Legogal Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Baby arrived yesterday on time. I hope to make it to BW2014 for some pizza and friends. Dale- hope you added lights to that build this year! Congrats on the addition to your family! May your child grow up to love building LEGO with you...what a blast! And it is fun taking your child to anything having to do with LEGO. Quote
ZCerberus Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 A little boy. Hopefully you can meet him someday at Brickworld. Quote
4WD Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 @happymark, DaleDVM and Col. Brick, thanks for your help. I'm sorry to say that I can't make it this year as expected, but with any luck I'll get to meet you all next year. Maybe it's a good thing, because then I can get to know the online community first. @ZCerberus, congratulations! Quote
Hinckley Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 We've been nominated for best group layout again! Quote
CopMike Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 We've been nominated for best group layout again! Niiiiiiice ! Any pictures for us? Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Congratulates on being nominated for best layout. I really like the gunboat,can any one tell me what it is based on and is there a topic on eurobrick's about it? Quote
Hinckley Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Display description: In a far off land, during a time before steam... there was a world that was turned by clockwork gears ... And in this world there is one hero that rules with a golden gear - Leonardo Da Vinici. With his incredible inventions he has created a mechanical Utopia called Vitruvia. The citizens of Vitruvia live in peace and spends their days following the scholarly pursuits and create ever more elaborate contraptions. But all is not well... for there are villains afoot. Jealous of the Vitruvian lifestyle, the evil Enlightened Knights seek to crush the Da Vinci's way of life, and create a city of their own... With their own Mechnical contraptions they march towards Vitruvia. Will the Vitruvians be able to stop them? Quote
TrumpetKing Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Beautiful layout, Hinck. It's stunning, purely stunning. I really love that arch/bridge thing! The moss on the top is such a great detail! Is that Pandrione, Nevrick and Rufus I see? Quote
Hinckley Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 And CopMike and Foog too. DarkDragon, Prune Face, CorneliusMurdock, Cecilie, ace, Ecclesiastes, Quarryman, Vincent Kessels, getdamonkey, Scorpio and CopMike all collaborated on it. Quote
Legogal Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Wow! I love the baseplate covered in 1X2's plates and 2X2 tiles of many different colors....adds so much texture to the build. This reminds me a bit of the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. We saw a model in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin and just watched a program about it on netflix tonight. Makes you wonder just how many ancient civilizations there were and where they were located. Congratulations EBers on another fine work of art! Quote
Quarryman Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I really love that arch/bridge thing! The moss on the top is such a great detail! Thanks! The leaves on top were either cecilie's or DarkDragon's idea, can't remember who of them suggested it, and since there were no leaves on it when I delivered it to cecilie for taking along to Brickworld I suppose they took some liberties when rebuilding it in Chicago. And I'm happy to see that it can take the weight of the monorail, was a bit worried about that since I didn't have time to test it with a train going across before taking it apart for shipping..

Hinckley Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 The leaves were meant for the birch trees which were assembled, but remain barren... Quote
I Scream Clone Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Well done to all the gang for pulling together an awesome display, way to represent! Congratulations to ZC for the safe arrival of his baby boy too! Quote
Hinckley Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 We didn't win. We'll kick VirtuaLUG's megablocks next year. Quote
Shadows Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Damn those virtual people, can't they win some virtual prizes instead? Thanks for sharing those pics, it looks amazing! It's great to see so many people working together to create something fantastic. Quote
Quarryman Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 We didn't win. We'll kick VirtuaLUG's megablocks next year. What did they build this year? Quote
dr_spock Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 What did they build this year? Wizard of Oz. Quote
Silver.Smith Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 No theme yet, they are taking suggestions though. Quote
Silver.Smith Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) The colour is orange. Maybe we need a Dutch theme then? Edited June 17, 2013 by Silver.Smith Quote
Col. Brik Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Great display by the eurobricks group. I enjoyed looking it over and finding all the interesting details. The amount of moving parts was also pretty nice. Quote
Cecilie Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks! The leaves on top were either cecilie's or DarkDragon's idea, can't remember who of them suggested it, and since there were no leaves on it when I delivered it to cecilie for taking along to Brickworld I suppose they took some liberties when rebuilding it in Chicago. Guilty as charged . It looked so empty and clean... so I tossed those on there The leaves were meant for the birch trees which were assembled, but remain barren... Oh, is that what they were for? Sorry . Someone said I could use them for the bridge, don't remember who Btw, here are my BW pictures: Quote
Silver.Smith Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 For those of you that couldn't make it I put together a quick set of pictures from the entire Brickworld: Quote
