Hi, It is the first time that I attended BF. I thought that BF is great. Now, I know that BF is huge. BF is not only a marvelous show at GMU but also a great opportunity to meet friendly people at Rocklands. Of course, it has been great pleasure for (...)

(snip) (...) I can echo the feeling over on the Train layout. I was talking to a family about my red train station, when the mom made a gesture and accidentially knocked the stairway roof off.

(...) Wasn't that sculpture built as a test of some software he had written? I believe you give it a 3D model and it generates building instructions for you. (19 years ago, 19-Aug-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Okay, here's a low-res video of the GBC. It doesn't show my module for very long; the camera was still setting itself up to record and I thought I had stood there long enough, but I hadn't. Anyway, it runs for 9:39, has a couple spots where I had to (...) (19 years ago, 19-Aug-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

| | Whose angel sculpture was that?

There was a life-sized angel statue in the Sculpture room. I read the card, but failed to write down (or remember) the name of the builder. Does anyone know who that was, and how to contact him? I'd like to put a picture of it in BrickWiki (on the (...) (19 years ago, 19-Aug-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

It's white, so you can paint it to the colour you want. It's slightly less (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.events.brickfest)
