My 3 yr old had to watch this video 5 times in a row yesterday.
It's an awesome vid!
Nice layouts!

Opening This Weekend: LEGO Architecture at the National Building Museum
Posted by Nevin Martell
July 2, 2010
When you’re a kid, there are few better ways to spend an afternoon than playing
with LEGO bricks. Maybe you want to build a spaceship, a Viking ship, or a
firehouse. Or maybe you’re building something that previously only existed in
your imagination.
Or maybe, like me, you grew up and wrote a book about LEGO minifigures.
Adam Reed Tucker has gone one further: He makes a living playing with LEGO. The
architectural artist and LEGO Certified Professional (seen above with his work)
has made a career creating landmark buildings using LEGO. His mega models–which
use up to half a million bricks and can shoot up to 18 feet high–include the
Empire State Building, the Space Needle, and the John Hancock Center in Chicago.
Now 15 of these brick creations are on display at the National Building Museum
as part of “LEGO Architecture: Towering Ambition.”
To celebrate the exhibit, Tucker will be unveiling a brand new creation, which
is his take on the White House. Kids–and adults who want to pretend they’re
still kids–can purchase a smaller version of the model at the museum store to
take home and build themselves.
The exhibition runs through Sept. 5 at the National Building Museum, 401 F St.
NW. $5.

Philcon 2006, the 70th edition of the annual
Philadelphia Area Conference of Science Fiction and Fantasy, will run this
coming November; and for the third year, I’ll be conducting a set of LEGO-themed
events. Here are some pics of the
2004 event and
2005.
There will definitely be an Open Build and a MOC display with pre- and
at-con-built SF-themed models, and maybe a Space-themed train layout. I might
run a couple of QuikWars games, or arrange a screening of SF/F-topic brikfilms.
There may be slideshows and building technique workshops.
How can you help?
- Do you want to come and present on a topic such as Bionicle, Castles, Mecha, Micro, Moonbase or Space?
- Want to contribute images and anecdots for such a slideshow, run by someone else?
- Itching to run a game of BrickQuest, BrikWars, or QuikWars?
- Got a fancy new Mindstorms NXT bot to demo?
- Have a MOC you can send by mail?
- Have MOC plans you can send by e-mail, that I’ll recreate locally and display under your name?
- Got a brikfilm you’d like to screen?
Why should you help?
- To show off your building prowess to an audience outside AFOLdom: over a thousand people from DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA, and VA.
- To expand the awareness of advanced LEGO building, and AFOLdom.
- Because you need another collaborative LEGO fix two-and-a-half months after BrickFest.
If you’re interested, please contact me at kids2006@philcon.org for details and planning. Thank you. (Philcon is a
copyright of the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society. Philcon 2006 runs the
weekend of 17-19 November 2006 at the Sheraton Center City, located near City
Hall. LEGO activities at Philcon are considered a sub-track of the Children’s
Program only for organizational purposes. This message has been cross-posted
because... well, there are lots of reasons you might logically be interested.)
