Note for set up: The CSC has asked all participants to bring their own table coverings if possible (they rent and the cost has greatly increased). So I will bring my dark green tablecloths and we can also lay out the Steel City LUG black banners. I have one of the banners.
@rcgrier3406 @joshhall Yes, I can take stanchions (and some other stuff as needed) from the Museum for Locomotion weekend.
I received official notification from the Science Center that we have the same layout space as last year – “Steel City LUG 12’ x 20’ twelve 6 ft tables”.
We could still incorporate the bridge (maybe along the front or back lengths) but that would eat up a fair amount of display space.
@randomdan that is AMAZING and WONDERFUL news! Sending you wishes for a speedy recovery and hope to see you soon (once you are able to be out in public).
We can make it two videos from the LUG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUgsYelZ7Fg
When are you planning to be there with the table coverings?
@mrmain18 I am planing on being there tomorrow morning around 9:30-10:00 am.
@bengood921 thank you for all your work on the Layouts. 🙂
Started work on a Nuclear Waste Storage Facility on MILS plates as another one of my digital backdrops.
Nicely done. Very industrial. Watch out for those radioactive spiders!
Wow those are some nice vintage sets, especially the Police Station and the gas Station (both of which I have from my childhood). I also have 445 Police Units, which was one of my first sets. Nice finds.
OK, let’s do Saturday, August 23 for tear down. The Library opens at 10:00 am.
I’m wondering about building a particular storefront for the winter show in Cranberry.
@greg, I like the way you think!
I officially registered and paid for Brick Erie today. Looking forward to showing off the expanded Hoth Base.
I think Saturday, August 23 will be the day. The Library opens at 10:00 am. Does that work for everyone?
just wait until you meet Tim from Cranberry and Tim from Cranberry!
Tim from Cranberry checking in to say “hi” to Alan! Welcome to the group. 😀
I had no idea there was an Air Force Museum in Ohio
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio – https://www.wpafb.af.mil/
On topic – I have finished the towers of the great hall and will have the new roof completed tonight. I will still need to install the lights but am hoping to have that all done by tomorrow night. Then it is just finishing the details and packing everything up for next week!
Very well done! I love the “construction” aspect. It’s like the Fabuland characters are building their own “Miniland”.
Welcome, Rachel. I found that with my kids (all boys, late teens and early 20s) my oldest still likes to build sets and my middle one likes events and conventions, but the youngest is fairly blah on Lego. Maybe he’ll come around someday. 😀
when the hotel opens in the morning
I did not realize that hotels “closed” at night. It’s somewhat fundamental of the business to be open all the time (I’m sure he meant when the manager comes in the morning but I found that statement odd). I certainly hope everything works out.
Ben mentioned in another thread that BFVA was less than two weeks away. Yikes! (As seems to happen every year) I still have a fair amount of building to complete. Looks like some late nights and long weekends are ahead! 😀
how am I just now realizing there were 2 fort legorado sets?
The original was released in 1996 and then was re-released in 2002 as a Legends set.
Just a reminder that Friday (July 11) is the deadline to upload an avatar image to the Brickfair website to be printed onto your custom 2×3 tile.
Back in the early 1990’s, ALDI used to carry these cookies and they were the best. Huge chunks of chocolate chips. Glad to see Matt’s is still in business. 😀
You can cart through any other door in the venue, as long as it’s open. On the map, you can see a set of double doors that goes directly to the outside right by the lower right corner of the Steel City LUG area. But I can’t specifically recall if they open those doors during load-in/out times.
There is a roll-up garage style door just to the left of the main entrance. That is normally open a fair amount Wednesday and Thursday for initial load-in. That would be the best access point for carts/wagons.
@timf I just found out that Jordan will be attending the Ambassador meeting and doing a presentation at some point.
Nice!
