No. Indiana is a very powerful state in terms of LEGO use, but we're not (yet!)
powerful enough to license our state name. Thanks for asking!

Hello, I am a closet Lego maniac in the Muncie/Anderson IN area. I have been
a Lugnet member for about four years and was just wondering about coming out
of the closet and seeing what is out in the world of Lego around me. Any
direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi Bryan. We have an active club centered around Indianapolis called
IndyLUG. We’re always interested in meeting new LEGO
Maniacas and seeing their creations. If you’re interested, our November meeting
will be on Sunday, November 12 in Danville, IN (just west of Indianapolis). The
weekend after that we’re going to play a game of BrickQuest at the same location.
Since you’re in the Anderson/Muncie area,
you’re relatively close to Dayton, Ohio where there’s going to be a National
Model Railroad Association (NMRA) show this coming weekend.
If you have any
questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Contact information and most of our
online communication can be found at the IndyLUG website.

Greetings All,
IndyLUG is proud to announce the By Air, By Rail Festival to be held in
Fotville, IN (just northeast of Indianapolis) on July 21-23, 2006.
http://www.myfortville.com/by-air-by-rail.shtml
The organizers were so impressed with our displays/layouts last year they have
offered our club over 4,500 square feet of space this year. It’s an air
conditioned Middle School Cafeteria/Gymnasium with level floors that will be
secured and locked each evening.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to clubs
and individuals to come and participate with us at this event. While the
primary themes of the show are trains and planes, we have been given
permission to display castle and space themes as well. The train layout
will be the largest IndyLUG has done (roughly 35’ x 35’) and we hope to
expand it by integrating other club’s layouts with our own.
We are also planning on some social activities after show hours that
will give visiting participants a chance to meet some great AFOLs. We
are currently looking into accommodations for out-of-towners and may
have a few spare bedrooms available from local members. We are also
trying to secure a block of hotel rooms, but the expense will be the
responsibility of the visitor.
We are very excited to have this chance to host other clubs at a show
and look forward to hearing from interested parties/individuals.
If interested, please respond to jedspurgREMOVE@iupui.edu as soon as
possible.

Activities for March’s meeting will include:
• Planning for 500 Festival show (May)

making chili and asks us to bring drinks, condiments, and snacks.)
Of course, any and all MOC’s, whether they’re related to an upcoming show or
not, are always welcome.
If there are any Hoosier LEGO enthusiasts out there who have never been to an

their new creations. Email me for exact directions.
See everyone Mar. 12,

Those sweet elves were created by Matt.
I think the carts were made by Nathan, but I don’t remember for sure.
The chicken is, of course, not a LEGO piece. I think Nathan said that he bought
it at a museum. (Correct me if I’m wrong on that one Nathan.) The chicken just
happened to fit right into a minifig’s hand.

Where is the chicken from?

I like the elves. And the little MOCs like the cart. And the chicken.

On the weekend of February 25 & 26, IndyLUG displayed at the Child and Parent
Expo at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. Half of the layout was
Castle/medieval themed. Thanks to Matt Bieda, Jeramy Spurgeon, David Gregory,
John Kyle, Alex Taylor, Nathan Theising and Leah Cardaci for making this year’s
Castle layout another great one.
The Castle area started off with a sea full
of Vikings and pirates invading the shore. I’ve seen large groups of ships
before (Evil Stevie’s Pirate Game at Brickfest), but there’s just something
super cool when you see so many grouped together on blue baseplates.
The layout also included a castle with a CCC wall around it.
In the center of the Castle area we had a scene from The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe. The scene was, of course, the huge battle from the end of the
movie/book. We were hoping that lots of kids would have seen the movie in the
past few months and would recognize the characters from it, and we were
delighted when many of them did.
And what Castle layout is complete without lots of castles, fortresses and
other various medieval structures dotting the landscape?
Then there’s all the neato minifigs that you just have to have.
Last but not least, the far end of the layout had a dropped down area. It’s
always nice to have some way to add differences in elevation to the terrain.
Here are links to the
whole Castle area folder and the
whole Narnia folder.
Enjoy!

you adhere to the Moonbase Module

As long as enough people have an
interest in it, would everyone like to another round of LEGO Archaeology?

Hello everyone. I would like to announce that the December IndyLUG meeting will
be on Sunday, December 18 at 2:00 at Jeramy’s house in Fishers. We were
originally planning to have the meeting on the usual 2nd Sunday of the month,
but the 18th worked better for more people.
Be thinking of who you would like
to nominate &/or vote for in our upcoming club elections. We’re also going to
have a gift exchange. If you would like to participate in the gift exchange,
please bring a wrapped LEGO related gift in the range of $15.
We’ll be
planning the layout for the Great Train Expo in January, so if you have any new
ideas for that please have them ready. If you’ll be bringing the same MOC’s to
the January show as the October show, that’s fine too; just be ready to remind
us what those MOC’s are and how much space they use.
See you there,
David
Gregory
IndyLUG Secretary
