Again, thanks to Jealous Panda (http://www.jealouspanda.com) for the printed windows! They’re awesome!!

So I’m in the midst of upgrading my monorail station--



(all pics thus far here--)

And just want to thank my good friends over at Jealous Panda (http://www.jealouspanda.com/) for the new glass for the windows



I’m still building it and will figure out how to light it properly at some point...

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, Gary Istok

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.

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.

The way you match up the plates where the monorail takes a turn around
the landing pad is very nice.

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.

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
