I promised, here they come. I am sorry, but at this moment I can only tell you how big the hall is. We have a stage with 80 sqm The mainhall has 634 sqm There are some smaller "rooms" like one which is called "club", it has 26 sqm, maybe it is possible to have a special exhibit there and in other rooms. More Details, when I have them.

More information will come, don't worry. :) Number of people depends on what they want to show - if people want to bring their city or a lifesize Darth Maul bust for example. Personally, I would prefer a mix. We just got started with the planning, that's why I also asked for information on Lego events themselves, so we do not know which activities are possible and stuff like that. Of course it will depend on what we have to offer, who will be there. But at this stage of planning, it would be enough to know, that people are interested in that little town. With no interest in it after all, it is a waste of time planning it. Don't get me wrong - I am already planning it and I am grateful, that you already helped me by asking for more information.

Hello everybody. I am working for an event agency and my supervisor is interested in a Lego exhibition, where people can show their work in MOCs or even cities. He asked me, as he knows I am a Lego fan, to contact the community and I thought, EB should be the best place to start. We don't have a date yet, but a location. It will be held in 32839 Steinheim, Germany, a rather small town close to Paderborn which I guess is better known. So we are looking for people, preferable from nearby but we don't care if someone from Australia wants to visit us, who are willing to show their work. Of course, without a date it is rather hard to say, but in this early stage it is just to see how the reception is. If somebody has experience with hosting a Lego exhibition, I would be very pleased if he/she can share some knowledge with me. Thank you in advance.

This really is awesome. I prefer the ship, as it looks quite authentic to the ones which are on the "Rhein".

Well, that's exactly what I do with my gf - show her the MOCs here so she sees how creative some people are. I lack that talent too, but I am still able to have some ideas on Lego and I think, with practice comes the quality.

I like this car a lot - so much, that I want to fill my city with some of them. :-)

When you are a kid, you want to become pilot, construction worker, policemen or firefighter. With Lego, you can live that dream. For adult collectors of course, this balance is not that nice, as we want more civilian stuff, to fill our city, but as it was already said, it's aimed at kids. So we have to build the stuff we want on our own.

Basically, that is quite a hard question for me, as I had girlfriends who didn't understand and those who did. I even was married and she talked to me about Lego and stuff, we often builded up sets together and she even helped me cleaning and sorting the bricks. Right now, I have a girlfriend, who understands my liking of Lego, but she doesn't share it. (Ok, she bought some keychains last time we were in a LegoShop) She also want's to help me in building and cleaning, so she at least shares the effect of doing something together. I never builded up any city, so this was never a topic. But in every corner of my normal life there is some Lego involved. If you don't like me and my Lego, we are not meant to be a couple. That's how I see it now.

My vote goes for 7744 - but it is close to the new one. I like the idea with the "closed" parking more then an open road - and that's mainly the only thing which makes the winner here, as both are fantastic sets. The first one however is nice as well, but I dislike the hill baseplate. That's btw the reason I don't have the hospital yet. :)

@peterab: I would like to see some photos of it, do you have any? It sounds interesting. @LegoSjaak: Nice City. Some real nice ideas inside and I see you had the same idea as me, with the train bridge. :-) Thanks to all so far - it really impressed and inspired me.

Same here as praatek - outside isn't very much fitting to the winter village (IMO) but I guess, you have to have something like that for an orphanage. But the inside is just pure awesomeness - very detailed and I love the train. Ah, and the food of course is stored in the shelves. :-)

This one is really awesome. I don't like "plain" floor, as I think, a lot of Lego Feeling is lost, but that doesn't make your MOC less impressive. I wish I would be as creative as some of the guys here. ;-)

Exactly. Thanks for the picture. EDIT: After checking your picture, I think it is another nice solution - the only problem here is, that I want to keep it as original as possible. So only sets from the current Lego City Line - that makes the attachment to another set a little bit more complicated. The way lightningtiger is doing it, seems better in my particular case. But still not perfect. BTW: Nice work. :-)

That would work, if I don't want to lift it up. I mean something like http://img.quoka.de/Modelleisenbahn_Anlage_Maerklin---foto-bild-77-44444077.jpg - but with Lego. So it is not on a big table ot the ground, but on many tables. I thought about buying the small tables "lack" at Ikea.

Hello everybody. Today I started building up my City - as I builded up Model Train Landscapes before, I want to do it similar. And I also thought, maybe I get my City one day to a nice and lovely convention or something like that, so I want to build it up in modules, so I can "easily" unassemble it and put it back together. Also, It takes less space when I only build it partwise, as I can store the unused modules in a box for example. So, here are my questions: Has anybody experience in a module based city? I have seen a lot of cities around here, but none looked module based. How do I connect the modules? If they have no connection, they can get loose and it doesn't look nice anymore. How do I get "pins" on the underground? Glueing big baseplates on it? (Was my first idea.) Or by simply screwing them with small screws? Thanks for help in advance. :-)
