@laura for the castle/medieval area, we could have several castles and their knights all going up against Sauron’s dark Tower
Registered and hotel booked for Thursday thru Sunday.
Gonna bring Hoth again with it’s additional explosions (hopefully all lit up) and expanded snowfield. If you bring your part @timf, we can have it raised up and filled in more
Might be a steal for someone, the Hogwarts Castle (450 retail) for 100 bucks, double check if it’s Lego!
Talked with her on the phone Friday evening and will see her this Friday at the trolley museum, she couldn’t make it last week.
Hey all!
Here’s another track find from Marketplace, not sure if the price is good or not:
Would definitely like to add in a Castle/Medieval Area for this. I think we have enough castle builds to fill a nice area, could even do a bit of a collab with it.
We could do one big train and a couple smaller train areas potentially, just depends on how much track we have and how the layout ends up being. The big/main loop of train should be on the edges and thus easily accessible. Smaller loops geared for specific areas should be able to be built to have access throughout.
Welcome Michael!
If you are looking for just a mass amount of bricks for decent pricing, check out FB Marketplace and watch in your area for people getting rid of bulk Lego. Price varies bit average is usually 8-10 bucks a pound so if you can get several pounds for less (depends on piece type/size, etc) then you can pick up lots of pieces for a good deal.
Just be aware, a lot of times those have other bricks, like Megablocks and others, mixed in or other types of toys just thrown together so you may have to do some sorting but it’s a great way to get your brick count up to start with if you aren’t worried about specific sets.
Combining tables really shouldn’t be an issue as long as we level them all to the same height. Wedges or even post it notes stacks work great for this. The Post it nites are awesome because you can just tear off what you don’t need to get the level you want.
That idea of Josh’s is interesting, almost like we could have an inner island of stuff, maybe like bigger things such as Gabe’s crane, etc and the outer could be the “worlds”.
@joshhall some of the times in the event listing are messed up, some 1:45 AMs and such.
@laura what time does the trolley museum open on Saturday?
Thanks!
Good news! Almost all the Hoth baseplates have been converted over to the project support ones and almost all the winter baseplates are back to normal! Should have them all at Winter Trolley setup this Saturday and in fact I just checked inventory and I’m all done! 31 ready to return to the LUG.
Those 2 images look exactly the same to me. I was thinking that the inner track could turn at the top right sooner and come straight down and cross over the snow field and then turn and go around the base/hangar area and on its merry way, should use about the same amount of track.
@laura looks good, what is the scale you are using? Hoth is definitely longer than wide (6 baseplates wide but 13 long, which we can pare down a lil to more like 11 if need be). OF course, one or two baseplates along the side and one at the end of the snowfield for the trains works great, will just take some adjustment and playing around with stuff.
Also covered up some more bare area with a really neat hidden side evil high school.
Sorry @timf you’ll have a bit more to take with you.
@skmk who are you? I don’t think you were displaying with us on Saturday.
Well, thinking Hoth can be shortened without the UCS Falcon (gonna use the original one, much smaller) to 6 x 12 32×32 baseplates and perfect line for a train to go over the battlefield (tourists need to see it up close right?)
Thoughts?
I had to create the event for Library Con, create the shifts, safe it, go back in and change the shifts to the right time and save it again and then it was fine. Might work if every step is saved before you do the next thing.
@knb112 Tim is not able to go.
