WW Colorado History Museum Show

[oo7]

Howdy all,

I have recently been admiring photos of the Colorado & Wyoming Lego Users Group's (CoWLUG) Old West themed layout uploaded by flickr user and CoWLUG member Duane "Legozilla" Hess over the past week or so. As he describes, "CoWLUG has a display on at the Colorado History Museum from April 12th through April 29th. The theme was Denver (this was toned down to more generic western) circa 1862. It is a theme that none of us really build in, so it was a fun new challenge. We had a weather system move in the night before setup which left our Wyoming contingent stranded in Laramie. We quickly constructed some filler buildings and replacement parts so that we could pull the show off. On the 15th we went back, pulled out some filler, rearranged some buildings and dropped in the delayed stuff. I'm not sure the general public would have noticed the difference, but I think that the before and after is quite apparent."

My particular favorite aspects are as follows, although I do suggest checking out the full folder since the whole layout is very large.

Yup, there's surely a lot of stuff to see here and even some additional photographs in this folder.

An impressive Western layout indeed, with many fine buildings and cool details like that water pump or Meghan´s 'dragon' totem.... thanks for showing this to us, oo7!

Wow! Thanks for sharing 007. I don't know where to begin. The entire collection is like eye candy for me.

What really stands out is the little details of some of the buildings/scenes. I'm really liking that design/style of the stage coach in the first image. I also like the interior of the bar with all the glasses, the piano, and the bull head on the wall (a nice touch).

What a mountain! That's really impressive.

And lastly, my favorite of the buildings is the red school house - and not to forget the outhouse.

Overall, this is definately one of the better WW displays I've seen. Excellent!

That are very nice buildings!

I mainly like the nice interior of the saloon, the water fall, the water tower next to the rails and the stage coach - they are really impressive !

That mountain waterfall is unbelievably cool! Love that outhouse and water tower.

Wouldnt mind some rum from the Saloon either.

thanks for sharing and inspiring too
