Thanks Tim, I think the dotted line has it facing the front window, but the yellow castle is tall, so it will block things behind it.
If I can’t make June 1st, I’ll bring it in earlier.
I received this invitation from our Project Baseplate contact at CMU. It sounds interesting, but I have other commitments, so I thought that I would pass it along:
“Hi friends,
The CMU Futurist Club is running an event this Friday (April 26 from noon – 2:00) if you’re able to wiggle free and join us in celebrating their work through Play.
Please see the attached flyer for details and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I hope to see you then!
Best regards,
-John”
The main issue with gluing bricks together is that they don’t come apart.
But yeah, the entire Pitt logo was glued together by LUG members in Project Panther.
Actually I think the “glue” was a chemical that slightly melts the plastic together.
We have been discussing going to brick fair as a lug with more people than in past years and potentially getting an Airbnb together or something similar! Any ideas? Who’s interested?
Has this idea been further developed?
I took the “Up” House set and converted it to a full house.
Is that the Rebrickable version?
Whoever bought this lot, bless your heart. I was deterred by the thought of this taking over the remaining living space for months of sorting and completing sets.
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback!
@randomdan the color that I selected for the lights in studio is “luminous yellow” … the color allow a part to be a light source in the image … 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 is that some of my initial photos were rejected because everything was not at the same depth of field and therefore some pieces in the background were blurry. Also, the Ideas approvers won’t be happy with a brief description, so as your are rebuilding virtually, think about how to maximize your 1000 character limitThese are the virtual versions. I had extensive consultation with another builder that I met online and I am very grateful for her input.
I know the chances of winning any online LEGO competition is slim these days because so MANY people participate, but I had to try anyway. My idea for the gift-with-purchase competition is a reindeer stable with 209 parts.
Unfortunately neither the real world nor the Studio software have all the parts that I wanted to use. So I did the best I could in both. I brick built the doors that are not available in real life and I had to sub for the reindeer and the candy canes in LEGO studio.
@greg are you still considering displaying?
Yes, but as the time gets closer and I have still not registered, it gets more unlikely, so don’t plan for me being there.
@timf have you started a layout for Cranberry?
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
– Lewis Carroll“Bah humbug!”
– a Christmas CarolI got my hands on some early. Check out my latest MOC.
It’s nice, but it would look better with a coating of snow. ❄️
Work in progress … using studio to create an entry for the GWP contest. The 250 parts upper limit is a challenge.
Is there a way to add parts that are not available in the studio palette? ex. a reindeer?
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?
Estate Sale this Saturday in Chicora.
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
