go to Classic-Castle.com and click on "City" - the 3CS system is the Classic
Castle City Standard, and it is how Castlers make large displays together.
It looked better than the Moonbase because of a somewhat unified theme and color
scheme (old grey!) - but that is partly the fault of the system the moonbase
uses.

In February there was BrickFest PDX in Portland Oregon. There are other fests,
such as the NorthWest BrickCon coming in October, and BricksWest used to happen
in the LA area (ive heard word of a possible revival), and a fest in Vancouver
BC.

Yes, altho Eric never showed me, so therefore I do not believe him. Eric claims
he can stand in from of Jama, and move his (Eric's) arm, and Jama will do the
same. But this sort of technology simply doesnt exist yet, so I don't believe
him.

I believe they are MOCs - utilizing some technic pieces and some regular pieces.
They don't look incredibly hard, but you might want to post in the .town forum
asking for help in recreating them with your own pieces.
