also @randomdan, I thought of you when I saw…[Read more]

@joshhallh, there are 3 C batteries that go in the train car right behind the engine (see photo)
the crossing gate mechanism requires 6 AA batteries that add up to 9V, but there is no power adapter to keep the brick going … although @randomdan did suggest soldering some wires from a 9V adapter to the contacts of an RCX

@randomdan I checked and I did not see it. I will bring a copy of the issue to International Lego Day.

Thanks @tfdesigns for the kind words and @rcgrier3406 for the pic! Kudos to all of the ugly sweaters too. I hope everyone enjoyed the festivities. It was great just to hang out and chat afterwards. I didn’t depart until close to 4!

@randomdan I now have my neighbor’s graduation party at the same time and while I would like to bring home some goodies, I need to go to the party. You’re still welcome to use my tables if you can figure out a way to get them.
I’ll add my sale items to the list. If anyone’s interested in them, I can bring them to Q2.

So as this event gets closer, Just posting an update for the masses. I have sent a list of questions to our point of contact, But just to summarize, I asked for load in/out times, I asked if the space is ADA Compliant (because I roped @nkurta0505 into participating as well), I also asked to clarify table size. I requested 2 tables just to be able…[Read more]

@randomdan Now that the 24th is now both AFOL Day and also looking like Q2, if you want to have it here following the meeting, you’re more than welcome. We had to clean out the barn to get the solar panels up, so we could set up in there if you wanted. It’s your thing Dan, so I’ll follow your lead.

Mitch replied to the topic Swap meet/garage sale in the forum Meetups 1 year ago
Its worth nothing that the 24th is now afol day, which could either make it easier or hard to have the swap meet. could be nice to combine the two? What do you think @randomdan

@randomdan Is the ship in the bottle new in box? If so, I’d be interested in that for sure. If people are trading built lego’s should we have a column on the spreadsheet that indicates if the set is new in box?
Thanks for letting me know ~

@randomdan That’s usually my go to, but I’m not sure when I lost them and wasn’t able to find anything. Fortunately, I have some hard copies and found some digital materials, but not the most current versions.

oh, I thought you meant something else besides “the short version of your name” when you said “nickname”…
Gonna change your display to WalkingDan or something, @randomdan?

@randomdan I am not sure, I have never used it. But if I poked around for a few minutes on your phone I’m sure I could figure it out
@knb112 That makes sense! looking forward to your photos in the future.

Most planning is conducted here on the Forum within each event thread. We generally also discuss upcoming events at each Quarterly meeting.
While we have done multiple events at the Science Center, I believe this is a new event for us.
I would love to basically just set up track for this event (maybe even with minimal scenery) and just run as…[Read more]

Figbarf!
Here are a couple of custom figs I’ve seen from the LUG that are noteworthy:
@randomdan: The Brictator, or that loner terraforming guy. Or finally build William Howard Truss!
@tfdesigns: Does Whitetron have a named character?
Maybe I could update Buckley “Buck” George…
