Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner. Long story short, I haven’t really had time to do much with the lighthouse since then. To answer your questions: I have no idea how I’ll do either of those. I think the lighthouse will be put on the backburner for a little while. This was a huge project, and…Read more

The intention way in the future is to replicate the actual base of the lighthouse today, but I think it’d be more fun to just be creative for brickfest

It is not raised. The only feasible way I can see to raise the lighthouse under the current time constraints is to place the entire base plate onto to something. Perhaps something that’s easier, and possibly more accurate, is to build a sand dune barrier between the sand and grass

Somehow it didn’t fall over or suffer any significant damage.

I’d love to expand the footprint, but there’s no way it’d be done in time for brickfest.

The lighthouse is very top heavy, so I had to make the base and central support structure wide enough and strong enough for it to take the weight of the top parts instead of relying on the round walls to

The last thing people think of when they hear Pittsburgh is a 4ft tall model of a lighthouse from North Carolina ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For now, I just want a minimum viable model assembled.

I’d like to get a minimum base version of the model done before adding in nice-to-haves.

It’ll have to be moved off the dining room table since it’ll become too tall to work on as soon as I add the next piece of the spiral

Getting the spiral of one section to line up with the next is turning out to be tricky

That’s been put on the backburner until this is complete. This is a model I’ve always wanted to do

I’m a software developer myself and am looking for a fun app to write.

I was thinking of writing an app to take an image and transform it into a Lego mosaic. It would give you a list of all the pieces you’d need to order and instructions on how to put it together.

I’m using the technique of pivoted 1×2’s with round 1×1’s and need a clean way of attaching them to regular bricks.

I need a good way to fill the inside of this thing for structural support. I was planning on buying up a bunch of Duplo blocks, but would anyone have any good recommendations for this?

My name is Jordan, and I’ve decided to join to meet new people also interested in Lego in the Pittsburgh area.

I’m 24 years old and have just recently got back into building after taking a short break during college. I currently live in Mt. Lebanon.

I’m primarily interested in architecture builds, but have a side interest in…Read more
