Is there any guidance for file size?
Not really. You have to play around with the upload a bit. The site will show your picture but you may only be able to select a portion of it. It can be a bit tricky to get it aligned correctly (sometimes it looks aligned and then when you save it, it is off-center, in which case you go back and do it again).
I was perusing the list of Attendees on the Brickfair website, and here is who is listed so far as attending from Steel City LUG:
Jacob Freshly
Timothy Freshly
Jonah Frost
Tom Frost
Benjamin Good
Alexis McDine
William McDine
Anne Schubert
Greg Schubert
Jonathan Wagner
Kristin WagnerI only was looking at Pennsylvania, so I may have missed a few (like Logan) who are likely registered under a different state.
Also a reminder that July 11 is the deadline for uploading a picture for your custom printed tile. It is showing as a 2×3 tile this year which was a nice surprise.
it probably wouldn’t be an enclosed display case/area but again we are just starting to talk about things. I’m sure most people would want that added protection but he did say they would definitely have stanchions up to keep people from getting too close.
This produces a hard No from me. There is no way the staff could safeguard any display we had. And with the number of kids and teenagers there, stuff would go missing very quickly. Without a locked and secure display case, I would not be interested (unless it was a one-off event where LUG members were staffing the display area during the entire event).
Hello, Dan, and welcome. You just missed our Second Quarter LUG meeting but that is OK. There are many events coming up over the next several months so if any are of interest, we would love to see you sometime. There is also fairly constant activity in our Discord. 🙂
That is certainly a flexible date so as we get closer to August, we can revisit when we want to do teardown. I just selected it as the middle of the month. Tear down does not need to be a Saturday; it could be a weekday evening depending if that would work for everyone.
OK, I have added everyone into the Set Up and Display shifts. Please double check to make sure I included everyone.
I did not enter anyone (other than myself) for the Tear Down shift. We are probably looking at Saturday, August 16 for tear down. Let me know if anyone foresees a problem with that. Thank you.
Sorting and inventorying LEGO parts
@carlsonf sounds like your cup of tea! 😀
I’m checking with the Library to see how early we can get in on Saturday. The Library opens at 10:00 am but often they will let is in 15-30 minutes early. I’m planning on being there around 9:30 am.
@tbrown00 will you already have your butterflies hung up before Saturday?Is anyone else planning on taking stuff to the Library before Saturday?
Much thanks in advance to everyone who will be contributing!
I also know there are a TON of questions. We’re happy to answer what we’re able.
Once the season has completely aired, I am sure there will be plenty of questions (I have a bunch that I know you could not answer yet as they would be potential spoilers). So maybe at Q3 there could be time aside for a recap?
Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will attend the premier and can therefore possibly retrieve materials for the Cranberry display.
@greg that would be great. Thank you.
“I watch JonnyBuildz for their hard-hitting journalism. They are not afraid to ask the pre-screened, pre-approved questions about things we all want to know.”
Making me LOL. 😀
I am not going to be able to make the watch party Monday. Could someone get the bricks from Josh for Cranberry?
If you are looking to build full size buildings, I have some experience in that. You can look at the 2025 Home and Garden pictures in our Gallery for pictures of my downtown buildings. I am currently working on several more and hope to have at least one more new one done in time for November’s Ultimate Brick Show. My latest is the Keenan Building (currently named Midtown Towers) located at 643 Liberty Avenue. It is the building with the red dome.
No worries. I can still bring QQS (assuming I have time to renovate it properly to scale – i.e. Modular size).
@tcsbgdady no problem at all. I am just waiting to hear back from Josh as to his availability over then next two weeks. 🙂
don’t forget that we also have over 24,000 1×1 bricks in a variety of colors that we ordered as part of Project Support for Mosaics last year
@rcgrier3406 I did forget that; thank you for the reminder. I should be able to go to Josh’s to pick those up sometime in the next two weeks.
So it looks like Saturday, May 31 will be the installation date. I know that is also the Q2 meeting but we should be able to install within an hour or so and then get over to Penn Hills for the meeting at 12:00 noon. Also, @tbrown00 and anyone else who has hanging stuff, if you can get your stuff in earlier that week, that will help speed things along on Saturday (I am waiting on confirmation from the Library that the case will be empty starting Tuesday, May 27).
We also need a roll call of who can bring loose single-color brick (and what color). Please respond here if you have loose brick you can lend to the display.
I believe @argonvesher has white. I have a big tub of Tan 2×4 and can likely contribute some other colors as needed.
@joshhall does the LUG have any tubs of single-color brick that would be available?I have a Quality Quidditch Supplies (based on the one at Universal Orlando) which I need to revamp and “up size”. It should fit nicely alongside WWW.
My wife works with nephrologists across the country and we have some great ones here in Pittsburgh. Praying for a quick and successful match for you, Dan.
Ready for the full Hoth display?
@argonvesher Yes. I am planning on reworking the interior baseplates to make it more modular and easier to move. This might require the removal of the running lights (the actual lights) but they really did not add much to the display. That will allow me to break up the baseplates into much smaller sections. I plan to do the same for the sidewalls, using technic pins to hold everything together.
Go ahead and register it. I have not registered for Brick Erie yet but will do so within the next several weeks. It is on my “to-do” list.
