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 model is
currently on display at the Dallas Convention Center, and will be there for the
rest of the week. (Although it’s not open to the public - sorry TexLUG folks!)
Read all about it on MOCpages.
The model consists of 2 large buildings, 5 small buildings, a gently contoured
terrain, and little minifigs that walk around from building to building.
See

It was incredibly complicated to get the motion working (being as non-Technic-al
as I am). Actually, the mechanics were simple enough, but I encountered a lot
of woes with friction and the topheavy nature of a minifig. (I even assembled a
12-minute video of the various mechanical tests I ran over the last few weeks...
some people have found it amusing, shrug.)
The model took 350 man-hours to complete, and was built in about a month. (Yes,
do the math - I didn’t sleep much.) :)
Sean
