I took the “Up” House set and converted it to a full house.
Is that the Rebrickable version?
April 17, 2024 at 2:02 pm #58674Jim RolfeParticipantIn the strangely shaped corner near the door and on the right with the window blocked by a bookcase, can I build a small mountain? I was thinking I could put a cave or two for the orcs I have and put the Wizard Tower I built on top. Maybe a goat or two!
Not sure how high I can make it as that takes a ton of brick and a wide base as well. I can try to keep it compact to that window/corner area if no one has another plan there. I usually end up in that spot anyways so I assume it is OK with all! 🙂
April 17, 2024 at 3:40 pm #58676JadeParticipantThe castle I mentioned previously is small and so is my dragon. I’d say a 12 in x 12in (Lego base plate) areais plenty of space.
April 17, 2024 at 3:46 pm #58678TimModeratorcan I build a small mountain?
Absolutely. I’ll put you in for that space. Thanks, Jim.
April 17, 2024 at 10:41 pm #58682Will McDineParticipantIs that the Rebrickable version?
Correct, One of the several out there.
April 19, 2024 at 9:59 am #58689Jim RolfeParticipantI am pulling out of bunch of mythical creatures as well to see if I can fit them in the display.
I assume we still want all the water somewhere.

Nice! And yes, give us all the water.
Also @willmcdine, the Up House will look great floating overtop the castle landscape!

I will begin working on reconstructing it!
April 23, 2024 at 12:49 pm #58726TimModeratorHere is the first version of the layout proposal. @greg your castle can be oriented either sideways (solid lines) or facing forward (dotted lines) whichever you prefer and think would be best. @tcsbgdady your mountain is located in the left side where you requested. I’m working on some forest and ruins that can fill in the back or on the right side.
Does anyone else have anything larger than one 32×32 baseplate? If not, everything else can be filled in among these three larger MOCs and then held together with the river/water.

If I can’t make June 1st, I’ll bring it in earlier.
May 6, 2024 at 7:40 pm #58827TimModeratorThe Librarian sent me the following message. Wanted to see if anyone was interested.
“Just wanted to check in to see if anyone from Steel City Lug would be available to help out with a Lego program on July 25th (in the evening 5:30-7:30ish) where the kids get to come in and build or work on a Lego project together etc.”
Let me know. I would like to respond by the end of this week. Thank you!
May 9, 2024 at 7:38 pm #58858JadeParticipantWhat time on June 1 are you setting up the display? I have the small castle and dragon but have a commitment earlier in the day.
May 10, 2024 at 9:28 am #58862DanParticipantI built a small hot air balloon so a knight can properly battle the dragons. Am I correct in recalling that there are already hooks or boards to attach it?

There is a wooden lattice on the ceiling the LUG left in there. I do not remember there being any left behind hooks, but maybe. Most folks were hanging items with fishline around their models. I need to go over and see if I can measure something in the case, so I will follow up with any corrections here…unless someone else knows exactly.
May 10, 2024 at 2:22 pm #58864Jim RolfeParticipantWoodennlattice has some eye screws still in ot for helping to hang.

Probably a cave on side/back. Obviously this will be covered in rock work and some waterfall/pond where the blue pieces are currently.
Willing to take some input, but I need to get covering all this big, white area; so get it in early!

@tcsbgdady That castle looks huge. A fitting opponent/companion to Greg’s yellow castle.May 11, 2024 at 11:35 am #58888TimModeratorThe Librarian sent me the following message. Wanted to see if anyone was interested.

I’m just bumping this to see if anyone local to Cranberry is interested/available. @tbrown00 @tcsbgdady @greg @rcgrier3406 I’m probably missing a few more (sorry). I need reply to her early next week.
May 11, 2024 at 8:01 pm #58893JadeParticipantUnfortunately, at that time I’ll be at the zoo for a Duquesne University event. Is there any other day/time I could add my item? It’s a small item- castle and dragon the size of 1 base plate.
May 12, 2024 at 11:54 am #58894TimModeratorIs there any other day/time I could add my item?
@jrosie Yes, if you want to bring it up to the Library earlier that week (Wednesday-Friday), the display case will be empty. Or you can bring it to my house (105 Apple Blossom Lane, Cranberry Twp) and I will take it on Saturday.
May 21, 2024 at 7:31 pm #58957Tim BrownParticipantAlright. Bumped into @tcsbgdady today. He won’t be able to make install on Sat, so we’re going to meet up that Friday (31st) afternoon to put his stuff in. Be a great time if anyone else can’t do Saturday to get their stuff in. Not sure 100% on time yet but say 1-ish.
In other news @timf I know I’m late to the party but I am available July 25th to help out. Not sure if you messeged them yet.
May 21, 2024 at 8:11 pm #58958JadeParticipantI can’t make it June 1 either and plan to come Friday but I dont finish school until 230 and planned on stopping at the library then to place my items.
