Since the guys who are attending seem to be too busy to post pics yet I’ll give a teaser link to Duane Hesse’s Flickr images of the event.

Back in the USSR
I believe one of the privileges of this blog is that you’re allowed to post your own stuff. I’d like to think this one would have made it without it being mine but you can be the judge(s) of that. As such I present a Moscow in the 80s diorama by me. I’ll spare the details here but would like to hear back from anyone who has visited Moscow to let me know how accurate I’ve managed to be.
I’m on the farm again
Misterzumbi is, in my opinion, the undisputed king of wheeled vehicles. The picture is the link.
EDIT:
And since this is still on the front page I won’t make a new post for this beauty…
Gospel train
Well first I’ll say a hello to Brothers Brick readers out there. I’ve been invited to cover trains and virtual LEGO creations (raytraced, rendered but definitely not real) for the blog. I’m very new to this whole blogging thing having started my own blog a bit over a week ago and you probably won’t get many words out of me usually but I’m pretty sure I know a good creation when I see one and I guess that’s what you’re here to see.
To copy-paste my profile on the Brothers Brick “I’m a builder with a short attention span and a lot of virtual bricks. I’m probably most known as a train builder and was involved in the creation of LEGO set 10183 (the Hobby Train Box) but I do a lot of other stuff too. I’m also a member of the LDraw SteerCo and a webmaster for the site.”
Anyway, on to the good stuff…
When I was just starting out building properly with LEGO (as opposed to the mucking around I did as a kid and young adult) the train builder who inspired me the most was James Mathis. I’ve since had the honour of working with James on a couple of projects as well as the Hobby Train Box. As well as being one of my favourite train builders James has the added advantage of allowing me to introduce both my areas of ‘research’: trains and virtual LEGO.
And to give you something brand spanking new (well almost) I’d also like to show off Andreas Weissenburg’s Bird.
And I think I’ll leave my inaugaral post at that. Hope it’s all worked OK.
