Northwest BrickCon 2006 (NWBrickCon2006 NWBC2006) ended last night. It was a great event.

I took some photos. Photos are posted to Brickshelf, available after moderation. Photos are full resolution, but have reduced quality for file size. Original photos available upon request. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/happyfrosh/nwbrickcon2006

A few hilights: Bill Volbrecht showed some of his models including his garden gnome, a penguin, taz, Mickey Mouse, an Easter Egg, and his pelican showing building details on the reverse side.

The castle display was huge and featured an enormous midevil battle. There was a castle style floating island. I was really impressed by this castle, which had amazing detail inside, outside, and around, including a shark attack in the moat. Favorites from previous years were back including the ogre attack, a herd of sheep and a castle themed Starbucks. One fantastic castle tower featured amazing use of the Harry Potter staircase elements.

The draft set was 4894 Mythical Creatures. There was a speed build, a master build, and a piece draft using this set. The master build was a timed creative event where people built a mecha using the pieces from this set. Some of the creations were serious, some were humorous, some were very polished.
