I went to the show (with no LEGO in tow at all :( )
But I took lots of video (some of which can never be shown in polite company...
ever!)
Anyways, here's my edited video of the various creations that people brought--
http://youtu.be/U0C6ZsYxFV0
As always, Janey and the event organizers put on an awesome show! I have a good
idea of the amount of effort that is needed to put a show such as this together
and make it utterly fantastic, and the efforts were appreciated, not just by me
and my family, but by the public that I spoke with at the show. I heard nothing
but high praise from everyone!
Again, thanks BrickFete for these wonderful shows!

And a quick mini tour of my new storage setup. When the room is fully done,
I'll do a new vid for that...
Anyway, here's the vid--

I agree with you John!
It’s kind of sad that the “diaspora” of AFOLs had continued... we were one big
dysfunctional happy family back in the early days before the “Bley Wars”. ;-)
There are so many sites out there now... many in local languages, others in
English. I post on many... but Lugnet is still “home”.... :-)
Cheers,

Well, put, Dave. I would like to see people add a LUGNET post when they post
links to their creations other places. It would give people a reason for
coming/staying here.
Maybe the admins for the MOCs, etc, NGs should repost cool things they see
around the webs, a la the Brothers Brick. Commentary could be totally optional.

There is a wee bit of tension on the radius when you put the wing plates
together. However, if you lock it down on the 90 degrees to whatever you're
building, it pretty much flattens the wing 'circle' The tension in the hinge
plates is why you usually see me putting the slopes on top--it holds the hinge
plates together.
THanks for looking.
I'll get the whole thing up when finished and link it here
Take care,
Dave K

The 4 x 9 wing plate is perfect. 36 of them in a circle fit inside a monorail
circle.
As you can probably see, I use this trick alot in my space layout.
I've probably ordered well over 1000 of those wing plates from various Bricklink
stores over the years. As well, the 2 x 4 hinge plate, and the blue slopes I
use to hold the hinges to the wing plate.
All in all, lots of BL orders for 'basic' pieces.
Thanks for looking!

THe very first site I go to when I start LEGO surfing is LUGNET. Then it just
goes from there.

I agree with Jacob. It's amazing how those wing pieces seem to exactly match
the radius of the curved monorail track sections.
I like what I see so far for this build. Classic Space has always been my
favorite. Please post pics of the completed build to Lugnet.

You have more energy than me! I haven't signed up to any other sites. I
occasionally end up on Eurobricks because a local member posts links to
there, but that's about it. I find it saves a lot of time. :-)

saying that...
As well, before I get to my post, (and to continue with my rant), if you can't
respect the fact that, without LUGNET, your little forum website probably
wouldn't be as big as it is, or even in existence at all.
As far as I can see, LUGNET laid the groundwork for all subsequently successful
AFOL forums. LUGNET separated the AFOL's from the 'background noise' that was
rtl and other newsgroups. It was one of the first message boards--programmed
form scratch, and well before cookie-cutter PHP message boards--that allowed us
to communicate with one another whilst keeping out the spammers.
Again, you don't have to respect any of this. You don't have to take any of
this into consideration when running your discussion group. However, don't
think for a second that you have the temerity to pronounce LUGNET dead.
And another little point to all your admins and owners of other AFOL sites--not
one of you combined ALL facets of the hobby in the same fashion and to the same
extent that LUGNET did. And none of you could do it now. You want to stay
ensconced into your own little niche of the hobby--all the power to you--have
fun with that. Just don't go slamming the giant that lead the way for you.
All that said, I visit many of the AFOL sites on a regular basis because LUGNET
isn't what it once was. There is no 'one-stop shopping' for the AFOL community
now. So again I say, have your sites! I love visiting them and seeing what
other AFOL's are saying and building... there is no end of discovery out there.
Again, however, you're there now because of who came before you. You're
standing on the shoulders of giants who lead the way.

It's for the OBB space layout (obviously). I needed something to replace the
big crater and this is what I came up with. It needs a few more BrickLink
orders and lots of time.
Again, no interiors as yet. I do keep stating that when I get the layout
finalized, that I'll go back and readdress all the buildings and stuff and add
the details. however, as yet, that hasn't happened :(

This is where I get to blame Derek--He got me started on teh GoPro camera
system.
Now I have 2.
THe GoPro is approximately 7 studs wide. I built a holder for it on a monorail
base.
You can see that it sometimes hits inside a building or tunnel, but otherwise
it's fantastic.
Thanks for checking it out!
