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!

Here is what I’ve created so far:

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!

Wow! That is awesome. I am supremely jealous, I’ve been wanting a forest like that for years.

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 B.E.D. Pie Judge


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.

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. <=ADHDers smiley of choice

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

JOHN

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.
