Benjamin C Good replied to the topic Blogged in the forum MOCs 1 year, 9 months ago
From BrickWorld Chicago 2022. It’s a really cool build, and I was impressed by their decision to make a modular collab based on pizza-slice shaped sections.
Notes about this one as I watch:
– There’s a lackey sighting at the 3:44 mark.
– Hanlon queues up Micah’s appearance shortly after the 4:50 mark. (Yes, it made me el-oh-el.)
– I had…[Read more]

@randomdan You tricked me. I thought this was an update from Doug himself. Hopefully reviving this thread will pull him out of hiding (i.e. enjoying the beautiful life in Colorado). 🙂

NEW CAR COMPLETED
This is the alternate #18 car, earmarked for @randomdan. This is another case, like all alternate cars before this, where the alternate fits among the regular field in terms of quality. No drop off here!

@randomdan are you using Travis bricks at the top and bottom of the cell? Obviously the fence piece is the primary 12 Bricks part for this design but (presuming those are Travis bricks) good job working in a secondary 12 Bricks part as well.

Hey, we’re talking Moonbase and Space now, so, what kind of Star Wars or Space stuff do you have? NASA and Star Wars, huh?
By the way, *thumbs my lapels* I am the winner of the Maximum Verbosity Trophy. We sometimes build in joke / accomplishment trophies to hand out during our quarterly meetings. We build them just for fun too. Anybody can…[Read more]

Welcome to the LUG. Don’t worry about maximum verbosity of any post you make; I’ve already gotten a club award for that. It’s true! We have fun here, so share your passion for building without restraint. Excitement is infectious!
Off the top of my head, here are the builders whose unique work inspires me.
As for the North Pole Village, talk to @g…[Read more]

CAR CONSTRUCTION
* @greg: That alternate #46 car looks good, and turned out to be just about on par with the #17 and #23 cars. It’s inevitable that the cars are each a little different, as dictated by the sticker sheet available. There really isn’t much improvement I could suggest, and that’s a good sign.
* I’ve decided to change the…[Read more]

CAR CONSTRUCTION
* Did a little work on the 20 and 30 cars, mostly on the front hood for the 30 and the rear of the 20. I might diverge from some of the standard template of shaping that I’ve been doing on the 84, 2, and 3 cars, as this is my last chance to break from patterns that have made these cars easy to mutate over time.
* Did…[Read more]

Greg Schubert replied to the topic Pick a Brick Wall in the forum LEGO Store 2 years, 9 months ago
A clerk confirmed that they have 1x5x6 panels in red (the cargo style ones, @randomdan) and trans-clear. I read online that you can get 26 of these panels in a PaB cup with lots of room to spare for other parts, (but I don’t know, I never tried it.)

I am planning on bringing a variety to trains (have to reply on @randomdan for monorail stuff) as well as town buildings. Depending up the space available (at both the show and in my car), I may include both the Gulf and K&L Gates buildings.

I just heard back from Rob Martin from the Maker Faire and we would need to sign-up by the end of the month, but I’d like to submit within the next two weeks if possible.
So far I see that @randomdan and @philmatt24 are pending approval and @rcgrier3406 and @timf are tentative. @greg as a yes?
I think we’re in the same boat here as we are with…[Read more]

@randomdan thank you for doing the Doodle.
@legoleia51 we are still IF at this point as I have not submitted our Display Application. I will go ahead and do that now that at least three of us are committed to the show (we always like to have at least 2 people per shift, minimum). If anyone else can come, please mark the Doodle ASAP.

@randomdan If you could, that’d be great. I was going to follow up with him next week, but I might get better traction with Trisha. I’m happy to keep you in the loop if you’d like. 😊

Rough week. Filling in for someone’s vacation at work. Lots of work grind. Met with @randomdan to look at our most recent builds and swap ideas and plans. I might buy some parts from him.
So I decided to start fooling around with MILSing a green baseplate as the base for a modular park. I haven’t seen many City/Town displays with a…[Read more]

Well that’s pretty cool. Steel City LUG does a wide, wide range of things. We build displays for public events, but we also hold internal contests. Once COVID is over, we’ll start up a serious display schedule again.
We often find the best LEGO deals for bricks. We trade bricks. We help each other with ideas, building styles, and design…[Read more]
