The Greater Portland LEGO® Railroaders (GPLR) are not
exclusively about LEGO trains...
On Thursday, January 11, 2007 GPLR delivered their 4th LEGO
diorama installment at the
Washington Square LEGO Store (Tigard, Oregon) “Window Into The Community”
display.
The diorama is a Rocket Garden and celebrates LEGO Space Exploration, or as some
of us call it “Space Bricksploration”. This is
a Minifig/Town related theme LEGO has periodically marketed since 1990, with the
advent of set 1682 Space Shuttle.
Jeremy Rear and Kim Toll take the theme to a highly designed and engineered
level to build MOCs (My Own Creatons) with unique and unconventional details.
Please take a moment to
preview our creations. If you get a chance, stop by the Washington Square LEGO
Store and carefully look at the details.
In addition, these MOCs and thousands of others will also be featured at
BrickFest™ PDX 2007, March 30 - April 1,
2007. Be sure to register
and join the fun with the international LEGO community!

At NWBrickCon2006 I showed my
first ever multi-colored sculpture.
It was a part of the moonbase display. It was an 8 foot tall cone with a
bulging red stripe spiraling up the side.
But the red stripe is structural. It’s not just tacked on the outside. It may
look boring to other people (after all it’s not
naked people), but it’s one of my
most important technical breakthroughs.
Comments welcome and appreciated.

This year, The Puget Sound Lego Train Club (PSLTC) was asked to be the main
model railroad layout for the fair. The layout was a great success and thanks
goes out to all of the members and all of the people who helped out with
staffing.

Every year the Western Washington Fair in Puyallup invites a train club to
display at the Fair. This year that club is the Puget Sound LEGO Train
Club (the first L-guage club so featured since the PNLTC displayed in
1999).
The PSLTC has a 32'x15' layout in the Hobby Hall featuring Jeff
Pelletier's downtown, Thomas Rafert's new (and old) mills, Brian Kelley's
offshore oil platform, and much more. The display is available for
viewing during regular Fair hours, 10am--10pm Sunday through Thursday and
10am--11pm Friday and Saturday, for the duration of the Fair (September
8--24).
Some pictures are available here:

NWBrickCon 2006 is looking for people who want to present a talk, moderate
a roundtable, or run a special activity at the Con this year.
We already have some traditional activities---like a Dirty Brickster,
Wacky Races, and Draft---lined up, but there are still several spaces
open. In the past, we have had slideshows, presentations on building
techniques and styles, discussions of how to package MOCs for shipping,
and more.
The Con runs October 6, 7, and 8 (move-in October 5). Talks and
activities will most likely be scheduled Friday afternoon and evening,
Saturday and Sunday morning, and Saturday evening, with roundtables during
public hours (11-4 Saturday and Sunday).
If you are interested in presenting, please e-mail me (my first three
initials @morfydd.net) with the title of your talk/roundtable/activity, a
brief description (for the Event Program), and any time restrictions (if
you won't be getting in until later Friday, for instance).
Deadline is Sunday, September 10.
Presenters (and everyone else) can register for the Con at
http://www.nwbrickcon.org
Hope to see you at the Seattle Center!
