September – Fall

[Josh]

At our Q3 meeting, we decided we’d try out a monthly build theme to help stimulate creativity amongst the members. There will be a TBD prize, perhaps randomly by participation, for contributions. post to flickr and/or your instagram and a note here too. For september, the theme is FALL.

I am so going to make a pumpkin spice latte.

Maybe if IKEA will get their act together, and I can get my LEGO room in order before hand I will participate

Is anyone building for this month? I’m just trying to get a feel for social media posts. Thanks! ?

[Skipper Mike]

I’m going to try and get something put together.

[Krista K]

@skippermike I hoping too as well. Just hoping my parts arrive in time. 🙂

@knb112, I have a Grist Mill/Waterfall/Covered Bridge/Farmhouse scene (kind of modeled after McConnell’s Mills) that I built as a “stay at home” project this summer. The waterfall and water wheel for the mill are both motorized. I’m planning to add some “fall colors” to the trees once LUGBULK gets sorted and distributed, so if you’re looking for stuff to post this could fit the “FALL” theme once I do that. I could “drape” the back so you don’t see all the junk on the shelves, and take both stills and a video with the stuff moving if you’re interested.

That looks great @rcgrier3406! Especially the covered bridge and supports!

[Krista K]

@rcgrier3406 That looks awesome! I’ll definitely share on social media. I can share as is, but if you’d prefer to do a video that’d be great too.

This is our first time trying the monthly build idea out, but I think the goal was to post everything by the end of the month related to the monthly build. Personally, I’m not sure sure that I’m going to make it myself as my parts are in transit somewhere, even though they should have arrived by now.

I’m truly happy to post anything that you build though. ?

[Bob Grier]

Thanks @tfdesigns and @knb112! Krista, let’s wait until later in the month for pics to post to see how the timing for LUGBULK sort goes. It will definitely look more “Fall” with the colored leaves, and I’d prefer to drape the back anyway. I have the trees built already, so switching the leaves out will be pretty quick.

[Krista K]

@rcgrier3406 Sounds like a plan! 🙂

[Skipper Mike]

Hey @knb112 how do you want to do this? Should I send you a pic, post it on my own Insta, or go straight to group instagram with it?

[Krista K]

@skippermike you can post it here. If you post on your Instagram and tag steelcitylug, I can can repost it. If your account is private, I’ll just do a screen grab. ?

[Skipper Mike]

Posted it today September 31.

[Krista K]

Thanks so much @skippermike. I finally located my parts, they’re coming tomorrow. Good thing I have a lot of black and really dark grey for October’s. ?
