    When registering MOCs, I’m assuming I just put that I’m with Steel City LUG for the “Where will you display?” section?

    I apologize for having so many questions; this is my first time displaying at a convention.

  • Fantastic… I’ll get my stuff sorted out and get a space estimate here soon.

  • As it stands I plan on displaying with the LUG as this is my first convention and I want to make sure I’m with people I know (I’m not very sociable or outgoing).

    Most of the MOCs I plan haven’t been built yet… I do most of my building in the summer when I don’t have homework. I can get a rough guess at sizes though. I was also planning on…[Read more]

    I just wanted to rekindle this discussion since I’m neurotic and like having things planned way out in advance. Also so I know when I’m moving into my apartment for graduate school.

    Brickfair Chantilly tickets are out and they’re allowing people to register. Have any plans been moved forward for the LUG space? I mostly hang out on Discord and…[Read more]

  • Thank you! When do I need to know by and whom do I contact?

  • How much space would each person have? I’m likely to bring 2-3 Diagon Alley Buildings, my cantina diorama I’ve yet to build, and maybe a couple smaller builds. I was planning on bringing boxes for some things to elevate them and take up less space as I don’t want to take up more than necessary. My DA builds are small enough to put them behind…[Read more]

  • I am planning on attending! I am not entirely certain what I’ll be bringing but I have a rough guess. I’m thinking a diorama of Mos Eisley Cantina and the surrounding street, a couple of my Diagon Alley buildings, and maybe a couple smaller things.

    Would I be setting up in the Pop Culture area, or just with the LUG? This is my first event displaying.

    Been a long day lol.

    I have an update on my Diagon Alley project– I’m nearly finished Ollivanders! I learned a lot along the way, most notably to order pieces as I go– I’ve got a lot of excess pieces and a bit of wasted money. Oh well, I’m sure they’ll get used.

    I’m finishing the interior and deciding if I want to put in the lamposts from the 2011 Diagon Alley…[Read more]

    Does anyone know of a good way to either make stickers, get custom printed parts, or print on parts oneself? There are still a handful of shops in Diagon Alley I’ve got listed that don’t have stickers anywhere as far as I can tell.

  • JR replied to the topic Diagon Alley in the forum MOCs 12 months ago

    How do you plan on doing the little alcoves above the doors? I tried to make the entire Alley before my dark ages and couldn’t find the pieces to do it. That, amongst some other issues and things, contributed to my dark ages.

    That said, check out Scarlet Patronus on eBay. They have amazing quality stickers for a lot of the shops LEGO hasn’t…[Read more]

  • What’s the discord code?

  • JR replied to the topic Diagon Alley in the forum MOCs 12 months ago

    The Diagon Alley set up is quite impressive!

    I’m glad to hear I’m not the only HP fan around here. My girlfriend got me back into it around the same time she convinced me to give LEGO another go. There aren’t many HP fans around WVU’s campus though.

    Would it be possible to do the entire layout as seen at Universal amongst the group? I’ll still…[Read more]

  • Thank you!

    Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make the Q2 meeting, but I may still participate just for fun. Can I tag the Settel CityLUG Instagram page?

    Howdy yall,

    I grew up on Harry Potter and I’ve decided as I dip my toes back into the hobby I want to complete the entirety of Diagon Alley… slowly… over a few years. Probably get Knockturn Alley and Carkitt Market in there as well for good measure.

    I’ve already designed and ordered the pieces for Ollivander’s Wand Shop. It’s 22 studs wide…[Read more]

  • I’m new here and would like to participate in the challenge… is this officially the one for Q2? How much time is left?

    Where can I find info about future challenges?

    I’m from Berkeley County. Once I have my Master’s I’ll probably return there or Jefferson.

  • JR replied to the topic Hello Again! in the forum Introductions 1 year ago

    Hellow fellow mountaineer! WVU definitely has a beautiful campus! It’s quite nice here. I plan on staying for graduate school before moving back to my hometown deeper in the state.

    I kinda try to keep my writing and LEGO as two separate hobbies. I have a love/hate attitude toward writing. Many, many, writers have assured me this is normal once…[Read more]

  • JR started the topic Hello Again! in the forum Introductions 1 year ago

    Howdy y’all,

    I made an account and registered here a little while back in a random resurgent interest in the LEGO hobby. It didn’t last long and was kinda like a half-return from my Dark Ages: I started to get back into LEGO but never fully got there. I’m hoping to be back for good now, as I’ve been encouraged to get back into the hobby.

    As per…[Read more]
