The folks at the local Zany Brainy were nice enough to let me come set up a
single table display and show off my spooky Lego creations for Halloween
this year. I finally got some pictures developed and posted to Brickshelf
to share with folks:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=28326
The display included my Ghostline Express train that I had on display at
BrickFest. To go along with the train I built a small station and platform.
Other creations on display included a graveyard, my pumpkin patch, the
Witches Woods and a small mountain with a tunnel through it and the open-air
laboratory of the Mad Scientist on top.
The one MOC that I was particularly happy with is the tan & sand green tower
which has at the top of it revolving Harry Potter figs on broomsticks (from
4726 Quidditch Practice). I used the micro-motor from the Studios Backdrop
Set (1351) to spin the broomriders.
Folks who took time to stop and check out the display were very
complimentary and I received the ususal "Lego makes trains?" and "I haven't
seen this set before" comments. Unfortunately I didn't get as many viewers
as I had hoped due to the fact that I was set up just inside the store and
most Trick-or-Treaters were (of course) there for the candy. So they mainly
just passed by, grabbed some loot and kept on moving.
Next year, I'm going to see if I can set up out in the mall itself. I think
I'll get a lot more folks stopping by to check out the display who otherwise
wouldn't actually bother to come inside the Zany Brainy. Plus, I want to
expand to a two table set-up next year and the ZB would not have room for that.
Enjoy the pictures.

| Greg, that minifig graveyard is really great. Love the tombstone conrstuction, and those bare trees (with roots even!) are beautiful. I'm curious where you acquired all those stone wall bricks for the outer wall of the graveyard. I have a few from (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.fun.holiday)
