My 3 yr old had to watch this video 5 times in a row yesterday.
It's an awesome vid!
Nice layouts!

Speaking of your son,
Will he be joining dear-ol-dad when you trek up here to display those amazing
leaves?
Can not wait to hoist a beverage with you again.

Unfortunately, Ross won’t be attending-- actually, this is a work gig for me!
I will be vending with me Brickmania mates!
I am also looking forward to bending elbows after hours with you and the Fêters!

If you are referring to

All good-natured snark aside, these really do produce a remarkably lovely

is a great addition to the palette!

All good-natured snark aside, you have proven to be right in so many ways,
Dave! I have become a total fan of clones, especially when they are produced
by fans themselves. Pandora’s box is open; let the mayhem ensue!
|
As long as the end result is good, I’m all for clones and even for the mixing
of clone brands, though I admit that I tend to be brand-pure in any given MOC
(despite my usual “can’t we all get along” stance on clones).
I seem to recall a very nice LEGO rose from a few years back, though I can’t
find the thread. Was that yours as well? If so, then you certainly have a
knack for brick-based foliage!

Steve Barile has created these great LEGO leaves in Fall colors, and I have
been building with them, and wanted to show them off:-) I’m planning on
swapping out all of the green trees on the TCLTC layout with “Steve’s Leaves”
every autumn, just as a fun change for the viewing public.
Here is what I’ve created so far:
BRICKSHELF FOLDER LINK
I still need to build some using the dark orange and brown leaves, too! As
you can see, the colors are fantastic; folks, you gotta get some of these! I
found them HERE

Another gorgeous clone brand! I love it!

Very nice, very autumny. Have you tried mixing colours in a tree to see what it
looks like?

John,
I am very lucky to say I have had a chance to see those leaves in Green. They
are very very well done.
I hope when you make you way up here for Brickfete.com that you manage to pack a
few bags of the other colours in with the B.E.D. Shirt(1)
Regards
Chris

1. Janey said I was not allowed to have a Brickfete Enforcement Division Shirt
with my face on it.(2)
2. All the more reason why I need one.(3)
3. Strangely enough other people have put in a request for said shirt.

Yeah, I just finished a building for Brickmania’s new super cool Vietnam
diorama, and I’ve dropped 8 Lifelites into that, and I’ve got another
building to go! Maybe I’ll finance anniversary diamonds for Rob’s wife...

I think Dan is bringing this to Bricks by the Bay. I can’t wait to see it!

I promised two updates this week, and so here is the second one for this
week, and it actually involves more Lifelites.
We had already
wired
Harold up to make his
rotor
spin, and that is cool, but we decided that we needed to light up his
helipad as well. And so
HERE is the result. I needed to drill holes all the way up through the
corners, and it was kind of a pain, but I think that the results made it
worth the effort.
I’m the kind of guy (ADHD no doubt;-) that thinks that the more flashing
lights and moving stuff, the better.

I look forward to public reaction to it this Saturday for our monthly open

Oh now you’re corrupted! the drilling holes won’t be the end of it--not by a
long shot :)

I’m afraid to ask, Dave-- what else is there???

The landing pad looks fantastic! nicely done!!

Thanks!

And now that you’re on this long road of lifelites, prepare to drill more
holes all over the layout! :)

Hi John,
How are you lighting the subway. And then on the next couple videos it your
layout at “night”. What kind of lights are you using to light the building
interiors? Very nice BTW! SteveB
|
Thanks, Steve. As you already know all too well, the credit goes to Ross!
The interior lights and the subway lights are the same; I found them on ebay.
Here is a link.
We run about 3 of those off of a 9 volt transformer.

Last week I didn’t get a chance to post a weekly feature, and so I’ll do two
this week!
This one picks up on a little project I
posted about a while ago.
I ordered my Lifelites (thanks, Rob!), they came prompty,
and I promptly dropped some into my copy of
Steven Asbury’s ladder 4
firetruck that we feature on the TCLTC layout.
As Rob warned me HERE, I drilled a lot
of holes (12 so far), and HERE are the results so
far.
I plan on lighting up the rear lights, too, but need to order more lights. I
think that it’s looking pretty hot, if not cool!

I think I know about which bridge you speak;-)
Yup, Brickfair and Brickfête. AND Brickworld. Hopefully Brickscascade. But
mostly as a vendor selling Brickwear. But I’ll bring some Brickmocs, too.
That’s a lot of bricks!
