Hey first post just looking around Trying to figure things out

[Tom Frost]

Hey Don, welcome to the group!

Tell us a little about yourself…what brings you here, what do you like to build, what part of the area are you located?

[Don]

Oh Like to build lots of things. I’m working on a little cathedral. I like to build Trees, mini Robots (not powered) Cars + Trucks, Spaceships and some odd things.

I live in Penn Hills
I can’t remember what brought ne here 😛

Welcome Don! Do you have any pictures?

[Tom Frost]

I have never been very good at trees. You should post some pictures when you get a chance.

Cars and trucks and Sci fi are right up my alley though! My wife and I are both Penn Hills alum, now we are in the North Hills.

I would love to post some pictures. But I am terrible at taking pics, they always turn out poorly.
Is there a thread “Tips for photographing Lego builds” ?

It’s all good. They don’t have to be professional quality. We’re doing these sessions where we teach each other things we know well. We jut had a session where Mitch (@mitchsbricks) covered just taking better pictures. I personally missed it, but if there’s enough interest maybe he can run it again. (As an aside Mitch, that might also make a good YouTube video).

I’m interested in your tree building techniques as well. Getting a good brick built tree is something lots of builders struggle with.

Would be happy to run it again! I can potentially also use the proper photo studio at CMU to teach in… might make a thread about this and have to do some more research but bottom line is I would definitely teach another class.

Hi Don welcome!! Glad to have you.
