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!

As the Art Coordinator for Northwest BrickCon 2006 (NWBrickCon2006 NWBC2006) one of my responsibilities was to produce the trophies for the art category.

One trophy was given out for “Best 2D Art”. One trophy was given out for “Best 3D Art”.

I have posted plans (both as pdf and ldr) and renderings of these sculptures at http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/happyfrosh/nwbrickcon2006/ArtTrophies2006/.

Comments welcome and appreciated.

first multi-colored sculpture - rhapsody in blue

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.
