Hey guys...

For some time, I've been mildly jealous of clubs that have the members all
build something related and bring them to meetings- take, for example, the
"auto show" at a recent japanese LUG's meeting:

Would there be any interest from NELUG members in doing something similar at
some of our meetings?

Here are a few I thought of over coffee..

- Zoo: normal animals or bizarre creatures, aliens, dino skeletons, etc.
- World's Fair
- Amusement Park or Big Top Circus
- Puzzles (functioning)
- Mosaic tiles (of same size)
- Parade - floats, bands, big balloons
- A Residential Neighborhood - we each get the same size plot for a house.
- Grimm's Fairy Tales
- Micro-scale Sim City - we could document it as aerial views together
- Office cubicles
- Functional Items w/ decor potential- clocks, ashtrays, masks, jewelry
- A Pet (like the Pet Rock) a very general concept

It might be nice to think of the finished pictures together on our
website. Like, what would represent us as a club.. I can't think of
anything that isn't corny.

- Boston landmarks
- Self-portraits (which could mean anything)
- ?

I like the idea of an Amusement park or Big Top.  It has something for
everyone.  Animals, moving rides, buidings/tents, and maybe even a circus
train.  If the models come out nice, we might be able to use them for the
train show.

(...) I like your Mechanical and Monuments ideas. 'Monuments' is a nice general term. Reminds me of the art show TLC did with the assignment: Gateways. It produced a huge variety of things.
