Hi All,
I live up in Beaver and I’m looking forward to finding more live activities. I have enjoyed building lego sets since I was a kid, but with renewed enthusiasm now that my 9yo has discovered his own love of lego.
I especially enjoy tinkering around with micro or midi scale versions of sets and have started experimenting with building models in stud.io. I just love the smaller sized sets.
I look forward to meeting all of you and seeing more of what you are building!
Welcome Ken! Beaver County Library is hosting an event next month at CCBC that some of us are attending, hope to see you there! You should be able to find the forum thread if you search “LibraryCon”.
There’s also a couple other events happening sooner, but none so close to your neck of the woods
Welcome Ken! Micro scale stuff is cool. This is one of my favorites of set 6990 (not my build, it’s one I stumbled across online).
Very cool!
I was delighted to see the Minecraft Crafting Block set, and the midi/micro-scale Star Wars sets. It’s nice to have a millennium falcon that didn’t break the bank and can tuck away nicely on a bookcase. Over the summer, I tracked some promotional Build and Takes for the Dreamzzz series and we recreated those, which was a lot of fun. And we are planning to recreate the original Minecraft Micro Worlds sets next.
The brick link builder program mini challenges are always fun to see how people have reduced those sets. Lots of great inspiration.
Welcome @kensc !! Myself and my wife are up in Chippewa so not too far from you and we are helping with the Library Con event! Look forward to chatting with you!
Oh I really like that mini Galactic Enforcer! Mini Minecraft should be a lot of fun to build. When I’ve done small scale stuff I’ve used two 1x1s (plates or tiles) to make people – are you thinking something similar for mobs?
Oh man, narrowing down the scale in I’m interested in is half my challenge right now. Haha
I’m looking at a few different ideas for microfigs- I really like the 3-4 plate tall mobs Lego made for the crafting table and the initial micro world sets, so I’ll probably recreate those, especially as the printed tiles are fairly cheap.
For other small scale builds, the heroica scale microfigs are very cool. So I might look to build more in that scale for castles and such. I stumbled across them years ago by chance and am trying to increase my collection of those.
And I’ve managed to accrue a fair number of space babies, and astronaut and alien statuettes, so I’ll probably keep playing around with ideas in those scales as well. I missed the space babies GWP, so that’s on my current hunt list.
Oh cool! Look forward to meeting you
next week.lol – misread the calendar. Oct 19, look forward to meeting you on Oct 19.
