After a great effort by NGLTC club members and non club members our tree display for the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Festival of trees was put on display this week. This evening at the preview party we were presented with a surprise, our display had one best tree in show! Some highlights of the display 45 yards of LEGO garland, and yes I drilled holes in 6000 2x2 bricks and strung them on fishing line to make this. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88027 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88053 Eric Harshbarger’s LEGO Santa: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88018 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88066 LEGO angle watching over: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88028 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88070 Ornaments made by professionals: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88085 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88050 Ornaments made by children: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88062 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88072 Custom CHOA train cars: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88022 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88023 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88024 Lots of ornaments made by club members, family members and friends: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88025 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88026 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88055 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88059 Lewis Valentine and myself receiving the award: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88033 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88034 And yes that is a LEGO tux vest and tie: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88032 The tree is for sale by the Festival, no I don’t get any of the money nor did I set the price: (that does include both sculptures too) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88020 Enjoying some of the rides: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88046 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88048 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88045 Checking out the other trees: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88038 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88035 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=88039 Rest of the pictures: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8664 We would like to thank everyone who made this possible and realize that this was an effort that took lots of work on many peoples part.
