Well, (guilty) by the time I finished cleaning up my models (they were
already dusty) and completed the little fixes here and there that were
slow due to not being able to find things I needed in our LEGO supply
heap, packed up what I had, and got there at 6:00.

I talked to Mark and Stephanie who were headed home. I looked at your
setup. (Love the Trojan Bunny) And I expect to bring my models back to TCS
today. I have an appointment at 1:00 though so may not make it till
afternoon.

Chris' Trojan Bunny is great (Of course there is no one in it).


I think my models are probably a bit large compared with what's there
(fig-scale-wise) so I'll see what looks ok and what doesn't will come back
home with me. I do see a good opportunity for me to fill up the rear/edges
of the display with trees. I have a ton of trees. Nice thing about them is
that the scale can easily be adapted to match.

I wouldn't worry too much about scale.  As I am sure you could tell wee need to
fill out the Glass cubes a bit.  They are a bit sparse.  If you can fit it in I
would say go for it regardless of scale.  If you are worried about getting to
the cubes don't worry to much just be reach over and move a baseplate or two
out of the way so you don't slip.

I think I expected a couple others to show up so Dave and I used more of our
filler constructions than I expected but all in all I like the set up a lot.  I
was there this morning to try and get a couple more pics and was supprised how
many passers by stopped to check out the window.

I know that at least Dave and I are considering keeping this medieval setup
going as an "On-going" NELUG project where everyone is welcome to contribute
and then we can have a regular setup if we do more public events.  Our Wall
system really worked well I think and I would love to have it grow to
completely surround the city.  It would be great if LEGO Direct offered all the
parts needed for each section.  That would make it much easier to expand on the
wall.



Sorry for not being there. I was thinking of you while building and
scurrying around at home. Hope to see you all soon somehow or another.

Any pics?

I have a few I will try and get up tonight but seeing I left early they are
not
complete.[...]

I'll try taking some. It is a difficult space to shoot, as you said. Those
I would have for upload this evening.

That would be great!!  I took a couple more pic's this morning but I need to go
back at night so that the glare on the windows isn't so bad.  I is a very
difficult area to photograph.

(...) Ha! Excellent! That was the first thing I asked Mark. He kinda looked at me funny till he remembered that 'fatal flaw' in question. ..Hmm. the Python guys did their construction job in the woods by the castle. (insert chainsaw sound) Perhaps (...)
