[...] as they are, brownstones and storefronts are fairly common LEGO structures built to the “Cafe Corner standard.” That makes this great train station by Johan van den Heuvel (Teddy) that much [...]

Hey Aaron! Excellent. Absolutely — a MOC card would be a good idea. It’s not necessary to help the organizers plan for space (we’ve got multiple tables reserved), but it’ll let people know who built the vehicle.

(If it turns out that the MOC card gets in the way of the display — not sure how Town types usually handle these things — we’ll figure something else out to make sure everyone knows what’s what in the display.)

I’m heading upstairs right now to build a vehicle for the zombie display my question is whether I should get a moc card filled out for it on the BrickCon website.

^ Perfect!

So far, I’ve built a 16×32 auto-repair shop and a 32×32 fire station. I’m also going to build a 16×32 brownstone, if I have time. Rocko’s bringing the 32×32 building we featured a few days ago, Justin has a couple large sections, Josh has a building or two, and Ry has hinted at a mysterious contribution as well.

Scotty and Nannan, any sense yet of how big your contributions might be?

This is coming along nicely, with almost two months to go!

Hey Andrew, that sounds awesome. I thought I might try my hand at a mid to large sized hospital, as that is where the epicenter of most modern outbreaks will likely be :-)

^ Hi Lucas! Josh and I were envisioning the display spanning the full cycle, sort of following the story of World War Z. Some of it will depend on how many modules we get — five or six and we may just want to go for immediate post-infection, but if we get 15-20, then we can try to tell the whole “story.”

See you there!

Sounds great – my only question is, are we going for a certain timeline for uniformity?

I’m picturing immediate post-outbreak (lots of running in the streets) versus 28-weeks later (survivors hunkered down, ice cream trucks with machine guns mounted). Either would be fun, I don’t know if people are planning to pick?

Yeah but Nanna, I live in Alabama, it’s kinda hard to get to DCfrom here without paying a load of cash… :P
