Just now discovered that participating (270) Barnes and Noble stores are having a free LEGO Harry Potter build event today, Aug 24. The closet to PGH seems to be Greensburg and Youngstown – but if you are traveling, there may be one close to you! Go to this site

and sort the list by distance from your location. My results were …

Looks pretty good to me

an airship.September 10, 2024 at 6:33 pm #60547Greg SchubertParticipantI was trying to create patterns with sideways cheese slopes … it required a lot of patience! For a hot minute I abandoned the real LEGO parts and tried to experiment virtually with this idea in LEGO Studio, but Studio was clearly not meant for things that that don’t click into place.
Anyway, I was trying to create a Mexican design, but my first attempt looked more like an Amish quilt! 😛 With modifications, I got closer to mesoamerican, but the pattern really broke down as it approached the square boundary.
… still thinking about this

September 10, 2024 at 6:48 pm #60551Greg SchubertParticipantI looked at Katie Walker’s mosaic wizardy. It is mind-blowing that she gets everything to work out around the edges. I might try sideways slopes instead.
September 16, 2024 at 8:14 am #60606Greg SchubertParticipantThe octagonal baseplates and the cheese mosaic did not get incorporated into my latest project, however I found finally discovered a use for Friends minifigs. 🙂
Elements of this MOC are drawn from the Pixar movie, Coco, which centers around the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos. The central building is a shrine to the Coco character Ernesto de la Cruz, (think mexican Elvis.) The spark for this project was picking up mariachis at the LEGO store’s build-a-minifig station. Shout out to @paulamalu!

I am proud to say that I achieved a more sophisticated level of boring … and this one actually has pizza!

Haha!
I like the new look. The awnings are nice and I love that checkerboard strip. Hopefully the pizzaria wasn’t closed too long for renovations!

Also, I missed the Coco build somehow, that’s fantastic!! Such a fun / heart-string-pulling movie.

October 9, 2024 at 11:06 am #60962Matt RedfieldKeymasterhow dare you. i’m at work. i can’t be crying right now.
October 9, 2024 at 2:18 pm #60967TimModeratorI really enjoy upgrading old builds and seeing others do the same. Very nicely done. Those elves need their pizza!

I might know a guy (well I do know a guy, but I don’t know how close he is to Spartanburg, other than “within the same state”…)
November 5, 2024 at 7:57 pm #61412Greg SchubertParticipantHere is a good mental exercise … build the mirror image of a set.

December 14, 2024 at 9:00 am #62044Greg SchubertParticipantI found out that I was excommunicated from the Winter Village facebook group this past year but I did not receive an explanation of why.
I had received a prize from their building competition in January for making a chruch that was converted to a coffee shop, but after posting my Reindeer Stable idea as part of a LEGO gwp contest in April I was apparently banned. Maybe one of the Admins has a PETA membership and they don’t approve of using animals as domestic servants, even if its only once a year.
