Modified Cafe Corner Under Construction!

 

Click the picture to see who made it, The color scheme of the roof kind of annoys me, but that is probably because it is under construction. The crane is actually his own model not the set (7905) He did a great job of making it look under construction as well.

 

To Infinity and Beyond!!!

A long awaited creation. I started this "project" a couple months ago and just recently finished building it, because I had to by a ton of black bricks to finish the walls. This first image was taken a while ago, and has a ton of glare, the other photos don't have as much glare, but they still do. I saw Toy Story 3 and it was a GREAT movie. When I saw it, this was already built but it forced me to take the pictures. The pictures didn't come out as good as I thought they would, but oh well. Another thing is when MOCpages resizes the images they start losing a lot of quality, and my pictures are about 10 megapixals, so They start degrading. I took a few good shots, but some not as good as others. But Flickr can actually handle these photos, but I lost count of which ones I uploaded. The width is 16 and 1/2 inches and the height 8 inches.

This one came out pretty good, not as good as the he's back thing.

To get that shine, I had to get one of my lamps and place it behind the set. But it shined through the bricks also.

 

That one came out really good, then I put it into Gimp and blurred it a little.

I thought this one would turn out to be totally epic, but it looks pretty bad.

I don't know what happened here, but it looks totally awesome.

MOC-off entry: Draw

Just a basic western draw.









The rest of the photos can be found on my Mocpages account. For some reason Mocpages can't handle full 10 megapixel photos, I guess I will have to start resizing them.

BrickMagic 2010

     I got back yesterday from one of the most fun and exciting things in my life, BrickMagic, a Lego festival for Lego enthusiasts. It was truly amazing. Comparing it with DC's Lego convention, Brickfair it was about half the size. But, BrickMagic had wonderful workshops and presentations. Brickfair had about twice as many people and it had about twice as many MOCs and vendors, but it didn't have workshops (at least that I know of). BrickMagic also had a special guest, Nathan Sawaya, The Brick Artist, he was a absolutely fantastic speaker. His pieces of art (they were so good I wouldn't even call them a creation) were amazing too. And all he uses is square and rectangular bricks. Other builders that were there include, Joe Meno (editor of BrickJournal), Jordan Schwartz (aka Sir Nadroj), Mathew Hocker, and Kaminoan. Some of the vendors that were there are Here are some pictures of the event.

A glimpse of one of the towns.

 A house by Matthew Hocker

 Everyone that participated (by bringing a MOC or being a vendor) got one 

of the upcoming collectible minifigs.

 Amazing. 

A glimpse of the larger city.

The Womping Willow

A boat from a very large WW2 dio.

 That was pretty much everything. I learned how to make stop motion animations, or Brickfilms in a workshop class. I created one and it should come up in my next post along with a huge WIP.
