Yes, we did it. We displayed space complete!

Woah, that really IS Space complete. You even got the unreleased set 1526 AND the rare dacta space set in the display. Maybe next year you could try Castle :) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) I will take partial credit for the neat little slope markers with the set number and year engraved on them and the logo on the 1x2 caps. Matt came up with idea and even designed me a jig/vise (out of LEGO of course) so could do them on my (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) Yeah, the 1526 is naturally a bit of a guess since all we have is box art to go from, but I think we got it pretty close (except the 4x4 radar dish fell off the front of the vehicle during shipping and since none of us knew the set very well I (...)

(...) As Tommy explained, he did the markers. They were my idea - I didn't want a big MOC card type thing to distract from the display, but I wanted some sort of marker that would identify each set. Tommy and I worked out the details, and they (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

<snip> (...) Matt, BRILLIANT! I'm really enjoying the pictures of this display more than anything I've seen in a long time. As more galleries show up on Brickshelf I see new perspective on the display. It would have been worth an airline ticket from (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

WOW! Fantastic! Kudos to all! This is the most amazing collection of Lego space I have ever seen! If I had known this was going to be at the Brickfest (and if the Brickfest was held on any other weekend) I surely would have made the trip. Four years (...)
