AllanSmith Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Layout My display at the Taupo Hobby Expo 7th & 8th of July 2012. I also made the front page of the local paper Two pages of pictures on Brickshelf Enjoy Edited July 11, 2012 by Phred Quote
Xyver Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Congrats on making the front page! Love the port-a-loos, I'm guessing the Dalek is leaking oil? And the alien invasion is a great touch. We'll have to invest in some barricades like you have to keep the little hands off the display. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Very cool layout! I love the Cars slot cars and track! There are some great MOCs in there, with many I recognize. It's great you made the front page as well. You must have really stood out Quote
AllanSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 I'm guessing the Dalek is leaking oil? I had 10 Dalek's on the layout and the public had to find them And the alien invasion is a great touch. I had a cheap tablet as an animated billboard on top of the Grand Emporium playing an Alien Conquest video clip warning of an invasion. Quote
pinioncorp Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Very nice layout! Very detailed with lots to see. I do fear however, that most of it would be lost by having the barricades so far away. Quote
Vindicare Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 That's an amazingly cool town. I like when layouts incorporates other themes like you did here. This really makes me miss my layout, but gives me some fun ideas for when I rebuild. Quote
AllanSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Very nice layout! Very detailed with lots to see. I do fear however, that most of it would be lost by having the barricades so far away. They were only a body width away so we could walk along and talk to the public. We had signs to find the Dalek's and they were easily spotted, even at the back of the layout. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Excellent layout 'Allan' and the sea monster is the icing on the cake ! Brick On ! Quote
AllanSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Excellent layout 'Allan' and the sea monster is the icing on the cake ! Brick On ! Thanks, I used more lighting effects this year (see youtube video) compared to animations last year. Allowed more time to talk to the hobby expo visitors rather than maintaining the animations. Quote
juzo Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Excellent layout, congratulations on the front page. Quote
Capn Frank Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Congratulations on making the front page Allan! Nice Ogopogo! I didn't know people from other hemispheres knew about them. Unless there are similar sea serpents near New Zealand? Quote
AllanSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Nice Ogopogo! I didn't know people from other hemispheres knew about them. Unless there are similar sea serpents near New Zealand? As I have some Scottish heritage I thought Brickley the sea serpent could be the Loch Ness Monster. Quote
