 | | Detroit's Fisher Building in minifig scale.
|
|
I just finished a very large Lego minifig scale replica of the Fisher Building, a 28 story skyscraper in Detroit, Michigan. This structure will be displayed as part of the MichLUG train display at GATS in Novi Michigan, March 5th and 6th, 2005. (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX) !!

(...) That's funny... my inspiration for this was from a magnetic-based ice skating rink that my father has on his LGB model railroad. It works basically the same way. I had to try to get the minifig's center-of-gravity towards the back of the (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Well, actually, my fiancee has been away in Finland for a month on business, so since we are 8 hours off, I kept her up-to-date with my work with little videos and photos. This is the first time in a really long time that I haven't had her (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Very nice work, Sean! I reeeeaaaalllly loved the 12 minute video clip. It was agonizing hilarious and familiar, remembering some of my recent building marathon periods preparing my latest creations (which I have yet to document online). I (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Hey Sean, This is way cool! The figs actually look to me like they're ice skating, which suggests an ice rink as a possible MOC. Perhaps the Brick Apple could use a Rockefeller Plaza creation? I'm curious, when a work like this is commissioned for (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Thanks! How much trial & error? Well, way too much -- but still not enough! :) In retrospect, there were a few things that I could have planned better to make it much less of a pain: For example, the paths of the minifigs cross each other. I (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Wow that is amazing! I can only imagine how much trial and error was required to get the whole minifig-walking aspect right. Your LEGO studio is to-die-for - having foam playmats on the floor is an excellent idea. Did you glue the entire (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) It was more than amusing; it was hilarious. I especially recommend watching it at some point where you're not supposed to be giggling at your desk, such as at work. Just make sure you won't get into TOO much trouble when you bust up. Seriously (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Hi everyone! (Alternate subject for this post: "Why has Sean been so quiet for the last few months?") I was comissioned by a Dallas-area company called Healthvision to build a large LEGO model for their booth at a trade show, also in Dallas. The (...)
