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 is the Spaceport I built for the 2005 NW Brickcon.
Some features:
working baggage system (elevator takes it down to the tarmac, and a conveyor
takes it up to the baggage claim are)
monorail connection
it was made to connect with my gray civilian transport (see bricklink folder at
bottom for those old pictures)
Thank goodness for PAB in Bellevue.
8 gates, each at typical moonbase corridor height.
3 moonbase corridor connections (2 at 10 bricks high, one at 30 high)

OK - this isn’t really a vignette, but it DOES feature Joe Vig.
This was a module made for the Haunted Mansion at the 2005 NW BrickCon.
It is pretty self-explanatory; Joe-Vig, as a symbol of all that is naive about
the mini-fig world is being roasted (literally) by the non-Mini-figs.

Enjoy!
