My display at Brick Bash, over the weekend

I met a lot of fellow displayers and they were amazed of what I brought to display. Most of the people that checked out my builds were confused, blown away and a few said they’re true art. For those attendees that read the lengthy stories, they really enjoyed how they elevated the builds. A few even said I should write an actual story about the Veinhart… The reactions from most of the kids were astonishment, scared, or mesmerized by my creations. I even had a few adults and kids keep coming back to just stare in bewilderment at my madness. It was a great weekend and even met a fellow imgurian. He said it was an honor to meet me and that my builds were surreal. I shook his hand and gave him a sticker. He was tickled pink from our brief interaction.

Our MichLUG collab with the cyber cubes was a big hit as well. I am glad we’re enticing more people to create these fun cubes. I felt that adding my 4559 train helped the layout come to life a bit more. All in all, it was a great time for everyone!

The Holiday Express train is really cute and has some cool animations when it rolls. I was surprised by the coffee cup with the sippy-lid - I've never seen that element before.

Behold, the first 3D-printed Lego element. I didn't appreciate how sophisticated this part was - it has a whole mechanism inside and a piston inside the smokestack that moves up and down when it rolls!

Just in time to be used as an #advent activity. Gotta get through my current build first. They're stacking up!
