I’d be down for some form of collaboration! Perhaps Hogsmeade or something so we can get out of our comfort zones?
Definitely planning on going again next year. I had a blast. My girlfriend would also want to come. She’s gotten into lenticulars…
I’ve finalized and put in all my MOCs. The only additions may be smaller vignettes I can fit between larger builds.
When registering MOCs, I’m assuming I just put that I’m with Steel City LUG for the “Where will you display?” section?
I apologize for having so many questions; this is my first time displaying at a convention.
As it stands I plan on displaying with the LUG as this is my first convention and I want to make sure I’m with people I know (I’m not very sociable or outgoing).
Most of the MOCs I plan haven’t been built yet… I do most of my building in the summer when I don’t have homework. I can get a rough guess at sizes though. I was also planning on bringing something to elevate some to maximize space. My Diagon Alley buildings aren’t deep enough to warrant taking up the entire depth of a table.
I’d only be able to get down from Friday morning onward… maybe later Thursday evening. Is this acceptable?
I just wanted to rekindle this discussion since I’m neurotic and like having things planned way out in advance. Also so I know when I’m moving into my apartment for graduate school.
Brickfair Chantilly tickets are out and they’re allowing people to register. Have any plans been moved forward for the LUG space? I mostly hang out on Discord and frequently miss updates here, so if I’ve missed something and am asking redundant questions I apologize.
How much space would each person have? I’m likely to bring 2-3 Diagon Alley Buildings, my cantina diorama I’ve yet to build, and maybe a couple smaller builds. I was planning on bringing boxes for some things to elevate them and take up less space as I don’t want to take up more than necessary. My DA builds are small enough to put them behind something else of mine, for instance.
I’m not particularly outgoing and would prefer to keep all my things with the LUG, around people I know.
I am planning on attending! I am not entirely certain what I’ll be bringing but I have a rough guess. I’m thinking a diorama of Mos Eisley Cantina and the surrounding street, a couple of my Diagon Alley buildings, and maybe a couple smaller things.
Would I be setting up in the Pop Culture area, or just with the LUG? This is my first event displaying.
Howdy! Just wanted to hop on here and promote my newly made LEGO Instagram account, @jrbrickworm !! So far I’ve got a couple posts for my recent Ollivanders Wand Shop MOC.
Howdy,
I’ve created a LEGO Instagram page. Ollivanders should be up tomorrow around noon. It would mean a lot if people from the Lug could share and support the page. In case anyone doesn’t have an Instagram, I’ve still attached a few photos.
I have an update on my Diagon Alley project– I’m nearly finished Ollivanders! I learned a lot along the way, most notably to order pieces as I go– I’ve got a lot of excess pieces and a bit of wasted money. Oh well, I’m sure they’ll get used.
I’m finishing the interior and deciding if I want to put in the lamposts from the 2011 Diagon Alley set. While the lamposts aren’t in the movies, Universal, or even the books, I have fond memories of that set as a kid and I wanted to reference it somehow.
I’m trying to have two builds before I open up a LEGO Instagram page, but I’ll keep yall posted!
Does anyone know of a good way to either make stickers, get custom printed parts, or print on parts oneself? There are still a handful of shops in Diagon Alley I’ve got listed that don’t have stickers anywhere as far as I can tell.
How do you plan on doing the little alcoves above the doors? I tried to make the entire Alley before my dark ages and couldn’t find the pieces to do it. That, amongst some other issues and things, contributed to my dark ages.
That said, check out Scarlet Patronus on eBay. They have amazing quality stickers for a lot of the shops LEGO hasn’t officially done. Here’s the link for Madam Malkin’s/Potages– https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295543023312?hash=item44cfbca6d0:g:wx4AAOSwfl1gEwvJ
WHat shops are left to do?
The Diagon Alley set up is quite impressive!
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only HP fan around here. My girlfriend got me back into it around the same time she convinced me to give LEGO another go. There aren’t many HP fans around WVU’s campus though.
Would it be possible to do the entire layout as seen at Universal amongst the group? I’ll still work on my own, but doing it full send for Universal would be fun and different. I’m having to combine references from Universal and the Studio Tour for various reasons.
Thank you!
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make the Q2 meeting, but I may still participate just for fun. Can I tag the Settel CityLUG Instagram page?
I’m new here and would like to participate in the challenge… is this officially the one for Q2? How much time is left?
Where can I find info about future challenges?
Hellow fellow mountaineer! WVU definitely has a beautiful campus! It’s quite nice here. I plan on staying for graduate school before moving back to my hometown deeper in the state.
I kinda try to keep my writing and LEGO as two separate hobbies. I have a love/hate attitude toward writing. Many, many, writers have assured me this is normal once one progresses to publishing.
What library displays are y’all doing? I think my first project will be Ollivander’s as I am a huge HP fan…
