|
| | | Okay spacers, Brickfest 2k3 is right around the corner. As far as displaying models and needed space, we can wait a bit longer to get a better idea of who will be coming and what they will have built. So, please start thinking about what you'll be (...)

| | | | The members of GardenSLUG are looking forward to participating. We have one Super Module and at least 3 normal modules. All of us are excited. See you there! BTW, I'll keep an eye out and help get the baseplate numbers pinned down for our group. (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | Okay, this is looking very nice. We're early in the game and already have a very good showing. NWBCon had 40 when the fad was strong, so thats the number to beat. We can and will make the largest moonbase to date. People will be so shocked at the (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) No, there's no standard as of yet, but that could be one of the things we discuss. To be honest, I'm not sure what a standard would involve. As long as it has room to zoom around and a place for figs to get on and off of it, I would think (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| | | | | | (...) I think the NWBrickCON guys just had the monorail track set to a height of two of the large black pedestal pieces. Add a slope to get it down to one height and build the monorail at that level, i'd think. That seems to be good enough of a (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

At NW BrickCon we had monorail track at +0, +10, and +20 (and even a small amount at +30 I think). +20 was necessary to clear most modules since it turns out it's easiest to just run the track whereever. However, if a station is actually built (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)
