Hi all,
I should visit LUGNET more often (like David Koudys suggests) to show my latest
creations... A few mosaics, a new puzzle, and my very first GBC module.
In the
mean time I also created my own
YouTube-chanel, so
that you can watch the GBC module in action.
(pics are links)
And last but
not least: the GBC module
grtz,
Maarten

At first I wasn’t too sure about this one...
I think this one will be the first to get multiple copies (I most likely will
get 2) just to enlarge the detective’s office, the pool hall, the barbershop,
and the appartments upstairs... they are too cramped for one 32x32 baseplate.
:)

LEGO plans Reality TV Show
Toy company’s foray into TV would build on success of Warner Bros’ The LEGO
Movie and development of Batman spin-off film.
After The LEGO Movie, watch out for the LEGO reality TV show. The Danish
toymaker is following the global success of its foray into Hollywood films with
a move into TV next year.
LEGO is developing reality competition formats and will be launching a TV
series in 2015. A senior executive hinted on Tuesday that one idea LEGO is
exploring revolves around Master Builders – the name given to the designers of
its toy bricks sets and theme parks, and to characters in its movie.
The company is aiming to drive further into the entertainment and content
sectors following the runaway success of The LEGO Movie – which has racked up
nearly $500m in global box office receipts – and associated merchandising, which
helped it overtake Barbie-maker Mattel as the world’s biggest toy maker.
Jill Wilfert, LEGO vice-president of global licensing and distribution, said
that the Danish company is “exploring some reality competition show formats,
which is new for us: the idea of becoming a Master Builder is something we think
could be quite resonating”.
Wilfert, speaking at the Mipcom TV conference in Cannes on Tuesday, said that
over the next few years the company will increase its focus on TV and digital
entertainment.
“You will continue to see us in this entertainment and content space,” she said.
“We are working on a new property that will launch with a TV series in 2015, and
we are focusing on having real interactivity.”
She added that the it would be something designed for digital natives, with apps
integrated into the experience.
Wilfert said that there is also a LEGO documentary set to air next year.
Fans can expect a sequel to the first LEGO movie, with reports earlier this
month that it was likely to focus on the Batman character voiced by Will Arnett.
“The audience has responded, they love our content,” she said. “There is a lot
of speculation about future LEGO movies. I’m pretty confident that we’ll be
seeing additional LEGO movies in the future.”

It’s the Sirocco. And not the forgettable Volkswagen, either.

Something I’ve been tinkering with for a few days. Aside from the joints, it’s
made entirely from pieces found in (two copies of) 6817 Light Armor Firebase
from Mega Bloks’ Call of Duty line.
Thanks for looking. Enjoy!
Dave!

Nice, but I can’t help wondering….. how the “purists” would feel about the color
lime green!

I’ve tried to improve my mosaic of Lea a bit:
I’m not quite happy with the nose, but are there other details I should work on
too?
Play well,

We’ve had a “Christmas mosaic” competition in Byggepladen (the Danish LUG). My
contribution to the competition is this portrait of my daughter Lea:

50 States of LEGO
Sometimes inspiration strikes when you’re out in the wild, climbing mountains
and taking in breathtaking vistas. Other times, it happens when you’re looking
after your 7-year-old daughter and playing LEGO. You can probably guess how
photographer Jeff Friesen’s 50 States of LEGO series came about.
Friesen hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, so it’s only appropriate that he turn
the “poke fun of Canada” table on its head and stereotype the US of A for a
change (although he did tell The Phoblographer that the project started by
depicting the 10 Canadian provinces before moving on to the states).
Each of the dioramas in the series is made with the LEGO pieces he has on hand
and some construction paper. Whatever little Photoshop goes into the project is
usually there to remove strings used to hold certain pieces in the right spot
(the Kansas house, for example) or make minor color corrections.
Speaking with Wired, the professional photographer explains that this funny
little project is a great way for him to blow off some steam while keeping his
daughter entertained. “I’m quite serious in my other work — this project sorta
gives me an outlet,” he told the magazine. “And I always like to keep that time
with her productive.”
