The Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World shows
created by William Frederick Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, can be credited
with helping to create and preserve the dramatic myth of the Rough Riders and
the American Old West.

Maybe the time of year has something to do with it, but I must confess to have
been moved by the generosity of a few talented builders lately. Seperately,
we’ve seen Eric Sophie,
Tim Gould and
Mark Neumann sharing not only
their MOCs, but also instructions to their MOCs with the community.
Over the years, we’ve seen all sorts of claims, conflict and general angst about
intellectual property in MOCs, using other people’s ideas, failing to credit
other people and so on, but in the last month we’ve had three people I regard as
great builders openly sharing their work. Not selling it, not offering its use
on some limited basis, not requiring credit: just sharing, and encouraging
people to build.
So, kudos to Eric, Tim and Mark for their actions, and wishing everyone the best
for the season.

Hi all,
I thought that it might be nice to do something for the community to finish of
2009. So I’ve begun a project to develop a Western Train along with some
instructions.

Instructions (as
MPD)
I’ll be adding new posts when I complete new stock so check back regularly.
Hope you enjoy it and may 2009 be a great year.

Just wanted to share my Old West town created for the Festival of the Masters
event, taken place at Downtown Disney, in Orlando, Florida:

That’s a nice scene, I like the way the row of round plates 1x1 work near the
top of the brown building white the blue boardwalk canopy, and I like the brown
two-toned boardwalk canopy on the far right.
Please inform Scott Miller that I’ve made two simple changes to my own copy of
the set #10015 / set #4534 passenger wagon, i feel this improves it’s appearence
considerably:
- replace the red roof plates and tiles by brown plates and tiles
- shorten the boogies by one stud (using a partwise cheap and relative simple adaptation)
For details, see http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=49884

A simple and beautiful diorama. Very nice work capturing a complete scene.
Thanks for sharing and God Bless,

The Old West town was a collaboration effort, the steam engine, tender &
passenger car was build by Scott Miller, fellow GFLUG member.
As you can tell, it’s been modified a bit since
my original upload to
Flickr... all it’s missing is some cows. :)
Enjoy,
--Mike.

Here we go again in Portland! Just over 2 months till Brickfest PDX 2007!!
Frank Filz, Brendan Mauro, and I are coordinating the Castle display along with
other Historical (Pirate, Adventurers, Wild West, etc.). We’ve got plenty of
room in Convention Center so we’d like to make this display bigger than the one
we had at NWBC. The combined Castle display at NWBC was a huge success using
CCC, Base8, and unique creations. If you’re planning on attending and depending
on the theme please e-mail us, reply here, or join in the discussion over at
Classic-Castle and
let us know if you’re interested or not in participating in a combined display.
Also please let us know what you’re planning on bringing so we can get a general
idea of how much area we’re going to request. Based on the response we’re
getting over at Classic-Castle this is going to be a very large combined
display.
We’d like to plan for a fun time to be had by all so send us your ideas for
events you’d like to see happen. We’ll have Show ‘n Tell, Castle Community
Roundtable, and most likely a Landscaping discussion. Please let us know what
else you’d like to do. If you’d like to do a particular session or contest just
let us know and we’ll help make it happen.
We’ll most likely start a separate email list for planning the actual display so
to keep the final presentation a bigger surprise. We’ve got to keep those
Train guys guessing!
We’ve got plenty of time for planning and building so start brainstorming those
ideas for creating one of the most exciting Castle displays ever!!!

You could name the folder “pre-oeuvre” or so, so everybody can compare your
early buildings with your present MOCs.

Hey Rene,
Thanks for your comments (and sorry for my late reply). Many of the
removed MOCs will still appear in the backgrounds of layouts, so for now I’m
determined to carry on...
Thanks much and God Bless,

Hi Nathan,
please consider to just move them into a seperate folder. It's very interesting
sometimes to see how someone's building skills improved over time. You could
name the folder "pre-oeuvre" or so, so everybody can compare your early
buildings with your present MOCs.

Hey all,
I have decided to clean out all the older MOCs from my Brickshelf Gallery as I
am ashamed by their quality and I hope to make room for new and improved ones.
The ones being cut are mainly old CC entries and Medieval Marketplace Standard
MOCs. Most of them will still be visible in folders featuring whole layouts, it
is only the folders containing the individual buildings that are being deleted.
Here is a quick list of the items that will be going in case anyone wants to
look at anything before it vanishes off-line:
God Bless all,
Nathan

Impressing one's peers is a great reason to spend a lot of time on a project[1].
And as a Wild West fan, I'm quite impressed.

[1] When I'm driven to complete a project, my motivation is usually about 50%
inspiration, 50% personal satisfaction, and 50% external validation (impressing
my peers).

Those "sets" look top-notch! They really capture the style of the
old Lego System models. Now, it would be interesting to see if
someone could feasably produce a production run of these sets. I,
for one, would be interesting in buying one!
They'd probably have to change the packaging, though.
Blame the lawyers for that!

If these are fake the person or persons who did them spent a lot of time for no
reason. The insturtions on one of the sets look really good and I think that
they are official.
If I was Lego I would probably make 15-20 different sets for a theme. Test them
with test groups, then decide which ones that I would want the market to take.

Hi,
I just found them a few days ago.
Well, call it a hoax. It's not from TLC itself.
You'll find instructions as well, something TLC doesn't do this way.
But it's done very, very nice!
I would love to see sets like these coming into stores.
Best regards,
Daan Bargerbos

These are MOCs that one of the guys over on Eurobricks put together. Pretty
neat idea for a sub-theme, and excellent work putting them together as "sets".
