lightningtiger Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 Before I go to bed....it's nearly one in the morning, I'll share this photo with you..... A picture says a thousand words......you know my wife got screamed and I didn't.....a little shock but now I have my own Opera House to build. I have other photos from the show but you'll seen them before so that's why on shot and it's the money.....or dare I say Lego shot ! Brick On everyone ! Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Congratulations on winning what ever it was you won. Quote
LAKAbricks Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Congratulations, LT! Now there is a new building experience waiting for you. And the big question: Where in NM should the opera house be placed? Quote
WhiteFang Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Congratulation once more! A good job well done. Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks 'Alasdair', 'Fangy' and 'Iaka' for your kind words, I've started building it....all 2981 pieces of it ! I'm on book 2 step 18 at the moment. The OH will take pride of place in our living room.......my wife doesn't realise how big it will be ? The show is going well, at least I remembered to have a train running around it....that gets the kids all going......plus the 501st SW fan-boys dressing up as Vader and stormies keep the kids even more pumped. I'll do a final wrap after the show.....unless Tim beats me to it ! It has been decided that NM will grow a little, a bakery and a proper vet clinic will be moving in.....so those things will come over the next ten months.....keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 Congrats LT. Well done. Thanks 'dr_spock', I have half completed the OH now but on sad news my 501 engine has had a Kathy issue .....Kathy is my wife.....she was trying to place the engine back on the tracks while the wheels were turning.....guess what happened then ? Well my 501 has no back end on it now and parts of the dolly are broken....hello, Toy Corner ! Anyway, we had an awesome turn out for two days ......but in the final minutes my yellow cup broken so I'm waiting on LDD instructions from Tim who designed it so I can repair it ! Keep watching the forums for more Tiger stuff ! Quote

lightningtiger Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks everyone for your kind words, NM will not be growing any more......well not at the moment, my son wants to build a parade with floats, etc., so why not I say. Keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 A quick update on the future of NM.......a parade with two bands and nine floats plus some mounted police......a Christmas parade.....keep watching ! Quote
LAKAbricks Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 ... a Christmas parade.....keep watching ! Christmas parade? Now? - What a coincidence... I'm listening to Christmas music today... Merry Christmas, LT and LT Jr. Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 Christmas parade? Now? - What a coincidence... I'm listening to Christmas music today... Merry Christmas, LT and LT Jr. Really, so soon ? He won't be called LT Jr......more likely something with Zac in it.....I need to make eight small tractors to tow the floats......easy eight all the same style if not the same colours.....keep watching !

Well... My music fits your MOCs I can imagine there is only one LT. Now he just has to find the right name. Quote

He will......what he comes up with sometimes.......imagination overload ! We have drawn up part of the list......including two floats with pretty horses for little girls to ride.......Nipper and Nibble......look them up they are very famous.....at least in South Australia. Keep watching ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Wow, great exhibition LT!
